Reviews of professor Donald Stringle

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He refuses to curve exams and if he sees that the class did bad I'm talking 25-30% out of a 100 BAD he will just say you need to change your studying ways and not rely on tutors. The examples he uses in class are way easier than what he gives on the exams. AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS THERE IS A REASON PEOPLE AVOID HIM.

His lectures aren't terrible but then you take his tests and realize that nothing from the lectures we're on the test. He would put random stuff on his tests that had nothing to do what we did in class. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! People would get 20s/30s and still no curve. He doesn't care about his students.

Stringle is undoubtably a brilliant man, but he is a horrible teacher. His notes and lectures are childs play and then the exam consists of something my chemist grandfather can't help me with either. He's one of those people who is just so smart but cannot communicate it.

This man ruined my life. The tests are so much harder than the material taught and we are tested on things we never learned. He barely teaches and I was stressed the whole semester. Do not take this class.

Definitely a very difficult class, but honestly never met anyone who said organic was easy.  Dr Stringle was easy to reach when I needed something.  I imagine most 1-star ratings are pre-med students who just wanted an easy A.  One cool thing: he offered extra credit for bringing items for a canned food drive around Thanksgiving.

No matter what, organic chemistry will be difficult. Prof. Stringle clearly knows his stuff; the problem is his teaching style. It's the same material as other professors (and sometimes more), but his lectures are monotone, and his notes aren't as clear. His tests are primarily based on his slides. I want to believe he's trying to improve as a prof

He is monotone, and fill in the blank slides are NOT ideal for organic chemistry. But he is not horrible and he obviously does try as a professor, I wish he could care more for us as students, and put more effort into teaching the material. When you ask him questions he somehow answers everything but the question. There are better professors.
