Reviews of professor Donald Stringle

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
We had to have him fully online because of the pandemic, literally the worst professor for that. He uses a version of webex that looks like its from the 90's. He doesn't give practice exams, or even practice problems before the exams in his lectures. The only good thing is that he curves the weekly quizzes heavy.

Attendance not mandatory but watch lectures coz he wants reactions done his way - get it from Internet, no credit. For HW, good luck you have to teach yourself. Not fully his fault, orgo is very dry n boring. He's nice and accommodating tho. 4 exams each 5% (plus final) so u might get an ok grade. Gives slight curve so D+ --> C- (my grade last sem)

Lectures were slow and boring. Doesnt make an effort for his material to be understood. Unwilling to help students, will say that his teaching isnt the issue, its you, Refuses to curve

Professor Stringle is not the BEST Organic teacher out there but he really does try to explain everything as best as he can. A subsequent curve at the end is not guaranteed most times so you need to do well on the tests. It is important to go to his class and take the notes that he gives because everything he says is usually on the tests.

Not even friendly, doesn't explain well

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
HORRIBLE!! Contradicts everything you have ever learned in gen. chem. Doesnt explain things well. Assigns homework over the weekend. Has a HORRIBLE attitude. Expects you to drop everything and only worry about his class like youre not taking any other classes or have a job or a life. Also goes over lecture time by 30 mins! DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Wouldnt have been able to pass without the help of other professors and their material. Poor explaining and very monotone. Save your grade and mentality and take anyone else

Oh god, where do I start. I always study for exams well for other chem/bio courses, but when I studied for his class, it was okay but then the exam completely gave me a heart ATTACK. Seriously, I was panicking and it was super hard. I tried so much to even get a B. He makes it super hard to get an A. DONT EVER BOTHER TO TAKE HIM. Worst prof in sju.

His lectures weren't terrible and you'd wish that the questions on his exams reflected on the questions that he went over in his lectures, but that's almost never the case. He avoids the specifics in his lectures, assigns very difficult hw that require students to learn on their own by reading the textbook, and would blame students study habits.

Avoid for organic chemistry, his lectures are slow and boring, he does not make an effort for them to be interesting. Does not teach well and misses specifics about chapters that will be on the exam. Had him twice and learned everything from youtube but he does curve tests
