Reviews of professor Gregory Forbes

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The work load is insane, the amount of hours I spent studying was insane and I still got a B borderline B-. His exams are terrible, you basically feel tricked by how he words his exams, does NOT give info for exams, basically tells you to know all the info. NOT enough time on exams. Felt almost like he wanted us to fail. Do not take him if you can.

If I had the opportunity to take any of his classes and in doing so would get paid $250,000 I would RUN the other way. He is a "professor" that prides himself to make his classes overly challenging, and confusing. Most of the exam and quiz answers are trick questions or half-correct questions. You will never receive 100% on ANY homework assignment.

He would tell my lecture that we were behind in material (due to him telling stories) so he had us watch many videos online, which were over an hour long. Also words his test terribly. Does not feel approachable at all. I went to his office hours for help, and he told me to not even study, I am too far behind, and he will see me in 121 again.

This is a weed out course and requires far more effort than the average class due to the shear amount of content covered, however Dr. Forbes does an incredible job providing comprehensive note outlines, explaining concepts with multiple examples and formats for varying learning styles, and delivering captivating lectures. Would recommend!

Felt like I was set up to fail. I believe he could be a better professor if I had him in person but for his online class, there wasn't much besides videos and exams. He isn't very understanding. I've spent so many hours reviewing and studying yet Im still failing. The only grades you receive are for the 4 exams.

 I do not recommend taking their lecture class due to the amount of time spent on off-topic tangents during lectures, which can feel like a waste of time. Additionally, the large volume of lecture notes provided can be overwhelming and time-consuming to study. Be prepared to study, study, study. Also, attendance is mandatory.

Dr. Forbes is an exceptional professor as well as insanely hilarious! The notes are your holy grail and tests are challenging. He makes this class enjoyable which is hard to come by.
