The class is hard and the teaching style requires you to do your homework. If you actually do your homework and ask questions about what you don't understand, then you will do fine. It is frustrating at first because you are teaching yourself, but it is the only way to learn the material. Study the quizzes and you will do fine on the tests.

He is very helpful professor. The class itself is not easy and the method of the teaching, in which you have to teach yourself first, is honestly the best way to teach the material. Then, when he goes over it, its not like foreign to you. He values attendance( because there is a quiz every day) and doing your homework. Gives many review sesssions.

His class actually felt like a college level course. He grades fairly and I enjoyed the setup of how we learned subjects. His class isn't a "cake walk"- but if you truly take advantage of this learning experience then you'll truly come out with a solid work ethic that will make other classes seem like child's play!

OCHEM-Hardest class you will take. Dr C's a REALLY nice guy and humors about everything to ease things up. He encourages you to follow his detailed lesson plans(straightforward enough.) The only problem is that he gives you ALOT of independence in studying and HW. If you don't understand something, you might fall behind. Go find a dedicated tutor!!

Dr. C is a nice guy and cares about his students. I took his Saturday class and it involved a lot of self-teaching you have to be disciplined! Focus on examples because that's what he tested on. Reading(skimming) helps you understand especially if you plan to go farther in science courses. Work hard and study and get a tutor if you need the help!

The last time I took a chemistry class was in 2003. I took ochem during the summer session and was incredibly overwhelmed during the first few weeks. Dr. C is really nice, but also realistic about his expectations and difficulty of the course. He prefers independent learning, so i used crackochem and I got an A in the class.

OCHEM is a DIFFICULT class. Dr. Coppock is a great teacher. If you attend class and do the homework, you will do well on the quizzes. The only two exams were the midterm and ACS. Dr. Coppock does not give extra credit, but he does give you plenty of quizzes to cushion your grade. He also gives you hints about what will be on the quiz.

Great teacher, he's very open about how intense this course can be, and he gives great clues on how to pass the classes. Homework is optional, not graded, however if you don't do it, you'll be completely lost in class. He tends to talk a lot so if you need board work don't be afraid to ask about it. Overall amazing!!!! Recommended across the board!

awesome teacher, just pay attention. does have tendency to go off topic. otherwise easy class

Dr. Coppock is one of the wisest professors I've taken thus far. He can explain things in a multitude of ways so that anyone can understand what he is teaching. If you don't get his humor, don't take it personal. I passed his class the first time I took it and will take him again.

Dr. Coppock is a great teacher! He can explain things in several ways when you do not understand something. If you are looking for study sessions, just let him know and he will figure out a time. His tests have a lot of information on them but let's be honest, this is Organic Chemistry so you definitely need to put some studying in.

Dr. Coppock is a great teacher. My advice for anyone taking his class is to make sure that you know ALL reactions (have your index cards handy) and practice spectra. He is very blunt at times, but such is life. I basically was failing the beginning of the semester, but talked with him and found out I was studying all wrong for the test.

Dr. Coppock is one of the best organic chemistry professor at GGC. We have to come to this subject not just relying on the professor to teach but also expect to do the homework. Its going to be a challenge. However if you study + do the homework, I can't imagine anyone not passing his class with a decent grade. He's fair on his test( no surprises).

Dr. Coppock really cares about how his students are doing. He is understanding and will work with you to help you if you need it. However, he can be very sarcastic. If you don't handle that kind of humor well, then don't take him. He posts videos on Youtube for any questions you ask him and for each of the lessons. I would take him again.

Doctor Coppock is by far one of the funniest and intelligent professors that has ever graced the halls of GGC. HE is always there for his students and for anyone else that is willing to approach him. He can figure out a way to explain information for you, if you are having trouble, in multiple ways to include starting with th basic fundamentals.

Chem Is not my strong suit but Doc Coppock does make it easy to learn. Funny guy, forgiving in lateness and really breaks down and explains in depth when asked. Would recommend him if you ask. One thing I will say, you NEED to study his tests are pretty tough; well for me they were. Aside from that amazing.

Dr. Coppock assigned many homework assignments straight form the book. The exams were composed of the same questions. It is an easy class and attendance is not mandatory, if homework is completed. Highly recommend if you know what you are doing.

whoever over here complaining about him are the ones who never do their homework or even touching their books. Do the homework, if you don't get it, he will try his very best until you get it. Not asking question means you get it and he will move on. I was taking him CHEM1211K and CHEM1212K. Got A for both. He is amazing. Period.

Just ask for help if you need it. Nothing is the class is mandatory but you have extra credit for almost everything. Try to be ahead of the the deadlines which you make the class easier.

No clue why his reviews are bad but I loved him. His humor is a little strange but he was a good teacher. He is also affiliated with Kaplan MCAT. 1st half would be lecture and then work on the boards. The quizzes really helped with enforcing the mechanisms and reagents. Obvi, study and practice. Never made <90% on the exams because of bonus points.

Dr. Coppock is an interesting person.. But he definitely cares about his students when he sees the effort. I tried to stay ahead of the topics on ALEKS which is why I did so well. Even if you're ahead, he'll work problems for you in class. Gives bits of EC but also deducts for leaving class early, etc. I really enjoyed his class.

If you do the homework (and there is plenty of it) you will do great. If you don't, you won't. That simple. Ask questions, show up, do the homework. Labs are very easy as was the lab final. I'm guessing the negative reviews are from students that didn't show up and didn't do the homework. Not sure how one expects good grades without effort.

Prof. Coppock is nice and tries his best to get students to understand the material. He uses ALEKS the whole time, so get ready for that. He's very flexible as well. But, he's also SUPER extra with everything. Be sure to do ALL of the homework and labs and you will definitely exceed the class. Overall, pretty cool professor.

He uses Aleks for all of the work. If you do the homework ahead of time you don't have to come to class, and you can leave if you finish it. The tests and quizzes are the same problems as the homework. Just make sure your going back and doing the topics you "lost" after a test, otherwise you might not have time at the end.

Very good teacher, uses aleks extensively but aleks was a very helpful system so I don't blame him. Course is easy if you put in the recommended time and effort. Basically willing to help with anything at any time so if you're behind use that resource.

Had him for orgo 1 and it was the hardest class Ive had (until orgo 2, which is even harder) but I passed it the first time through. Chemistry is hard so if you dont put in the time then forget it, you wont pass, and dont blame it on your professor. Show up, listen to him, do the homework, put in the time and effort and you will get through.

Dr. Coppock really wants you to succeed. If you ask, he will help you with all aspects of the class. There is no reason for you not to do well because he is so helpful. Just write down all notes and you will get an A or B.

Just take him. One of the best professors in the chem department. If you don't do well, you didn't ask for help. No reason not to get a good grade.

get ready to do Aleks work. you do Aleks work and he will answer any question going through problems on the board. you do have to ask for problems usually. He is a nice person who definitely cares about you as a person, not just a number.

Had him for both 1211K & 1212K online. He'll teach you what you actually need to know. We used ALEKS, which was one of the best learning tools I've ever used. Get ahead of the work and don't let yourself fall behind. Ask for help and he will help you.

His class was all ALEKS, but assignments are easy. Professor provides videos on how to work out problems and gave quizzes for extra credit. If you get a 100 on the ALEKS assignments and do well in labs, you can bomb finals and still have an A in the course (talking from experience). There are bonus point allotted if you do ALEKS before due dates.

I took Coppock for organic chemistry 2 over the summer and I thought it was great! It was always helpful and really cared about every single student. The class was hard but this is expected. Read the book and do the homework.

Doctor Coppock cares more about his student's success than any other professor I have ever had. He is very understanding and kind. He gives lots of extra credit, and you will succeed if you care about the subject. He would have a perfect rating on here if he taught an easier subject, but people blame him when they find chemistry hard.

Great professor. Takes job seriously. Lots of opportunities for extra credit. Be sure to follow all instructions and you can pass the class easily. There will be a lot of homework on ALEKS but it's condensed so you only do what is necessary for the course. Overall a great class. Uses attendance as part of grades.

THIS CLASS WAS FOR PHYSICS 1101K!! He was very honest with us on day 1. I'm fairly certain that we learned more things about chemistry than physics but he was an excellent person. He practically gives extra credit away just for showing up on time to class. only 3 tests and all work was done in class so no HW. def recommend for physics.

He was great. There is a lot of work but as long as you stay on top of your work you're going to be fine. The exams were fairly easy. Final exam was also okay. He wants you to succeed. He does joke around a lot and sometimes it's a little mean but he doesn't mean to be mean.

I was transient and I took this course and This class was easy as heck, I did pretty good on my initial knowledge check, so I had less work then others. Labs were graded mostly on completion. I took most of the exams early and never scored below a 92, It was easy, BTW he uses ALEKS alot, I hate aleks too. Easy A for me.

His class was a very easy A because it's 100% structured through ALEKS and he gives a lot of extra credit/slack. It's a lot of work, and I wouldn't recommend this class to someone who struggles with teaching themselves. He's a very interesting character, but he's entertaining and he does really care about his students.

Dr. Coppock very clearly cares about the success of his students. He is very clear and concise in his lectures and uses the ALEKS software for most of the class. This is a smart software that adjusts your workload based on your performance. Resist the temptation to Google the answers and do the work.

I don't know why Professor Coppock has a mid rating, he's a really easy grader, lets you take exams a second time if you don't like your grade with no penalty. The only downside I can think of is there is a lot of homework. All the hw, exams and final are done on ALEKS. All you have to do is show up and do the work and this class is super easy.

Mr. Coppock was an amazing professor! I took him for CHEM 1152K and I loved him so much. He was funny and always saw that chem was hard and made it easier for us to understand.I would definitely take him again!!

Best option for ochem by far. 10/10 teacher. Ppl will complain about how talkative he can be but it makes the classes better because he wants to be personal and approachable. He is genuinely such a fun professor who lets his faith show. Just get to know him it is great for networking and I plan to stay in contact with him in the future.

The whole class is on ALEKS, but it's actually super helpful—it explains everything with examples. Professor Coppock gets really excited when students ask questions and explains concepts clearly. Exams (also on ALEKS) are fair, and he gives partial credit. Best to learn before lecture and come with questions. It is a lot of material but not bad.

He's a nice person , your grade reflects how hard you work in the class since everything is on ALEKS, it's self paced almost. Ask questions! He does over explain which sounds like he might be off track but just listen and take what you need .Only downfall is not keeping up with the hw, stay on top of it. Lab is not hard pretty straightforward.

Coppock is a very hit or miss professor. I loved him and am taking him again for chem 2, but I can't guarantee that everyone else will. He uses a program called aleks to do a lot for him, including essentially teaching you the new topics, but he will happily answer any questions you have about them. He is also very helpful in lab when you ask.
