I have never been scared at the end of the semester like I have in his class. He is by far the worst professor at the school hands down. This man has made the last few months for me a total headache per to graduating. It can take you days to do one of his assignments and he will still give you a grade of 60-75. PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COST

Professor Koretsky offered a challenging class that makes you work for an A. Great professor!

Most difficult course I've taken at UMUC (UMGC). Even following the rubics wasn't sufficient. You had to think like the professor or fail. Never gotten a D ever. Very discouraging.

Required responses to learning assignment submissions from other students, but takes points off if you challenge or disagree with the other student at all. Never bothered to do markups of the papers themselves to point out specific errors, just generalized them in the feedback and left it to the student to figure out what was meant.

Not sure why this guy is still employed. His comments on my papers are passive aggressive. I'm fighting every grade he has given. I have had so many instructors at UMGC and I feel all were very fair in their grading. I am literally going line by line of each paper to his rubik and justifying my work with the administration. Sad he was my last instr

The feedback given was not helpful. The weekly discussions did nothing for class discussions and learning from other point of view.

This is one of the worst classes I have ever taken at UMGC. NEVER in my degree (last class before graduation) have I had an issue w/APA until now. No matter how you cite even if you copy/paste his own citations, still wrong. 1st he says too many citations/quotes used then he says not enough. Contradicts himself in grading expectations. Avoid.
