I think that Dr.Cross is a really good teacher. All of his quizes and midterms were straightforward and not tricky.

Dr. Cross is a good teacher. He is very nice. and he is kinda cute too!

Just gotta say first - hes tooootally hot. Makes going to lecture so enjoyable. Best organic chem teacher EVER at temple. I hate this class with a passion and I took it 3x but out of all the profs I had hes the only one that made me actually understand the material well enough to learn it. Hes your best chance to pass this course I promise you.

This man can actually TEACH. His tests and quizzes are not too bad, just do homework problems and GO TO LECTURE. He is also very helpful.

he's a great professor and he knows his material. if you want to pass organic, he's the professor to take.

Organic is one of the HARDEST classes, but Dr Cross is a very good teacher..compared to the other professors, he is the easiest! You still have to work extremely hard & do all the exercise problems, but as far as all the other professors at Temple..Cross is the best choice. His quizes and tests are practically out of the book, if not very similar!

he is very helpful, cute, and fair. tests are fair. u still have to study...but what do u expect, it's organic chemistry!

If you have an option to take this prof. You should def. take this guy. He will go out of his way to help you to understand the subject since it is impossible. I failed (dont take Pzreslawski) and then retook it with Cross and got a B-. He is very understanding and is a GREAT org. chem prof. TAKE HIM

If you need to take organic chem. take him, he's a great prof, plus he's unbelievably hot, so he's great to look at!

idk wat ppl w/neg. comments are talkin abt... this guy makes OChem. seem like cake-walk... im NOT the smartest person in the world but he def. made is easy he knows his material and he knows how to teach... I GUARANTEE YOU if u take him over other teachers u will pass with a better grade.. his tests and quizes are RIGHT OUT OF THE HOMEWORK problems

good and fair professor

Finally i had a teacher who can teach. organic chemistry is not an easy to teach for teachers and its not easy for students to understand but he makes it seem logical! my advice: go to his lectures EVERYTIME coz even if u dont read ur chapters on day to day basis his lectures will def help u in the long run. and use his looks as a motivation to go!

By far the best Chem. teacher ever..his tests are a cakewalk as long as u do the HW..and yea he goes slower than other teachers..but why is that a bad thing in OChem? He wants u to understand the material and do well in his class.. u do ur work and put in the time..its very easy to get an A in his class...

I had him for Ochem 121&122 n hes a great teacher.Orgo is NOT easy!but Cross goes slow enough and trys to make sure everyone understands.DO THE HOMEWORK, may seem like alot, but will help you in the long run.Go to lecture, he knows who is there every day.Go to his office hours n ask questions, this will show him that u r trying-he'll be easier on u

He knows how to teach Organic.. makes u want to learn and he explains things good and as long as u pay attention in lecture u should know wat to expect on the test.. goes slower than the other teacher so its not as difficult to keep up..his tests are not hard as long as u do ALL of the HW problems..

Dr. Cross is the best science prof. I have ever seen at Temple University. Organic Chemistry is hard no matter who you have. However he will do anything to help you do well and he makes sure you understand the material, you still need to work hard though.

AWESOME prof. Organic chem is hard as it is but he does a great job of breaking the material down so you understand the concepts. Offered extra credit and bonus questions for a chance to get more points too. You need to work your butt off but if he sees this he will make sure you do well. Sense of humor and sooo hott too!

He is good teacher, inspires other people to study chemistry. Make organic chem alot easier to understand, quiz and tests are fair, you will hit the avg no matter what (if you study good), if you can't pass his course may be you should change the major.

great teacher. go to class every day. His exams are full of mechanisms. He loves curly arrows. he would go over them in class. so it is not so bad during exams. he is helpful if you like to do something in chem. in that he will point you in right direction. Plus he got this amazingg british accent and handsome.

Cross is a nice professor, he literally knocks the e- transfer foundation, which is fundamental to appreciate orgo and biochem, into ur brain!! His tests and quizzes are difficult but if you understand the materials, you will be good for his class. If u only want to memorize every orgo mechanisms that will just blow ur brain out from ur scalp!!=)

Dr. Cross was extremely helpful during this semester. He is ALWAYS available for extra help and wants to see his students to well. Our class average was a B. He is dedicated to helping YOU so get to know him! He is not an easy grader but does give lots of partial credit. Study your ass off, go for help (even if you know it) and you'll do well.

Dr Cross is the best orgo teacher Temple University Has. He cares about his students and takes the time personally to help everyone understand. He is helpful especially after class during office hours, a great teacher and I only wish I had him for all my chemistry classes. If you want to pass orgo with a great grade he is the one to take.

i'm gonna say the direct facts here. dr. cross is very helpful i must admit but he does have hard exams, does not curve, is helpful in office hours, gives bonus points on exams but grades them strictly because they are bonus. really do the pract tests b/c they look just like his real exams.buss ur but studyig and u should make it, B here, A- orgo 1

The best organic chemistry teacher. Im going to be honest, he's hard and his test are hard. But he's one of the best teacher's I have ever had. Got a A- in orgo 1 with a curve, and A in orgo 2 without a curve. He was harder but a better teacher. I might actually remember what he taught. If you dont know the answer, guess resonance lol

made sense when that useless textbook made absolutely no sense. very helpful and honest. tests are challenging, as they should be. i struggled but with a good study group you can do well. he also made everyone laugh even when we felt like crying!

His powerpoint are straight from the textbook so just read ur textbook. the only good thing about him is that he does really good examples..besides tat he is ok.

dr.cross is extremely helpful and a decent teacher..i wouldnt say his tests are all that easy..come prepared to class and READ THE TEXTBOOK!! ppl say that he doesnt curve..but honestly you will be fine...just keep on going to him for help and he'll know you are trying and he will definately be there to help you..

Organic is a difficult subject but Cross is very clear with explanations make makes it quite understandable. I think he is the best professor at temple.

He's a good guy and wants people do well. The British accent makes switching to another prof for orgo 2 weird. He'll def help if you're struggling though, and explains things very thoroughly. He loves examples and does about a dozen per class. Good guy, I'm taking him for orgo 2 next...

Prof. Cross is a great teacher and I recommend him over any other Orgo Profs. He is very fair and will spend time discussing any problems that you have with classwork or with a specific recitation instructor. Thanks Dr. Cross!

great teacher. great accent. great looks too

extremely attractive and intelligent. hes always available in his office to help

Cross is a great guy, and he really does care that his students do well, and will help you whatever way he can. He's more than willing to help and is available in his office for hours after lecture. His tests are no picnic, and revolve heavily around curly arrow mechanisms and synthesis of organic compounds. KNOW your reagents and their effects!

smokin fox.. HOWEVER, he isnt the most lenient on his tests and quizzes. his tests are quite easy but he doesnt hand out partial credit like andrade or flemming do.. hes just about the best orgo teacher on the planet though

If you come to his office to ask him stupid questions that you would know if you attended class and did the homework, then he will DEF talk down to you. If you preach about how you want to get into med school but youre bombing his orgo class and you have 3.0 gpa then he'll def talk down to you too. If youre legit, then he'll be your best friend.

Ignore the negative comments b/c Cross is an awesome professor. I came into this class thinking that I was going to fail b/c I had heard so many stories. I ended up getting an A! I often went to his office and he helped me tremendously. His exams are rather difficult but if you read the book and pay close attention during lecture, you'll be fine!

Great professor. Enough said. You'll understand when you have him.

The way he grades, I'll admit, is very harsh. However, he is very good at teaching the material! He's not the best but he's definitely a good professor. Don't be too discouraged by the thought of taking organic chemistry. Just don't be stupid by coming to his office hours asking questions about something you should've known weeks before.

i dunno but I think the latest negative reviews were sent in by the same person, so don't let them give you any preconceived notions about him. of course there will be some people who'll complain about him! i on the otherhand thought he was just okay. orgo is a tough subject but i was able to get a B+ with no problem.

Not only did I like his class, I liked the way he looked! He's pretty good looking! Anyway, he taught the stuff pretty well but you definitely want to read the book so you won't get completely lost. Exams were a little bit on the difficult side and he did grade harshly but the curve helped.

i think that hes a pretty good professor. i took orgo 1 during summer I and thought it wasnt too hard. he taught the stuff pretty well and everything on the exams were pretty straight forward. im a pretty sucky student (got a C+ in gen chem)but i ended up with an A in his class. Just pay attention. He sucks with partial credits though.

Dr. Cross is the best teacher ever.....I loved going to his lecture...He is very helpful and very hot too.

This class in itself is very hard. Dr. cross is one of the best teachers in this subject. you still need to work hard no matter what orgo teacher you get. He gives you extra credit which is a plus. Make sure you read over everything and do the HW

I think Dr. Cross is a great professor who knows the subject well. He is also very fair in that he gives hints, extra credit, and is mad cool. Sure the subject is difficult but it's our job to do what we have to in order to pass. His exams are challenging but not impossible. I'd say get to know the textbook and just use lecture for reinforcement.

SO HOT! and hes funny! hes a really good teacher. Obviously its a really hard subject so you should go all of the time. But hes awesome! Prob best orgo teacher you'll find

Cross isn't that bad, pretty easy actually. if you have to take orgo, I recommend taking him. He provides practice exams before the tests and the tests are just like the back exams. He also gives extra credit. He basically teaches based on what he will test you on, so if you take him for orgo 1, def. take him for orgo 2.

I had Cross for Orgo 2. He is a pretty fair professor. But he does not prepare you well for the ACS exam, which you will take at the end of Orgo2. His exams are pretty fair if you work insanely hard, but usually he uses the same questions for his quizzes and exams from his back exams. If you keep doing problems from the back exams then you should g

I had him for Orgo 1 and 2 and he's an excellent professor. Tests are fair and grade you get is the one you deserve. He explains concepts clearly and is funny as well. People just give him bad ratings b/c they don't have a good study ethic. He doesn't quiz you to death like Fleming to make sure you're keeping up. He treats you like adults.

I thought he was an excellent organic professor. He is very passionate and he knows his stuff. Study his quizzes and back-exams, he will often duplicate questions. He does give extra credit so answer everything you can. Its orgo so you must study hard regardless. He is also very attractive with a sexy accent. Never a dull moment in his class.

Love the accent!!! easy to comprehend his lecture. not a easy grader, attendance is a must otherwise you would miss a lot!! midterms were hard!!Take at your own risk!

Fabulous professor and easy on the eyes (that's for sure). Very clear, very helpful, amazing Orgo professor. In comparison to some other orgo chem professors, an orgo god.

Great professor. Gives handouts and detailed notes. You need to go to every class to do well. Your final grade is a bit normalized to the total with the points so it change what you get and itsn't out of 1000 points. Overall still very fair and helpful do the backexams and know the material and this class is a very easy.

I don't know how to start about Cross. He is my favorite professor so far at Temple. He is AWESOME. He explains the material so well that I never read the books. If you study the notes and listen to what he says in class, you will do fine with the tests. He is funny and HOT too. But he does not curve much though. Take him and you wont regret it

He is the Science teacher temple has. Goes over the material clearly, he give you time to study for his testes. The thing with his class is to read the material before hand it will be extremely helpful. Im taking him for orgo II again

Cross is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He really knows a lot about orgo. His lectures are very easy to follow and take notes on. For you premed kids, he teaches you everything your going to need to know for the MCATS, except nomenclature, but thats really easy to learn on your own.

Great professor! but come to class!! cross will put many problem that he showed in class on the exams so it helps to go to lecture. If you are not doing well go talk to him! overall the exams were fair but you must study!
