Reviews of professor Clinton King

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. Such a nice guy and great chemist but DOES NOT know how to teach! I had to teach myself almost everything and the test Q's were so ambiguous and confusing! He will go over all the information way too fast and doesn't explain things well. HW is long but you will get full credit.

I took Gen Chem 1 Lab from him. He was very helpful, he helps you get your Data Analysis done. Quizzes are online, with multiple attempts. Notebook is graded in-class, but basically you just have to write down only the procedure. Reports are turned online. The final is in-class and Open Notebook.

Professor Clinton is a good guy. Chemistry is a really tough subject (I've taken anatomy at UVU and this class is just as hard) but he's really willing to answer questions. Sometimes he makes mistakes on the tests which can be confusing. All in all I think he's just trying to figure it out as he goes which is fine.

Ugh. He is a very nice man and he cares about you, but he's not a great teacher and he can be confusing. Maybe more confusing than just trying to learn the material yourself. I did not enjoy his class, it felt like a waste of time. He also was a little impatient and rude when you tried to get help after class. I would find a different teacher.

Professor King is very scatterbrained and spends most of the class repeating himself. He can be funny and he's compassionate, but he's not a good instructor. If you take the lab, be prepared to read the textbook if you're taking him. Nice guy, but too much time is wasted in class and the material isn't clearly covered or for long enough.

There aren't enough good things I could say about Dr. King. He has handled COVID splendidly, and genuinely cares about the success of his students. The class was clear, well-taught, and I learned more about organic chemistry from lab than I ever did from lecture. If I could take him for every chemistry lab course, I would.
