Reviews of professor Gabor Pohl

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I had this professor for Orgo 1 lab. He is amazing, explains the experiment well, gives extra points and is not harsh in grading. We had 8 quizzes throughout the semester and he counted best 5 of them towards the grade. He is very patient and will explain to you whatever you need. I would take this professor any time I have a chance.

Gabor is a very good professor. He would explain a mechanism as many times until you understand. If you have time left in labs and if you have questions he would use that time to help you. Labs are always well explained. Just don't miss any assignments because that will affect your final grade

Gabor was such a helpful resource as a TA. His teaching method genuinely made it easier to understand tough concepts, ones that would not always be easy to understand in a traditional lecture session. Great and timely feedback, Gabor made it so clear how to gain a good grade in the course. Do your readings and quizzes are easy!

He's a bit old school. He doesn't want to grade lab reports if not done on a carbon notebook. Even if lab reports are posted on blackboard, you're still required to print the report and give it to him during lab. He doesn't grade till grades are due, so you won't know where you stand. He grades super harsh. I switched my grade to a CR

He didn't grade 2 of my lab reports that were turned in during the middle of the semester until finals week, gave me horrendous grades on them & when asked why, took a month to even reply & never explained the loss of points, then gave me an incomplete in the class without notifying me, even though unresolved incompletes default to an F! Just cruel

Gabor is the most irresponsible lab TA. It's already the end of the semester and he only graded one lab report. Gives extremely difficult, sometimes unannounced quizzes with barely enough time to complete them. Does not keep his promises and is very disorganized. Will help you with experiments though. You never know your grade. Take someone else.

Avoid it please. Hard tests.

Gabor has a very thick accent so beware of that. His quizzes are annoying and mostly short-answer. However, he did make my life easier by cutting down the components of the pre-lab reports and he answered any questions my partner and I had. He isn't very clear about the lab procedures, though or how he wants the reports written.
