Reviews of professor John Saunders

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He does not even have a PhD but acts like he is better than everyone else. I am a DRC student and I do not learn by hearing something once so I must ask questions but with this professor I stopped asking questions as every time I went up to him with question he either makes me feel stupid or does not want to help and he goes back to his phone. Rude

I would not call every professor that I've had a master of their craft, but he definitely is. Does a great job of pushing you out of your comfort zone/expanding your boundaries, and provided me with insights about myself I otherwise wouldn't have realized. You do have to actively participate, but he is very understanding and will do right by you.

A bit of a mixed bag. I found his teaching style difficult sometimes and did just okay on tests, but he's a very generous grader on the labs and just wants to see that you made an effort, not that it's 100% correct. Always willing to meet on Zoom outside of class but rarely, if ever, responded to simple emails.

If this isn't him, my bad. The one I'm talking about has a tattoo of the formula  of caffeine. If you have him then run

Attendance was mandatory and for every class you missed was a letter grade deduction off of your overall grade. His grading scale makes absolutely zero sense. I have never made a C at UAH my whole time attending this college, I started off with a 75 in his class. Avoid this class at all costs or take it online.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! John has been the WORST professor I have EVER encountered in my life! I took his CHEM410 online over the summer due to the pandemic. The level of disrespect, unprofessionalism and immaturity was absolutely unbelievable! God forbid you have a question, he will make you feel like a moron! If I could, I would rate him a ZERO!

I took Prof. Saunders 2021. There is a lot of work but finish it all and you will be well prepared for the exams. I just wish he supported his students more. Emails were often ignored and I didn't feel like I could ask questions or if I did he didn't really help. If you are able to grasp concepts and apply them to hw on your own, you'll be ok.

Johns style of teaching made learning chemistry easy. I liked how he would project what he was writing on the two large screens. He would then post everything from his lecture, including questions asked in class, to canvas. Showing up to class was important because he would have random pop quizzes. They were always pretty straightforward.
