Reviews of professor Philip Gasser

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class makes you work but Mr. Gasser will give you literally every tool you could possibly need to get a good grade. Not many teachers will come in early and stay late to help like he does. He REALLY wants his students to do well and be prepared to do well in future science classes. He is funny and brings in real world applications to chem.

Philip is by far one of the worst professor I've had yet. I had taken honors chemistry in high school (same material as intro to chem) and got an easy A. With Philip, I struggle so much to understand the material and whenever you try to ask him a question, he never provides a good answer. He is very rude to the students and is also very awkward.

Mr. Gasser is a great professor. He is incredibly knowledgeable and very attentive. His primary goal is to teach chemistry, to do that the expectation is very high for a great grade. His testing is fair and gives much opportunity for partial credit. Mr. Gasser is very quick to respond with very specific information on questions via email and cares!

Professor Gasser is a teacher for the right reasons, and his effort to actually help students highlights that. He makes it very clear what is expected, but let's you pursue it your own way by not forcing a learning style. Instead of homework there was a semester-long 4 part informational research project. Quality exams, and quality grading.

Phil was a rlly good teacher, if you put in minimal effort youll probably get a C like I did, but overall he structures the class around what the students want. He listens and gives opportunities to get better grades if the whole class does poorly, which was probs the only I reason I passed Chem! And he does a cheat sheet front and back for exams!!

You have to work in his class to get a good grade. Staying after class and asking questions is helpful. Does random attendance checks and can affect your grade even if you miss one class. Overall not bad but would not recommend.
