Reviews of professor Mark Schofield

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
professor schofield is super kind and passionate about what he's teaching, but he is one of the most disorganized professors I have ever had here. The content is already difficult enough as it is, which makes it even harder when coupled with his very disorderly tendencies. This class has caused me more stress than I can explain. I do not recommend.

Professor Schofield really tries to be accessible to his students, especially during exam season. At the end of the day the entire class is extremely disorganized. You'll struggle a lot if you don't learn just from reading a book. Do the practice problems, and stay ahead of the readings. You're only taking this class if you absolutely have to

The Course is heavy. Lots of material and you need to read the textbook to understand the material. Homework is graded based on corrective-base. However, the professor is very nice and he replies emails super fast. Good professor but get ready to work hard.

Dr. Schofield is a great lecturer and a very kind & accessible professor. My one gripe with this class in hindsight was that the expectations is too similar to a graduate level course and I think impacted my learning experience. In short, I felt like I spent too much time trying to memorize everything rather than conceptualizing.

He's super nice but this is a HARD class. QA is just Chem 1112 but way more complicated. Schofield is one of those professors that's so smart that they have a hard time explaining things in a way that makes sense to nonprofessionals. Defo read the textbook and do practice problems. Exams are tough but he is generous with partial credit.

Professor Schofield is really an amazing professor. Even though sometimes he goes off track to show us how equations are derived, I think they are really helpful. His tests aren't difficult and really straightforward. It is a good reflection of the problem sets he gives for homework. I recommend going to his office hours for help.

He told us to skip a chapter then 20% of the exam was from it. The textbook is way easier than his lectures. Do all the suggested exercises. Doesn't curve. Exams very similar to old ones. Very nice guy but too smart to teach. Do not leave any question blank, he gives partial credit. Ask him to slow down in class. Take notes to know what's in exam.

Brutal class with a professor that doesn't make it any easier. Lectures are disorganized and mistake-ridden. Avoid at all costs.
