Professor Jasperse is honestly one of the best teachers I have ever had. I was an online student an had some questions about the class and called the number he listed on his emails. He picked up and spent about half an hour answering all of my questions and making sure I understood it. I wish more of my professors could be like him. Good dude.

Actually felt this class was easier to succeed in than my general chem class (had a terrible professor). Dr. Jasperse is awesome! Gives you all the material you need to succeed. If you study, you can definitely get a solid grade. TIP: instead of buying the book he lists, buy "Organic Chemistry for Dummies"-honestly helped make the material easier.

He does give his students all of the necessary tools they need in order to be successful in his class. What made things difficult is that he does not offer any extra credit, nor does he curve the tests. His grades do rely heavily on what students get on all the tests, as the homework and quizzes are not worth a lot for his class. YOU HAVE TO STUDY.

This professor was compassionate towards his students and even let me postpone my final over the weekend to fit in more studying. His exams are hard but nowhere near as hard as other organic chemistry courses I have taken, but they are by no means a pushover unless you hit the books hard! I didn't use the textbook as his lectures were astounding.

I retook OChem 2 over the summer, and I'm so glad I found this course! Professor Jasperse gives clear, concise lectures (with detailed notes!) as well as plenty of practice problems and exams to help study. Testing times were very flexible, and I received immediate feedback after each one! This is one of the best online o-chem courses available!

Dr. J is awesome! I took o-chem 2 online over the summer as an NDSU student. I ended up getting an A in this class as the lectures and notes were great! O-chem is NOT easy, but Dr. J makes it possible to do well. He is very caring and flexible and really wants his students to succeed! I 100% recommend taking this class with him!

Dr. Jasperse is one of the best professors I've had. He provides all the resources necessary to succeed in a very difficult course, and if the time is put in to really understand the material you will do well. The textbook is not necessary for all of the chapters, but it is helpful to get another perspective on challenging topics.

I would definitely recommend him for any student looking to take this online course or in general. The course requires time and effort outside of lectures but I would enjoy having him as a prof. again.

I took this class during the short summer and my grade was 91.50, but if you take it during fall or spring, you have more time to pass it by better grade if you follow your instructor. Dr. Jasperse first reviewed the whole lecture, then started the details. He has practice questions for each lecture, and He also has a few versions for each test

Awesome professor. Very down to earth and explains things very well. Labs have prelab videos that essentially tell you the entire lab. Online assignments and quizzes are the homework. Tests are hard. Class is very time consuming in order to understand the material but all O chem classes are like that.

Professor Craig is so willing to work with you, about anything. Need to reschedule a test? Not a problem. You're going to miss a class? No problem, he has recorded lectures on the website. His exams are difficult, as the content is difficult, but he gives you numerous materials to study from. If you use these materials, you will do fine!

I don't think you will EVER find a professor like Dr. Jasperse. I have never experienced the level of flexibility and kindness that Dr. Jasperse had to offer until I took his organic chemistry 2 course. He truly let the course mold to my needs and I couldn't be more grateful. You will have to work hard, but it was so worth it. A+ for Dr. J!

To summarize: a truly incredible and gracious professor. Online course is completely self-paced. Tests are easy to schedule and straightforward as he gives a clear outline of what is on it-even provides practice tests. Lecture provides plenty of examples. Summer semester has no final exam. He genuinely does his best to help you be successful. 10/10

He truly does his best to help you at every opportunity from making test outlines including examples of previous tests, providing plenty of practice questions so you don't need to buy a book, scheduling tests around your schedule, allowing you to self-pace the class or even extend if you desperately need more time...

If you listen to his lectures and practice all the homework, his test is not hard then.
