He hasn't taken into consideration that he doesn't teach at Harvard anymore. His tests are very difficult and reflect his overwhelming knowledge and prior teaching experience at Harvard. His focus seemed unclear. take him if you want to work hard!

Extremely intelligent man, willing to stay before/after to help you or clarify a question you may have. Do your homework, WRITE AND UNDERSTAND his problems he gives at the beginning of class. His brain is in another layer of the universe and you can't always grasp the concepts. Difficult - got an A but worked as though the rent was due yesterday!

I will agree that he really knows his Chem- great teacher. However I didn't like that you only had 2 exams and your final. The exams were 50% of your grade and your final was another 50%. He could have given more exams to give more opportunity to get better grades.

This class was very HARD!! Only Science majors should take this class. I was only taking Chemistry to meet my science requirement as I am a business major. What a mistake! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU ARE NOT A SCIENCE MAJOR. It is really tough, a lot of work and lot of problems. I dropped it after I got a 16 on the first test.

An awful teacher. So much information thrown at you for the exams. I studied so hard. His tests are brutal. He knows his stuff, but I feel he is detached from the students trying to grasp the concepts. It didn't help that the Timberlake book was a joke. DO NOT TAKE MR. FOX if you are a Nursing major.

Not an easy class, his tests are hard. He expects you to know chemistry so he can only review a couple of things. Easy A if you know this stuff but if you dont know the basic stuff allready dont expect to learn it from him. He doesnt take attendance, he gives homework but does not check it. Grades are based on tests only so teach yourself & study!!

He knows his stuff, but cannot relay it in an effective way. I love chemistry and I hated it while in his class. Cannot lecture in normal terms. Makes everything complicated. DO NOT take him.

Need to keep up with class lec. & homework. Ask questions and make sure it's relevant. Very interesting class, but it is chemistry so either you need it or you don't.

The subject is tough, not the teacher. He explains things good, but it's just a hard subject to comprehend. You must take all the tests (there are 4) and the final. the final is 50% of your final grade BUT most of the final that I took was multiple choice from the 4 chapter tests that we took. So the final was really easy to get an A on.

When a professor's first words to a class are "I want to give you a test as soon as possible so that we can get rid of some people and move to a smaller classroom" you know you're in trouble. I thought he was useless and that the class was a waste of time. Tests are NOT multiple choice. I didn't respect him at all after that first comment.

Dr. Fox's Chemistry classes can be quite challenging since he expects the best from his students.

50% of your grade is determined from final exam. It is just not right. There should be more exams and quizzes like others professors.

Tends to go too much in detail when talking about certain topics. Wants you to know how they came about but confuses students. Study your tests for the final (is 50% of your grade).

He expects all students to know the information before hand. Out of 40 students only 3 passed the class. Most of the information he lectures, is not on the exam. The only way you can pass the class is by first, be a chemist, read the entire book a few times, and even then you are most likely going to fail the exam. By far the worst proffesor!

best teacher I had in BC, he will answer every question you have about chem even if it does not have to do with the immediate subject, this however is a very hard class, but as long as you do what he says on the homework, you will be fine, if you miss a lecture however, it can be devastating. just pay attentio and do the homework. you will get an A

Skip class? You won't pass.

THIS CLASS IS JUST TESTS. He knows how to teach chemistry. You NEED to be there for every lecture and UNDERSTAND what hes teaching. ASK QUESTIONS! If your major is chem heavy, you should take this class. honestly, if you aren't in the STEMS field, you should look else where. He is my favorite Professor from BCC, ATM, TAKE THIS CLASS IN PERSON!!!!
