Reviews of professor George Kintiba

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Kintiba is like an uncle to his students. He really cares about your success in the class but I also want to make sure you learn. He likes his students to be engaged so hell call out students name and no cell phone use in class. One thing I didnt like was his change of assignment specifications last minute and not following his syllabus.

Nice guy, but worst professor I've ever had: -moved a test to previous class without announcement -assignment specifications and dates are unclear -said he would be an hour late to class; never showed -isn't tactful when discussing religion, especially Islam (I'm not religious btw) -tested on arbitrary material -almost certainly forges grades

The teacher is very disorganized and does not present good guidelines for assignments. Calls on students randomly and expects detailed expert answers. Expect students to fully understand and remember all specific details about the readings. Fails to let students know what is essential for readings and does not set up students for success.

one of the most disorganized classes i've ever taken. didn't follow or update the syllabus. when we had assignments, they were short notice and didn't have clear criteria. was always unsure what to read/prepare for class sessions and he will randomly call on students. thinks he's being friendly but it comes off awkward. mandatory cameras on on zoom

WORST PROFESSOR EVER!! I'm surprised UMD can allow this type of teacher in their school. This guy managed to make a 100-level class a 300-level class. We would have a midterm, a paper, and a movie review all the same day. Grades you based on emotions; doesn't read your work. Makes bad jokes like "Im going to bite you". Doesn't respond to emails.

He is absolutely the worst professor I have ever had. Do not take his courses!!!! He is extremely prejudiced and Islamophobic, and makes this clear in his lectures, and he constantly makes students uncomfortable. How he still has a job as a professor God knows. There have been multiple reports against him and he still hasn't been fired. RUN!!!
