Reviews of professor John Brockman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He does not care about anything . He does not actually teach the material so good luck getting help online because that is really not going to work either . I strongly recommend not taking this class because its very hard and you need someone to EXPLAIN AND TEACH the material instead of drawing pictures.

Not a great lecturer. Did not enjoy. Wasn't very clear in expectations and seemed disconnected from the class in general.

Dr. Brockman was uninterested in lecture. His notes and solutions had errors and he had no enthusiasm. His tests werent a good representation of what we learned and the homeworks werent graded, so labs are everything. The labs were disconnected from lecture and were very hard to do, your lab TA made or broke your grade based on their generosity.

The expectations for the class were very clear. The homework assignments were very short and easy. The exams did not go beyond the scope of the topics covered in the lecture slides. The lab and the lecture did not line up exactly right. Dr. Brockman is very knowledgeable about analytical chemistry and responds well to questions.

Lectures were pointless. Can't hear him speak if you sit farther than the first three rows and his handwriting is impossible to read. Teaching yourself is also impossible because doing the homework he assigns does nothing to prepare you for the exams. Best advice is to do well on the labs because its the only grade besides exams

Poorly constructed lectures that felt like brain dumps onto us. The worst was that he was a tough grader but expectations were very vague. I read book and genuinely tried to understand material but was often hit with very low scores in the end. Nice guy otherwise though and very knowledgeable; he just didnt do a good job being a teacher.
