Reviews of professor Maduka Ogba

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
In this class you have to learn a lot outside the class. There is a lot to know but the notecard that you can use on tests helps. You will focus most of your time on this class. He gives a lot of practice questions which is essential to doing well. Tests can be frustrating as question can be hard. Good teacher just hard topic.

Ogba never sugarcoated O-Chem, which I enjoyed. He didn't give us magic secrets to success, but he presented the material in an entertaining way and encouraged us. But then you need to put the work in. Take Ogba if you are able to learn in this way outside of lecture, because he does flipped classroom. He's truly a cool dude!

Ochem is hard, his online pre class lectures are fine. If you are someone who needs outside of class help, don't expect respect. Questions he doesn't think are "good" are met with being poked fun and laughed at. Doesn't have respect for questions, even questions that aren't "stupid". If you can be successful without outside help, go for it.

Chapman in general has an amazing chemistry department, but Dr. Ogba is one of the best. I truly am not the best at ochem, but he made me weirdly like it? This class is a flipped classroom, so be ready to do a lot of work on your own. However, his pre-lecture videos are "easy" (as easy as ochem gets) to understand.

Genuinely cares about his students and is committed to making sure everyone has the resources they need to do well in the course. Extremely organized and thorough in the way he presents material. Also has office hours 4 days a week which are so helpful!

Organic Chemistry is one of the hardest classes you can take in undergrad but Ogba is literally the best professor ever. If you want an A you have to work hard but Ogba truly is always there for his students. lectures are interesting too because he doesn't just read off slides. pre-lecture vids take a long time but they are super helpful.
