One of the worst teachers in my life, and I've had many teachers. He just didn't show up to many classes. When he was there, he rarely explained anything properly. One of my classmates threatened to sue the department because of him. He made a lot of assumptions about technical matters instead of asking what students knew. Very unavailable.
I can't believe some of what I'm reading. The rates are so inconsistent with my experience. He was one of the better teachers! He was highly engaged with students' work and unparalleled in working with their process to help them do great work. He stands out as one of my favs.
If life was a mess after Rye, these main cause. Taught supposedly technical course...but never really taught anything. Was one of main in crop that got teaching jobs in Photo/Image Arts in the 70's because of who they knew. These people were incoherent and couldn't teach if life depended on it. Nice person, Couldn't teach, and no checks form school
Thank god he is finally gone, we learned absolutely nothing in his class other than what we figured out for ourselves. I'm sure he was good once, but I guess he was just waiting out his retirement?
While I believe he genuinely knows what he's doing, he cannot for the life of him tell you what he's doing, or how to do it. He'll spend hours with you to help you solve problems, and is an easy marker, so you will pass the course if you just try a little. But the class will frustrate you to no end.
QUIRKY is good! Emil has spent literally hours with me to make sure that I am in control of the process, rather than the other way around! Most other teachers love to mystify. Emil hates mistification and has no tolerance for it.No wonder pseudo-geeks hate him.
He's a genuinely nice guy, friendly, tries to throw in some humour. I'm not sure why people say he's disorganized and has no plan, he has PPT outlines and notes for each of our classes. The only thing is, he seems to know what he's doing, but doesn't know how to teach it. He'll spend lots of time trying to help you, but good luck understanding!
Does not deserve to be teaching. Seems to just wonder in to class with no plan and proceeds to teach nothing. A waste of time and money.
