Reviews of professor Marc Boudreau

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This was probably the most pointless, worst class I have ever taken. Dr. Boudreau is condescending and does not take the time to make sure his students are keeping up with the lecture and exams are ridiculous and you never know how to prepare for them. Avoid.

Marc does a great job of thoroughly explaining the material. He writes everything down on the board during lectures and answers questions which makes the lecture easy to follow. The only grades are a few homework and 3 exams which doesn't give much room for error. Overall he's a good teacher and he is very kind and approachable.

Professor Boudreau is perhaps the best organic chemistry professor one could ask for. Organic chemistry is a difficult course, but he makes it easier by breaking everything down in his lectures and he is very clear about what he expects from students. His exams are fair and I have always felt well prepared.

Professor Boudreau spends the entire class period zooming through notes without students being able to process the information given. He doesn't have any outside sources for his material besides the book (which isn't too helpful). The only grades that count are two exams, a final and homework, making any mistake on exams crucial to your final grade

Marc is a good lecturer. The grading on the weekly homework assignments is weirdly harsh considering each of them is worth about 5% of our class grade. If you want to do the material best, GO TO LECTURE. He teaches by writing on a blackboard rather than going through slides, which is very helpful.
