Reviews of professor Michael Giblin

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Assumes we learned the topics before lectures (made going into Chem 120A without going into Chem 115 tough). Listed topics too broad for exams and weekly quizzes (usually graded and given back). Dr. Giblin is good personality-wise, but teaching and grading skills could be better. Partial credit for showing your work on quizzes and exams.

It just depends on your learning style. He teaches based on the slides, so you sit there and listen to him. At times, he may ask you a question or two, but it no one answers, he just answers it himself. Honestly, I give him a 3.5/5.

I was really hoping I got salmonella over the thanksgiving break and that took me out because I would rather that than to have to go another second in his class

Bad professor. He does not know how to teach. He only reads the slides.  He gives you quizzes and expects you to learn within one day. You have to teach yourself in this class. He expects you to know everything from 115.  Beware

Professor Giblin is a good guy, but his lectures are so long and boring. He has a monotone voice and repeats the same information over and over again. After one lecture he assigns a worksheet with up to 20 or more questions. He grades each question based on accuracy and not credit. There are a few positives like allowing late work for 70% credit.

Do NOT take this professor, he is so bad at teaching, his lectures are extremely boring as he just flips through a bunch of slides and reads them off in a monotone voice.

He just stood there for the entire class and didn't even lecture. He legit just shows you the slides and expects you to know it all as if we are the ones with the masters in chem. He doesn't take questions and just makes us work on a worksheet with no help and tells us "this is on the quiz so make sure you know it" but doesnt teach us it.

i am about to be done with ochem and it is by far the hardest class ive ever taken in my life yet im coming back to remind everyone how horrible he is. I would rather take ochem forever than to take his class

He is nice, but who cares the class was awful and monotone. Another review said the people who didn't succeed didn't pay attention, not true. I was at every lecture and asked questions, he just repeats things without explaining it. Goodluck if you tested out of 115, he just assume everyone knows the information and skips vital things. Dreaded class

you will never get an announcement from him, never get a reminder about upcoming quizzes, exams or homework. you will never know your grade in the class and you will never want to be go to class. If you didn't get a goodnights rest the night before don't worry because you will fall asleep in his lectures because he is so monotone and boring
