Reviews of professor Nathan Scharf

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He has really bad ratings just because people don't want to do the work he requires outside of class. It's not hard to get done, it's just a little bit time-consuming. He's actually a really nice teacher and I would recommend him over the other professor for sure.

I was really nervous going into this class because of the ratings on Scharf. However, this was by far my favorite class. The content can be challenging but if you go to class and ask questions you'll be fine. He provides many resources to study for exam, which are very helpful. He is wants to help but you just have to put in some work outside class

Professor Scharf is really sweet and you can tell he cares about what he's teaching. I struggled with chemistry in high school but had no issues learning in his class. It is test heavy, I think homework only makes up 10%, the rest is exams. He has the class on Zoom if you're out. Honestly if you show up and put in a little effort, it's not hard.

Professor Scharf is THE best for chem for healthcare professions. His office hours are so helpful and he really has the best intentions for you. Literally take him. Chem sucks and is so hard but he really makes it the best it could be. Plus he spices up every class with his fun shirts especially during Christmas time.

Organic Chemistry is naturally a hard course and the lab is no exception. Tough grader when it came to the formal lab report and expectations not explicitly set but otherwise a great professor and wants us to succeed. Easy to reach outside of class.

He is a nice guy but not a great professor. Chemistry is already hard for most people and he definitely didn't help make it easier. Watching the videos at home and doing problems in class helps but that's literally all he does for his class then expects you to pass the hardest test. Many people don't do well in his class, don't recommend.

WIth such a hard class, I found it refreshing for him to be so accessible with office hours, SI sessions, and extra help. You can tell he loves what he does, and wants his students to learn and feel comfortable with the material.

This is a class full of pre-med students that have survived 2+ years of hard chemistry classes. Good luck trying to study for the 6 overall exams you will take in this class. Even if you have every detail on the slides memorized, half the exam questions will stump you, as his multiple choice questions are meant to trick you. His lectures are awful.
