Horrible and unclear.. DONT TAKE HIM

Material is incredibly difficult to learn, and especially when you can barely understand a word he is saying. He uses an overhead projector and frequently makes mistakes, leaving a jumbled mess on the screen. Easily the worst professor I've had at Drexel. Does not curve AT ALL, tests are 25 minutes and crazy hard.

Horrible lecturer. I attended every lecture and learned absolutely nothing from him. All of the learning had to be done from the book. Designs horrible tests; barely tests on the tough, real, and applicable concepts. Instead, he selects trivial facts that only appear in 1-2 sentences from the book. Lazy test only based on 20 questions.

Awful professor. I learned more from the textbook than I did from his lectures. His lectures are on one big word document that he projects on the screen, and he will randomly whip back and forth through it. His wording doesnt make any sense. More mistakes than actual words in his lecture documents. Worst professor Ive ever had ever.

Wambsgans is a genuinely nice guy. But his lectures are awful, and he's the only reason this class was hard for me. Doesn't actually specify what you need to know, so I had to read the entire textbook to be ready. His lecture notes are full of typos and chemistry errors, and I could never actually understand anything he said. 0/10 do not recommend

He needs to learn to teach the material to the students, not read it at the students. He should not blame the students for "not studying enough" when the class average for a test was a 50. Hard to understand and will make you fall asleep with how bad of a lecturer he is. This man is lucky he has tenure. You'll be fine in basic chem but not orgo

Due to online learning, I had to move back home to the west coast. We had a midterm scheduled for 8 am EST and I asked if I could take it any other time because I would have to wake up at 5 am and he said no lmfao. He's a greaaaaaat guyyyyyyyy hahahah

Cannot understand him. Relied completely on the textbook. Does not respond to emails in a timely manner. If you get him for an online course, switch out immediately.

Professor Wambsgans falls asleep lecturing. HIs class does not make any sense at all unless you are a Chem major. His lectures are on these longgggg word/ disorganized documents which are hard to follow. Save yourself.

Worst lectures I've ever attended. We asked to see what we got wrong on exams, to which he responded that he didn't know how, so no. Truly unforgiving and technologically-challenged. Prepare to teach yourself. Do not take him, especially for online classes.

Lectures were asynchronous and they were basically him just reading what he had on his doc. I couldn't even listen to his lectures because it was difficult to understand what he was saying and there was no point since I can read my self. Just take notes and study them if you have to take him. If not, avoid at all costs.

He means well, but the lectures are impossible to sit through. I read the textbook chapters and did fine on the tests. Not really approachable in the office hours tho. I dont think he knows how to work technology honestly. Worst thing is the grading Exam 1-25%, Exam 2-25%, and Final- 50%. Mess up on a test, and you're done.

He is so unorganized and not helpful at all. He never shows up to exams on time and writes his questions last minute (he makes the exam start late while he is still writing questions) You dont learn anything from the lectures so I would definitely avoid this professor.

I had Professor Wambsgans for CHEM 101. A very nice man, but nice does not qualify your ability to teach. Lectures were unorganized and he was always late to our exams. Beware his emails and test questions, as well. Uses 6 fonts and 5 colors, so his messages are nearly illegible. I'd recommend just taking notes from textbook instead of lectures.

This is the worst professor I have ever had. He doesnt understand basic technology & his lectures are extremely unhelpful, & make the material more confusing. Paying tuition to have him as a professor is a waste because u will be teaching urself. He doesnt think about students having other courses or lives outside his class. Never take his class.

Worst professor ever!!

First off, this guy is an ibn Haram. He doesnt give any assignments and its straight test based grades. Doesnt make anything clear. During lectures had you confused. All students around me dont even know whats goin on. Doesnt try to give practice problems. Even recitations are pointless. I honestly gave him a 1 because the 0 isnt available

horrible professor didn't learn anything in that class. Should not be a professor at Drexel University and should retire asap.

This professor cannot speak correctly, everything he said is hard to understand or nearly impossible, to know what he is saying. His slides are awful, with many typos and he just uses his mouse to high words/equations on the slides. He did not bother to do anything on the board itself, rather than letting us read the whole doc by ourselves.

Honestly, the lectures were pretty useless. The textbook is far more helpful for understanding anything in this class. The slides he shows don't make any sense and are riddled with errors. I can't understand what he's saying. I had him online for CHEM111 and in person for CHEM112, but it doesn't get better. It's only exam grades and he's often late

I had him for chem111 and it was the worse. I did not go to class and taught myself chemistry from the slides he provided. The book was pointless. The only things that are grader are three exams.

DO NOT TAKE HIM. He honestly doesnt care if you pass or fail. He grades very slow; so youd never know if you were passing the class or not.. and he gets smart & does not reply to emails in a timely manner .

This is the worst professor in the history of Professors. If you expect to learn do not take this class. His notes and lectures are useless because it is almost impossible to understand him. It is finals week and I still don't know what grade I got on any of the labs so I have no idea what grade I will finish with.

HORRIBLE>>>>>>>> A whole mess, prepare to teach yourself, you will learn more from Math Tutor that's who I use, this was a online class that is A Sync .... your graded by 3 exams (20 points each) and the finals (40 points each) he's boring, takes very long to grade test.....RUNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

I went to two lectures, and there were maybe 10 people in the class when there were 200 people in his course. This is because you can't understand what he says and his notes are extremely confusing. Try your best to avoid him and if you have to take him, then look at the other professor's notes instead and you'll have to teach yourself everything.

Literally the worst professor. Hes terrible, hes a thousand years old, you cant understand what hes saying, you will fall asleep in his lecture and he reads from a script.

He only have three assignments. His lectures will put you to sleep. You will have to read the entire textbook to understand anything. The only people saying nice things were people that had him 20 years ago when he was still at a decent teaching age.

This man has absolutely no business teaching anyone anything. I could teach this class better I'm only taking it bc its required for my major.

This man has no business teaching ANYTHING. I could have taught it better; I'm literally only taking this bc its a required course.

He has no business teaching. I can imagine he would have been good about 50 years ago, but it's time for him to retire. You are lucky if you understand a single word he says. He doesn't answer questions clearly. I basically had to teach myself the course via textbook. Good luck.

If I could choose between taking a wambsgans class again and having a stroke, I would choose the stroke.

If you have the option to take the same class with another professor for a different term, please do!! Avoid him at all costs if you can. His lectures are so confusing and not helpful at all. Not to mention, you cant understand what hes saying half the time. This is probably the worst class I've taken at drexel. Dont take him!!!!

Is a cute old man but a horrible teacher. His speech is very garbled, I cannot understand what words he says, and he seems confused about what he is teaching. He is very unclear about what will be on exams, his exams are formatted horribly. In his labs he never knows what is happening and is no help whatsoever. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!

avoid

A very unengaging professor. It was hard to hear what he was saying often, and is just not tech-savvy at all. If you can somehow avoid having him as a professor, do so. In contrast, his exams were all multiple-choice and relatively easy. If you do your studying, you will pass.

Poor dude has no idea how to use a computer. He's barely audible in his lectures, and basically just reads off a note sheet of topics for an hour or so and falls half asleep a few times in between. If the word senile was a person I would imagine it would look something like this guy.

Literally the worst professor I have ever had. He always seems confused. Lecture slides and exams are formatted horribly. Hlaf the time I don't think he even knows what he is talking about

Dont take

Very very very very bad. His notes are the worst I've ever seen. I have no clue what he is doing.

Horrible professor. Tests are "easy" as they are based entirely on his notes, however his notes are full of errors and are mostly incomprehensible / illegible. Retire please.

Notes are unreadable as he does mechanisms on a word doc only using a mouse pad. Doesn't know how to use technology. Goes on rants during lectures that are essentially useless. Format of exams are difficult to decipher, can't tell where one question ends and another begins. Rude to students for not doing good on exams when hes a terrible teacher

You will regret taking this class. This class taught me self-discipline because this professor sadly cannot teach. You're better off learning from YouTube (Chad's Prep) than trying to decipher his notes which are riddled with an assortment of typos and different fonts and colors.

Orgo 2 is already a hard class on its own, but having Wambsgans makes it 10x more difficult. His lectures are long and impossible to understand. He gets sidetracked often and isn't good with technology. The only way I survived was by reading the textbook and watching yt videos to decipher his "lecture notes" which were a mess of disorganized words.

good luck, you'll need it
