Reviews of professor Charles Gniech

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I would never take his classes again if he wasn't the only graphic design teacher at this school. No respect for the students, constantly belittles them and has made almost every student in the classroom cry but blames them for their "emotional outburst." The syllabus is useless and he has surprise exams worth many points. Flippant with decisions.

If Chuck wasn't the only teacher to be in the graphic design course, I would wholeheartedly take someone else. He is an art snob who expects professional work from students that are trying to get into the program. even the ones with experience will be left confused as his instructions are vague and at most unhelpful. unfit for online courses.

Chuck is one of my favorite professors. I've taken three classes of his so far and have two more scheduled with him next semester. He may seem tough at first, but get to know him and he's really sweet. His expectations are clear, and as long as you stick to the timeline, everything is manageable. Discussion board responses are important!!

Funny, respectful, patient, just a wonderful professor who clearly has a lot of experience in his field and is happy to share what he knows. Has clear expectations on what he's looking for and does his best to help students achieve them, as long as you put in the work. Answers emails quickly and updates icampus as needed.

I love and hate Chuck for what he brings. One he will make you cry. But he'd also does not want you to half-ass things. He's though for a reason. But I always say he's more then a sour-patch kid then anything. Just if your taking a "Chuck" class, try to keep it only one or two a semester (Unless your online/taking his history classes) Be ready.

While this class' structure may have been affected by the last-minute change to online, it was still organized horribly. He didn't know how to use the website and even opened the class a day late. There were days where he would open assignments after not having any for a week and not tell the class. His critiques were typically mean and unhelpful.

Gniech was not prepared for this class to be put online when COVID-19 hit this summer. He expects professional level quality out of beginner students while also offering little to no help. One of the worst things that happened was when he assigned a project in the evening and made it due that night without making anyone aware of it himself.

This professor does not respect his students' abilities and expects expert level standards from every single student on all aspects. Made the nicest student im my class leave the room crying. Do not take this professor despite his somehow outstanding reputation in the art community
