great professor i love his way of teaching.

The class is relatively difficult but he really enjoys teaching and is very helpful.

I took O. chem. with him. It was an extremely difficult class but he had strong interest and high understanding of the subject. Always started class and hard subjects with a smile. Tests were difficult, but predictable according to syllabus and lecture material. Was helpful and had a general interest in the progress of his students Very friendly

Excellent professor. Clearly cares about teaching the material as well as it can be taught. This class is not easy, but it shouldn't be. Had to withdraw from class but would take this prof. again if I could.

A wonderful professor who gets students interested and challenges them.

I really struggled at times, but Chemistry just isn't my "thing". That being said, Prof. Clark was a really good instructor. I learned chemistry in spite of myself. He definitely knows his stuff; more than willing to help so long as you do the work and don't waste his time. Do your homework, follow syllabus.

One of the best teachers I have ever had. If you don't want to put the effort into the course, you will probably not enjoy his class (that's your own fault). Almost always willing to help and will make you think instead of just giving what you want (important). Tests are really hard but if you study like you should, you'll do fine! ;)

He's not only the best professor you can ever have but he's also your friend! He will go above and beyond the call of duty to teach you the mysteries of resonance. Don't fret, everything will be t-butyl OK. However, if you are a toad who wants to get by with minimal amounts of work then yes take this class because you will fail and be culled :)

He is a very strict professor but is good at what he does. He does expect you to work hard and put in an effort and can be slightly condescending if you don't. Overall, he is a good professor, but be prepared to work hard.

You can't really say a professor is bad when they would literally go over the problems with you on their own time as much as you wanted. Dr. Clark will do just about anything to help you, but his style is more of a "help you help yourself" type rather than just give the answers. Assigns too much homework. Chem is generally a difficult class.

Dr. Clark is one of those professors who really tries to prep his students for coursework beyond HACC. After his class, I started in a doctorate program and my Org chem knowledge was on par with my peers from Berkley. Work hard, go for help if you need it and he will go above and beyond to make sure you succeed, not just now but later.

Dr. Clark is great. He gives a lot of h/w but the h/w is for your own good because lets face it, Chem is tough. He is very helpful inside and out of class, but he won't just give you an answer, he will help you figure it out. If you study, attend class & lab, & do the h/w you will be fine. A lot of the problems he does in class are on the tests.

Hard but fair. You will have to study. You will have to do homework. He is willing to help you outside of class. He will not tell you the answers but will help you figure them out. Outstanding Professor! College is not a free ride work hard and you will learn.

I really enjoyed this class and learned a lot.Nothing is for free in life and if you want to succeed in this class you have to study. Chemistry is not easy and needs practise. As more you are willing to do as better you will be. I liked the class and I think that Professor Clark is very fair when it comes to test grading.

Dr.Clark takes chemistry very seriously and expects a lot out of his students.If you do not take it seriously, or if you are just looking to get through the class to fulfill a requirement and don't care about the subject, then don't take him.His exams are difficult and require a lot of preparation to do well.He will help you out in any way he can.

I'm taking this course now. In order to succeed, read the chapter covered before class. The book is a great resource and lecture clarifies any questions that may arise in your studies. Homework and studying takes about 3-5 hours every night. If you take your academics seriously, you will succeed! Prof is humorous, intelligent, and attractive.

According to the prof. this is pretty much a self-teaching course. For those of us who are not planning on being Chemistry majors, it is a tough subject to self teach. He is very fast-paced and expects you to read and study ahead so he can quiz you on new material rather than teach it to you. If you are into self-teaching this is your prof.

Dr. Clark expects a lot from his students. You won't succeed in his classes without putting in a lot of work at home and reading the chapters before class. But if you actually do the work you will learn SO much from him. Overall, his are some of the best quality classes that I've ever taken.

He has high expectations for his students, and really expects you to have read the chapter before coming to lecture. You will do well in the class if you keep up with the reading. His lectures can be a bit confusing, but he is more than willing to clarify if you come see him during his office hours. Expect to put a lot of time into this class.

Dr. Clark is an excellent Professor. Don't listen to what these other reviewers have to say. If you're not prepared to do the work to pass the class, you shouldn't take this Professor (or maybe shouldn't be in college at all?) He expects you to read the chapter before class so he doesn't have to spoon feed you the lesson. Do that,you're golden.

Great prof! Well organized, patient, and enthusiatic! Dr. Clark's HIGH expectations are on par with profs at the university level. Make the effort to read the text, do the homeworklabs, and pay attention you'll do just fine. On exams, he is generous with partial credit - show your work. His course will challenge you but you will learn so much!!

Professor Clark is a fine example of what college level instruction should be like. He is enthusiastic and masterful with regard to chemistry. You want someone like him to help make your investment in your education worth while. He exercises your study ethic with thorough use of the text book and online tools. Very supportive of his students too.

Toughest classes Ive had at hacc. Most rewarding too. PUT TIME IN BEFORE EVERY CLASS! You will come out the other end as a better student. I truly believe no prof cares about the (overall) success of their students as does Dr Clark. If you are willing to work, he will help you. Challenge yourself! Five chili peppers ;)

Organic is really hard, but Dr. Clark is a solid professor. He elaborates on the stuff he assigns as homework. Lots of work, but that's no matter where you take it, or with whom.

Dr. Clark's class is hard, so be prepared to work. If you are having trouble he will always go the extra mile to help you as long as you are willing to do the work. He's one of the best professors that I've ever had. As long as you do the work and ask questions, you'll do well.

Clark's a good guy & a good professor. He very specifically gives you everything you need to be successful. If you take his advice for granted, you are making it worlds harder on yourself. I recommend taking this class with only one other class; or stupidly easy ones. Read and do homework & you'll look like a pro in class. Takes practice2learn.

This guy is great. He is a strict professor, and many students hate him for that. If one does his part in this class, he will, most certainly, succeed.

At the beginning of this course, Dr. Clark strictly told my class not to resist his instruction. It was a must to take the time to learn a lot of the material on our own. People don't want to put college level effort into a college level course. Having high expectations for students shouldn't be frowned upon. Put in the effort to succeed.

Beginning of class he was specific as to what was expected of us. He treats everyone fairly and his grading reflects on that. He does curve a lot of our quizzes and is willing to help any way he can. It is a really tough class but if you do the work then you will be fine. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TUTORS!!

Definitely a tough grader, but as long as you take the time to read the material and ask questions to ensure you understand, then you should do fine. Very detailed grading criteria and there is a chance to correct exam mistakes to earn a higher grade on exams.

Organic is hard, science is hard, get over it. I got As in both semesters. Prof did an amazing job of guiding us to develop skills needed for harder courses. I didn't pay attention in class and rarely went, but I did go to office hours, read a different text, did practice problems to make sure I had an UNDERSTANDING of the subject.

Daniels expects that you have done your homework before class, and know the material. He will ask you obvious questions which, if you didn't do the reading, will make you feel dumb. That is NOT his intention. He means well, but can come off at times as arrogant (he is NOT arrogant). If you want an easy A, drop. If you really want to learn, take it.

Dr. Clark is an absolute legend of a professor. He worked out days so that would could come in and study for the ACS final with him. If chemistry does not come easily too you be prepared to see him outside of class with MEANINGFUL questions. Make sure you beware of the daily pop quizzes.

Dr. Clark is a great teacher if you really want to learn all about organic chemistry and feel great about it because you get to do a lot of work and feel proud that you got those hard concepts. I learned a lot from him that I will always consider valuable. This was the hardest undergrad class but it is worth it.

Tough professor, dry humor, otherwise a great teacher. Has reasonable expectations, is prepared to help if you have shown an honest independent attempt at tackling material (you are an adult learner right?) PRIOR to reaching out for help.

Professor Clark is wonderful. Yes, he will call on you randomly but it was a great way to learn. He cares a lot about the subject and is always willing to help. He tries to make as many office hours as he possibly can to be available for you. He uses the textbook, which I found helpful. He is a really nice professor. If you need help just ask!

Professor Clark was amazing to have for an instructor. He can be disorganized and even tough at times but his overall goal is for you to learn chemistry and to succeed, both of which he did for me. I was so close to dropping his class after getting an F for my midterm, but he encouraged me to stick with it, to keep going, and it paid off.

Organic chemistry can be a challenging class, but Dr. Clark certainly made it feel easier. There's a lot of homework, but most of it is extra credit (his "pop quizzes" are extra credit, too). He also grades all of his tests on a decent curve. He genuinely cares about his students, and is always there to help as long as you make an honest effort.

You have to read the textbook to get all you can out of this class. Yes, you should read the chapter and the reading assignments do help a bit. Homework is designed as a practice test. Have a basic understanding of the topic before the lecture so you can ask great questions to deepen your understanding. Very sweet, and passionate about the subject.

Dr. Clark is a very good teacher who is always adapting his classes based on what helps students the most. Lots of homework, but almost none of it is for credit. As long as you're trying your best, he'll go above and beyond to help you do well. Fair grader; often drops and/or replaces grades whenever possible in order to give a better final grade.

Professor Clark comes off a tad dry and bland but he really does care about his students and his classes. He is willing to answer any questions but will often ask YOU questions to guide you towards the answer you are looking for. Do not let other reviews sway you too much. If you are a competent student who is willing to put in the work you're ok
