Reviews of professor Zachariah Page

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class is so organized and the exams reflect the material accurately. Page is sweet and funny in a nerdy way. This class is hard & requires effort but not unfair. Don't fall behind on the lectures and do the worksheets he gives out. Also having a study group helps. I thought his final was really hard and is why I did not get an A.

Doc P is a very sweet, funny dude. He is wicked smart and cares a lot about his students. He is not the problem at all--it is the structure of the class (90% exams) sucks and the TA's are nearly all uninformed/clueless; Page himself even grilled them a couple of times during exam reviews. No practice exams since it was his first time with OC2

He gives VASTS amounts of information and has high expectations of students to fully master the material in short periods of time. He requires students to know SO many mechanisms/byproducts. VERY time consuming course but you learn/must be dedicated. Awesome TAs + accessible for help outside of class. Not very difficult just very time consuming.

From what I've seen, he really doesn't care about his Ochem2 course, rather he's more of a lab guy. There's been too many mistakes by him and the TA's all semester, and they simply make the class harder than it should be. At this point, I would've rather taken Straumanis.

Highly recommend Doc P. Homeworks and Worksheets prepare you very well for tests. Funny guy who shows a genuine love for chemistry. Did very well for his first-time teaching Ochem 2. TAs were mostly useless except Vincent. Often clueless and couldn't even choose the correct major contributing resonance structure, so Page had to correct them.

Skeleton notes are useful

I wouldn't recommend taking Dr. Page for ochem 2. His class was not that organized like others mentioned. He had no practice exams, no reaction/mechanism summary sheets, and would not post his filled in skeleton notes after lecture. I even asked to meet with him and he declined. Should tell you everything about him as a prof. Tin-pot prof

Prof does a great job at explaining concepts and showing how they can be used to solve different kinds of problems. Tests clearly based on concepts learned in class. I attended the recitations with the TA Vincent and my grades on the following exams went up by a whole letter, so I highly suggest you attend his recitations.

While it seems like there are a good amount of people who dislike the way the class was, I quite enjoyed it. I took ochem 1 with someone else who wasn't good at teaching and I feel Page is good at explaining things, provides good examples, and decently readies you for tests. This was his first time teaching ochem 2 so it was rough but enjoyable.
