Reviews of professor Eric Akyea

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I would not recommend anyone and everyone to ever take this professor. If you have a hard time with a language barrier, he's not the professor for you. If you have a hard time teaching yourself chemistry, this class is not for you. His grading is very inaccurate, with lab partners receiving different grades as well as on homeworks.

Not a good teacher. Doesnt do much more than just read directly off of he slides. Doesnt respect students time, regularly run over time for class. Often treats students more like high school students than adults.

He's a bit difficult to understand, and the class is definitely lecture heavy, but he does help us out and gives AMAZING pre tests. I mean, if you can do them, you can do the exams (even the final). Overall definitely a difficult class, lots of hw, kinda hard to understand, long labs, but if you put in the time you can definitely pass+ bring food

Of all my teachers k-12 and all of my professors in college Dr. Akyea is without a doubt the worst educator I have ever had. He is very nice, but CANNOT teach. I have to teach myself 98% of the material on youtube. He offers his time if you email him, but doesn't respond back via email. Choose another professor, ANY other professor.

I can't express how much I regret taking this professor's chemistry class. You're worried more about formatting the equations the way he wants rather than learning the material. He runs the class as a dictatorship, it's his way or you're getting a zero. PLEASE switch out of his class if you can.

Even though Eric has an accent, it is not so hard to understand for me. He is extremely talented, accepts assignments a week past its due date, and use powerpoints to teach. If you read the study guide well and do the homework, I'm sure you will get better grades. You can drop one bad exam grades too. Pretty hilarious and always ready to help.

If math is not a strength, I would highly suggest taking this class with another teacher. The homework is laborious but it is the only way you will be prepared. He is very strict on if you can be late, or when you can leave class, etc. Creates barriers for students like needing access to Excel and he is sarcastic. I wouldnt recommend him.

If you learn best by looking at a powerpoint and have the time and ability to teach yourself a lot of content then you should be fine. Homework is difficult but is VERY necessary for understanding exams, but he is clear on what will be on the exams. He is kind and willing to work with you.

He regularly runs over class time, and does not give proper breaks for his 8 hour classes. He is unreachable for questions and will tell you to just get a tutor. He expects you to know your way around Excel and if you don't you're going to relieve points off of your homework and lab experiments. Be prepared to teach yourself!
