Reviews of professor Craig Goralski

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
There aren't enough reviews to describe how much you should not take this class!! He's an extremely tough grader w/ no actual feedback or examples. Also, as a GE, there's no reason I need to memorize this information. The tests are timed.. with no space to breathe. The real world doesn't operate w/o google... no actual skill is taught in this class

Class wasn't what I expected but was still interesting. If it's in lecture slides, it's on the quiz/exam. Paper wasnt hard and he gave me good tips on how to write it. Lecture videos are in sections which helps. I could see some of the bad reviews coming from majors not used to reading and writing, but no issues here.

Thought this would be a rough class, but it turned out to be pretty good. Quiz and exam questions are straight out of lecture. Assignment is 6-7 pages of writing, but half of it is summarizing two articles. Lets you skip an essay question on exam and drops low quiz score. Movie on Jonestown was hardcore.

I took the online version of Magic, Shamanism, and Religion. I was expecting a relatively easy class, I was dead wrong . The Prof assigns so manydense readings, text book and outside articles. Then you have quizzes with only 10 very specific questions. Just not worth it to take. I'm not even enjoying what I'm learning.

Took his class two years ago and I still remember stuff from his lectures and a couple of movies we watched, so that's something.

He will make you work for your grade in a combination of various quizzes, discussion boards, and a writing assignment by the end of the course. He is a very tough grader but if you attend his office hours he is more than willing to discuss ways to improve your academic performance. I definitely wouldn't recommend this as an easy GE.

Too much to read, gives out a lot of reading depending on week. He will give 50 pgs. of reading, 3-5 articles, 2-3 videos, 1 discussion assignment, 1 quiz. It was too much in very little amount of time. Textbook was very difficult to understand. He expects highly of one, but not himself. If you like complex words and a repetitive text, take him.

Words can't describe what a headache this class has been so far,  heavily based on lecture and readings. 80% of the class work is packed into the LAST MONTH of class I didn't think this class would've been too bad but so far I'm regretting taking this class.

A lot of work and dull material for a class that is supposed to be interesting. Would not take again.
