Reviews of professor Chris Mercer

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He does grade his exams on a curve however that's only if you take it on test day, if do a makeup exam you will not get the curve. Also he only teaches at night and the material can be pretty boring so make sure you drink coffee. oh and the final which is 2 questions about 10 pages start on it the minute you get it.

Truly a terrible lab class experience, first off his class had the makeup of a lecture course rather than a 1 unit lab class. 2nd there's a lot of work especially for a 1 unit class. Last thing when I run into former classmates they all have negative things to say about his class.

This class should be taught at least 2 times a week instead of being crammed into 3 hour class. FYI he only teaches night classes and if you work or go to school all day it's defiantly tough to stay focused. Doing all the extra credit does increase your grade a whole letter but even thats difficult.

I was so bored in this class I would leave at the first break because I couldn't stand listening to the lectures. There was extra credit and it definitely helped my grade out, but it was a lot. Oh and the excercises in workbook made my head spin. Just the sheer amount of work for a 1 unit class is too much, take someone else

I was irritated solely by his personality, so maybe I'm biased a bit in my critique of his class. His lectures were him telling stories and trying to get them to correlate with the material and some did makes sense. But other stories that pertained to his dating life were a stretch and made everyone uncomfortable.

Reading the syllabus you can tell that his lab class isn't really a lab class. It's more of a lecture course, also 1 unit classes tend to be a light workload but you have 3 big exams, 15 work book homework assignments, and only 2 actual lab assignments that seemed more appropriate to assign to a 4th grade science class. Take someone else!

Hard pass on his lab class, just because we did a lot of work for a 1 unit class. He reused his syllabus from DVC, which made class confusing as test dates and homework assignments were different. He says that you shouldn't worry about the workbook, but he's not the one who graded it... another anthropology teacher does.

A 1 unit class should have maybe 40 minutes of lecture not 2 hours of story time.

The head of the department got so many complaints about his lab class from both semesters of him teaching it, that he won't be teaching lab again at BCC. Personally I learned quite a bit and wanted to like him but his comments about women and anti-vaccine viewpoints made me dislike him completely.
