This man is the head of the computer science department at Owens Community College. I have had several courses with him and he is extremely unhelpful, extremely rude, quick to shy off responsibility, and seemingly uneducated in the courses he is directing. His LinkedIn profile claims he has 3 degrees but should definitely be re-evaluated as a professional in today's standards. 1. Completely unprofessional and unethical teaching practices. He will announce to everyone how other students are doing and degrade them in front of everyone. How this man has not been sued yet is beyond me. 2. No accountability. We had assignments due in class through CompTIA and it took him almost a whole month to get us access to these courses and got no extension on the semester so we had to do all of our assignments in that time or drop out and have to pay for the class anyways. 3. Unethical grading practices. He uses a very inaccurate AI bot to grade your papers. I am convinced he doesn't even look at your papers. He just takes what the AI bot says at face value and does not consider that the AI bot is hallucinating. For him to even send me the report, he demanded that I speak to him in a very specific manner where he sent me the very inaccurate report, claimed he would re-evaluate the paper and never did. 4. Poor Communication. He says to "work ahead" but when asking for advice on future assignments he refuses to help until that assignment is at its due date. 5. Not punctual. Fails to post instructions for assignments in a timely manner. 6. Lies by claiming that he doesn't use AI to grade papers and assignments. |

This man should not be a professor. Wildly unhelpful and combative if you ask for help. He will just send you a youtube link and explain nothing. You have to learn for yourself because he just will not help you. Instructions were often unclear, poorly worded, misleading, or just all around unhelpful. I ended up dropping the class before the withdraw date. Have avoided him like the plague since. |

Cyril is a HORRIBLE professor and I wouldn't recommend him to anyone. When I needed assistance with binary in IST 101 I emailed him to ask for help. He emailed me a Youtube video to watch. After watching the Youtube video, I still was having problems understanding so I emailed him again asking for a one on one lesson, and he just sent me an email telling me to go on Youtube and find a different video instead. I then emailed him telling him how unproffesional this was on his part, and how its his job to help a student if they're having problems understanding. he then emailed me back stating how I was childish and how in the "real world" I wouldn't be able to have someone to help me on things that I'm struggling with. To me this made no sense as this is COLLEGE and I have professors for a reason, and they're supposed to be able to help me as they know the material. I then spoke to my Advisor about it. She asked to see the emails so I sent them to her. I haven't heard back yet, but after all this, I went to the Learning commons to look for a tutor, and she couldn't even understand his problems, as most of the answers to the questions were incorrect! I then emailed him about these and he fixed them, but there were a few that took points off that I never caught. And these incorrect answers to questions weren't just on 2 questions, about 8 of the 20 questions on EVERY quiz he made, either made absolute no sense, or all the answers were wrong, and every time I'd have to take the time out and email him telling him what was wrong and why, and after a few quizzes, I decided to withdraw from the dumb class. I had to pay $270 and now I have to retake it this semester in order to finish my degree, but this time I'm doing it on campus with a much better professor. Awful isn't even a word to describe this guy. |
