Reviews of professor Kevin Gleason

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Kevin Gleason is by far the worst teacher I've ever had. He wrongfully dropped me from his class and ignored all of the emails I sent him through the entire semester after I managed to get back in by talking to the Dean. Very unprofessional, and he grades too harshly. He admits the average grade of his discussion boards is a D. Don't take him.

Discussion posts are critical. He grades heavily on your posts and responses. Only took this class because all other history classes were taken and this still fulfilled my requirement. Long and droning lectures.

The worst teacher I have ever had. You will not pass no matter how hard you try and whenever you reach out to the teacher he is rude. It shows why the class mean is so low yet he doesn't see anything wrong with his grading even when he doesn't say what he wants in the assignment description. DO NOT TAKE.

Show up because attendance is heavy on your grade, do well of the final paper, the final and mid-term isn't hard just takes notes and have a good idea what to write about, filling up the journal is great, doing the minimum gives you what you deserve. No tests or quizzes but lots of heavy lectures and information. Don't buy the book it isn't needed.

Do not take this class unless you want an insane amount of homework and very tough grading. It took me three hours to do ONE discussion, it was the most in-depth discussion response I've ever done. I got an 8 out of 20 on it. Also, they're due frequently. You literally have to have your computer attached to your hip in order to pass.

Rude, not caring. Likes to hear himself talk. Decent amount of reading.

Theres a lot of reading in the text book, and watching the lectures, then reading the many pages for each weeks two discussion boards. He seems to have a good personality, but I asked him three times for an office visit and he keeps suggesting other things. I now have a D in the last couple weeks of the crammed class and I really did try.

Just finished 6 week summer online course and it was a ton of work, but I learned a lot. He gets deep in your DMs and you will need to talk to him one on one in every discussion. Very socratic teaching style. Think he lives next to his computer and usually responds within minutes.
