BEST CHEMISTRY PROFESSOR, TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN. HE KNOW THE MATERIAL AND KEEPS YOU INTERESTED. TAKE HIM IN THE REGULAR SEMESTER NOT THE FIVE WEEK COURSE STUDY HARD AND IT IS A SURE A

One of the best professors at UTA. Takes attendance, has online fill in the blank notes and his lecture is consistent with that. Test- you need to understand every little concept, veeery tricky!! IF you get the answer very fast check it again chances are your wrong. SI helps a lot!!

He's very tricky with his tests. You could master the material he teaches but it does you no good for his tests. He words the questions so different from the way he taught the material that I think even the SI leader would be confused on what he's asking. The worst part is that he puts answers for every possible mistake you can make.

This is seriously the best professor at UTA. He is so helpful, explains the material well and will make sure you understand. His tests are easy if you've studied, trust me. So in general, go over the class notes and study, study, study. He also has funny jokes to tell. :)

BEST TEACHER EVER! Homework helps a lot, tests are predictable but not super easy. I learned the material well and he teaches like he cares! Very helpful! He gets to know your NAME if you sit in the front!

Test are difficult. You could know the material and still get a B. He gives you notes so its easy to study. I recommend taking another class but going to his lectures.

Love him!

He is the best. I admire him!

Dr. Rogers is an amazing professor, highly recommended. Pretty easy class too, as long as you go to class and listen to his lectures, the book isn't even needed. His test question can tend to get tricky.

Dr. Rogers is an awesome teacher but gives you a false sense of confidence. You feel prepared for the test but, despite his assurances, they are incredibly tricky and you must know the concepts inside and out or you will fail. Very nice and funny!

Ochem in general is hard, can't blame Dr. Rogers for that. I think he is very good about emphasizing what will be on tests from his "cheesy" notes as he calls it (which are extremely helpful btw). Just go to all lectures, do every single HW problem and you should be fine. Great teacher, covers exactly what you need from OC1 for MCAT and DAT.

Rogers is the best chem professor you will find at UTA! He knows what students' weaknesses are and you can tell he absolutely LOVES Chem. He made me LOVE Chem with all my heart..which had never happened before. Lot of people said he's tricky on tests, but he's just trying to help you learn! You can't blame him for that! GREATEST professor ever!!!!!

Dr. Rogers is a GREAT professor. He's very lively and funny and it's easy to stay up in his lectures. He's not the easiest teacher but you WILL know the material thoroughly when you finish his class. His tests aren't necessarily tricky but you need to completely understand the notes and the homework. Look at the old tests!! Attendance is a must.

I attended his lectures while enrolled in another professor's class. His lectures are so much easier to understand but I would never dream of taking one of his exams...

Dr. Rogers is an awesome prof. I did have to work my butt off.. but if you truly KNOW the material you will do well in his class. Test are tricky, but only require critical thinking, nothing impossible. Study hard and you will do well. Whoever said you can't make an A probably didn't put in the effort, cause I did :)

very clear at his lectures and explaining concepts but he has the worst exams which are very tricky. take another teacher but attend his lecture and you wont regret it.

Very good teacher lecture-wise and an all-around nice guy but the tests will bite you in the butt. As long as you know practically EVERYTHING, you can get an A in the class.. I still recommend him and plan on taking him for CHEM 1442 too!

Rogers is here to teach and its the students job to study and learn the material. Yes that means, this won't be an Easy A. His tests are very tricky as he will put false answers every single time. Just double check your work and study, you should be fine. I got an A, but I earned it.

TAKE HIM and don't think twice. By far the BEST professor I've ever had!

This class was totally easy. He's a great teacher and his tests are exactly the same material thought in class. You don't even need the book. All you have to do is review his notes a few days before the test. I made an A and barley attended class.

Excellent prof, you will never get bored in class - but tests are extremely hard and mostly write out. I studied at least 20 hours a week, went to every lecture, worked all homework problems, and still made a c.

Rogers is hands down the best professor to be teaching chemistry. His notes are organized and very helpful, but tests are pretty tricky and require a lot of studying! HWs dont help alot but are worth the practice. Overall its a great class and he makes chemistry fun and exciting!

He's a great professor! The tests are tricky but if you know your material it's relatively easy to make an A or B. He even puts his lectures online in case you have to miss a day so he's about as helpful as possible! I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to actually learn chemistry

He is a great teacher and is very clear in every part of chemistry he teaches but the problem were the tricky tests! Had to drop and take tanizaki. went from a D in rogers to an A in tanizaki.

Best Chemistry Prof. Explains in great detail. If you study the notes and the book you will make an A. Test are a little tricky but if you know the material and make no mistakes your all good.

Explains things very clear.Passionate about the subject.Very willing to help. He does tend to add in extra unecessary info though. However!His tests are RIDICULOUS.I retook chemistry with him.First professor i was averaging B- C+ on the tests.. with Rogers.. F,F,F. Made like 30's on all my test.Even my other teacher acknowledges how hard they were.

i want to be like him when i grow up....but it's like wanting to go to the moon

Best chem teacher at UTA. I took Tanizaki last semester and made a D and now this semester with Rogers an A. Rogers is so organized and passionate about what he teaches. If you study all his notes and do the homework there is no way that you can't make an A. Don't take Tanizaki, take Rogers if you want to understand anything in this course.

Had him for chem 1, and he teaches chem 2 the exact same excellent way. Yes his tests have false answers but he explains things so well its worth it. Gives 4 exams and a final, the final can replace one of the 4. I would recommend studying hardest for the first exam because it's the most challenging.

You have to study more in chem 1442... He holds your hand to get an A... Hmm. :D

yes he teaches good but if want a good grade dont take him

He teaches really well.. better than other chem professors at UTA. His tests are really hard yet straight forward if you study well. I would recommend him.

Gives awesome lectures, which YOU SHOULD ATTEND! His tests can be tricky, but if you study well the material, you will have an easier time making A's. 4 tests, drops lowest with final exam if better. He gives his lectures in a pre-made packet. Take notes, fill in the blanks in the packet, and study study STUDY! Funny guy, too!

Chemistry is a very hard subject, but Rogers tries to make it easier to learn, going into the best ways to memorize and such. I wish I'd taken him the first time around, though I wound up dropping because, well, chemistry just isn't for me.

I was actually anxious about taking Rogers bc of the reviews here about his tricky tests.However,after taking 2 of them so far in the summer, they're not that bad.Chem itself is tricky with lots of exceptions, and Dr. Rogers is crystal clear in his lectures about what you need to know. He is an EXCELLENT prof.Its all about your quality of studying.

He's a very good professor. His lectures are always interesting but his tests are somewhat tricky. If you study and practice the problems in the textbook weeks before any test, you should be fine. Do not start studying a few days before his test. Also practice his old tests. They are a little bit helpful. I'll recommend him any time

one time he talked about using his ipod while jogging. instead of listening to music he usually listens to audiobooks. my guess is that when he does decide to listen to music, his top 2 favorite songs would be "camptown races" and "home on the range".

this professor is SERIOUSLY awesome! he's really nice, very sincere and helpful. he makes things very clear and his tests are tricky, but he definitely prepares you for them.

Nice professor, however, tricky as well. He gives out 4 mid-terms worth of 10%, which equals 40%. Homework that weighs 10%, and a lab which weighs 25%. He replaces your lowest test grade with your final exam grade, if the final exam is higher. You do need to study the problems at the end of each chapter and use his notes in order to be successful.

Took him for most of my chemistry classes. If you want to learn and enjoy chemistry this is the professor for you. One of the 5 best professors that UTA has to offer. He is not easy by any means but once he is done with you, you can be confident about chemistry. Also, if your thinking about MCAT he will prepare you with a strong foundation.

This guy is awesome!! He is pretty clear and a little tricky on tests but he lets you know before hand what he might trick you on. He is funny i recommend taking his class.

Dr.Rogers is awesome :) His course is pretty fast-paced so keep up with your reading and practice problems.Read the chapters before lecture.He is funny and a caring man.He truly wants you to love chemistry and to understand it.Tests are pretty hard but you should still definitely take him!

He's one of the best Professors I have had during my time at UTA. He is VERY helpful and understanding. This semester I had to leave for 1 1/2wks and he was more than willing to work with me so I could make up tests and homework. I would suggest him to anyone!

Really good chemistry teacher. Very clear, however, he has a lot of loopholes that he uses in his tests. Alpha decay and deuteron chapters is where it gets easy. This class needs a lot of keeping up, though.

Dr. Rogers is the best lecturer I have had the privilege of having. He always records his class sessions in case you have to miss, and he also offers practice sessions for Gen Chem I and II. Also, his practice exams give you a taste of what to expect on future exams. I highly recommend him if you're serious about school.

Dr. Rogers is the best lecturer I've had. He always records his class sessions in case you have to miss, and he also offers practice sessions for Gen Chem I and II. Also, his practice exams give you a taste of what to expect on future exams. I highly recommend him if you're serious about school. You can't go wrong with him.

Fantastic lectures and a great prof but his tests are extremely tricky. The homework is incredibly time consuming and difficult to figure out. With lab and studying it's overwhelming. I would not take this class unless you took Chem I at UTA and recently. Don't make my mistake and wait between 1441 and 1442 or take 1441 elsewhere.

Rogers is a great teacher. He explains chemistry subjects very well and is a great teacher to take if your serious about taking the MCAT. The only downfall is that his tests are extremely tricky. He says they are not, but they really are. I would suggest taking another teacher if you plan on keeping your science GPA high.

I really recommend you guys take him for chemistry. His notes are all you need to get an A. (plus showing up to class and doing homework).

After having an A the entire semester, I faced a final almost completely based upon info he sqeezed in on dead week. Such a great professor but such a terrible way to end the class. That exam was in no way indicative of the knowledge gained during the course of that semester.

Ochem is no joke and he's one of the best professors for the subject. The first day of class, he'll outline the course for you. To do well in the course, you'll have to spend at least 3 hours studying for every 1 hour of lecture. That's what it'll take to succeed in this course. And the grading scale is lenient too-- 88 or higher is an A.

My favorite professor at UTA. I had nearly failed chemistry in high school, but Dr. Rogers made chemistry very understandable. The class isn't easy by any means, but do the practice exams and you'll do alright. He's also the head of the chess club. ;)

Taking Ochem 1 and 2 with Rogers back to back over the summer was grueling and stressful-even for Rogers. Nevertheless, when summer was over, I felt enlightened. His teaching style and tone really gets you hooked into the material. I recommend taking him over the spring/fall semesters because you'll be able to see him more often! haha

I took him over summer for Ochem 1/2, and it was great. After taking it at another school, it's amazing to experience someone actually teaching the material. Come to class, pay attention, and practice the problems and you'll do fine. Staying focused is the only hard part.

This was the first chemistry class I have ever taken in my life and I am glad I had it with Dr. Rogers. He is clear and concise and to do well in the class attend the problem solving sessions he holds and do the practice tests he provides. You do need to study but you can do well if you put in the effort. By far one of the best professors at UTA

Dr. Rogers tests are not tricky. Science is about exceptions and he is just checking how well you know them. Study and get comfortable with the material, you can do it and still maintain a 4.0 just STUDY like you would a challenging class. Dr Rogers is one of the best professors at UTA, he does everything he can to help you succeed

I would highly recommend anyone to take his class.He provide fill-in-the-blank notes for class and his lecture are great! He makes chemistry understandable and he does practice problem sessions. His tests are a bit of a challenge, but if you study and do practice exams, then you should do well.

Dr. Rogers is amazing. One of the best professors I've had. The class is tough, but any decent student willing to put in the work needed to achieve their desired grade should have no problem. I never bought the book, but heard it helped with the hw. Nonetheless, I did well without it. I highly recommend taking 1465 with Rogers.

Chemistry is a difficult course so do not expect to pull of an easy A. This class requires a lot of work and attention. Yes, you can manage an A but expect to put a lot of effort to this class and stay on top of the material. Dr. Rogers is an amazing professor who will help you and provide a lot of resources for you to succeed.

I had Prof. Rogers for both 1441 and 1442. All I can say about him is that he is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I love his teaching style and how much he wants his students to succeed. I have never met a professor tat cares so much about his student's success like he does. Please do take him, it will be a great experience. You will learn a lot from him.

His tests are very tricky. It took me making a 35 before I realized that it is important to go buy the old exams and attend the Chem/Biochem society's review. Then I made As. He replaces your lowest test grade with your final if it will help you. Go to class, join AURAS if you can, do the problem sessions, follow his outlines, and you'll do fine.

I think he is the best teacher I have taken so far. He gives really good notes. however, his tests are tricky and a little bit hard. Make sure you know everything and you do all his practice tests; problem sessions are helpful as well. I got a 45 and a 60 in his first two tests, and I ended up with a B.So don't give up if you start with a low score

Great professor! I loved Rogers class, he made lecture interesting with his stories that helped you remember what he is trying to teach. Very understanding and always willing to help out.. He even threw in bonus points for attending class. The class is difficult but you can pass. Attend every class. He made me love chemistry again!

Made intro hard than needs to be as his only job is to teach textbook concepts n write xms.Testing silly exceptions on exams doesntreflect grd earned nor gud to put wrong ans when ull mistake under just 50 min for 22-25 problems so no doubl checkExpects to give all time to chem n histime consuming masteringchem. feel sorry for freshmans becz of he.

If you have trouble with or want to learn chemistry this is the guy to take! People complain about his concept questions (which are the ones I tend to miss) but they are a true test of understanding. He is the best to take for gen chem, this is not a plug and chug class but one you learn in. Highly recommend! Amazing amazing!

He tells lots of jokes during lecture. There are notes that he uses which are fill in the blanks. He's a great lecturer, but his tests can be tricky. "I don't test if you understand the material; I test if you've mastered the material." The Mastering Chemistry is awful btw.

Let me start by assuming this page is for Dr. Jimmy ROGERS, as there is no professor at UT Arlington named Jimmy Rodgers, in the chemistry department or otherwise. With that in mind, Dr. Rogers is passionate and enthusiastic; if you pay attention in his class, you will learn what you need. Tests are tough, though - work out each problem CAREFULLY!

Fantastic lecturer, always answers the questions asked in class so that everyone understands. Tests can be tricky at times, but you will be guaranteed to learn the material. He uses fill in the blank notes, but you dont have to use them. He is so passionate about teaching/chem and it makes it easy to pay attention to.

He's a pretty cool professor. He loves what he's doing. Easy to understand and his notes are the best.

One of my friends that graduated last year told me to take Dr. Rogers and it was the best decision I made this semester. I am a biochemistry major so I already loved chemistry, but he made me love it more. His lectures are great plus he is very engaging and funny. I would recommend anyone to take this course. The tests are not easy, but tolerable.

I look forward to going to his lecture every mwf. His fill in the blank notes are so helpful and he keeps class interesting by making quirky little jokes. I haven't even opened the textbook so if you've taken chem in high school you probably won't even need the book. He takes attendance using a clicker though

His fill in the blank notes made everything a lot clearer. I took strom for ochem 1 and barely got a B, but with rogers I understood so much more and got an A. I didn't use the book very much. Tests came straight from his notes and the old exams were also helpful. He's AWESOME!!

Dr. Rogers is an amazing professor! He truly cares about his students succeeding in his class. If you are confused he will gladly try to re-explain it. he takes attendance through clicker questions. He tries to make the class fun but informative. Not a easy class at all but if you study hard and i mean at least 3hrs everyday you may just pass.

Dr. Rogers is an amazing professor who cares about the success of his students. He gives us everything we need in order to pass. If you don't pass it's because you didn't study. I love his teaching methods. He encourages his students and teaches with a passion. No other professor like him. I can't imagine taking a chem class without him

Hands down the absolute best teacher you will ever have. Not an exaggeration. Words cannot describe how wonderful this professor is. If there is a chance to register for his classes, do it!

Great Professor. Will single you out if you're on your phone and will move you during test if he thinks you're cheating. Great professor and easy class. Understand the concepts and tie it to each other and you're set

He's a good professor, but his homework can be excruciatingly long and his exams are HARD. Class average for exams is always failing. Some opportunity to pass (lab is easy and helps a lot). Overall, I would take him, just be prepared for his ridiculous exams.

Great guy, great lectures! Only downside is the long homework. But you definitely learn the material, and he is a great professor!

In every level of education (grade school, highschool, undergrad, and grad school) you will have just a small handful of teachers that you will never forget, it is a rare and wonderful thing and Dr. Rogers is Absolutly one of those teachers. His tests are hard but the departmential final is based on his tests so your better off learning it from him

Dr. Rogers is the best chemistry professor of all time. He is the best.

Dr. Rogers is a great lecturer. He is good at inspiring students to learn the materials and passionate in teaching. To have an A in his class, you must know the materials. His tests are hard because there are only about 20-24 questions/test. I definitely love him. If you must take the course, take it with him since you can learn a lot. Gluck

His lectures are entertaining and his notes are organic chemistry gold He's always willing to help you and holds extra sessions out of class to do example probs. This is a very hard class with a lot of information to go over and he made organic chemistry understandable. I put hours every night into studying and reading the chapters and made an A

Here's the deal with Rogers. His notes and lectures are awesome. Heavy book work required in all classes. His tests... HARDEST THINGS EVER. BUT, you will be more prepared for the final then any of the other classes will be. But.. they will have higher test scores throughout the semester. My advice.. get his notes from a friend but take someone else

Although I didnot make the grade i wanted, it was my fault! he is an incredible professor, very encouraging and helpful. read the book and do all end of chp problems and you will make good grades! the key is not to procrastinate... It was not an easy class but learned a lot!

Rogers is awesome, his energy is infectious, and he's always available to help. He genuinely wants you to succeed, and part of that success is understanding the rules AND EXCEPTIONS in chemistry. Yes, his exams are hard, but he also tells you exactly which 'tricks' he'll test during lecture. Also, great focus on material for the MCAT, PCAT, etc.

Dr. Rogers truly cares for his students and the material he teaches. He is enthusiastic about the subject, which makes lectures immersive. I don't understand how previous posts think his tests are "tricky" (made a 92 and 100 on the mid-terms so far); he gives an abundance of resources to allow you to succeed. - Current student

Best teacher I've had at UTA. Don't take him if you don't want to learn! Took for Genchem1 and OChem1 and loved it! He makes you work for the grade, but in the end you come out with a greater understanding of chemistry than you do with any other teacher here. Have to read book and work prac. probs! Enthusiatic, organized, nice, and awesome prof!!

Dr. Rogers is absolutely amazing! He loves chemistry and knows exactly what he is talking about. Chemistry is a hard subject but he provides a lot of options for students to pass his class such as S.I., problem sessions, chemistry clinic, test reviews, etc. A lot of online homework, so get ready!

Dr. Rogers in thorough and very knowledgeable.

Great professor. Really knows his stuff. His tests though are ridiculous. Way way too hard. Due to this I would not recommend you take him unless you have a GREAT understanding of chemistry or are premed (and even then....)

Dr. Rogers knows chemistry very well. His lectures are crystal clear, and he is concise and tells you what you need to know. He goes through examples too in class. His exams are just like his notes, but you have to go to class to understand them. He is a fair professor, and he even has practice exams available. He is a great professor!

His general chemistry II class is more difficult than his general chemistry I class. I feel like you do need to rely on the book a little more than in general chemistry I. He also likes to use ALEKS for homework, which is the biggest pain in the butt in the world. He is a good lecturer, so go to class because he tests over small things.

I took Dr. Rogers in fall 2012 at UTA. I really enjoyed all of his lectures and he is very funny. He makes learning the material fun and he is very knowledgeable in the subject. I do want to note his tests are VERY difficult. You need to study for many days to adequately prepare or you will not pass. Homework due every week, 3 tests, and a final.

Jimmy Rogers is the best - I would take him if he taught the phone book. I took his special topics MCAT prep course, and it will save my MCAT score. He has incredible short cuts and his humor somehow manages to keep the class engaged through four-hour lectures. He uses fill-in-the-blank notes, which are an invaluable resource for future study.

A very intelligent professor that is passionate about his lectures; however he is extremely difficult.

I wouldn't take him if i were you.. his test is nightmare.. He's a good professor though, incredible lectures

I don't really understand all of the comments saying his test are difficult. There are many old exams floating around and he basically tells you what "tricks" will be on the exam. Overall a phenomenal instructor i would recommend to anyone.

I love Dr. Rogers so much. He is such a good teacher, and you should definitely take him!!

I took Dr. Rogers for CHEM 14411442. He is very energetic. He takes his time with his students and gets to know them. He loves teaching and creates a positive vibe throughout his lectures. He gives you everything you need to be successful in the course. He expects you to earn your grade. I have never taken a chemistry course in HS, but I did well.

This is the best Chem Professor anyone can take at UTA. Its clear to see that he takes time to prepare his lectures and is passionate about what he does. His tests are not a walk in the park, he makes you work for it but nevertheless you are bound to love the class since he is phenomenal as a teacher. Loved his class.

Organic chemistry is hard; there's no such thing as a walk in the park for any ochem class. But Dr. Rogers's teaching style is effective, and he has worked hard to make the content understandable for people like me with simple brains. Be prepared to put in some time & effort, and if you do, you will do great!

He is a good professor that loves what he does. Don't expect an easy A but if you put in the effort you will receive what you deserve. Be prepared for long ALEKS assignments but overall he is the best CHEM1442 professor to take.

Dr. Rogers is the reason I'm pursuing a science degree. He goes above and beyond to present information in the clearest way possible and his passion for teaching is evident in everything he does. He says the first day, "science is not easy" and it shouldn't be. He says that standards are high in the beginning which means you actually have to work

I took Dr. Rogers for CHEM 1441 during a 5 week summer course and then CHEM 1442 during the following semester. He is absolutely the energetic professor I have had at UTA and really cares for his students. He will try to get to know each one of his students. His tests are not easy, but if you work hard you will get an A.

Dr. Rogers is one of the best professors I have had. He makes sure that you understand the material and will go out of his way to make sure that you understand what he is trying to teach. He has nothing but the best interests of his students at heart. I would take him again in a heartbeat! As long as you study and apply yourself you will do well.

Dr. Rogers is a hilarious professor who makes learning Chemistry really enjoyable. Go register for his class right now or by the time you're done reading this it will already be filled up. If you want an A in the class get his practice test and review them a few times, the exam will be a piece of cake. If you want comedy & chemistry take his class!

Passing Chem 1441 isn't as difficult as everyone is making it out to be. Dr. Rogers gives you all the tools to succeed it is just up to you on whether or not you use them. His notes are fill in the blank and very easy to follow. Go over the problems in your notes and practice old tests. He replaces the lowest test grade with your final. Put in work

I'm a senior now & I still have not encountered a single professor who teaches better than Dr. Rogers. He could teach a course on underwater basket-weaving & make it interesting. I've had him for 4 courses & he has the same method in each course with notes. Print the handouts, go to class, & write down "hints" he gives you & you'll get an A.

They don't make professors like Dr. Rogers anymore. He is a diamond in the rough. Forget all the negative things you may have heard of him--no one will make you understand chemistry the way he does. He is clear, and concise in his teaching, passionate about chemistry, and quirky and funny to top it all off. You will love him. I guarantee it.

Dr. Rogers is one of the best teachers I have ever had, he makes learning Chemistry fun (well as fun as it can be). His lecture notes are incredibly helpful and he really wants to make sure you understand the material. If you can get into his class try your best because he is awesome. GO TO CLASS. Attendance can majorly effect your grade!!!

Dr. Rogers was an amazing professor! I love how he makes his own lecture notes as they help you understand the material very well. Also, his tests are not tricky but they can be tough. Make sure you study his practice problems and his past exams non stop, that is what got me through the class. Very funny guy and really knows his stuff.

He has one of the best lectures for CHEM-1441, notes are pre-printed and are the "fill-in-the-blanks" type. Very funny and interesting too. He tries his best to supply you with resources (HW, Practice Problems, Reviews, etc.). The material itself was easy to understand, but he makes you work for the tests. If you're not going to try, you'll fail.

Great lecturer and very entertaining. Dr. Rogers knows how to engage his students and make sure they absorb the knowledge he gives. Tests are hard, but if you study your notes and do the homework, the grade you want is achievable. In this class, the grade you end up with is what you deserve. I absolutely recommend Dr. Rogers to all chem students.

I had Rogers for Chem 1441 and 1442. He is my favorite professor, hands down. His lectures are excellent. His tests are tricky, but he mentions ahead of time *exceptions* to know and has practice tests available. I would definitely recommend him! He cares about his students and is very approachable. Study hard and you will be fine. Good luck guys!

Had him for 1441, which is a challenging class, but he does a lot to help students learn and prepare for the test. It is a very doable class. But the tests are made to challenge your understanding of the concepts, not just plugging in equations. He offers good advice on learning; students should heed it, and assess their own learning/study habits

Took for 5-week summer 2 and it was tough! Still, Dr Rogers is sweet, upbeat and his lectures draw your attention. He really cares about his students, always answers questions thoroughly and kindly. Review notes taken in class and work through practice exams in order to pass. Must attend class or you'll get lost real quick! Don't slack off in lab!

Amazing! That's enough to describe him and his lectures. Great professor. Wish all my lecturers were like him, I learned a lot.

Had him for 1441, and I will take him for chem 1442 as well. Chem is a challenging class, but he help students to learn. Test can be hard, but if do practice problems, practice test, and read the book you will do just fine. He is awesome I really enjoy his lectures.

This man should be praised for his teaching ability, chemistry is tough but doing the practice problems help out a lot and read his textbook, really well written and it pretty much follows his lectures. use the Chemistry Clinic too and watch the practice problem sessions.

Dr. Rogers will be tough to beat as my favorite professor! Chemistry at UTA is notoriously difficult, but thats mitigated by the fact that hes such a phenomenal professor. He genuinely cares about his students and his lectures are coherent and fascinating. Hell make you work hard, but study well, use your resources, and youll succeed.

There are not enough words in the english dictionary to describe how amazing of a teacher and person Dr. Rogers is! He makes Chemistry such a fun subject (never thought I'd have fun in Chemistry) his jokes are hilarious, and his teaching style is brilliant! Dr. Rogers is truly UTA's greatest gem! Go to class, study, ask questions and you're set!

Absolutely amazing professor. Out of the stereotypical professors that many freshmen have learned to be fearful of due to popular media and scare tactics by others, he defies all of them and shows you what a real college professor ought to be. Study hard and you'll do fine. He won't kill your GPA if you procrastinate; ALEKS will.

One of the best in the university. Took him for CHEM 1441/1442 and soon 2321!

Such a lovely guy, he always does his best for his students

I appreciate Dr. Rogers so much. He makes outlined lecture notes for you to better follow and understand. When you ask him a question, even through email, he explains it well and shows you that he really cares. He does problem sessions, speaks eloquently, ALWAYS has a kind and enthusiastic attitude, always willing to help. He really is the best.

Best professor ever, very funny, smart and intelligent. notebook from bookstore helps a lot. Yeah his homework is super hard(from Aleks and took about 8 hours to finish it), test question sometimes are tricky, but his passion and intelligence let me learn a lot. Definitely, I will take his class if I have the chance.

Took him for Gen Chem 2, and it was great! Amazing lectures and a great guy giving them. Tests are exactly like the reviews you can buy. He basically gives you the steps to solving each question on the exam. Best professor at UTA, and an easy A if you come to class and pay attention.

Dr. Rogers is an AMAZING professor, he gives lots of bonus points in class and explains things so clearly that you'll understand the material even if you're not a science major. Exams are not tricky--study all old exams on his website and SECC, go to problem sessions and you'll be fine. Lab Sucks and the TA named Roy is the worst, he WILL fail you.

For organic chemistry he provides printable notes that you bring to every lecture and simply fill in the blanks as he shows them in the powerpoint. Even with pretty large class sizes, he strives to know student's names, and personally wants all students to pass. His tests can be difficult due to the coursed material, but he gives effective reviews.

He's very passionate about chemistry, which makes him a great professor. He's very easy to talk to and will try to remember your name. People say he's hard, but the subject is just hard itself. Buy his old test questions because his test is the same thing. Read his textbook and do the practice problems. Finish ALEKS because you get extra credit.

Dr. Rogers is THE BEST chemistry professor. I had him for Gen Chem 1 & 2 and made an easy A. His fill in the blank notes make you understand the material and his tests are fair. Come to class, fill out your notes, and do the $1 practice tests from the SECC till you're sick of it. He'll be more than happy to see you in office hours also.

I took this man for both Gen Chems. Dr. Rogers is a great professor and deserves every bit of praise. however, I will warn that he wants to master the material, know it front to back. His tests can be pretty difficult if you don't study effectively. So basically, its easy to make a B but its hard to make an A

Dr. Rogers is the best! I had him for both chem 1441 & 1442 and it was easy! He tests exactly like how he lectures!

I feel like this the professor that made me love chemistry and understand it which made it easy. He is knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. I could not take him for one of my chem courses so I used his notes which saved my life. Read the textbooks and study his notes too. Its chemistry you have to study consistently if you do your part SUCCESS.

What you need to do to pass: 1) attend every lecture 2) go through the practice exams he posts on BB before the test 3) Go to the reviews held by the biochem society (you have to pay for these but I honestly think it's worth it- I wish I had gone to each one!) 4) go through the study guides in the lecture notes

Professor rogers is an outstanding professor and I enjoyed his lectures. I wasn't able to attend all the classes and lab session and because of that I have to redo the class because I need a better grade than what I got. Attending all lectures, problem sessions, reading the book and notes before and after class is recommended. Ill retake his class.

Professor Rogers is the best at chemistry; he really enjoys it and makes the class interesting. For tests just study the review problems and you'll do great. I got an A but I would study a week prior to the test. ALEKS homework is going to kill you but do it anyway it helps to prepare you for the tests.

Dr. Rogers is an amazing professor and I'd take him again in a heartbeat. The tests are multiple choice but not easy. Attendance is mandatory and checked by way of clicker questions. The ALEKS program for homework takes a lot of time. He is very kind and easily accessible, always trying to help students do well. He really cares.

Probably the best professor I've ever had. His tests are hard af, but he teaches well it sort of evens out (but not really). Inspirational and makes chemistry fun. The final was the hardest test I have ever taken, even after just finishing OChem 1.

Dr. Rogers is a great professor. He is very good at actually teaching the material, and seems to care about his students. His lectures are excellent. The tests were very difficult and the ALEKS homework program was time-consuming.

Never in my life have I had a better teacher/professor than Dr. Rogers. Chemistry itself is a challenging subject but he manages to break it down and make it easy. He has tons of old test questions he gives you to review, which are the EXACT same format as the midterms you'll take, only the numbers are changed (some are even recycled). Amazing man.

This was honestly my easiest class so far. As long as you come to class regularly and listen, and study the past questions behind the textbook (he wrote it so we had the pdf version for free) you'll pass.

Fantastic lecturer and really wants you to succeed. On top of helping you build great notes, he hosts Problem Sessions to help you study for his tests. He teaches to the test, something a lot of profs don't do! His class is a lot of work, but he is hands down the best chem prof on campus.

This class is so hard, but Dr. Rogers makes it amazing. I love love love love love Dr. Rogers and I could not recommend taking his class strongly enough. He's an amazing lecturer and awesome person

Do the practice exams and you're good. He gives you a lot to work with to study for exams. I also enjoyed the lectures

He's a great lecturer and is a nice guy - gives you notes that have everything you need to know. The exams come right from the book problems. Only issue is the UTA Chem dept forces you to do pointless online HW. Tons of online homework that wastes your time because the material is not on the exam.

His lectures aren't as bad as everyone makes it seem, you spend A LOT of time on ALEKS for homework and his tests are a bit tricky. But CHEM 1442 is a weed out class so it is going to be hard, just put in the effort to read the textbook and do the practice problems and you'll be set for the class.

Highly the best professor at UTA, does everything in his capability to make sure students grasp the information. Go to class, read the book, solve practice problems and you should be fine. Lab & Aleks are the worst of this class, however he isn't in charge of either. This class is NOT easy & very overwhelming, however Dr. Rogers is the best

Dr. Rogers was easily my favorite professor for my first semester at UTA. He was clear on grading. He made jokes every now and then to keep the class interested. He used good real life examples of chemistry in the real world. He holds info sessions on wednesdays for students that don't understand course material. Great teacher! Would def take again

Makes learning chem fun and teaches in a way that makes it easy to understand. He gives a lot of materials to ensure you do well on exams and is very friendly.

One of the best professors I ever had! He really cares about your learning and if you had any questions, he answers them very well and it's understandable. He gives us notes in class so that we could follow along with him while he lectures. His tests are fair because he teaches the things that are on the test, in class. Go to class Ace on tests

Dr. Rogers was great, actually. The grad-level questions on his exams are structured the SAME way in the textbook and the back of our notes. The practice problems in the textbook are a perfect example of what your tests will look like. Practice those until you dont need to look at the step-by-step procedures and youll pass the exams :)

Dr. Rogers is one of the best professors I ever had at UTA. I've taken chemistry before, and I didn't understand a lot of the material in the past until I took his classes. He explains everything well, and is always available to help out his students. I found his fill-in-the-blank notes and problem sessions to be very beneficial study tools.

Dr. Rogers is one of the best professors at UTA. He makes chemistry interesting. Don't listen to those who are giving him a bad review based on how much ALEKS is assigned, every professor gives out ALEKS homework, so it's unavoidable regardless of the professor you take.

Yes he gives lots of homework on ALEKS, but ALEKS is department wide so he has no choice in that matter. Even if he did,it is benificial to do the problems for practice. If you want a good grade in here YOU HAVE TO READ THE TEXTBOOK AND WORK ALL OF THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS! Look. Rogers wrote the book. He also writes the tests. So do the book problems

Dr Rodgers is an extremely fair professor. If you read the textbook and pay attention in class, there is no question you should get wrong on any exam. He gives you ample resources and practice questions that nearly mirror what he asks on thetests. Overall, I would recommend anyone to take his class. If you want to get an A,just work at it. you will

Very well spoken and enthusiastic. SI sessions are clutch. Gave multiple resources for additional help. Has practice exams, practice problems in book, practice problems in notes and videos of him working through all of them one on one. Concise notes packet. I hated Aleks with a BURNING passion but it taught me a lot. Best Professor!!!! So adorable!

Pros: good lectures, really caring, and if you can do the practice tests you can do the actual test. Cons: sometimes tells stories, gets behind, ALEKS online homework, and lab is really ahead of lecture. Tips: Work wayyy ahead

He is an awesome professor

Prof Rogers is the best at his job. This class does have quite a work-load but it's manageable. Just put in your best effort, go to class, do LOTS of practice problems, do ur best in lab and read the textbook, IT HELPS. I managed to get a high B while taking anatomy and physio class so it's possible to do really well if you try your absolute best!!

Dr. Rogers is hands down the best chemistry professor. He does so much for his students, those giving him bad reviews are complaining about the workload of aleks and lab which he isn't in charge of either. He assures that the students actually master the material they're learning. Go to class, read the book, do the practice problems and you're set.

Chem 2 is much more difficult than chem 1 and Rogers makes that clear. If you do all the practice problems and UNDERSTAND them a few times then you will be fine. The review sessions and the chem clinic are some great ways to do well. Even though chem 2 itself isn't great, Dr. rogers is the best prof to get you through it. There is still aleks.

HW are due weekly and he occasionally willing to move the due date. His test are FREE RESPONSE but he does give partial credit so I would recommend doing all the practice problem in the book and having a decent understand of the concept behind it. I know it seen like a lot of work but this will be the foundation for your later year in chemistry.

He is an awesome lecturer. if you go to his class and practice the problem as he says you can easily get an A.

Ignore the bad reviews, they're just petty they didn't get the grade they wanted. He has so many resources outside of his lectures that could help such as old exams that he reuses, a textbook that is exactly how the lecture is ordered, and quick replies to emails. Your attendance is around 5% of your grade so technically its mandatory.

Great professor! If you go to class and follow along with lectures you will get most of your studying done for exams. He provides many resources to practice problems that are identical to questions on exams so work through them. The online homework is tedious but if you do a little everyday its not too bad to keep up with.

Best chemistry professor ever, such a great professor he will teach you everything the proper way and actually cares about you learning rather than just throwing a bunch of tests at you for simply having grades

I took Dr. Rogers for Gen Chem 1, 2 & organic chemistry (during COVID-19 online structure). He is so kind and will help you in any way that you need it!! He loves teaching and loves chemistry so he shows that through his lectures. He is going to make you work for your grade and you have to do A LOT of problems, but it will be worth it in the end!

I loved his class. Chem 1341/1342 is Chem for Chemistry majors, and he was really great. Funny and really good at teaching. Does go a bit fast. Overall, you have to study. Go to SI sessions if available, and find study group. Lots of resources to study from, including old exam q's, which he uses to make tests. Got A's for both classes.

Dr. Rogers is the best professor in the chemistry department. His lectures are amazing! He uses his own textbook which makes it that much better. He tells you exactly what to prepare for and he is very kind about answering questions. He also mentions what topics will show up again in more advanced classes. He is very passionate about teaching.

Overall I think his class is quite easy. It's true that I receive a B in his class, which is due to the fact that his test time is too short, but overall if you write your note, read the textbook to do the problem, you should be fine.

Rogers is a good professor and person. You'll actually learn in his class because there is no other way to pass. Each test is based on the type of questions in the back of the lecture notes and textbook (which he writes himself), so make sure to practice. He is the best chem professor in the whole department.

Such a sweet man! Chem is hard anyways so do not slack off, one of the best out there, he is the head of the chem department for a reason. 4 exams and quizzes, one gets dropped in the end. All is provided, its just you who has to do the actual work and study for it! Slacking off will not get you passing.

Tough class. You WILL have to put in a lot of work for an A. Dr. Rogers is an excellent Professor. If your goal is to do well then start immediately. Procrastination and cramming will NOT work.

I am absolutely awful at chemistry but Rogers explains it in a way that is digestible. Notes are very clean and plays an important role in your comprehension so keep up with them. Lectures seem super long but absolutely none of it is redundant. Cuts the fat out of learning and gets straight to the point. Please take him. Please.

1442 is much tougher than 1441, but my grade was almost a letter higher in 1442 thanks to Dr. Rogers. He is by far the best professor I have had at UTA so far. He is anything but boring, very nice, and quick to emails. Watching his optional practice problem videos are crucial. My other chem prof. provided no such thing. Do not take this for granted

Chem II is quite the hassle especially if your chem knowledge isn't the best. Luckily, Jimmy really goes into depth in his lectures. This man wrote the freaking chem textbook so he is the best UTA has to offer. He is also quite funny with his cringe jokes. Don't be afraid to ask for help regarding specific concepts he is there for ya! 11/10 burgers

He is an amazing professor but makes you work for your grade. Make sure to watch lectures, do homework as well as read the textbook. If you want an easy A then take someone else, however, if you actually want to learn and challenge yourself then he's the one to take. Teaches you everything and is funny too.

Dr. Rogers is one of the best professors in the Chemistry department. His lectures are very clear and he has his notes printed out which you can buy at the bookstore. He demands a lot of time from his students but if you just watch his lectures and fill out the notes, you will be ready for the exams and can easily pass this class.

Dr. Rogers is an ANGEL. Very caring guy who loves the material and knows it really well (he wrote the textbook). It's pretty challenging stuff but he makes it enjoyable. Be ready to be present and pay attention. Do your work and you will get a good grade.

Although Ochem 1 kicked my ass, Rogers was honestly a great teacher. He is really passionate about what he teaches and wants his students to learn. This course relies heavily on test grades, so I wouldn't miss any lectures, but also be sure to read the book. He prepares you very well for the final exam so you feel ready for it.

Excellent professor

One of the most amazing professors at UTA. Really cares about his students and knows how to teach his material in a way that students can understand. Has great lectures with fill-in-the-blank notes and a textbook he wrote himself. He's head of the department for a reason. The tests were tough because he required you to fully understand the content.

One of the best professors I've ever had. He manages to make a notoriously difficult course so clear and understandable. He doesn't try to make things difficult. His goal is always to ensure you have a good foundation before building up on content. There are things I never grasped in an entire year of gen chem that he can easily clarify in minutes.

Dr. Rogers is an amazing professor! I took him for both of my gen chem classes. He wrote the textbook and he writes the tests, so the practice problems in the book are very good at preparing you for the test. Chemistry classes are a lot of work in general, but Dr. Rogers keeps it very straightforward. You can also tell that he really cares!

The exams will test whether or not you really understand the material. He is serious when he suggests doing all the practice problems and watching any extra videos available on canvas. Gives a lot of little tips and repeats the important parts until they come to you naturally. Very approachable and funny, great class!!

Dr. Rogers is easily the greatest professor I have ever had. Although OChem 1 is a very difficult course, he ensures that he prepares his students. He even developed his own lecture notes so that you can easily follow along. Echo360 videos were SO helpful. Work as many practice problems as possible and ATTEND CLASS! It's hard, but not impossible!

Just as a general note, this class requires a lot of practice. He is clear with the material as he can be, was always willing to meet me outside of office hours (I work a lot), and has sat through my frustration with material. He tries to make the class fun, and wants you to do well. You honestly have to practice the concepts in order to do well.

Dr. Rogers is a great professor. A lot of people here fail to mention that the exams he gives have built-in additional points. Meaning you could score higher than a 100, sometimes, as high as a 120. Dr. Rogers is also very clear and understanding and very easy to meet with outside of class. This course does require lots of studying and practice!

Dr. Rogers is probably the best chemistry professor in the department and truly cares for his students. He's very straightforward about what will be on the test and what subjects you should take notes on for future endeavors (i.e., MCAT, DAT, etc.). He is also always open to questions and wants to ensure you understand the subject.

Rogers is simply the best. Kind, caring, approachable, and really wants the best for his students. He does expect you to know that material, so don't expect a free A. But he's such a great teacher that an A is attainable, even in such a famously difficult course. Built in bonus points on exams, final replaces the lowest, etc. Take him.

To get 100's on exams which is very possible, you need to not only memorize the rules of the chapters in full detail, but also and more importantly be able to apply the rules to the questions you practice prior to exams. If you memorize the rules only, you will get a C or D at best. Do not slack or you will not understand the following chapters.

Honestly I was really intimidated about taking Organic Chemistry, but he is a great teacher, you are ACTUALLY learning! My tip is, read the textbook for things you are struggling with, and make sure to do the practice problems in the textbook. Make sure you do ALL the lecture note questions as well as the past exam questions.

No complaints about the prof - straight forward and if you do the practice exams he throws you a bone and sometimes a question is on the test. Also very available if you need to see him, for those with a dense working schedule. If you suck at MC questions, prepare for those - tests are a majority of points there, including the final.

The most organized professor I have ever seen. Not a single person who left a negative review actually put effort into the class. If you ask anyone who has taken Rogers, you will only hear good things about his class. He's clear to follow through with his lecture notes and gives students more study material than any other professor.

Great professor with lots of knowledge. He wrote the textbook that was used in class, so as long as you complete the problems in the book and the practice exams, you'll do great. The test questions are exactly the same format as the textbook. Chem is not an easy course, so you have to be willing to study and work. Lots of extra resources are given.

Professor Rogers is great at making a tough class understandable. Attending lectures and using resources like unstuckstudy ai are key to doing well. Expect to put in serious effort, but it pays off.

Took this class a while back, so I can only really speak for him back then. OChem is a difficult class, but Dr. Rogers made it easy. His after-lecture quizzes forced me to stay on top of things, and he had plenty of study material. Even if you did miss class, he doesn't deviate from the textbook. Overall, the gold standard for chemistry professors.

I took Dr. Roger's General Chemistry I class during my first semester of college. He is the absolute best and has exceeded any expectations I could have had. He is personable, sets out clear expectations, and does everything in his power to ensure that you will be prepared to do well on your test. His lectures are also genuinely entertaining. 10/10

This class is hard. The professor is only there to make it easier, which he does. His lecture videos and notes are the best thing ever and only make class easier. He does explain things so nicely, but for the class, you have to do all the practice problems from Rogers videos and the Klien Textbook. For exams, study atleast a week before, it is HARD

This course is hard, but the prof. It's super nice. Make sure to practice every day. The lecture won't help you retain info, in my opinion, it's only to introduce the material. You need to be reading the textbook and doing the practice problems; otherwise, you will bomb the tests. Four midterms come sooner than you think, so don't fall behind

A passionate and experienced teacher. He explains the material thoroughly which sometimes causes us to fall behind (but he omits what he doesn't teach on the test). But because there is so much to be covered, this class requires a lot of self-teaching/memorization (something I did not grasp). Make sure to take advantage of all resources he provides

Your only grades are the 3 exams (final is comprehensive & optional) and attendance (5%). But you will want to attend lectures if you aren't familiar with chem like me. I dropped the class due to it being my first time studying chem & I didn't want to ruin my GPA, but I am retaking it with him. He provides MANY resources. Best chem prof at UTA imo.

Rogers is a great professor. 4 midterms and a final. Tests are exactly what he teaches in class. He wrote the textbook. Lecture notes are amazing. Very organized. HOWEVER, you HAVE to put in the work, or else you won't pass. Study 2-3 weeks before midterms. Make use of practice exams. Final replaces lowest test grade. Do not procrastinate... EVER.

Rogers is amazing. You NEED to work through the Klein textbook. The notes he gives are good but not enough to score well on the exams, especially if you want an A. Start studying for the exams 2-3 weeks before because most of your grade is based off of them. He typically offers extra points (graded out of 110). You can get an A if you study well.

Dr. Rogers is THE professor to take for general chemistry. His exams are exactly like his practice questions in the textbook he wrote. Genuinely wants to help you understand chemistry rather than memorization. Always accessible during office hours and wants you to succeed. Wish I could have him for every chem class!

Pretty good professor. But lectures didn't really help me book and practice reviews did.

As a person who has struggled sitting in a class for years and comprehending what the teacher is saying, Dr. Rogers actually engages with students to learn. He makes it easy for students to listen to him especially when he goes on about goofy tangents. He is the type of professor that makes learning fun!

The class itself has a lot of concepts to remember, but actually working the practice problems in the textbook really helps. You probably won't do very well by only studying the homework. Grades are mostly just homework, exams, and lab credit.

Absolutely Recommend!

Use his textbook. His test questions literally come straight from the textbook. And I would highly recommend watching his Echo360 lectures ahead of the lecture. I only go because attendance in mandatory tbh otherwise I don't see a need.

Best Gen Chem professor at UTA I've had

Chemistry is not a class you can slack on, and expect to pass. With that said, this professor in my opinion is a true gem. The practice problems in the textbook are great for studying since they are so packed with information. If you feel lost, he is more than willing to help you!

CHEM 1441 is a difficult class no matter the professor, but I highly recommend Dr. Rogers. He's one of the kindest and most helpful instructors I've had. The class requires a lot of effort outside of lecture, but Dr. Rogers is always willing to help. The textbook isn't required, but I found it useful for reviewing and understanding key concepts.

I'm not a fan of chemistry and since my major is non-science so I was just taking this class as an elective. But through out the course I learnt a lot from him. Read the textbook, watch his video and study ahead and you will be fine. Exams are based of previous semesters and some questions are in his textbook. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!!

Dr Rogers was an amazing and very understanding professor. You can tell he cares a lot about his students and I absolutely LOVE his notes and the way he conducts lectures. Take him 100%.

I enjoy his lectures. He's easy-going, chill, and his class is pretty easy. He goes on wacky tangents and is overall just a goofy guy. The exams are a lot like the practice problems in the textbook which is also nice. He has the most interesting stories to tell in class and would highly recommend if you want to succeed!

Dr. Rogers is an amazing professor and is passionate about what he teaches. His textbook was the most useful tool, and as long as you pay attention to the lectures and follow the textbook, you'll be set. He would often try using interesting stories to keep his students intrested and help them memorize the material. I highly recommend taking Rogers.

Please, please, please take Dr. Roger's!!! I was not looking forward to chemistry but he made it not only manageable but actually enjoyable. He is such a sweet person and was very funny in all of his lectures. He really does care about the students and is always willing to help you understand concepts. He truly cares about what he does and it shows

Dr. Rogers is obviously very passionate about teaching chemistry. He tells stories in class to describe certain concepts, which are very helpful. He's also very slow paced, and while that did lag the syllabus, the GPA makes it worth it. Very nice man, just make sure to read the textbook before you ask him any questions, because he wrote it.

Jimmy Rogers might be the next coming of Christ.

dr rogers is the founding father of chemistry. hes the best there is.

Chill guy with great lectures. Tests are somewhat hard and the grading is inconsistent, which could be a fault of someone else if he has others helping him grade.

Take this professor? A HUGE YES!

Professor Rogers is the BEST in the entire department. He teaches in a way that you can tell he does want us to succeed, you just have to put the work Exams are easy and similar to the book, attendence is mandatory though. go ahead and take rogers for 1441 he's like the LeBron of Chemistry.

He has online recorded lectures, in person lectures where he tells insightful and relevant stories, a really good textbook with explanations and office hours. His lectures are so organized, but he can be fast in lectures, but after you can watch his echo360 recorded lectures if you need assistance. He is very funny as well!

This man is national treasure!
