Reviews of professor Christo Sevov

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Sevov is an amazing lecturer! However, his exams are VERY difficult. He no longer does the 50% drop policy. I would say his exams are the hardest out of all professors, however, he does give a lot of practice. The class is graded on exams and problem sets only. It is possible to pass the class considering that AU22 got a generous curve.

Dr. Sevov was a really clear lecturer. His exams were fairly difficult, but if you go to class, read the book, and practice you'll be fine. His 1/2 drop system for exam 2 was really nice, it's pretty much extra credit if you get above a 50% on the exam (average was 36%). Overall, good guy

He's really a great guy and cares a lot about his students! He is great at teaching/ explaining things. His tests are hard, but he makes up for it with the 50% drop on one midterm and the adjusted grading scale. I learned a lot and actually really liked this class. I will miss Christo

Christo is a very clear lecturer, and pretty adorable. Some people say he's a little boring, but I didn't have too much trouble staying focused during lecture. However- his exams are honest to God insanity. Don't be fooled by the easy first exam. We had a 70% average on it, which was followed up by a 36% average on MT2... also he doesn't curve so

Many said Callam was the hardest prof for ochem at OSU. I think Sevov officially has him beat. Regardless, Sevov is a great man who is caring (will hold extended office hours and be very accessible / kind). While I think his tests were VERY tough, I think he is a great professor who is exceptionally smart (try understanding what his research is in)

Dr. Sevov was a nice professor, but his lectures had no correlation with the textbook or other professor's lectures. I am taking this class again, with another professor, and I am finding that there is actual vocab and multiple coursework sections that Sevov's lecture completely left out, which were only full of complex examples that made no sense.

Professor Sevov is not a good professor if you need structure for organic chemistry. Organic chemistry is a VERY tough class and he gives no graded homework, quizzes, or any sort of extra credit to help your grade, while other sections have those. Your grade is solely based on recitation packets and exams. Prepare to teach yourself everything.

Dr. Sevov is a great professor. He is clear in his lectures, and office hours are basically like another lecture. I suggest going to them. He has a 50% midterm drop which ends up working out really nice. He has a very unique way of writing questions but doesn't provide a lot of practice problems in his style. Overall great professor though!
