Reviews of professor David Sipe

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Worst Professor I've ever had! He grades so hard, and has no idea what he is doing. He takes forever to understand simple concepts, and is no help to students whatsoever. When you go to his office hours he spends the entire time talking about unrelated concepts such as his ski trips or thesis project. Even with his help you still get a bad grade!!

Dr. Sipe is hilarious. he is very helpful and knows what hes talking about. Sometimes when asked questions, he kind of beats around the bush and and doesn't give clear help. Gives extra credit for going to office hours where is helps you work through all the prelabs and labs if you need help with them. Highly recommend taking his LAB.

Dr. Sipe was an amazing lab professor for Chem101. He is really funny and cared about everyone's safety and grades. One thing I can mention is that he is a very tough grader. Even if you get a perfect on your lab, you will have red marks EVERYWHERE! He knows that not everyone is good at Chemistry (me) so he helps out your group so much.

So, Dr. Sipe is honestly a really funny dude, but I think he lacks in teacher skills. When I asked him how to clarify on how to find the molar mass of something, he started talking about salmon in Alaska. It seems that he lacks certain concentration/people skills. Good luck getting him to explain something in class, just go to his office hours.

He is a very nice person and very funny, but every time me or my lab partner would ask him a question, he would divert immediately and talk about something completely different. If you ask him a few more times, he might answer. I always left lab angry and confused. Great person, not a great prof.
