Reviews of professor Elbek Kurbanov

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. K is a good teacher, although he explains too quick, so it makes harder to follow him. In the lab, he helps a lot and provides good explanation if you ask. A LOT of homework in OWL, it's annoying to do so much of hard problems. Tests are easy if you do problem sets a couple of times.

I did not like the way he taught. Does not post the lecture slides to look back on after class and moves very fast in lecture. Try not to skip class as it can be very difficult to come back from it. I think almost everyone dropped his class by the end of the semester.

Dr. K is one of the most approachable and caring professors I ever had. He makes you feel comfortable in his class. However, he is not the easiest professors I ever had. If you want an easy A do not take him. To get an A you will have to do your homework and his problem sets he posts.

Horrible teacher. Does not care about her students at all. Never answers emails that were sent the day of. Not understanding at all. Makes you do a thousand homework questions for absolutely no reason. This is the kind of teacher that only does her job for the money, not passionate about her job at all.

Disregarding the accent and it's the effect on lectures, the use of OWL seems to make no sense. We never read the textbook so it consequently became a paywall that hides 5% of your grade for $120, which is in no way proportional to the class's tuition fee. This may not be his fault directly but be warned of this if you take him.

Do not take any Chemistry in an 8-week long online format if you are doing anything (and I mean anything, no work & maybe max. 1 more class) other than this class. Extremely demanding coursework that is very fast paced. That being said, Elbek knows what he's teaching well and is clearly well-versed in chemistry. Good professor, bad course format.
