Reviews of professor Don Perry

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
So first exam had a mean of 84!  smashed it! Yes.  Perry is pretty awesome. Going really well so far. Advice: watch people on Discord in a class like this. A few whiners are poison in lab too.  So sick of that and bullies.  Mean of 84, what's your gripe?

Don Perry is a great professor. Organic chem 12B is one of the HARDEST classes I have ever taken, but put in the time and effort and you will do well. Read the chapters, do the homework problems and listen to what he says during lecture cause he gives hints of what will be on the exam. Know your mechanisms!!

You should make sure that you read the book as the slides are not covering everything that will be on the test. However, Professor Perry is a very nice professor. He likes to have conversations with his students and he is super respectful for his students. He would apologize for you if he said something made you feel shy or something. He is nice.

You must read the book and do the homework problems in each chapter. His lectures did not go into depth and were not too helpful. This class requires a lot of time and effort. Cumulative 70 question ACS final at the end that is curved.

Decent professor, grades extremely easily, very approachable and easy going during class. What he lacks in teaching he makes up for in grading leniency and easy tests. Be prepared to learn most of the concepts yourself though, spend less time complaining about this professor and more time actually learning and you will excel in this class.

very subjective grader and does not help. avoid at all costs.

I took Perry for Chem 12A and 12B and just loved his course!  Maybe I am a bit nerdy, but after while I looked forward to his class. Everything about it. Hope I can keep what he taught me for the MCAT someday

I'm not even halfway through finished with this class yet and wow. Coming into Organic Chem you think it'll be this crazy tough class (of course it will if you don't put in the work for a 5 unit class), but Professor Perry is honestly amazing. Great teacher, accessible out of class, responds quickly to emails/questions, really wants you to succeed.

Professor Perry is very nice overall. Sometimes, he might have trouble understanding what you are asking but tries to help. Lowest exam score is replaced by a higher final exam score (ACS curved). His class was not that difficult, and the labs were fun. He also has a special character that makes interactions with him quite hilarious lol

Great professor, saved me my grade ngl. He cares about his students and his 2 "breaks" are life savers. Only problem is that I'm really bad at chem so this class was super difficult. He says "right" after every sentence but other than that he's a good professor and genuinely wants you to do well. ALSO he grades insanely hard on the labs so beware.
