Reviews of professor Kevin Gleason

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
He just doesn't care. Refuses to communicate with us and it's no wonder the discussion boards have an average of a D... he's ridiculous

Do not recommend at all, weird due dates that we had to just be aware of and not actually in the canvas calendar. My biggest regret has been taking this course, it has way too much work and he is extremely strict on grades. I spend three hours on each discussion yet can't get better than a 50% on any of them. Expect to be frustrated by his courses.

Super passionate about history. Great prof but discussion boards are a lot of work. He's pretty tough on grading exams. You gotta do good on the 3 part midterm and final to pass the class.

Do not take this professors class. This was by far the worst prof I have ever had. Discussion boards are insane amounts of work with uninspired questions. The lectures were unengaging. Grading was harsh, you could put hours into a discussion and still get a D. It did not feel like he wanted you to succeed, and that severely stunted trying to learn.

Horrible professor, unclear grading rubric, quizzes and homework are worth 50% each aside from midterm and final so acing all the quizzes can still result in a non passing grade with the unexplained 6/10's on discussion boards (5.8 is the mean) Would not recommend.

I have nothing personal against him, however, I did not pass the class due to a final that was due on a Saturday when everything was due Sundays (my fault ultimately). I was also accused of plagiarism from a .com source, as I know that they are not usually accepted I wouldn't even touch a .com source. A passionate teacher with interesting lectures.

The only professor during covid that actually gave me feedback on my work. I spent more time talking to him than I did all my other teachers combined.

Thought it was normal online class, but Prof. Gleason sends you messages every week and asks you questions about discussions. If you don't want a back and forth every week then don't take. I liked it though. My friend didn't. Lectures are reasonable length. Quizzes are easy. Probably don't need text book. Just google quizzes.

Terrible. Does not grade appropriately.
