Reviews of professor Blake Alspach

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took Professor Alspach's online 6-week ESC1000 and 8-week MET1010 and both were great! His lectures were interesting and informative and he provided helpful notes and additional videos to accompany the textbook. All quizzes and exams are open notes, which is nice. He gave helpful feedback and grades quickly. I highly recommend both courses!

Dr. Alspach is amazing I took this class as a dual enrolled student, and it was not easy but its accomplishable and you can definitely due it if you put your mind to it and really read the textbook he's a great teacher and his lectures, assignments and quizzes, really prepare you for the 3 tests throughout the course.

He is straightforward in the grading and his material is simple. Most of the material is powerpoint. There are a lot of slides to take notes from, but all quizzes are open access to notes. He is accessible through email and does a good job in handling matters. He gives only one small extra credit assignment. I would take him again.

Professor Alspach has been such a great professor for my online course. He is extremely understanding about things over email, especially tech issues that I have had. I am thankful I took his course.

Good professor, discussions were pretty easy, quizzes too. What made my grade a B- were the exams. There are 3 exams in total, and they are quite difficult. Timed (45 minutes and about 22 questions) and you cannot go back to the previous question. It's also multiple questions in one, which makes it more complicated. Tests require LockDown Browser.

I like that theres no textbook. He does use powerpoints, but theyre kind of messy because it will be 2 powerpoints per lesson with 80% of the same stuff. The linked websites are long and mostly unused topics. Its hard to tell whats important. Which makes test prep chaotic. But besides the annoying readings he was wonderful. helpful. i guess

DR. Alspach was awesome. He made the class enjoyable. His quick ten-minute videos and weekly emails really made this class. While he has strict rules, they were not hard to follow. Essentially, do your work and earn your grade. I love the challenge and the way he had class experience. I would take him for any class. Great Professor!
