INT94EI . Reich N O 10 Months Ago

Rambles a lot without making a point.

CHEM149 . Reich N O 2 Years Ago

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.

CHEM149 . Reich N O 2 Years Ago

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.

CHEM142B . Reich N O 4 Years Ago

hes nice, but not the best lecturer. He does the inverted classroom setup but then gets really distracted by random topics and ends up wasting time so you have to work harder on your own time. he also will end up arguing with undergrads and not realize hes wrong so thats frustrating TLDR: hes the super boomer. not bad just not as smart anymore

142A . Reich N O 4 Years Ago

One of the worst classes I've had the displeasure of taking. Reich does not lecture, so you have to teach everything to yourself by scouring the textbook. Smart prof, but with very flawed pedagogy. With the amount of content covered, the lack of actual lectures makes this class an enormous pain, even if you find the subject interesting like I do.

142ABC . Reich N O 4 Years Ago

For the love of god do NOT be a biochemistry major in the chem department unless you are positive you want to be a biochemistry researcher. The 1 year lab series with Kalju Kahn is 60-70+ hours of work a week and will destroy your GPA (go see his ratemyprof). Chem majors, Reich is the easier choice for 142A. Premeds, read the first sentence again.
