Reviews of professor Philip Tschirhart

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The reviewers of the in-person class are all right and this professor underperforms GREATLY in online classes too. He talks so quickly and is SO arrogant and rude. He posts long videos of himself talking and then gets angry when he's asked questions. Definitely not supporting at all. He makes you feel really subpar, which is unfair.

Dr. T cares about his students and making sure that they learn as much as possible. He is willing to help if you reach out. The syllabus is going to change a lot. He schedules in more than he can realistically do. Can be stressful not knowing for sure how grades were goi g to break down until the end

Dr. Tschirhart is a solid choice! He's very accessible to get a hold of, the lectures are well informed, and the grading criteria is very clear. Attendance is mandatory so make sure you show up. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the subject matter than it seems to go over the student's heads and he talks SO fast but besides that he's good!

His lectures are hard to understand because he explains things in a complicated and lengthy manner. His TA saved that class because without her I wouldn't have passed, she should've been the professor of that class. Lots of group assignments so be careful who you choose to work with, because you work with the same group all semester.

HORRIBLE. Do not take. He's arrogant, throws a ridiculous amount of instruction at you but it's still somehow never clear, loves to give negative feedback but rarely anything positive. He loves to show off his PhD education by throwing out as many dictionary words as he can and talk at 100mph. He should not be a professor, save yourself from him.

Summer online class with ridiculous workload. Unorganized. Had syllibi (yes, more than one) Contradictory instructions - had no idea what he's assigning & grading but of course it's the student's fault for not following instructions, but which one should we follow? Treated an elective with no preQs like a 700 level grad class. AVOID!
