Reviews of professor Stephen Gramsch

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
don't take him if you need to taker organic chemistry (orgo). He doesn't make you read the textbook and always messes up in class. Would not recommend if you need to take upper-level chem classes.

I think all of Dr. Gramsch's bad reviews come from students who 1) thought they could do well without putting in work, 2) didn't do well, or 3) don't understand how college works. He is an AMAZING professor who will talk you through the same thing 1000 times if you go to office hours. Truly the nicest guy. Do yourself a favor and take his class!

Not a fair guy. Makes his three exams easier than the final exam. The final exam is very hard and if you fail the final exam most likely you will do poorly in his class.

He is an amazing prof. I had him for both CHEM 1111 and CHEM 1112. If you are having trouble all you have to go is go to his office hours and he will help you so much. Best gen chem professor at GW

Gramsch doesnt give homework which is not fair because the textbook doesnt have a reasonable amount of questions you can study off of.

It confuses me to see so many people say that Dr. Gramsch was not a good prof. He was willing to go the extra mile so that his students learned, and I believe that this resulted in a firm understanding of basic chemistry principles. His class certainly prepares you for upper level chem, many others and myself have succeeded in Orgo 1 and 2.

This professor is the worlds worst thing. He is truly a terrible guy.

Do not take his class. He wont prepare you for standardize examinations and you will end up doing horrible on exams like the MCAT or DAT.

Dr. Gramsch is the definition of what an ideal professor should be. He keeps lectures interesting and tries to emphasize on teamwork when solving problems. His exams are fair and purely based off his lectures. I was lucky to have him for both CHEM 1111 and 1112 and had the same great experiences in both of these classes because of him.

Really clear on what type of questions will be on his exams. Exams are not crazy hard. Super accessible outside of class and holds review sessions for tests. Responds quickly to emails. Lectures are not mandatory and he always posts his slides on blackboard. Makes the already hard material easier to get through. Highly recommend.

Prof. Gramsch is by far one of the best professors I've ever had. He is passionate about chemistry which makes you just as excited to learn. Advice: print off the lectures before class to take notes on. He will tell you the questions that will be on the exam so don't bother reading the book (he told us this). Overall amazing class and professor!
