Reviews of professor Benjamin Sherman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Would not recommend this class as he does not teach you and you have to spend A LOT of time outside of class teaching yourself, it is his second year here but I now have to retake chem. you usually run out of time on the tests and quizzes. Felt like I was hard done-by.

Although attendance isn't mandatory, it really helps to go to class. When online, you only practice problems in class but you get explanations from him that really help. He is really accessible out of class and if you need help, ask. It's a hard class, be okay with getting 50% on tests. That's normal. Online made it a LOT easier to cheat.

Dr. Sherman is a great person, but the class structure wasn't helpful in learning the material. It felt more like a memorization class than anything - but we were online so it was easy to source info elsewhere. He is helpful outside of class and allowed for questions during exams. Homework/Quizzes/Exams were through Chem101which now goes by Aktiv.

Dr. Sherman is a nice and funny person. Unfortunately, his teaching was not great. He was normally late for office hours and would spend the entire hour only doing two problems. You have to learn a lot of material outside class and do a lot of homework.
