Reviews of professor Alex Ketchum

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Ketchum is an amazing professor. Though this is a difficult class, he makes orgo concepts as easy to understand as possible. Gives a lot of extra credit which boosted my grade a lot. A very fair grader and will take the effort to get to know you. If I could've taken him for orgo 1, I would have. Go to office hours! He'll give hints for exams!

He seems as if he doesn't want to be there. He speaks quietly so you can't even understand what he's saying. His class is incredibly boring and is hard to follow. The only grades we receive in the class is 7 point quizzes and 20 point exams so it's hard to get a good grade.

I didnt enjoy having this class at all. He explained it in a really hard way to understand it and when asked a question, wouldnt know what to say. When I went to his office to go over my quiz with him, he didnt have it and said it was at Eastern. Grades are put in slow and you wont know your grade till it is too late to do anything about it.

As long as you are willing to put in work Alex is the only prof to consider taking. He's laid back during lectures yet still manages to thoroughly teach material. He really understood what its like in a student's shoes which allows him to slow down when we need help and his willingness to help outside of class. I wouldn't take any other prof at OU.

Alex Ketchum is HORRIBLE. He seems very uncomfortable talking in front of large crowds and repeatedly stops during lecture just to stare off into blank space. The class mainly consists of quiz and test grades along with your overall lab grade which is ridiculous. Also, he is a visiting assisting professor so he only reads off the slides.

Dr. Ketchum is my FAVORITE PROFESSOR AT OU! Very nice to talk to when you need help on the assignments. Makes you feel comfortable to ask questions in class. Actually cares to learn his students names. Yes he gives extra credit but this is a hard class so do not slack off. Overall I would take another class with him.

He is a really good professor and cares about the subject. Mostly he just teaches off powerpoints, but is helpful with answering any questions. The downside is that he is slow to put grades in. Take this professor if you can.
