horrible professor. Hes so nice but explains nothing. Doesnt use technology and writes random things on the board without explaining anything. If you dont read the textbook youll be lost because he doesnt teach

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
he would put questions on the test of a few things we never learned, as his TAs would admit it and say to guess. he did follow a textbook, but his tests were really hard and he was not a good professor

You're only graded by exams, so if you're not a good test taker, it's pretty difficult to do well. He's clearly knowledgeable, but doesn't explain much during lecture. His exams are also nothing like his practice problems and the average exam grade was consistently around a 60%.

Meh

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Be prepared to take heavy notes during lecture, there are no notes posted and everything is done on the chalkboard. Exams make up 80 percent of the grade and are very difficult, the class averages were all consistently below a 60 and there is a high fail rate for this course, so be prepared. Hw was reasonable but only counted for 10% of the grade.

Awful. 6 Exams total. Lecture is a waste of time as he draws everything on the board with little to no explanation. Expects you to know the content. Goes through material very fast with no resources for you. Practice questions are simple, exam ones are not. No slides, you have to basically teach yourself this class with youtube and other resources.

Great professor who knows his stuff. Approachable. Tells funny stories too about science.

You need to really work hard if you want a good grade in this course. Vicic is a genius, but you need to teach yourself all the material. Also, the entirety of your grade is determined by exams. Good luck!

he's such a nice guy and he tells some funny stories. wasn't a big fan of his teaching style though-lectures consist of him writing reactions, mechanisms, and other images that come straight from the textbook (so if you read the textbook, you're not really missing out on lecture). your grade consist solely of your scores from 5 exams, so prep well!

He was horrible. The tests had random questions that were not taught and were graded super hard. He only taught irl and did not post anything online or use anything online like a PowerPoint. He does not explain and teaches by writing equations on the board and not explaining anything at all.
