great proffessor and he's very helpful!

I love Dr.Metzger. Extremely nice! Very helpful with questions. Not very clear about homework requirements or exam material though. You have to like metabolic pathways to enjoy the lectures. Dont have grade in class yet..We'll see

The only way to pass the his classes is to go to office hours daily..which is hard if you're busy. Avoid him, but if you can't try really hard to keep up, and learn from other sources. You just have to get through it..and go to class!

He is a really nice guy and knows his stuff, but he's not very good at teaching. His lectures are unorganized and he digresses a lot. You just basically have to work extra hard and go above and beyond your regular efforts.

Metzger is a really nice professor, but going to his lectures do not help. In order to get this chemistry down packed you have to go to his office hours, and set up study groups. I worked my ass off in this class, and I ended up with a B...

A brilliant professor who tries his best to help students when asked. Go to his office hours! I think most students blame the professor because the course itself is hard. Indeed organic chemistry is hard and complex even if it was taught by another professor. He also has a VERY generous curve.

He is a very kind professor, generous curve for the class. Be prepared for lectures-- use his book to take notes in to save time to allow you to write down his explanations. Be prepared to work HARD-no matter who teaches it, ochem is hard. GO TO OFFICE HOURS--he explains much better with smaller groups and helps with HW. See TAs too- they're GREAT!

People should stop whining because his class is not that hard to pass with an A or B if you take initiative and are sincerely interested in doing well without already giving up because other people **** and whine about him. If you go to office hours to clarify the homework and at least half of the tutoring session you will do well. I got an A

He is a sweetheart and is always willing to help. The important thing is that he wants you to understand the material not just "barf it up" as he says to get a good grade. Work hard and you can earn a good grade. He is no where near as bad as people say, they are just lazy.

Professor Metzger is very compassionate.. His class may be hard to understand when he is speaking but if you look over the notes and practice test it is really easy. Very generous in curve and cares for his students.. HE actually wants them to do well!

Metzger can be confusing in lecture, but if you go to office hours and set up help sessions, and STUDY THE CLASS READER, you will do fine.

Metzger is confusing in class, but in office hours he is very helpful. If you study out of his class reader and put out a little effort, you can get a good grade. It isn't a class that just comes to you though, you must put out SOME effort.

Metzger's class is very do-able as long as you attend class and his office hours. Lecture sometimes is overwhelming, but you HAVE to take time to talk to him. Give him a chance to help you because he does so very well. Great Professor, quite funny too!

GREAT Professor!!! Chemistry is hard in general... Lectures can be confusing but if you go to his office hours or tutor, you will do fine in the class. He is willing to help and cares about his students. Class is curved. Study lecture notes and practice exams.

He is confusing at times in lecture. Go to his office hours. He is not at all bad. Just go to class and pay attention.You dont even need to buy the text book.Just make sure to pay attention in class and go over the notes and you will do very well.Chemistry is not an easy subject so you can't expect to get an A in the class without putting in effort

Metzger is a very helpful teacher. Go to his office hours atleast once a week and go over homework, old tests, and confusing material! he will do whatever he can to help his students succeed! buy his small study book! it is the basis for lectures and has helpful practice tests and reading material dont buy blei book unless you already boughtit

Metzger knows his stuff but is a bit unclear sometimes in lecture. Go to class and take notes. Go to his office hours and ask for help. Review the previous exams. Put in the effort and you will easily get an A.

Easy A class if you put the effort into it. Make sure u go over his book that he wrote. the practice exams r exactly like his exams. so memorize them and u'll get an easy A. good luck.

the lectures help for the first 2 exams and then the last 2 pretty much study his manual or go to tutoring, don't bother to buy the book,easy exams which are the same as old ones so get a hold of them, pretty entertaining at times so you'll enjoy him

Funny professor.

easy A teacher. just pay attention to lecture and study off his book he wrote and you will do fine. make sure you understand and not just memorize off one of the old exams. memorizing will only on a couple of questions on the exam. the rest you NEED to understand the material.

I went into this class with the impression (that i got from other people) that it is one of the hardest classes to take. But the homework groups help out a lot as long as u have a good one. I never really went to class because I never understood what he was talking about. But if you go to his office hours or some other of the TA's and tutors everyt

o chem is a hard subject PERIOD. u need to study ur butt off to get an A. yes, metzger is a bit unclear sometimes but he does anything he can to help out students. go to class because he will tell you what will be on the exam. MEMORIZE his book and you will do fine. generous curve. take him.

Those who are lazy need not take this class, because you will fail. But those who are willing to learn and accept a challenge then I recommend Professor Metzger. He is helpful, yet the class is not easy, but neither is life. I'm enrolled in his class and I have an A/B average. I hope to leave with an A.

The class is not easy, but if try to understand the material and not just memorize it you will do fine. Metzger is a cool guy, who likes to crack jokes for his own amusement.

Hard subject, but a great professor to teach it. He goes out of his way to help his students. I got an A, but I busted my a$$ to get it. It can be done, good luck!!!!

Great & very helpful professor/person. First chemistry professor I've had who ACTUALLY made sense. Don't psych yourself out. OChem isn't as deadly as people make it out to be. An A is definitely attainable, as long as you put enough effort to UNDERSTAND (not just memorize) the material. Use office hrs/tutor sessions, too. Good luck!

Very hard subject. You need to work hard to get a good grade. Metzger is nice and helpful especially during his office hours. Go to the TA sessions!! It helps a lot. Or at least hire a tutor. There's several homework assignments, but you get to do them in groups.

It's a hard class, so you have to work hard. This is Organic chemistry, what were you expecting? He is very apprachable is and willing to help. Go to the T.A tutoring sessions and study, study, study. I pulled off an A-; do the homework and attend every class. Ask him questions if something is unclear!

It's not an easy class, which means, you WILL need to study. I got an A-, and i studied my butt off. I would recommend going to the 3 study sessions before each test (if they are still offered); if you are at all confused about anything, go to his office hours, plus he gives you hints on what's going to be on the tests. Good luck!!!

Professor is funny! This class is hard but he curves very lenient!! Helps you out so much whenever you ask. Also get a tutor, it'll help you too. LAB REPORTS and HOMEWORK are easy ways to get points. I took the class without taking any chem before and I did great, go to the lectures and STAY!

Nice guy but very confusing lectures. He's there for help but you have to take the initiative. Highly recomend taking Chem 100 first espescially freshman.

He was confusing ya but if you study and reviewing his ppt slides and going to all his office hours and Gabe before the tests you should be fine his tests are spit image of da prac tests!!!! he tends to go off tangent but you will start to get the hang of it in no time. He is open to any ?'s you may have but its tough it depends on u but gd stuff!

Wahhh, I didnt understand chem whatsoever when entering this class. Never went to lectures, Labs are lots of fun, but only if you get Victoria Almazon. Go to Gabe, he's the only way I passed with a B. Also make sure you find and befriend smart people that know their stuff from the getgo and be their homework partners! That halped my learning ALOT.

Hope that all your professors care as sincerely as Dr. Met. Don't listen to the negative talk; do your own work; attend all lectures and take notes; do the homework yourself and THEN go to Gabe's sessions; never miss an opportunity to get extra help; don't be a hater; do the practice exams twice and READ THE TEXTBOOK. Grntd A to avg intelgnce.

This class is definitely a LOT of work, but if you put in your effort (a LOT of effort), it will pay off. He tries to prepare you for real situations that will happen when you become a nurse. He wants you to succeed as long as you do your part. Take the time to ask questions, he will help you. STUDY! I give him a red chili pepper!

I, for one, thought Dr. Metzger was great! Sure, the class was hella boring, but I think that's just because the subject being taught is hella boring. You get a hang of his teaching style, and it's really not that hard to get an A because all you need is a 83%. (But do take advantage of supplemental help.) Dr. Metzger is super funny too! (:

Metzger is extremely helpful and all of the people who constantly complain are just lazy..if you don't come to class and don't pay attention in lecture, if you don't help your group with the homework, then obviously you will not do so great. Do your work & youll do just fine.

This teacher and course can be pretty boring. Lectures are super long and dull. Make sure you get into a group that's dedicated to getting a good grade, because you guys will b doin some tough homework. Definitely go to Gabe's review before the exams, it's worth the money! Good luck guys =]

Dont believe the lazy people who complain, an A is very possible. He is nice & caring professor willing to help. 5 ways to succeed: 1) Go to all of his office hours, he gives out answers and explains things 2) GO TO GABE'S TUTORING 3) Work together with other people on hw & in lab. 4) Go to lecture, sit in the front, listen to him 5) STAY MOTIVATED

this cause is not hard. you just have to learn how to take short cuts to get the answer and not really think about "how" to do it. lecture does not help. get a good homework group, and do the practice tests because that is what the real test looks like. go to gabe!

I took Chem 100 prior to this class and it helped a ton. Got an A in the class by attending every lecture, going over my lab report every week with my TA to make sure I got 20/20 and NOT relying on him for help. Collaborate with other people and get help from your TA's when you don't understand a concept!

How to get an A: go to lectures and office hours, do all your lab work, get into a good hwk group and study with smart people. A is doable, you can fail 2 exams and still get an A if you do really well on the other exams. Big curve at the end. Get a tutor bc they are much better at explaining things than Metzger (seriously).

don't even need to go to class or study, tests are common sense pretty much easiest chem class ever

This class really isn't hard at all. The tests are common sense, lectures really aren't necessary, and the amount of studying required for the tests is minimal. I ended up getting an A in the class despite not studying for tests or going to class, and I'm just a regular guy

Metzger's very intelligent but the class is pretty difficult mostly because the book tends to omit steps necessary for understanding. You better be prepared to teach yourself. I went to all of his office hours, got a tutor, and repeatedly studied practice tests and homework. After all that, I got an A. It's not too bad, you just need discipline.

Good Teacher

Great teacher! Great Curve!! He is very nice!!! and Fair

For those who are not willing to put in the work, this class will be difficult. Metzger is fair and very accessible. Big curve at the end so an A is possible.

Metzger is such a sweet old man! He's extremely helpful to those who seek his help. Do not slack off and really try to understand the concepts. This was a difficult class, but with TIME AND DEDICATION you'll do well. You can't slack off. Good luck!

This class is purposely made to weed out people who can't handle the work load. Going to office hours are a must, and probably even more important than lecture. However, he is a cool professor and helps anyone who asks him. Definitely one of the hardest classes I've ever taken. When you take this class, make room for all of his office hours.

Professor Metzger is a dedicated professor. He answers ALL of your emails-makes time to meet with anyone who requests it. This is a VERY difficult class and you MUST study everyday and use resources outside of the texbook(s) to gain compete understanding. His tests are very challenging. YOU MUST GO TO ALL office hours - both TA and Professor.
