Reviews of professor Alex Hillar

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I believe that Alex would be much more engaging if taking a class with him in person, as opposed to online. I appreciate his weekly email to introduce new lessons & he is quite personable and responsive. Course complexity is far beyond what is necessary for ECS. Labs are not corrected, so we could all be studying wrong information for the exams.

easy exams and weekly tests

Worst bio professor for the nursing program. Lectures are not high quality. Forces students to use the spyware that had multiple security breaches in the past and still claims the spyware is safe. Changes your grades on the test and gives you a big surprise because he marked them incorrectly. Also the practice test is inaccurate compared to tests

Alex offers no support for students. He does not reply to emails, posts lectures on Friday or Saturday when assignments are due Sunday, and makes final exams worth 45% of your grade. He provides no feedback either. Assignments are not marked for weeks. No way to know if you are doing well in the course. Awful professor. Avoid his classes.

I do not undestand the reason for all negative comment about Alex. I read all this at the begining of the semester and freaked out . For those who having him in future, he is very nice professor, but he talks Slow. all questions for exams are from PowerPoints. Of course , there are few SATA questions only 20%. If u study, for sure you will get A.

Alex is a good guy BUT his lectures are not as engaging as other professors. He can teach but like his monotone voice makes you wanna sleep. Microbiology is fairly easy, you don't really have to go to class to pass this course. Everything is on the powerpoint (except you need to fill the blanks). He tries to be funny and engaging. 10/10 for effort.
