Reviews of professor Jim Remlinger

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I haven't taken a chem class in years so I was pretty nervous for this semester, especially because this was his first semester teaching, but I thought he did a great job. Could use a little more examples as he mostly reads from the powerpoint, but I still ended up with an A. It's a chem class, you're going to have to study, but he's a good prof.

Getting him to answer a question feels like pulling teeth. I feel like he's so smart he doesn't understand how to explain key concepts because he thinks we should just "know." Bring your textbook to class and take notes from that while he's lecturing, it's the only way you'll learn anything in class. No extra credit. Rarely shows work on the board.

All of his lectures come straight from the textbook so you really don't need to buy it. DO THE QUIZ REVIEWS!!! Some of the questions will show up on tests. He gives extra credit and is willing to explain things again if you need it. He's not a bad professor at all, just a little monotone. Would definitely take him again.

If chemistry doesn't come easy to you, don't take this professor. Boring lectures and he frequently did example problems wrong, making it hard to learn the material. Tons of online homework. However, he will answer any emails outside of class within minutes and is always willing to meet on zoom if you have specific questions.

Please for the love of God, DO NOT take Remlinger! He reads directly off the slideshows, doesnt give further information, and spaces out multiple times during a single topic/problem. He curved every exam because everyone was failing them. And if you fail an exam, you fail the class. He also grades pre/post labs way harder than necessary.

He wasnt the best, but he wasnt the worst. I feel like he didnt teach very well in his lectures, but makes good reviews for every exam. If you can commit to putting in the extra work outside of class studying its manageable!

Very willing to work with you during office hours. Provides lots of extra credit opportunities. Tests come from review quizzes. Overall, a good prof.

Very monotoned and gets confused on his own problems sometimes. Gives a lot of extra credit you can do periodically. Very sweet guy who wants his students to succeed. Will respond within a matter of minutes and will always be willing to help you understand. Tests are hard but he helps you prepare and you will do well if you put in the hard work.
