CollegeNorbert is an exciting teacher and the best in the biochem sequence so far. His tests have multiple choice + short answer. Tests are reasonable not hard if you study the textbook and class notes. Norbert is very interested in his work and makes enzymology and genetics exciting.
I have never had a professor have more unclear guidelines of what he was expecting from his students. He is the opposite of motivating and extremely discouraging. Bottom line, he is just mean.
He is misogynistic and does not care about his students. All he cares about is his research. He has VERY unclear instructions and guidelines so you never know what you are supposed to be doing. He is completely unbearable
Rambles a lot without making a point.
His grading rubric was not clear at all. The assignments were graded very subjectively by him and his TA. A lot of reading and writing is awaiting if you want to attend CHEM 149.
Absolutely the most disorganized and least caring professor I have ever seen. Strangest grading and sometimes even breaks promises. Avoid him at all cost. Too bad for rmp to not have 0 as an option.
