Reviews of professor Nicholas Dodge

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
His lectures are both extremely informative and enjoyable to watch. The type of professor/class you won't forget about after graduation. P-sets can take thinking/time, but it's fair in that he doesn't overwork you. Tbh, the only class salvaging this horrid COVID semester.

There is so much material to learn for orgo, but Dodge does a great job of helping you learn everything. His office hours are open and he does weekly review sessions outside of class. He wants his students to succeed, but you have to work for it. His class is less structured than other professors (no mandatory homework) so it's not for everyone.

I love this man. He is the best orgo prof at Vassar, don't get fooled by the Smart hype. He kinda has the mannerisms of an over-excited toddler, but in a good way. He is also incredibly smart and makes difficult material accessible. Go to his office hours! Even if just to chat. Super excited to take 245 with him next semester!!

God I love Professor Dodge. Best professor I've ever had EDIT: I made this review after first semester orgo, and I stand by it. However, my review has seriously changed after second semester (spring 2020, during which we had to go home for covid). Look at all the spring 2020 reviews and you'll see what I mean.

Dodge is the best professor at Vassar. I would marry this man if given the chance. Seriously, such a Gem...I'm taking more chemistry classes because he makes the subject fun to learn
