Reviews of professor James Patton

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Patton is a very knowledgeable professor and hes very understanding of students situations, making him lax with due dates. Class based on student lectures and class discussion (one presentation and three 5-page essays). He doesnt send emails about changes he made to the syllabus, which means you need to be in class or find a friend.

i loved my class with dr patton. chemistry is a hard subject but he made it as bearable as it can be. there are 3 exams and a final. each chapter has a homework assignment. you have to study for the exams because they are challenging. attend the weekly PLTL sessions. if you show up to class, pay attention, take notes, and study youll be okay.

He is a good lecturer and you can tell he loves chemistry. He answers questions well and will help you during office hours. The tests are easy if you study your notes and do the example problems he gives for each chapter. He also gives extra credit on tests. The homework is a little more difficult but doable and he extends due dates a lot.

I loved Dr. Patton. He offers up to 10 points of extra credit on each test. Tests are relatively easy if you study. I only used the textbook for problem examples. He really cares about his students and wants to help you do well. Definitely take him if you get them chance. Also, if he knows your name, you will be called on during lecture.
