Reviews of professor Daniel Singleton

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Singleton is the greatest professor I have had so far. He made organic chemistry understandable and enjoyable. He holds weekly problem sessions that are great for feedback from him directly, and you get a lot of practice for each chapter. His exams aren't really that hard and have some bonus points built in. Overall a fantastic professor.

I took honors and I will say it is difficult and requires a lot of time outside of class, but Dr. Singleton is a great professor and is very accessible outside of class. Office hours pretty much every day and hold reviews before the exams. Tough grader but lots of EC. He understands the material is difficult but truly wants you to succeed.

Did not adapt to COVID teaching very well, lectures and pre-made notes were not very engaging

Worst chem prof at TAMU. Hands out tons of papers and problem sets and doesn't teach the content on the sets. Has an "outline" of his notes but they don't help at all and leave you with lots of questions. Avoid.

I learned more about how much money he makes using the techniques mentioned in lecture compared to ACTUALLY LEARNING the techniques. Even when he tries to lecture, I wouldn't understand 99.99% of the things he says and just zone out for the rest of lecture. 10/10 do not recommend.

Very bad his lectures are extremely confusing and do not make sense. Now I am in lab with the non majors (Chem 238) and made an A. The actual lab is ok but the lecture portion is difficult and he made it more difficult than it needed to be. I learned everything he was supposed to teach in chem 228. So glad Im not a chem major anymore.

DAS is amazing. A LOT of extra cred (+1 pt daily hw and built-in pts for test) High grade distribution. Weekly problem session = great practice for test (unlike old exam problems bc no key given) He makes notes but you must *annotate* in lecture to learn. Fun personality. Annotate in class + attend most sessions = pretty easy A. Take honors for him

There is a worksheet each lecture that you can turn in to get extra credit. The grading is lenient, so just turn it in with something to get pts. I had to teach myself ochem because his lectures+ notes were confusing. He has study sessions and tons of TAs to help. Hard class/ takes a lot of personal effort- this class is NOT for the weak lol.

Dr. Singleton was amazing - lots of review sessions outside of class & very understanding. Provides lots of feedback & typically has extra points available on exams. The average grade at the end of the semester was an A. Can get super sidetracked during lectures but very personable, likeable, & respectable. Loved having him.
