Reviews of professor Alex Blauvelt

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I got a good grade but Ive never felt this discouraged & belittled by any professor until now. Hes very condescending. He constantly talks down on students work. He doesnt offer any valuable feedback on assignments & hes extremely arrogant. As a professor and a person he is very off putting and I would never recommend someone to take his class.

Great professor! He challenges you because he wants you to be prepared for the real world. Truly cares for his students and is willing to work with you to improve your grade. Sent me an email half way in the semester congratulating me on how much I improved on my last two papers, never had a professor do that before! Definitely recommend him!

Mr. B is great. YES he is challenging, but this is a class for graduating seniors. He provides VERY clear prompts/rubrics for each assignment. My best advice is to follow the rubric and start your papers early, as reflective writing takes more time. He really helped bring together everything we've learned, and wants his students to succeed.

He's amazing! He seems really tough/intimidating but he genuinely wants you to succeed. His focus on reflective thought will come in use for your future - especially if you're interviewing for literally anything. The papers can seem hard but just read through the assignment and rubric and you'll be fine. Listen to the feedback!! & Go talk to him!

This class has been awful. Mr. Blauvelt does NOT care for his students at all. At the beginning of the semester he tried to make himself look very intimidating and told the class that he was a very tough grader. I've barely been able to get above a C on the 5 papers we write. He will fail you and you won't be able to graduate!! DO NOT TAKE

He was so rude and belittling to students. He was just a mean professor. Also, Dr. Corwin said this class doesn't lower your grade based on attendance but he will lie to you and say it does. He can't impact your grade based on attendance. There are a lot of papers but he can't help that. He is arrogant and rude. Don't take him.
