Please listen to these reviews and don't ever take this professor. Average test score was 43% and curving is nothing to him. It will effect your GPA and college career greatly. Other professors curve like crazy and offer extra credit. The homework is also impossible to get a good score on. SAVE YOUR MONEY or you will be retaking this class again.

it may just be the fact that chemistry is hard, but when the class average for each test is usually around 50-60%, it probably means the class is too challenging or not taught correctly. Pinkston didnt explain things the best way and made it hard for the average student to comprehend. Tests were like 60% of your grade. Curved final grades though!

Im a 5th year senior and Ive never had a professor like this. He was literally terrible when it came to just about every aspect of his job. Things were never clearly explained, hes far from Outgoing, and hes basically not engaged at all.

He is the worst professor I have ever had. Do NOT take this class with him for any reason. If he is the only professor, take it next semester. 0/10 would not take again. His lectures are no help and his tests are too difficult. If by some travesty you end up here be prepared to study a lot and still not do well.

This man. Sighhh. Please run, do not take his class. He would wreck you and your gpa. This man makes me so sad. I worked so hard in his class, but amounted to nothing. He obviously doesn't care about his students, does not explain in depth, just reads off slides and doesn't explain well. RUNNNN. It's not worth it at all

This was my second time taking chem 121 and ended up doing worse. Hes the WORST teacher Ive EVER had. I do NOT recommend wasting your time, money, or energy on this teacher. If possible take it with someone else or wait an extra semester, you wont regret it.

This is the 6th good review for Professor Pinkston. Honestly, if people are failing the class, it means the things they have been studying for was wrong. The very first test for Chem 122 was super hard, I literally did not study for it and it was basically my fault. Chemistry is a hard subject to teach and people cannot expect it to be easy.

Dr. Pinkston is terrible at making you feel heard in his class. Taken during COVID, it was all online. He uses generic slides and never elaborates on anything. He doesn't understand how to make chemistry learnable. The exams are terrible and nothing like the guides or practice work, and worth a majority of your grade. Avoid him at all costs.
