Reviews of professor John Fisk

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This course is also a very difficult course, and he makes it 10x harder. He does not know how to teach at all. He basically reads word for word off of his slides. He rarely does examples and if he does he doesnt explain them s they do not help. His tests are long and hard. He expects you to read a chapter for basically each class. Worst prof ever

I thought he was a very good professor, if you are willing to dedicate time to the class. Homeowrk is representative of tests. For his exams he does a 25 point pad and applies a curve on it, so if you fail its honestly your fault. . The students that complain tend to be the students who seldom show up to class.

I took this class as a prerequisite to medical school. Everything I learned in this class I saw again in OCHEM II and I was very prepared to do well in OCHEM II. Content of OCHEM is very difficult, but he moved through it very systematically. The homework was pertinent and was provided as a learning tool. The exams were designed like the homework.

Fisk is not the best lecturer... However, if you make a C or less in this class, then you just didn't try. He gives a lot of homework that if you redo and annotate will earn all of your points back. He also curves like crazy. The average was a 40% for exams 2 and 3, which he curved to a B. All lectures are on Canvas making class only an option.

To make this short, dosent even grade his own exams, all classwork is outside homework. Extremely homework heavy, 50% class average. Focuses primarily on the students who get the content and bases class understanding on them. Doesnt even sound confident in what he teaches. Basically have to pay for chads prep to actually learn the content. 0/10

Professor Fisk honestly makes Organic Chemistry horrifying. The class is seemingly clear but as the semester goes he contradicts several of his own grading criteria listed in the syllabus. Makes you grade your own homework and calls it "engaging" when it's actually just lazy. Doesn't offer much feedback and blames the students for low scores.
