Very funny! Hated class, but loved Dr. J!

Good teacher but nitpicky tests

Dr. Jorgensen is pretty fair altough his class can be rough going. He does diplay a genuine interest in his students although he can be very demanding.

great teacher...let's face it, chem's hard and he does a good job teaching it

I hate chem, but Dr. J has a good sense of humor and good stategery... ;)

I love chemistry. I liked the class. Although, exams were TOO hard for gen. chem.

I thought that Dr. J was a good teacher. I definately learned a lot of chemistry that I will be able to apply to my further eduacation.

in class dr. j is very intimidating. but when i went and saw him during his office hours he was very helful and nice. i learned alot from him and seemed to do fairly well on his tests.

He's a great teacher. He doesn't just lecture, he constantly challenges you to think and solve problems, so you reinforce/correct concepts. You need to study a bit every day to get the most out of class; 15 mins / day got me an A.

The key is to meet with him in his office hours. The classes are big, so get some personal time with him and run over your notes. You'll do well in the class, if you put in the time, enough said.

Hard class, tests, and alot of work. Lots of outside help. Meet with him outside of class and he will go over everything with you. Very quick when responding to ?s and grading tests.

Jorgensen is a tough professor but really cares about his students. It's not impossible to get an A in his class, in fact about 20% of the class gets As or A-s on his exams. I would recommend taking his class instead of any of the other chem professors'.

Dr. Jogensen wasn't a bad professor, he just had pretty hard exams. I was able to get an A in his class although I had to study a lot more than I ever have for his exams. If you study hard and do all of the work you will be fine in this class.

I don't know why so many people don't like this guy. He's actually really nice if you go to see him during office hours, and will do whatever he can to help you. His tests are ridiculously easy considering they're almost identical the tests he gave the year before (which you have access to online).

dr jorgensen is one of my favorite professors. he's so enthusiastic and makes the class interesting. the material is challenging, but he is willing to help and get to know as many of his students as possible. not to mention he dressed up as santa at our final and threw candy canes to everyone.

dr. j is one of the most helpful profs i have ever had! i would take his class again in an instant!

the class and tests can be hard, but he really requires you to rely on yourself. The "review sesions" can be frustraiting and I don't find them helpful but one on one he explains things really well. He also takes time you get to know you, so don't be surprised to hear your name sometime in class!

People need to give this guy a break. He's a fantastic teacher! He's also a really nice guy. I feel he's the second best teacher I've ever had at UT. Besides, he looks like Santa....gotta give him a break on those grounds alone.

Dr. Jorgensen isn't a bad teacher...It's just...you really have to have a good background of the material and be willing to put in a lot of work if you want to achieve a high grade, but it can be done!

He's the best Chemistry teacher around.

This guy knows his chemistry well and is pretty nice. I went to his office and he was very helpful. His tests are harder than the other Gen Chem teachers though and he gives an incredibly large amount of work to do in the form of chapter outlines, class outlines, text problems, online quizzes, online homework, etc.

I was very skeptical on taking him from the negtive stuff i heard..i ended up liking him alot. You can tell he has alota passion for chem..prolly the only one...its not an easy class..provides lecture outlines and alota clicker questions so it helps you stay with the material you just have to keep up with the hw and reading all the time...not 2 bad

Very good professor if you do the work. Keep up to date on everything and it isn't too hard to get an A

It is not a bad class as long as you keep up with work and try. The tests were normally not bad especially the math part. If you need help just visit him.

I liked him. Ya he's hard but its college, what did you expect? He gives you what you need to do well. He provides lecture outlines which really helps pin point the important concepts. It's a lot of work but you actually learn something in his class.

Great teacher! Goesw in depth and explain in class and with his lecture notes. He expects you to fill out the notes before class and ask questions in class. I would reccommed this teacher as long as you plan on attending class

Andy really knows what he's talking about, and if you go to class and pay attention, it's not that hard.

Jorgenson's class was much harder than it should have been. He went through the notes in class too quickly and often didn't bother to show how to work out the math problems. However, I've found that if you go to his office hours regularly, you will find that he is very helpful if you ask the right questions. I just wish he would do this in class!

Jorgensen is not as hard as everybody says he is. As long as you put enough time into comprehending the materials that is presented,you will do fine in the class. He is very attentive to blackboard making him very easy to reach and also encourages students to go to his office hours to ask him questions if they have any and answers them well.

Alright here we go as a pre-med/chem major I found myself thinking ha gen chem so easy. HA wrong its a hard subject,but if you study youll be golden. This prof is not as hard as everyone makes him to be just study, read and youll be fine. Hes a stern guy but if you sit in front rows and listen youll get at least a C. Fellow future doctors take him.

He is an alright professor who definitely knows what he is talking about. Gives quite a bit of online homework, which can be frustrating at times but just find people or email him. His tests can be tough sometimes really tricky so study a lot before. He gives you notes for class so fill in what you know that's in the book before attending class.

While this class is difficult, a good grade can be achieved. The tests require a lot of studying beforehand, but you can be successful if you REALLY WORK AT IT. Depending on how you learn, attending class might not help. It's not a class to take lightly. Always answers questions or tells you where to look if you're prompt.

Everyone saying that he is a "bad" professor is being unfair. He is difficult, not hard. There is a difference. Be prepared to read before class and study for exams. He is very clear on his policies and what to expect on exams. All questions on exams will come from homework and old exams so you can't really be surprised.

Homework is assigned every week. Tests are difficult and he likes to add trick questions so beware. Clicker points and writing assignments are essential to boost your grade. Offers extra credit for visiting speakers. Gives lecture outlines to follow in class. Difficult class and you need to do all your work and then some to get an A.

Jorgensen made this class challenging, but I learned a lot. He is very good about answering questions online and in class. Plus he tries to start his lectures with a little bit of chemistry humor which is appreciated.

Jorgiepoo is a great prof but a little tough, especially if you are taking him freshman year. He really knows his stuff but he can also be tough on you because of it. Be sure to do the past exams and you will do fine on the exams.

People don't like him because he expects work to be done outside of class. Show up to recitation and do ALEKS for an easy 200 points. He gives old exams which are almost identical to the exams we took. Chem 1 is a class that requires actual studying, which some people struggle to understand.

Dr. Jorgensen is an awesome professor. Highly intelligent and passionate about what he's teaching. He's flexible and understanding if you have issues that arise. I wish I could take more classes with him!

Absolutely loved Dr. J. His explanations were great and he always answered emails within minutes of sending them. He makes class fun to partake in and always shoots out random facts or fun little interjections. HIGHLY recommend him!! Great great professor

I dont know why everyone is hating on him, he's not that bad and kinda funny. He answers questions super fast if you email him and wants to work with you to get a good grade. The class itself is challenging and reading the book before class is super helpful.
