Only had him for lab but he was great! Very helpful and clear.

also only had him for lab, but he is great, explains everything and whatever i didnt get in lecture he was great additional help, very friendly, easy grader on the labs! def helps ur grade out in chem. i def recommend him, overall great prof!!

I hate chem, but had to take it as a prereq. and prof brockman was awesome. tests are a lil hard but it makes the final alot easier. he's very nice and helpful and will help you out with chemistry as much as you need it. I recommend him. All of his extra credit q's are about the florida gators though, haha.

attendance is not mandatory, it won't effect your grade if you don't go to class; however, he does give short unannounced quizes so if you're not there for the quiz, you can't make it up and you get a zero. (even though at the end of the quarter he ends up dropping half of your quiz grades. haha)

He's very helpful. He gives a quiz about every week, but if you attend class he'll explain everything. Extremely helpful in lab, and explains the homework if you don't understand something. Great professor!

Really nice guy but make sure you read the chapters because just going by his notes won't make you fully understand everything. Always willing to stick around after class to answer any questions. He does give a lot of random quizzes but they were only 10% of ur grade. Gives u 4 test that aren't that bad...final was easier than all of them.

I hated Chemistry before I walked into his class. He made it interesting and was willing to help if you had any questions. I took it over the summer and it was crunch time but I thought he explained things very well. You can tell that he just graduated himself (a little snooty)!

Chemistry is HARD! Dr. Brockman explains this difficult subject as best as possible. As long as you read the chapters you will be fine. everything is right out of the book. He grades fair.

Very nice man,always professional.ALOT of info to be covered in such a small amount of time. More emphasis should be placed on classroom lecture time than the lab time. Felt mostly self taught for lab. Thats not his fault.Exams too hard but he is more than fair at grading them.I liked his approach. He is cool but naturally defensive.Reccommend!

Chemistry is a very hard subject. I higly Recommend Prof. Brockman. He is a great teacher on the subject. Of course he can't make you study on your own. There is lots of algebra. Be willing and able to put 10 hours a week to studying. He teaches what will be on his exams. It's up to you to understand, you must read all chapters. Do HW.

This is one of the nicest professors you can get, hands down. If you are taking second-semester chemistry (134), beware, you have to work a lot to stay ahead of the curve and he moves quickly. I've talked to a lot of people and it seems everyone blames their prof for chem 2 at first, then realize they weren't working enough. chin is also good.

Brockman is AWESOME! Chemistry isn't easy but he helps as much as possible. I went to office hours 4 times a week and he is willing to help until you understand. He will not hand you your grade, you have to put in A LOT of work. His tests are easy when you study both his notes and textbook chapters. He is an awesome prof. Loved him! I got a B

This class is tough. It will kick your butt. Be prepared to study 10-20 hours a week. But this teacher takes so much time to help you understand the material. Do the homework! The homework is a cake walk compared to the tests. The best chem teacher I ever had! Use your text!

This class is HARD! Plan on studying at least 20 hours a week. His tests are very challenging. He is VERY helpful. I am a good student, even with all my studying and going for extra help often - I struggled!!! This class is a killer. Although I liked Dr. Brockman a lot.I thought he made his tests extra hard and he flies thru lecture. STRESSFUL !

I was very nervous about going to chemistry, but I receieved a B. He was very helpful and if you do the homeworks and the problems in the back of each chapter, it is very helpful in learning the material. I achieved a B with a newborn baby at home and thats not easy but his way of explaining chemistry was very helpful. Take this professor

this is not an esay course, but he is there to make it easier for you, he is patient, answers all your question and makes sure you understand. his test are hard, howeve, he offers so much help... if you work hard, you can get a B

I was absolutely dreading chemistry prior to this class. It was a tough one especially the tests. His notes are directly from the text. Professor Brockman is straight forward, but he will always answer your question. Do the homework on wiley- it will help you the most!! not necessary to read chapters in their enitrety. lots of study time though

He's a good professor but his tests are so hard, he tells you in the beginning of the semester that the amount of study time per week should be equal to the number of hours in class including lab per week. I got over stressed and had to drop out but just study and you'll be fine, he will always help you and has alot of office hours.

Professor Brockman is a really good teacher, but if you struggle in chemistry I would not recommend taking him. His tests are extremely hard, and I felt as he expected us to just understand the material as soon as he lectured. He will be there to explain things though. Be prepared to study for hours and hours.

He is a good teacher but you MUST study or you won't do well. I was fearful of CHEM but I got a C+ because he was a good teacher. His test are hard but passable if you study. Our class started out with 72 students and ended with 40. Take this class seriously. He is a bit on the arrogant side but you can deal with it. Good luck. YOU CAN DO IT.

great teacher, really wants to help you and make sure you understand the material.. offers extra help everyweek! its like any other class.. you need to study! alot of memorizing!! all homework is online. Tests are a little difficult! if you reread the notes and memorize what he tells you too you'll do fine!! loved going to his class

The best

Have him for Lab, best teacher ever. Even helps us with our class work. take him (:

He is the warmest,cleverest, modest and most helpful Professor. SCCC is lucky to have him...

I love this man, but his test are extremely hard and his class stressed me out. I think he really knows his stuff, and hes really into chemistry, but he is way too smart for his own good. He gives the hardest tests and doesnt curve or give extra credits. Stay away from this class with Brockman

yoooooo whats good people of suffolk looking to take brockman.listein up, if you want a A you gota study alot, If you got a full time job you either gotta be really smart or you just are not going to be able to juggle both of those. Soo yea real talk, get to know B ROCK and camp out his office

Chem is hard , but if you show that you care about passing he'll help you during his office hrs or after class. He's a nice guy but the class is hard. Good luck & study hard

Professor Brockman is a great teacher. He is always there to help you. Chem 134 is very hard coarse but taking it with this professor will not only give you a challenge for a grade but also enhance your knoledge on chemistry incredibly. I recomend this teacher.

Shame on whoever had anything bad to say about professor Brockman. He is there to help and teach us what we need. It's our job to absorb it. He's a GREAT teacher And thats keeping it real! 5-8-13

This professor was very helpful if you were willing to learn and take the extra step. This course was hard but he took his time and explained things.

Great professor & really helps you understand CHE but requires A LOT of work & I mean A LOT! I dropped the Summer Session bc I work full time & couldn't handle the workload. Strict on attendance(you can't afford to miss them or youll be lost),participate(he'll call randomly if you don't), practice questions, textbook questions/reading & online h.w.

This class was not easy but if you apply yourself and act like you care and show up to class, he will help you as much as you can. He comes off as a hard ass at first but he is really not and is actually very kind. If you want to pass ANY chem class and you aren't a natural at it, you're going to have to practice at home,he explains this from day 1

He is one of the best professors I ever had. He really cares about you n he helps you a lot. He can be very strict but he is also very nice and will notice your effort and dedication. You don't have to be the best in class as long as you show you are really interested he will help you. Take his class you wont regret it.

Chem 134 is a hard class! You have to put in alot of time! Brockman is an asset to suffolk!! go to extra help he gives a lot of his own free time..His tests are horrible but he is preparing you for the ACS final which is awful but I am so very glad I had the opportunity to take such a brilliant, lovely teacher to make the class bearable! Work hard!

show up to class pay attention do a lot of practice questions online and don't leave it till the last minute to study. great guy and a great teacher

He's a really great guy, very intelligent, funny, very helpful if you visit him during office hours

Great teacher of what I thought was going to be an impossible class. He made it understandable. Do the work and you'll learn a ton.

Professor Brockman is a great teacher and is always willing to help during office hours. The material can sometimes get difficult so its important to stay on top of your reading and always ask questions when you don't understand something. You can tell he cares about the success of his students and is really approachable and funny.

Professor Brockman is the man! His tests are difficult compared to labs, but if you study you should be fine. Do the homework before each test because you will get 3pts on your test. You really have to study for this class do not take it lightly.

Great teacher

Nice man

Read the chapters. Pay attention and participate in class. He doesn't try to trick to on test. What ever he covers in class will most likely be on his tests. Very helpful and accessible outside of class.

Dr. Brockman is very direct with expectations, no nonsense. He has a sarcastic sense of humor . DO THE HOMEWORK it is A MUST for the tests. DO THE READING BEFORE CLASS. He is a tough grader but tells you from day 1. Everything is scheduled in syllabus. Don't miss class or tests. "You EARN your grade, he doesn't GIVE you your grade."

Cool guy, makes everyone answer a question once in semester so he will know your name, but he flat out says he makes "the hardest tests" and isnt kidding. He also requires lab reports for every lab. He reviews plenty and is quick with emails. Loves his Gators. Encourages socializing in labs, but a tough grader none the less. Id have a beer with him

Amazing professor even though attendance is not mandatory but if you skip class you wont pass. Tests are hard but they are the good practice for the final which is going to be ACS exam. He also gives extra credit to boost up the grade.

Im very glad I took Professor Brockman. Chemistry is not my favorite subject but he made the class very understandable. He gives as much points as he can on exams and is generous when it comes to grading. I would definitely take him again

I absolutely loved this class. Professor Brockman makes Chemisty interesting and we always had fun. He makes people go up to the board and gives everyone a chance to answer questions. I wish he taught higher levels of Chem because Id take him again without a doubt. Highly recommend but be prepared to do some work.

Smart and funny guy but makes you work for your grade! He doesn't write the final so he has to prepare you as good as he can, by giving relatively hard tests. He does not try to trick you, just do the homework and study! Very approachable and tries to explain the stuff as much as he can. One of my favorite prof's so far :) Go to his office hours!

Truly cares about his students, he will spend an entire class period going over a problem with you if you ask. Makes an effort to connect with you as a person instead of just seeing you as another student ID. Calls on every person during class to make sure everyone understands the subject. Quizzes and homework every week. He's one of the best.

-Too many quizzes but it helps with the exams -Lots of homework online but its easy to do -Professor is easy to talk too he is very nice - 3 exams The only thing I didn't like was I wish he would just teach the class and stop picking on us I don't know why he cared so much about us talking in class. He also doesn't drop the lowest grade.

I actually learned something in this class .

Professor Brockman is great. Understand that he is not there to baby you he is there to teach def helps. Go to class, ask questions, and participate. There is no extra credit but do the homework, study, and do well on your lab reports to do well. Highly recommend!

He went through multiple example problems every class. He did call on students at random, but I felt it kept me on my toes. Studying is necessary, chemistry is a difficult subject - don't expect it to come easily. He was a great help to me during his office hours. You have to be comfortable enough to ask questions. Absolutely adored him.

Professor Brockman is an amazing chemistry teacher. He makes sure every student understands the material and teaches very articulately. He gets every student involved and makes class an interactive experience, highly recommend him for students who are new to chemistry.

Great professor, get ready to answer the questions he asks in class because he makes sure to ask every single person in the room different questions, very difficult class and very math heavy. If you want to do good, use the textbook.

He is an awsome guy, will love to talk about anything and help you whenever needed. The class is a difficult course though and he makes you indeed work for your grade. Though I am glad to have him he is very easy to understand and lectures are helpful and 90% of what you learn, you will need to read the texbook on your own though.

For a very hard class especially one I was not ready for, he did excellent teaching. He gives quizzes that give you three tries and homework every week or two that all boost your grade. The labs are pretty simple if you follow through. The only thing is the tests are pretty hard, but he lets you bring an index card with equations, so it is fair.
