Reviews of professor Charles Krois

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Avoid! Lecture is everyday and you most take notes before class and after class. To succeed in this class, you must study 16+ hours a week.  He reads off of the slides fast, and his tests and quizzes are extremely difficult. Studying for his mid terms and final exams are impossible, as he records lecture but then deletes it after a week of class.

Dr. Krois is very passionate about both Organic and Biochemistry. The class is challenging and does require a lot of studying but he provides good explanations and takes time on a lot of content. I would definitely take classes with him again. He has the nerdiest humor which is to be appreciated.

The content of organic and biochemistry is challenging, but as long as you pay attention and do work outside of class you will be okay. If you have questions go talk to him and he will do his best to explain.

Dr. Krois truly is a good guy and cares about his students. But this class is a nightmare. WAY too much work. Sole focus in a semester should never be just biochem. His exams don't reflect his notes very well and the rigor is unnecessary. Needs to make it straightforward. I've taken 2 other biochem courses now and they were way more manageable.

I wish Mr. Krois had more classes that he taught!

I think Krois is a great professor! CHEM 111 IS A HARD CLASS, but Dr. Krois did his best to make sure his students succeed. Go to MavPass, go to office hours, be prepared to put in more time for this class because it is DIFFICULT.

This class is very lecture-heavy, but Professor Krois takes a lot of time to be there to help you with questions. What helped me be successful in this class was going to Mavpass, tutoring, and office hours every week. I spend about 25+ hours on this class each week.

Dr. Krois is one of the best professors I've ever had. He provides multiple opportunities to get extra help. You can attend class in person or online. He posts lecture slides and a recorded lecture daily so you can look back. Office hours are super helpful so definitely take advantage of them if you feel behind.

The class is hard but he wants you to succeed. He was always willing to walk me through things I didn't understand. He will make you laugh and make some cheesy jokes!

He doesn't help you with anything and leaves you to figure it out yourself

It's a lot of material to get through in one semester. Make sure you do all of the lab assignments because they are easy points which helps when doing bad on exams. Exams are tough and you're expected to know everything even the little things. The textbook is great with explaining things if you don't understand.

So hard! Test are more about tricking you and less on what you know. This is more of what I would expect if my major was chemistry
