Clarke wants you to succeed, but chemistry is very difficult. He is always available for office hours, where he can be much more helpful, because for lecture there's too much to cover to slow down.

Clarke will help students a lot. The class is difficult, and Clarke doesn't make the class easier than it should be, it's just right. Most people don't get an A because the class is just really hard.

I had him for organic chem during spring/summer and it was way better than the class I failed at another school. I actually understood it with Clarke teaching. He did offer tutoring to help. Tough subject, it took me a lot of time to read and understand. Best to read before class so you can ask questions.

Highly recommend. Good teacher. Has high standards but is worth it.

I really liked Nagash. He explains things very clearly and does a lot of practice problems in class. He definately makes it very easy to understand. I highly recommend him.

CEM 090 was a breeze but CEM 111 is much more difficult. Mr. Clarke tends to get a little too personal and take things too personal. He is an intelligent person but not the most understandable. He will definitely make you feel dumb at times. He's a good guy but will probably look for another instructor for Organic CEM.

Clarke's lectures are easily understood- the more broad, abstract concepts are cleared up when he works through more specific problems. He sets the standard (esp. for labs) high. Turned in work must be high quality (or perfect). This can be frustrating, but it made me pay attention to detail and in effect- made me a better student. I recommend him.

Very good, class is VERY difficult, but he makes it as easy and fun as possible. I took him for 090 and 111 and plan to take 211 with him as well. If you're willing to work hard and ask questions (he's always available for consultation) you'll do fine. I would definitely recommend him;he has clear lectures and goes through alot of practice problems

Nice and easy, very helpful

I actually enjoyed his teaching of Chemistry!

I enjoyed him as a teacher. Only reason I got a C was because I decided to take the class in the Spring. That was my fault. His class was straight up fun and he was helpful in helping you out with hard problems. Cannot wait to take him in Organic Chemistry

I loved his method of teaching. I was able to pass with flying colors when I had failed at another university. He answered all of my questions (I ask alot). Use your resources from the class and show up and you should be fine... Highly recommend

Professor Clarke is the man! He makes organic chemistry fun, while remaining rigorous. I will remember his orgo 2 class for the rest of my life. He does require a student to learn the material, which is aggravating to some, but they should piss off.

This is definately a hard class. You have to make it to all the classes and labs, take notes, and study hard. Mr. Clarke is there to help. You just have to communicate w him. Ultimately, he wants to see you do well. Stick it through to the end and don't give up.

Mr. Clarke is one of my favorite teachers ever! He's very funny and approachable, willing to answer questions and actually cares about his students. The class is rigorous but not impossible, and he's generous with extra credit. Lectures are good, but you will also need to study the textbook to do well. I'm taking orgo 2 from him.

I took Mr. Clarke for Chem111 this semester and passed with over 100% . He gives tons of extra credit on his tests and quizzes. The online homework sucks, but its required by the school. The people who did pass the class were the ones that we never in study hall. Take Nagash. The class was super entertaining too. Nagash is quite the character

He is a good teacher in the classroom but almost impossible to reach outside of the class for help. If you r in a bad shape and are asking for a little grace, you will definitely not get it. he had given us some assignments in class that weren't on the syllabus and you were out of luck if you weren't there

Clarke is the man. He tries to make the class fun and is very interested in the subject matter. Read the text book and you can get through this class pretty easily.

He is the best professor I have ever had in any subject. He cares about his students beyond the classroom and even went out of his way to set me up with graduate programs that would suit my interests. Study hard, and don't be intimidated by the material. Just because the class is difficult does not mean that he isn't a phenomenal instructor.

I took him for Orgo 1 and am back for Orgo 2 now. Mr. Clarke is wonderful. *Clear grading criteria *provides slides online so you can print and follow along with during lecture. *Exams are tough but doable, just have to come to class and READ the textbook. *His labs are really fun, first time in my life I've ever loved a lab!

He's pretty funny and cool, my most memorable professor at wcc for sure. Doesn't give great grades though

Cares about his students and wants them to do well. I started off doing poor and he reached out to me to come get some help. Made himself very accessible outside of class and office hours. Great guy and he tries his best to make lecture as interesting as possible. Orgo is hard af regardless so If you want to pass though you gota read the book.

Really nice guy, only had him as a lab instructor so I can't speak towards his lecture abilities. Very funny and approachable, and super understanding and friendly. I plan to take more classes from him in the future.

Professor Clarke truly cares about his students, but you have to earn your grade. Participation definitely matters. Do not be afraid to get up and write your answer on the chalkboard because it will help you learn. Tests were difficult, but he gives you the resources to do well on them. Be very careful on your lab reports - he's a tough grader.

If you can't handle Nagash, you cannot handle the real world. He will test and challenge you. This is chemistry. It wasn't written just for fun. It was discovered through tons of work by the likes of Mendeleev and Curie. I encourage you to look them up. The first wrote the periodic table. The second died discovering the first radioactive elements.

Be ready to get tutoring and outside help because you teach yourself a lot of the material which sucked. He is a wonderful person tho and is willing to help. He holds study sessions Tuesday and Thursdays every week.

Incredible. Best professor I've ever had. He spent his time while proctoring exams reading "Journal of Organic Chemistry Education", not playing candy crush. He worked with EVERY. SINGLE. student to make sure they learned the material fully. I learned so much. After transferring to University, the professors there were so much worse. Clarke is 100.

Mr. Clarke is pretty dope. He has a sense of humor for sure and lectures well however you must come to class every day or you're going to fall behind. Responds to emails quickly, always willing to help and let you know where you went wrong. Grades come mostly from tests so you have to be prepared. Took him again, highly recommend.

Mr. Clarke is an amazing instructor. Lectures are very fast paced and he will move on if there are no questions. IF YOU DONT ASK QUESTIONS he will continue and will not lecture over that material again. Test are difficult if you dont put more time than you think you need to (go 3-4 hours over). Lastly go to office hours and study sessions if able.

Clarke is very helpful and a great prof. You have to go to class and participate to succeed. There's no HW, but a lot of EC. The tests are challenging but to pass, study the old 100Q exams online well in advance, they're not worth points but they are a great tool. He gives short study guides, they're not helpful, but do them for EC

if you put the time in and show you care he will help you succeed

Mr. Clarke is overall a nice instructor who makes his online classes fun and enjoyable. He is also quite tough in terms of lab grading tho.

He is a GOOD teacher. He DOES teach. He works with you individually if you approach him. He is patient and guides you until you get it. Print out his activity sheets, take notes on the print outs, study, do the EC quizzes, and the labs. He is unfair abt the labs tho. I saw him kick out 2 different kids on lab day for BS reasons.

God help you if your prelab isn't nearly perfect, he will straight up kick you out of lab in front of everyone, no mercy. Although I mostly enjoyed the class, Prof. Clarke has a decent sense of humor, lectures were not boring and even enjoyable if you participated. Labs(if you survived the prelab) were fun. Not an easy class, but learned a ton!

Went way out of his way to help me when I was struggling. Great guy. Would recommend to anyone who wants to take CEM111

He knows the subject and teaches it quite well, was as lenient as you can be for multiple choice tests. CEM111 is a material-heavy class, so you will need to write down and go over everything regardless.

I took organic chem with prof. Clarke last spring. I loved it and the way he taught the class. As a student who struggled in Gen Chem and was slightly better in Gen Chem2, I excelled in orgo thanks to prof Clarke. Just pay attention, read the textbook, do practice problems :)

Took this course after dropping Chem 210 at Umich. This was a summer class so it was fast-paced as it squished everything in a few weeks. However, Prof. Clarke did a fantastic job explaining the important parts of this course. His class notes were very straightforward, and I learned so much using the supplemental textbook! Best orgo prof I have had

I had Dr. Clarke for lab. Not sure about lecture, but he was awesome for us. He was super understanding and gave us clear criteria. I got 20/20s on all my labs except for one. He offered help if you needed it and even offered up hours for our class when he heard that our lecture professor wasn't great. 100% would take again. Just do pre labs.
