Reviews of professor Benjamin Sherman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Amazing professor. He teaches how to write a report like an academic paper, so it's very helpful for future writing. Lectures are information-heavy, but he explains stuff very clearly. He gives very specific feedback for the reports that would surely help your writing. Young professor, so lots of room for improvement in the future.

Dr. Shermans actually a really cool guy. I liked the class because of him, and while it is more challenging than the other chem professors in my opinion, he's super nice about partial credit. As long as you know whats going on he's pretty nice about it while the other professors mark it all wrong. Plus, grades super fast.

Dr. Sherman is a great option for Gen Chem 1. Be prepared to understand the material rather than memorize. He goes into great depth in lecture which can help you better understand the coursework. His tests are difficult, but if you stay up with the content you will do well. He understands that his class is challenging and creates a heft grade curve

He is a very very hard teacher to learn from. He seems to not know what he is teaching and surprised by what the slides say when he pulls them up? Tests/quizzes are impossible. VERY boring lecturer. Has no idea how to explain what he is talking about. The things you think are minor make up the tests. Major topics not tested. Had to study HARD for B

Dr. Sherman is a super nice person and does not mock you for asking simple questions. This was his first year teaching this class so there is room for improvement, but I do think he will get better over time with experience. Tests/quizzes are VERY difficult, but that is the nature of gen chem. DO THE CHALLENGE PROBLEMS!!!!!
