Reviews of professor Simon Rondeau-Gagne

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Great guy, you can tell he really loves what he teaches. Very nice and approachable with a good sense of humour. Lectures were clear and concise and he provided plenty of examples. Would definitely take again!

He ruins our confidence by insinuating that the material is basic knowledge. No, the reason I'm in his class is to LEARN not to already know the material. I've studied days for each test and it's never good enough. This class is already notorious for being hard, there is no reason for him to overcomplicate everything

I don't know if it's the French accent, but his lectures are always captivating. The info seems to polymerize in my head and the lectures just gel together. Highly recommended!

SRG is a very caring prof who is always willing to help out. He's clearly very passionate about the subject. Test scan be on the challenging side but as long as you attend the lectures and do the problems he suggests you'll do fine.

The midterms are rigged, the GAs constantly make mistakes grading, and the practice midterms aren't helpful AT ALL. his questions are so tricky, doesnt teach you the things you need to know, does easy practice problems in class his midterm questions are bad. Also refuses to give access to his old recorded lectures to force more people to show up.

SRG was a great prof. I did terrible in Trant's class but got an A+ in orgo 2. It goes to show that the professor really does matter. If you are not feeling confident after Orgo 1 because of Trant.. I felt the same way. This professor really knows how to teach. I worked hard in the class, and I aced it. He added a generous curve for the second exam

His practice questions did not reflect what was on the midterms and there wasn't enough time for the exams imo. Midterms were way harder for me. Some people did amazing because they got marked easier depending on who marked their exam. I got marked super easy on one midterm and hard on the other two. Better than orgo 1, but still hated this class.

One of the best chem profs. I am awful at orgo and failed orgo 1 and I got a 90 in orgo II. Have to show up to his lectures. Tests were very fair.

Simon is a nice guy and an experienced chemist. However, he made many mistakes when teaching that were never corrected which made learning the content a scavenger hunt of information. The worst part was the GAs who very clearly did not know the content as there were 2 lectures taught by them that were riddled with errors as with their grading.

He's an amazing prof. Even though lecs were online, i understood everything. By far, one of the best teachers at uwindsor. Highly recommend.
