I advise u not to take his class!! Very unorganized. When he told his class that there was a test, everybody was confused because he have not taught us ANYTHING so how was that possible? I dropped his class because if I'm not learning anything in chemistry 1, then i am going to struggle in my next science class which would put me behind.

Dr. C is cool guy real nice teacher always happy and cheerful. He's an avg teacher due to the fact that most Orgo teachers aren't good. He takes examples right out the text book for the tests,so doing the examples in the chapters are a must. He cares little about Lab reports their 2 pages max. For the reactions in the chapters make flash cards.

The Nursing student that posted beneath me was a drama queen idiot. The rest of the class made fun of her when she wasn't there(which was most of the time)and it is scary that she is an RN. Your grade reflects the effort you put into the class. I took two other sciences classes, and one math and still passed with an A. Professor Crumpler is great.

I think Prof. Crumpler is great. The subject is EXTREMELY HARD. Especially Organic II. But he tries very hard to help and he is available for a lot of office hours. He teaches right out of the book and sometimes he makes you lost. But I really think it's the subject, he is OK. He says he Doesn't curve, but alot of people didn't expect A and got it.

I liked him very much as a person, but as far as the way the class was taught, I was lost...not everyone is straight out of high school and/or has a background in the physical sciences and I felt the delivery was not as thorough or clear as it should have been.

He gives no extra credit. Tough homework isn't graded. The only assessments besides the final are 4 tests, which are very tricky. Gives easy examples in class and throws tough material into the tests, then gets mad when students fail. But he has study sessions and is often around to help. Take full advantage of that if you want any hope in passing.

His test are extremely hard, and its not because he wants to prepare you for medical school because they are other good organic chem professors that prepare you for the mcat and are not as difficult as him. The reason why he makes his test so difficult is because he is so miserable with his life that he takes out his frustrations on his students.

NOTE: HE DOESN'T CURVE!

If you don't practice a lot at least once a week you can fail. He is sarcastic, and helps a lot with many questions you may have.

I believe that this professor is good for organic, but I don't believe he is the best option for General Chem 2. If you do decide to take him, all of his exams are cumulative meaning you are also being tested on Gen Chem 1 and all of the chapters before Gen Chem 2. The exams are very tricky and they are the majority of the grade so be careful.

Lets u use notecards on exam. Curved grading scale, relaxed lab reports. Really pushes the class to read the textbook. Exams are not impossible like many ppl claim it to be. If you can train urself to do the textbook problems, understand the concepts and actually read the book... you'll do fine. Provides old exams. U will gain better study habits

Crumpler is the best. I absolutely enjoyed coming into his class. Chem is already a tough subject & this class is NOT easy. But Professor Crumpler makes the days go by faster with all his jokes. He truly wants to see his students succeed. He is caring and will help you when you need it. Works off powerpoints (FYI) & gives lots of practice exams.

The class is made of him doing 50% of the work, teaching you the concepts in a simplistic, sarcastic manner, and the other 50% is the work you put into the class. If you don't read, do the work, and go to class, you will fail. He truly does care, but you need to put in the effort and the work.
