142A . Reich N O 3 Months Ago

Back when I took this class, he got mad at me for asking questions in his class during an inverted classroom setup. Like “omg you don't know that?”. YES. That's why I'm asking the fricken question. Also was disrespectful in office hours. Guy has an ego as well.

I cant stand Norbert. If you can avoid taking his class please do. He has an attitude and is not patient at all with his students. It is graded so strictly. The class average was a 32%. The curve bumped me down to a 26. Please find someone else if you can.

A horrid professor, someone who cares little about you. If you're a women be cautious around him as he's known to make sexualizing remarks towards his students.

Avoid him at any cost! He brings the disgrace to this university.

CHEM141 . Reich N O 3 Months Ago

This was the worst professor I have ever had at my time at UCSB. He does not specify what the requirements are and grades based off of his personal mood/productivity. I didn't recieve any feedback on an exam as he claimed that he was "busy with research" and that I should ask other people. He has made several racist and misogynistic remarks.

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.
