Reviews of professor Alex Bies

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He's a good professor and the material is difficult so I had to work to earn my grade, but he is fair and I learned a lot!

Im terrible at these types of classes and pulled off getting an A. However, this class isnt easy and you will have to work for the grade you earn. If youre having trouble with concepts hell help you get it, he even answers emails on nights and weekends. Hes friendly and cares about student success. Go to class and study and youll be fine.

Do not take this professor for stats for psychology. His tests are next to impossible. There is almost no math on any of his tests even though it is a math class. His tests are also filled with grammatical errors and are hard to read. His lectures are very scattered and he doesn't give many examples in class. Not an easy A.

Alex seems unclear of his own material, talks so quietly that you cannot hear him in class, and does not go over what is on the tests. I attended every class, did almost all the readings, and studied for tests yet still never got above a B-. He has ignored my email to him asking for help when I need it and isn't in his office hours. Avoid his class

Bies is one of the worst psych profs at gonzaga. It's obvious he does not care about his classes or teaching. I emailed him multiple times throughout the semester about papers and exams and he rarely responded. Definitely would check out other professors before taking him again.

Hard class and lecture heavy. The book is not very helpful and sometimes it is hard to know what he is talking about. Very nice guy but confusing material, all quizzes are group quizzes so you will always get 5/5, daily homework.

AVOID. He is the LAZIEST professor I have ever had- does not teach the material whatsoever, but expects you to know it for tests. His classes were so boring and no one ever showed up, he absolutely does not care how you are doing in his class, & you do nothing in each class besides listen to his monotone voice & sigh. No one in the class did good.

Alex is not someone I would recommend. I loved him as a person, super chill and nice. But his class was unnecessarily hard and his grading is harsh! All his exams are difficult to study for. No matter how hard I tried on them I still got low marks because of unclear criteria. Doesn't grade things so I have no idea what my grade is in the class.

Prof Bies is an amazing professor! He always answered any of the questions I had. I highly suggest you go to office hours because he will help you with anything and might give you extra points for visiting. Such a nice professor and he is super chill! Assignments are super easy and the quizzes are online! Highly suggest him! Won't regret it!
