Reviews of professor Charlie Fehl

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I had high hopes for this class and was very disappointed. it was quite obvious that he was preparing everything last minute and it showed in the final grading curve. easily one of the worst classes ive taken in the department. course material isnt hard it just was not presented well.

Concept heavy course, make sure you are staying on top of the semester group project

Dr. Fehl was the best professor I've had at Wayne State. He knows the material very well and he is so understanding. He's open to all questions and wants you to succeed. He gives lots of extra credit and the exams are pretty straightforward. You need the book and you need to attend lectures, but his lectures are very clear. Practice the mechanisms!

Fehl gives great lectures. Orgo is a rough class, but he makes it bearable. The workload is what you would expect from a college-level organic chemistry course. I think he's great, I wish I could take him for all my chem classes.

I wanted to like Dr. Fehl because he was nice and a good prof for being new. His exams were extremely difficult and it caused a lot of people to do poorly. Myself and other students asked if there was any way we could save our grade and he told us with the final project we would but in reality it made our grades worse even after doing well! So sad.

Dr. Fehl is a great professor. He lectures really well and is easy to reach outside of class. He tries his best to make things easy on us and puts in a lot of effort for us to succeed.

Took him during the pandemic and he changed the exams to open book to help accommodate students. Straightforward exams. Lots of extra credit. We can drop the lowest exam grade and have it be replaced by final exam grade. Should definitely go to class even if not mandatory. Book was used but I didnt use it and still got an A.

Group interaction is important.

Professor Fehl is the best orgo prof I've had. He's very clear in communicating difficult topics, and he truly cares about those in his class succeeding.

I was in Fehl's class during the pandemic when everything transitioned to online and let me say, he's the only prof who actually seemed like he cared for his students. He tried his best to provide us with an easier approach to learning/taking exams and he didn't require anything of us, which was really nice because Orgo is a really hard class.
