Professor Ebels is a great professor and understands peoples limitations when it comes to online class. As long as you do the work and participate in discussion questions you will be fine. Also responds to emails quickly

Comment:

This professor doesn't teach. If you are good at teaching yourself thing then he's perfect for you. The article review is worth as much as the exam and it doesn't make any sense. Don't study your notes for the tests, but do the practice tests. Your notes don't benefit you at all. Also, he doesn't post any announcements on blackboard.

Comment:

Professor Ebels was my favorite teacher this semester. His sarcasm was on point and super funny. His class can be easy but, it is extremely helpful to go to his classes because depending on the day, he will give answers to the extra credit on the test. Take the practice test, those questions are on the test and if you study it enough, you will pass

He was rude from the beginning and he was rude till the end. He gave me zeros for assignments that I did. The article review makes no sense because I turned the same paper in for a different class and got 100% in the other class and he gave me a 0/100??? dropped my grade 10 points. I email him and ask him to check everything now before I turn it in

If you want a professor who will grade your papers, and not communicate anything else to you about why you didn't get a better grade, he's the one! He will grade your papers as if you have already passed his class, and instead of teaching you and communicating where you are lacking, he will simply do the bare min. Grade you and move on to the next.

Lectures were very boring and very unorganized. He rarely talked about anything that was relevant to the class, just about random things. He doesn't outline his expectations for assignments very clearly. Did not use the book. He does factor attendance into your grade. Tests were take home tests. Overall a very boring class but an extremely easy A.

This professor doesn't teaches anything on the test, but the extra credit. Everything is online based and feels just like an online class. Facts that have nothing to do with his class more for the future I guess. Do not take him if you actually want to get interested in CJ. Thats why I took him class feels like a drag. Enjoys calling out people.

He's just okay. He has a weird set up for his classes and doesn't spend a whole lot of time teaching about criminal justice. He likes to go off on other subjects that don't relate to the class. I didn't really learn anything new from this class about criminal justice. He teaches the very basics in class. He also has a weird grading system.

Mr Ebels is a very very easy teacher. Text book is not needed and will never use in class, but you need mindtap, the online tool. He tells you question that will be on the tests and as long as you study, you will be good. I also learned a lot throughout the semester.

He's a pretty cool guy. Very interesting to speak to. But he talks a lot and goes on tangents and honestly its annoying when you're trying to pass his class. But he will tell you that everything you need to know for tests and quizzes will be used in every lecture and its TRUE. pay attention, and do ALL OF YOUR ASSIGNED HOMEWORK.

Pretty easy class. Do the discussion boards and you'll be fine. The test was moderately easy. Very little homework and quizzes compared to my other GRCC online classes.

Professor Ebels is by far the best teacher I've ever had. He is the funniest guy. He is also very passionate about what he does. He was an MP in the airforce, police officer for Wyoming PD, Paramedic, and was Police Chief of GRCC. The tests are the same exact thing as the online practice tests(they aren't graded but do them!) Excellent Professor.

He is an amazing class. I changed my major but I am still glad that I took his class. He was funny and always interesting. I was never bored in his class. The test are really easy. At the end of the semester if he notices that you are close to the next grade up and thinks you deserve it he will give it to you.

Gary Ebels, what a guy! He is such an interesting professor. If students fall asleep in class, he will make them stand up, or kick them out if they don't listen to him. Interesting stories to share as he was a police officer for many years. He pushes students to reach for the stars and create higher goals for themselves educationally.
