Reviews of professor Kenneth Roberts

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
In class, he goes through many examples and explains the power points. He is interactive and shows enthusiasm. On tests, he gives out some extra credit points and is lenient (depending on the question). He is nice, but sometimes shows sarcasm that makes people think that he is mean. Overall, his lectures aren't borings.

Where do I begin? Unorganized. Be ready to memorize a LOT of mechanisms and teach yourself the material. Focuses on things he finds "interesting," and ignores things he doesn't like, even though some are the MAIN topics of biochem. Studied my ass off to get a B. Wish I could go back and take Rowe's advanced inorganic class instead of this one. :(

Material is taught way too fast to learn. The homework takes 6+ hours and does not help with learning. Hes very condescending. Most of the topics in chem are boring to him and he makes his own rules. The books is stupid to him so dont waste your money. Good at math? Not during this class. Likes large numbers also know conversions. Dont take!!!

He rambles during lectures. He is very sarcastic when you ask questions. His tests are not hard, and he does give a lot of partial credit when he grades. The labs are not hard if you listen to the professor. His lectures are hard to follow. He is accessible outside of class and has good office hours. I wish I would've taken Glenn for Chem 101.

Was very passionate and taught the content well. The labs were very fast paced and could be stressful depending on your lab partner. The biggest issue I had was the lengthy homework. He gives you unlimited attempts but it still took hours upon hours to complete. With that being said his exams were always fair and at times felt easy.

Obviously very knowledgeable about all topics covered in class and is able to break it down well. Lots of homework, but they are good practice for the exams. Exams are tough, but he is a lenient grader and offers bonus points. Very helpful outside of class. Can come off as a little snark but always means well; just a part of who he is. Good prof.

He's okay if you're taking Chem 101. Get a full night's sleep before coming to class though. You will not be able to focus if you are tired or easily distracted. He says that you have to buy a textbook, but I have yet to actually use it. He does give ample time for homework, and he is merciful on tests. The hardest part is focusing.

Great professor, but very challenging. Had him for advanced biochem. The best way to study is to draw the material over and over until it's burned in you head and hand. The lab was certainly no cake walk either.
