Reviews of professor Kevin Petka

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Chem is a very hard class so don't be surprised to find that it is a very hard class. Nothing will change that. He is a great instructor and really wants his students to do well in the world. You must put in a lot of time for this class non-stop. Material is good and don't freak . Listen to what he says, work smart and hard, and you will do well.

I only had this professor for my lab portion for Chem104 but from the 2 interactions I had with him, he was very rude. Labs were all online and about moderate difficulty. Bio chemistry is a hard topic and thats not going to change no matter the professor but if I were you I would stay away.

Good professor. Goes on tangents about random stuff on occasion but you have to steer him back. Comes of as rude but he just is very opinionated. He enjoys teaching the material and he responds to emails promptly. Class office hours are optional but you definitely want to attend. Easy A if you do the lab and come to him with questions.

Very confusing and skips over much of the course material. Tends to disregard lectures and follow tangents with no relevance to the course material. Is very hard to understand and follow along. When requesting help in understanding course material, makes irrelevant comments that do not correspond to the questions asked. I do not recommend him.
