Clark over all is a great professor but does need some work on his in class teaching, One on One help is where he does his best teaching, his tests are not something you can wing but if you take the time to read the book, homework, and slides most of the problems are extremely similar. Forming a Study group is the best way to pass this class.

Honestly students need to realize that O-Chem is a difficult course. Your best bet is to do the online homework, read over the chapter (really helps during homework) and do notes after lecture because they are all online. Youd be better off giving your full attention instead of focusng on getting all the notes down in 55 minutes.

This class is not particularly easy, but Travis does his best to explain it to you in class. However, the tests that he makes are pretty tough. He asks very concept based questions. The class average was a mid 60, but curved that to a C. However if there is a question you have over the material, the dude is always on campus, he'll explain it to you

Dr. Clark gets a bad rap because of the subject he teaches. Organic chemistry is a very hard concept for most people to understand , and so a lot of people begin to blame him for their poor grades. However, he quickly responds to emails and questions and writes out the notes with you in lecture. To get good grades you need to work hard and study.

Professor Clark makes learning difficult material manageable and will answer any questions that you have. He wants his students to succeed. If you pay attention to his lectures and actually put effort in, you will do well. I definitely recommend Professor Clark.

Dr. Clark is highly dedicated to his students. During the semester he was available around the clock and his door was always open. People need to stop belly aching and understand that Org Chem is really just a tough course for most people. Dr. Clark is not doing you or your future patients any favors by just giving you an A. Take his class!!

He is not as bad as I thought he was going to be. He is there to help you if you go to his office hours and show that you are actually trying! Pre-lectures and homework help you're grade if you do them.

Dr. Clark is a really nice guy and cares about students, but I think it takes it too seriously sometimes. He is super willing to help you if you go to his office, and he tries to make things easy to understand. His tests are not multiple choice, and he will take off points for small things. If you pay heavy attention to detail, you should do fine.

Everyone talks so negatively about Dr. Clark, but the class really isn't that bad. It is a challenge, but it is not impossible. Dr. Clark makes himself available for students to ask questions and he's very knowledgable about the subject. The concepts in the class are difficult, but by going to class and actually reading the book it is 100% doable

He is honestly one of the best professors I have ever had. I almost failed chemistry when I took it in high school , but passed his class with flying colors. If you spend a good amount of time actually doing the homework and studying the material you will pass the class. He is readily available to explain things and lays things out well in class.

While I was in high school, I hated chemistry and was dreading that I had to take this class. If you watch the online videos and print out the power point slides, you are in a good place. His lectures are for extra practice and you get participation points, which are helpful towards your grade. The labs are fun, but the reports are the worst thing.

I never knew I liked ochem till I took this class. WATCH THE VIDEOS. the class is not bad at all if you do what you are supposed to

The course was tough, but organic chem is going to be hard. Just PRACTICE and read the textbook you'll be fine. Also, meet with him!

Dr. Clark genuinely cares for his students you can tell he enjoys teaching. His class is difficult. It's the toughest A I ever worked for, but it was worth it. His exams are mostly written which is nice because he gives partial credit. There is smartwork homework before each class and a lot of reading. The workload is high but he's a good professor

Dr. Clark is a really nice professor and really cares that you do well in his class. He always has reviews two classes before midterms. He drops one midterm grade, which is a big grade boost. Lots of homework, but remember to do it, as it is highly weighted for your final grade. Participate in class! Very nice guy. Go talk to him if you need help.

Clark was by far the best chemistry professor I had in school. He goes through several example problems in lecture to verify understanding. He is also extremely accessible outside of lecture and responds to emails very quickly. Although chemistry can be tough, it was much easier with Clark as a professor. He also curves your final grade greatly!

As far as WSU General Chemistry professors he's probably your best bet. The class itself is a nightmare, but he does usually explain things well and he posts his full slides with notes before tests. Use the book directly for the homework, and take advantage of his pre-exam review sessions, but make sure you ask him anything you don't understand.

Dr. Clark is a great teacher. Yes the material is difficult and it requires a lot of work to succeed, but he offers countless office hours, there are SI sessions and study sessions before the exam. If you dedicate yourself, you'll do fine. He gives a curve and he responds fast to emails. He expects effort in class and for you to be prepared.

Yes, Dr. Clark is a little bit awkward, but he has a sense of humor if you get to know him. The class is very hard but a good grade is manageable if you put in the work. He has a big curve at the end. I'm currently at a 87% and all we have left is the final.

Class is very challenging! Him as a teacher is okay. If you go to him he will help but you have to come with questions.

Id give up my first born not to have to take this again. It was hard. Despite what youll hear though, Dr. Clark is genuinely a nice guy. He responds quickly to emails and provided lots of office hours. The majority of your grade are tests. The tests are hard but if you watch his videos and go to SI, youll be fine. Beware lots of homework.

Organic chemistry is hard; it's not Dr. Clark's fault. He's really fun to talk to, and is very understanding.

Travis is a super nice guy! Get on his good side and he WILL help you. He even wrote me a letter for my scholarship. However, this class was hard. Be prepared to stay up until 3 am for the grade that you want. Be prepared to cut off socializing time with friends bc of all the online HW. Lecture is mandatory.

Dr. Clark is my favorite professor. He is very nice and i promise if you go to his office hours he will help you! Attend class, sit in front, and engage. He has helped me pave the way, helped me get a scholarship, and made me fall in love with organic chemistry. This isnt easy so you must put in the work to study! Take him!

It takes a true individual to try and explain even the surface level of something as complex as organic chemistry. Hes still finely tuning this machine, but you can see he is starting to get the hang of what students can easily grasp as well as their struggles. There are many offerings for help in this class. And get a tutor as soon as possible.

Tough class but you can do well if you work hard and seek help on things you dont understand. This class had the most homework of any class Ive taken but it usually helps you learn the material. Dr Clark is very available for help outside class and explains things well.

I really enjoyed him as a person. If you show concern in your grade and go to his office hours he will definitely help. This class is not easy, but I dont think thats his fault. If you do the assignments he gives you and watch his videos and keep up on the reading you will do fine in his class!

Dr. Clark gets a bad rap but it's not his fault that Organic Chemistry is hard. The course is difficult, not the professor. He gives out videos to watch every night before class. I would say he's a fair grader. There are four exams and a final. The lowest exam grade drops. I would love to have him again if I could. He's very polite.

Hes exams are hard. He has a lot of group activities. I would highly recommend to Ask him questions and go to his office hours to see your mistakes

Professor Clark made chemistry 2 doable. I had a different professor for general chemistry 1, and did not learn nearly as much. His notes are helpful, and the tests are VERY fair. He is always willing to help outside of class. It is easy to earn an A if you put in the work. I wish I would have been able to take general chemistry 1 with him.

Dr. Clark is a fantastic prof. Ochem isn't easy, but he makes it doable. He gives a detailed schedule of the entire course w/ all due dates. In-class work/reviews are similar to exams (his lectures are very helpful). 5-point quizzes if there's no participation. Read & watch videos! Don't fall behind as it's a fast-paced course. He wants to help!

Professor Clark is the BEST professor. He is given bad ratings because the class itself is HARD. It's a lot of work, do ALL of the lectures and homework to pass. He does all he can to make sure his students pass, he is always willing to help students who put effort in. I didn't pass 2 exams, but he offered help and I ended the semester with a B.

I dreaded having to take this class because I hate chemistry. The class ended up being super easy if you follow along with his schedules. Beware of falling behind. It is definitely a hard class, ochem is hard, but Dr. Clark truly cares for students and is more than willing to help if you need it. Plus there are always LAs to help during class.

Honestly super easy class. I failed gen chem in high school so I was dreading taking this class but it turned out to be a very easy class. He is very caring and is always there to help. You do most of the work by yourself but you can always ask for help and one thing I will suggest is to NEVER FALL BACK on his pre-class assignments :)

You need to have dedication to learn because ochem is a hard material/topic to learn and cover but the professor is very helpful. He usually get's blamed when students fail his course but it's not because he can't teach, it's because those students are more than likely not putting much effort into their work. Dedication will dictate your grade.

Professor Clark is great at making sure you understand the material being covered. He has many routes to get help like SI sessions, office hours, and group sessions to ask him questions. He structures the classes so it is easy to complete work week-by-week. Uses class time to instruct and have students show their understanding through worksheets

BEST professor I have had at Wright State. Anyone who says he is lazy is mistaken. Always willing to meet to go over troubling concepts, and he was always very responsive to emails (even on the weekends). He really cares about his students and wants to see them succeed. It is a difficult class, but hard work will pay off!

Dr. Clark is one of the best professors at Wright State! I was terrified of organic chemistry, but he made it really doable! He uses a flipped classroom, so you watch videos outside of class and then he works with you on practice questions during class. His exams are the same style as the practice questions. Also, he has so many office hours.

Dr. Clark is the most conscientious professor I have come across at Wright State. He goes out of his way to provide help outside of the class. He has offices hours every day and also welcomes every walk-in students while he is in his office. If you are complaining about your grades you probably didn't put in enough effort. Suck it up buttercup!

I was someone who sucked at chemistry. I failed all chemistry classes before this one. He provides SO many resources. Anyone who says he was a bad professor just wasn't using the resources to their advantage. Lot's of videos to watch but if you watch them, they're easy to understand. He does applied work in class which helps. Just put in effort.

Professor Clark's CHEM1020 class is challenging but manageable with dedication. The flipped classroom model requires extensive pre-class prep, but he provides ample support through study sessions and office hours. Using Unstuck ai alongside the textbook helped me stay on top of the workload.

Class was lightwork, if you put effort into the class, you are guaranteed to succeed. This teacher works tremendously to give his students difficult and interesting practice problems that he then works through in class and puts a lot of effort in creating awesome test. All of these negative reviews are wrong if you get to know Dr. Clark.

Such an enjoyable class and a kind professor willing to take time to help each student personally. Everything on exams has been taught and practice, putting in the time and effort will result in a good grade.

One of the best professors at Wright State. He cares so much about his students and has a passion for learning. I don't understand how some wouldn't like him.

Objective review: Cons Lots of work outa class Preclass assignment is tedious Flipped classroom (it's kinda necessary) overly Difficult exams (& no multiple choice) hard to do well if taking many classes Pros VERY available out of class If you do what he tasks u with u acc learn ochem He's nice & not intimidating posts previous exams drops 1 exam

You have to put time in after and before class, if you can do that you will succeed. He is very accessible outside of class via office hours, help sessions, and over email. I appreciated his teaching and his attention to detail. He does give partial credit on exams.

Organic chemistry is a difficult class, without plenty of at-home practice, there is just no way to do well in this course. In my opinion, those who dislike Dr. Clark just do not want to do any work. He literally gives out free points for attendance and pre-class assignments. Dr. Clark is a great professor and I truly enjoyed his class!

Dr. Clark was an excellent professor. He really cares about his student's success and supports his students through daily office hours and help session before exams. The material is difficult, but using all available resources will ensure success in this class.

Dr. Clark does chemistry very differently. Most class content is though videos you watch before class, exams are fully open ended, and he considers an exam average of 50% to be good. I think this can put people off a little who were expecting something like gen chem, it is much harder. But it is also the highest quality class I have ever taken. 5/5

Very kind, caring, helpful, and available for students
