Reviews of professor Russell Jensen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Jensen was a great and easy to follow professor. Class began with a short quiz (based solely on lecture material), then he went over the answers, and then a quick review of the chapter. Exams are tough but bearable. He will drop your lowest quiz and exam grade. Make sure to be on time for lectures so you don't rack up zeros on missed quizzes!

As someone who's never enjoyed chemistry as a subject, Professor Jensen seemed to genuinely want to help his students understand what he's teaching and addresses any concerns students may have. Of course, he also expects students to participate, but he's understanding when it comes to late work, absences, and is very approachable as a teacher.

I really enjoyed his class and thought his lectures were engaging and well structured. Obviously, it is organic chem so if you don't put in the time it will reflect in your grade (hence why I put easy and not very easy). Very generous with his grading and wants you to do well. All things considered, I would definitely recommend his class!

I have taken both 12A and 12B with Dr. Jensen, and he was amazing. If you have any questions, then he will happily answer them. His exams were very straight forward as they were lecture based, and the exams were very fair. As long as you pay attention during lecture and take good notes, you will get a good grade.

He is an awesome dude but I would not take him for ochem. He struggled a lot bc he didn't know what he was doing. I recommend going through the book as you study bc you'd be surprised that you find so much incorrect info within the lectures. Exams were ok only bc "I" had the time to teach myself everything. Start ACS preparation the first week!!!
