Reviews of professor Lucas Beagle

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
60% of your final grade is exams, and 30% is the ACS final, so definitely do not mess around in this class. However, Dr. Beagle is extremely accessible outside of class and will do anything he can to help you out, if possible. O Chem in general, just isn't a fun class, but Beagle made it tolerable.

Professor Beagle is a nice guy, but his teaching style is just bad. The tests are difficult. The lectures are taken directly from the textbook. The assignments are posted randomly, and it is easy to miss them. The recitation quizzes are generally much harder than the questions covered in recitation. I took AP Chem in high school that helped.

This professor is unapproachable and rude. He writes his own tests and the average usually is somewhere between a 50 and 60 but he doesn't curve the grades. It is extremely hard to get anything over a C and over half of the students in his classes dropped halfway through the semester. He is very inconsistent with assignments but expects them done.

Class was a mess! Beagle provided no supplementary material (he had to be pressed to give the SI a practice exam) and his lectures are from the book. Meanwhile, his exams and quizzes had problems that came out of nowhere. I mostly taught myself and went to workshops/SI. Rather than curving through the year, he dropped a lot of grades at the end...

He is a really nice guy but the tests are nearly impossible. He does not curve and the averages are extremely low. There is a lot of homework but is not worth a lot of points. The class notes are nearly impossible to read or follow.

I had Professor Beagle for Chem 123 and 124. Ill admit, the first semester, he was awful. He was rude, insulting, and wouldnt answer questions. With that being said, hes gotten much better. Hes nicer, more welcoming, and helps more. His lectures are more organized and original. First semester, I got a C+, this semester, an A.
