Reviews of professor Stephen Cartier

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
PROFESSOR CARTIER!!!!! Not only is he an amazing professor who can explain the concepts many ways to help you understand them, but he is also so caring and genuine and loves getting to know his students (with great jokes, too). He somehow made the most difficult class/subject I've ever taken a 10/10 experience. It was hard, but I learned so much!

Cartier is amazing! His exams are hard, but he will help you find good study tips for your learning style. His office hours are very useful and he has 1-on-1 office hours too. The lecture videos are not deep but watching them twice at 2x speed makes class packets easier. It's not true AP or IB chem students do better, I took neither and got an A.

Although Cartier has a lot of office hours, I never felt prepared for ANY of his exams including the final. His lectures and lecture videos barely go explain concepts in detail, so be prepared to be confused during the exams and his homework assignments. Things that are barely emphasized in lecture appears in exams which is very annoying.

His tests are very difficult. Class averages on tests are low and his lectures barely go into detail and do not explain concepts in detail, but we are expected to understand the material on a deep level. The lectures barely explain concepts in detail. I wish he lectured more and explained concepts better for exams and in general.
