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.

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.

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.

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

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.
