I loved Dr. Untersee! He truly is a super kind and sincere man, and cares about his students a lot, I see no evil in his soul.BIOL4701 2025-05-19 18:49:41 +0000 UTC
Tough grader. Classes were useless.BIOL2311 2010-10-01 11:58:39 +0000 UTC
This class was the most useless class and a waste of money. He gives you little to no feed back and waits till the last minute to give you feed back and expects a revised version of your draft the next day. This guy is a total tool and had no right teaching college students, he should be working with children in pre-school.BIOLO4701 2010-05-11 18:04:00 +0000 UTC
Capstone, he grades hard in the beginning but just go up to him in class and he will help you outBIO501 2009-08-05 11:33:18 +0000 UTC
I think the Biology department got this guy to single handedly revive the capstone class to something useful. You spend the entire semester writing a grant proposal, deadlines can be a bit too fast at times, but other than that it was actually remotely fun.BIOU701 2009-04-22 14:46:32 +0000 UTC
He makes it very clear at the start of the semester that because he knows this class is a Senior Capstone course, he is not trying to prevent anyone from graduating. In fact his course makes it extremely easy to get another A on your transcript and raise your GPABIOL4701 2014-11-11 07:52:07 +0000 UTC
Very good class, really easy. Seriously, for two classes we learned how to write sentences for our draft. Take work to do because it is sometimes really boring. If you are confused Untersee is really helpful and provides good rubrics for how you are going to be graded. Take this class with him!BIOU701 2008-12-09 17:19:39 +0000 UTC
Most of the work is done in the end of the class.You do not receieve feedback with sufficient time to complete next required task. In fact, when the semester ended, I received 2 grades. He understands and will grant extension if necessary. He is a fair graderBIOL4701 2011-01-04 11:43:09 +0000 UTC
Professor, Untersee Is one of the most helpful professors I have ever had. He makes capstone class very efficient, and interesting. He always provides guidelines for every assignment and goes out of his way to help you out. I really recommend him! You might think Ohhhh nooo capstone...... But with a professor like Untersee you will love capstone!!!BIOU701 2008-10-31 19:48:04 +0000 UTC
