Reviews of professor Abram Axelrod

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Overall, I really liked him. He is goofy and kid of sarcastic, but I didn't mind that. He gives really good study material. I liked him and would say he is one of the better teachers that I have had!

Axelrod was a great prof. The class was difficult, but he did a great job teaching it. Attend all lectures, it's hard to catch up once you get behind. He outlines the exams so you know what to study. Problem sets (homework) were straightforward and easy points. He gave lots of EC toward the end of the semester which helped everyone.

The guidelines for this class were very clear. There were three homework assignments the entire semester and one exam grade gets dropped. There are plenty of opportunities for extra credit on the exams and on the three problem sets. As long as you go to lecture and study the practice exams, you'll do well in this class.

Axelrod was a nice man overall, I think he could have done a better job at doing examples. He throws information at you during the lecture instead of showing you how it is done. He definitely was open for help, but you need to put in more effort for help and doing practice problems on your own when he is your professor.

Orgo isn't my strong suit.
This class is doable. Axelrod is very blunt with what will be presented on the exam. As long as you show up to class, go to review sections, and practice on your own, you will pass. Though his interactions with students are sometimes rude and brash, the way he runs the class is chill.

He's a good professor and I really enjoyed learning the subject. He offers a TON of extra credit and you can end up with a 110% in the class. He will also post a study guide that literally tells you exactly what is coming on the exam.

great professor. The course requires a great deal of work, but an A is definitely achievable. His office hour is helpful, especially before exams. Plenty of EC to bump grade.

I didn't try at all in this class and still passed. He's a decent guy who wants his students to succeed. He's receptive to emails and will work with you to see how he can help you out. Would def take another class of his.

He gives multiple opportunities for extra credit which can for sure help you if your grade is in a pinch. I feel like i did the bare minimum by just doing the practice exams, going to lecture, and doing the graded practice sets. He also gives outlines of what each problem on the exam is going to be about. You can get an A if you put in the work.

Prof Axelrod makes it VERY easy to get an A in his class. Exams are exactly what he says they're going to be and I got A's by studying what he said and doing the practice exams. He gives around 65 points of extra credit throughout the semester and curved final class grades at the end. He wants people to do well and makes it very easy too.
