Reviews of professor Bruce McCosar

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I like how It was very easy to ask questions and relate to my professor. He taught the class very well and avoids unnecessary learning. He is a phenomenal teacher. Students in his lab or lecture can easily understand the material and feel comfortable to ask for help and ask questions. I never enjoyed chemistry until I took hi classes.

Alright look, he's easy and a decent lecturer, but he's rude and makes smart remarks for no reason. Many of us asked him questions and he gets mad at us for not understanding stuff quickly, especially for lab. I thought I was the only one who noticed, but others noticed his behavior as well. Take him if you wanna pass, but I wouldn't take him again

Prof Mccosar is easily one of the best teachers at NOVA. He would make the class fun and interesting.

I had Prof. McCosar for 101 lab, and all of the labs were very smooth and he was always readily willing to help out! He grades pretty quickly and is generous with grades as well. He's got a quirky and fun personality that made it really easy to enjoy him. Would take again!

*only was w/ Prof. McCosar for CHM 112 lab* Pros: NO JOKE the most gifted chemistry teacher I've ever encountered (he can teach any concept to anybody, I swear), quick & fair grading, treats students like people rather than subjects. Cons: N/a

Professor McCosar is one of the BEST professors I've taken at NOVA. I took CHM 111 lecture and lab with him, and he makes the class so much fun. His lectures can be confusing at times, but if you do your assigned homework, you'll all set. His tests are easy, and he drops the lowest test. He always curves the tests. TAKE HIM and you won't regret.

Professor McCosar is an awesome person. He explains the lab and what you need to know before doing the actual experiment. He does his very best to help you with the experiment and explains himself very well.

Took him online this sem. Lectures SUCKED. He spoke as if we should all have some sort of Chem background, but it's an intro course. Made it difficult to follow. Overall, an easy class though. He designs it so that if you put in minimal effort, you will pass. Just do your progress checks and study for tests. Perk: fastest grader I've ever had

Horrible teacher, had him for online lecture and lab. He does not teach during class, you are expected to teach yourself with the textbook and PowerPoints with little information. Hard grader, will make you feel dumb in comments. I do not recommend, he does not care for his students. Exams are made to make you fail, nothing like homework.
