Reviews of professor Norbert Scherer

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
His chemistry class is by far the worst I've ever taken in my life. His lectures are extremely long, boring & non-sensical, and the quizzes completely fail to test knowledge because of their immense difficulty. He does NOT care about his students. For your own sake/mental well-being please don't take this class unless absolutely necessary.

I have 2 pieces of advice--if you are a non STEM major, DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS TAUGHT BY NORBERT SCHERER, AND DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IN GENERAL. If you are a STEM major and need to take this course as a requirement, CHANGE YOUR MAJOR and follow step number 1. This man has absolutely no empathy for his students and cannot write rational tests. :(

He's not that bad. All these other people are just overreacting because the quizzes are hard. But they're hard for everyone and the class is curved, so it really doesn't matter.

At elite institutions like the University of Chicago, you'd expect our professors to be good teachers. There is a difference between being a world-renowned, brilliant researcher, and being a good teacher who can actually explain concepts to students in a clear, sensical manner. Prof Scherer embodies this difference. AVOID THIS CLASS AT ANY COST

One of those teachers that will teach you quantum mechanics and put emphasis on the most important parts of quantum mechanics. Then when you take his test itll be over the most trivial and least important stuff youve learned. His tests are not chemistry but simply getting lucky on studying or prior experience. Overall, terrible but smart man.. ig

Literally the worst professor I've ever had. His lectures made me MORE confused. He only read off of his slides, and he is incredibly boring. Please only take this class if you are looking to make your life worse. Otherwise, save yourself the tears and anxiety. This school is hard enough as it is.
