Reviews of professor Steven Gruenewald

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
You better be able to read a book and teach your self the work. His lectures consist of him rattling off numbers and different pages to turn to. Doesn't even write out problems for you, just posts a slide show. Doesn't tech the whole chapter but will test you over all of it. Be ready to look up how to do NEW problems in the book when test taking

Very nice guy. Class is very easy, show up and make sure to do the homework and you will pass. All the exams are online and are open book/note. Would definitely take again!

I think he would be a pretty decent professor if he were organized. There is only three assignments and two exams, so if you mess up one of them, then it really hurts your grade. He did not use the technology like he should have for an online class. He also gave us the incorrect syllabus and final exam, but was fair about his mistakes(fixed grades)

Dr. G is hands down one of the best professors at USI. He is extremely understanding & and always has such a good attitude. Do yourself a favor and take a Dr. G class. 10/10

I feel he is fair and certainly cares a lot about the students. There were a few days in class he seemed a little rattled. There was a rumor in class that he almost died during his military service, I decided to be more understanding. Very nice, easy to speak with and is always available during his posted office hours.

Completely unorganized professor. Told us three different groups of chapters that would be on the final. Then but in a chapter on the final that he didn't even teach us. Better teach yourself because his videos are pretty much useless. Felt like he quickly threw the course together. Very test heavy and tests are hard.

Not very helpful with questions and lectures were extremely boring. Very monotone and just has a podcast where he references the textbook, PowerPoint, and papers all at the same time. The lectures are short and only really work through one problem, leaving you confused when you have to do it on your own. Only 2 tests and 2 assignments.

I don't know why, but it just feels like this class is so disorganized. He has random assignments listed that we never actually do, and the work just feels random. Don't get me wrong, Dr. G is an amazing and wonderful person, just very unorganized and anxiety-inducing.
