Taking Dr.Ogar one of the best decisions I have ever done in my time at Pierce College. He is every thorough in teaching and finds a way to explain a lesson that you would easily understand. He gives curves in tests and they aren't that hard as long as you study. The best part is,this guy has a GREAT sense of humor. Take him,dont think twice

Dr. Ogar is definately an exquisite professor in that he gets his job done while maintaining a calm demeanor among the class. Quizzes simply prepare you for the exams and don't count too much towards your grade. Definately read the book and use lecture notes to study, but also go to office hours.

Okay... Dr. Ogar is a great teacher, but when it comes to the tests, things can get a bit messy. When calculations are involved, its fairly straightforward, but the "easy" questions that don't involve calculations tend to throw people off. If you think you can overcome the tricks on the tests, hes a great professor. Thank you Dr. Ogar!

Ogar is the best teacher ever. I was never interested in Chemistry. And I'm still not interested in Chemistry. But I loved going to his class. You ask why? Because he's freakin' HILARIOUS! His lectures are well structured and like a stand up comedy act. And He's very approachable when you're having trouble. I'm so glad I took 51 with him!

Dr Ogar is the kind of teacher that should be memorialized. He is truly kind and entertaining. He wants his students to do well and doesn't mind creating funny stories and mnemonics to make sure they do. His office hours are like group tutor sessions. Good person, great teacher - the best. I was afraid of chemistry going in and now I love it.

Ogar is a clear during lectures and lab. He's really helpful and always willing to answer any questions. There's online homework weekly but it's easy and helps with understanding! I think he's a little boring during lectures but he's really nice and goes over each concept slowly so everyone can follow! Curves exams if a lot of people does poorly!

I loved Ogar. He was great. Made the class very interesting and fun. Just because his test are multiple choice, it doesn't mean it will be easy. In fact, it even makes it harder to get an A. The only problem is that he jokes way too much. It makes the class less serious than it should be. Other than that he's the best Gen. Chem teacher Pierce got.

This guy knows how to teach! things were clear. stories were told to help us memorize things we would use in class constantly. he made chemistry interesting enough to where i was thinking maybe this chemistry stuff is for me. i still know HAMBAZAN! because it stuck so well. overall 10/10 would take again.

I don't have a grade yet but I don't think I passed the class. If you're someone who struggles with chemistry or math this is not the class for you. His lectures are messy and they don't match the workshops, Aleks, and tests. He also gives you lots of Aleks topics. He is a nice guy but a horrible teacher.

Lots of homework

First time I actually and FINALLY understood chemistry. If you actually study, pace yourself on the Aleks homework, and focus in class, you'll be fine. Professor clearly explains material.

He isn't everyone's cup of tea because of his humor and he does single people out. I enjoyed him most days and he relates chemistry to the real world. He curves quizzes and tests but is ALEKS heavy. Participation isn't required but I don't advise skipping. He is caring if you're honest and prove to him you want to work hard for a good grade.

George Ogar is the OG, this man is the best, I literally love this guy to death. He changed my life, such a dope professor. The course is definitely rather difficult but Dr.Ogar is real and understands what the struggle is like for students. He curves generously and is hella down to earth. I miss this man so much. Bro was so chill, the best. - Keon

His exams are tough, and it is difficult to predict what will be on them. His due dates for Aleks assignment are inaccurate and he will push them before the assignment is due. His curves on exams and quizzes tend to be very high to make up for low grades people get on them. You end up teaching yourself more at home due to confusing lectures.

he doesn't power trip, he isn't obsessed with catching cheaters but there isn't much feedback or posted grades for completed assignments/tests. lectures are entertaining but they're intros to topics that'll be on exams/tests. he seems to be caring but because its chem 101 there's an expectation of where our understanding of the subject should be.

No drops. No ec. Curves sometimes. Teaches his class on autopilot. Aleks obj based on previous semesters and hed rather not deal with fixing it. Sense of humor is cartoonishly problematic/uncomfortable. Singles people out and is insensitive. Not helpful when you ask for questions if he does like you. Belittles you if he doesn't. Rating is inflated.

prof. ogar is a very funny and intelligent professor. he explains topics thoroughly and fairly well. his lessons are very structured, very aleks heavy (around 110 total topics that need to be mastered). overall great teacher and his office hours are very helpful

One of the most inappropriate professors I've had. Incredibly vague about grading and does not update Canvas. There are a few exams and quizzes before each exam. Some handouts are done during the workshop once a week. Be prepared to teach yourself the material and be insulted along the way.

Professor Ogar's class is a challenge, but engaging with the structured system pays off. The ALEKS platform is key, and while the lectures can be hit-or-miss, using unstuckstudy ai alongside the free textbook helps solidify the concepts. Worth the effort for the generous curves.
