Reviews of professor Michael Frasso

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
For students thinking about taking this professor next semester. DON'T. He's one of the most passive aggressive professors, responding to emails in a snarky manner. Gives unreasonable time limits on tests, tests are much more difficult than homework or lec examples, horribly unorganized, I could write a book on how bad he is and he doesn't care.

By far the worst professor Ive had. He wont be teaching here much longer. Go to class for attendance and then learn from YouTube later. He has no clue what hes talking about and he blames students when were confused. Very unapproachable in office hours. However, he makes up for his bad teaching with practice exams just like the real thing.

I was very hesitant about taking Organic Chemistry with Professor Frasso after seeing his rating on this site, but I can honestly say that he did a great job! His lectures were clear and his recitations were even better. He provided practice exams that were nearly identical to the actual exams which was super helpful!

Mike Frasso is the absolute worst professor at WVU. He is not empathetic whatsoever and is the most condescending, arrogant, unhelpful person I have ever met. When the university went online, it took a terrible turn. Exams were not representative of material given and it was almost he wanted his entire class to fail. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF.

I've had Frasso for both CHEM 233 and 234 and I can say he has for sure improved as a professor! He was open to feedback about the course and the inclusion of homework helped a lot as it's an easy way to help your grade and practice the material. He makes problem sets and practice exams that also help a lot. Overall, he's a very good professor!

Having taken Frasso for both 233 and 234, I have seen him grow so much as an instructor. He is very caring and is open to feedback from his students. Go to recitation and do the problem sets/practice exams and study study study all of the different mechanisms and reagents!!! Grade consists of attendance, participation, homework, quizzes, and exams.

DO NOT TAKE CLASS WITH FRASSO. When I hear how accommodating and caring other chem professors were during the Covid19 crisis, it made me sick. Mike was not helpful whatsoever and couldn't care less about his student's struggles. I'm convinced this man wants to see his students fail. This class is a smart student's worst nightmare. Be warned.

I had to drop the class after the coronavirus online period. It was too hard to keep up with and exams sucked. The online platform would count answers as incorrect when I had the right answer. God forbid Frasso would help.
