Reviews of professor David Kamber

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Orgo is no joke and Dr. Kamber is relentless. He is always available outside of classroom and will really push you to work incredibly hard. He is extremely caring and wants you to be successful, but you have to put in a lot of effort.

Dr. Kamber is a newer professor, which is something I could tell during the first lecture. He is all over the place and unclear. He does make time to be there outside of class, but it doesn't help much because he explains things the same way he does in class. I really just don't like him,nor would I ever take a class that he was teaching again.

I think Dr. Kamber gets a really bad rep, but is honestly a great professor. Orgo is a very tough subject, but Kamber tries to be very approachable and encourages people to come to his office hours. Anybody who gave a bad review was clearly not putting the effort in, because he truly cares and you just have to work! His tests are very fair!

Dr. Kamber is awesome! He is extremely fair and very passionate about Orgo. He uses active learning in the class and is very open to meeting with you outside of class. This is not a class that you can just slack off. You have to put in a lot of work outside of class to prepare.

Dr. Kamber is accessible in his office hours. Yet, he does not put explanations on his answer keys and his lectures are very fast and doesn't explain very well.. And yes, he threatened to take our curve because we did not read the online textbook enough (despite offering us another textbook). He does not provide encouragement to his students.

Kamber is a new professor, so I tried to give him a chance when I sensed he was going to suck in the beginning, but now I am stuck having to drop. We practiced doing all multiple choice problems, for quizzes and everything, and then the test would be open ended. There was no direction in what to focus on or things we had to memorize.

Organic Chemistry is so difficult to begin with and Dr. Kamber's goal was to make it a thousand times harder than it needed to be. The class asked a question about the exam and he said "you'll find out on test day". There is absolutely no test preparation. He is a terrible professor and should not have the ability to run a class.

very difficult professor to take for Orgo. He has office hours all day on Mondays and Wednesday and is extremely approachable outside of the classroom. I have spent countless hours in his office for help. He also holds review sessions on Sundays before exams (just not on Saturdays). I literally have to study everyday for his class.
