Doesnt teach all the information in the sections. expects you to learn on your own. He is really not that fair or consistent. He even has the nerve to talk and answer his phone in class! He doesnt even leave the room. 50 min class and has long exams that take 2 hrs to do. I would rather take a teacher that is hard and fair vs him.

Yes this professor is very tough.. but he is very fair when grading. I thought I was failing midway through the semester but ended up with a more than fair grade at the end.

Ok, I've written this before, but the reviews bad ones, specifically even the ones that didnt cross any rate my prof guidelines seem to disappear. Hes completely horrible he does give you credit for attempting in tests but the test material doesn't at all represent what's being taught or he crams too much which is nothing like classwork. hes awful.

Whoever mentioned him writing his own reviews, thank you. obviously he does to make him seem better. he loves hearing himself talk as well. its just better to avoid him and take him only if you have to, youll find better profs and people nicer who actually care. like this is comm college he makes it seem like rocket science. its not that deep.

quizzes are not what he claims will be on so whats even the point i wished i listened to the reviews. maybe he's better in labs but no way in lecture.

I'm going to speak about his hybrid class only; it's all over the place, and the resources he provides never prepare you for the in-person tests. It will hit you like a blow. I dont think he actually watches most the videos he puts up nor does he update it. Hybrid courses are supposed to be for people with work or are busy he makes it horrible.

you will not be seen, heard, or acknowledged. he simply doesnt care abt you and acts condescending. anyone but him is safe to take, the other reviews arent lying.

I've written this before, but it's nowhere to be found. Finally, more people are saying he writes his own reviews. I've read every single review of his, and I see his "high school students" writing reviews. Which is insane This is a review from Dec 18th 2013 "HE WAS MY HIGH SCHOOL CHEM TEACHER AND I WOULD TOTALLY TAKE EVERY CLASS." Investigate asap

I took his online chem course and I could say that this class is you learning at your own pace. Some of his tests were hard while others were doable. He gives you 3 tries on every assignment which I think is really fair. He is not a bad professor as the ratings make him seem. As long as you put in the effort he will help you !!

These ratings don't do Professor P justice. I came in with a low GPA and no expectations, and I'm glad I took the chance. You do have to put in the work, but he notices effort and wants you to succeed. Attend class, ask questions, use the resources he posts, and you can take this course with confidence. It's absolutely worth it.

Some of these reviews are so harsh, like yes his class IS challenging but it's a good kind of challenge where he pushes you to strive to be better. He helps you out A LOT (like a LOT) with your grade if you participate and show that you've tried your best all semester. Take him if you actually want to learn something. Plus he's really funny!

Honestly, don't let the ratings scare you. I went into this class stressed and unsure, but the professor ended up being great. You have to put in the work, but he really notices effort and wants you to do well. And towards the end of the semester, he helps you boost your grade. Like a REALLY BIG boost. Take the class with confidence. Youll be fine.

BEST Chem professor you can ask for! He explains lecture very thoroughly, answers your concerns clearly, provides plenty of resources to study from including recorded lectures, yt videos, worksheets, and 2 books (one of which is FREE!). +Bonus pts at the end. You'll have a great foundation on CHM if you take him. I'd recommend 100%, he's a genious!

Prof has a huge ego, and also clearly is trying to fabricate his reviews what do you mean theres like 5 good reviews which all have the same writing style all on the same day all saying basically the same thing? If you really want students to write good reviews about you actually start caring about students and be fair hello???

It's actually hilarious how he tries to coverup his reviews by piling good ones all in the same day. It's shameless and honestly baffling. It just shows how much his character is. I'm sure he finds it quite humorous while he types away making new reviews for the upcoming students who unfortunately take his class. You will end up doing way too much.

A review mentioned that 'free online textbook' is irrelevant if the teaching is poor. That makes me believe he wrote it. Rather than click-clacking at your keyboard change your unfair tests or actually prepare students for your test.
