Reviews of professor Daniel Weix

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Lectures are long and on slides. You need to read books/notes. The course is kind of a group project, but he doesn't facilitate group work. It's hard to connect to others during covid time, and all the students are organic ppl (very exclusive). Attending lectures is a waste of time, and doing school at UW-Madison is a waste of time. Don't do it.

The best thing I can say about professor Weix is that he is passionate about organic chemistry. Is he an engaging or enjoyable teacher? No. Lectures are long, boring, and he does not get through all the material. The questions on exams are dissimilar and much more difficult than lecture. He also refuses to give much practice material for exams.

I think he is a really great guy who loves organic chemistry but he is not a good teacher at all. Our school is a big research school and I think he is only here for that tbh. Lectures are long, boring, so so so confusing. This material is already tough and he speaks to us as if we are his colleges. He doesn't seem to get it is a very hard class.

I like this guy a lot, but his lectures are very long and dense. Can be hard to tell whats important & whats not. You have to search for practice yourself since he has no problem sets. I barely studied honestly, and got the grade I deserved. Go to office hours and utilize the textbook, plus the Ochem as a 2nd Language book.
