Reviews of professor Jacob Schlegel

Don't do it. Unnecessarily hard quizzes and tests. Lectures are impossible to understand over the computer, he explains everything like its so easy, making you feel dumb for not understanding.

Do not take this class unless you want to dedicate the next 5 months of your life to chemistry. The exams felt like they were designed to make you fail, and no matter how hard you try you feel like you're drowning in the work. He does make himself available during office hours, but his help often leaves you feeling dumber than you did originally.

Let me explain that this is a Chemistry class. It is a no brainer that it will be difficult and require a lot of work, that's something you should not be surprised about. In this class, as well as all other science classes, it is important that you study and practice as much as possible. If you study the quizzes, homework, and notes u will get an A

I just successfully finished 3 semesters of Chem- why was this intro class the hardest one? I legitimately felt hazed in this class. Almost half of the class dropped by the end of the semester. Tests were insanely difficult (the curve saved my grade) and the homework did not prepare me. This class was almost like taking Chem 1A/1B simultaneously.

The exams are super hard, but he does give a few extra credit opportunities. He is available outside of class and is always willing to help. He has interesting stories and facts on different concepts so if you actually care about learning chem then take him, but if you're just trying to get credits, this is not the class.

A tough love professor. Really great with vast and various knowledge and little known facts about chemistry and the people involved in it. Great for beginners, but only if youre good at memorizing, as there is a LOT of stuff to memorize. But he allows a cheat sheet flash card front and back on ALL midterms, which was very helpful for me

DONT DO IT! I am an "A" student but the workload/difficulty of this class was unbelievable. The amount of work on labs, homework, group assignments etc. will take up your whole semester. If you work or take other classes, good luck! His tests are RIDICULOUSLY difficult to pass! The way he sets up grading only helps those who do well from day one.

Hardest class ever alert. Grades were not updated, course materials didn't cover everything, homework took hours to complete, and the tests will blow your socks off, our class averages for exams were close to 50%. Professor Schlegel is great during workshops, available during office hours/and off, but a seriously tough grader. Would not take again.
