Reviews of professor David Proctor

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Recitation was a waste of time usually, oftentimes David would skip the hard questions to answer the easy ones. He relied on sapling HW to teach us, where sapling itself was a headache. There is a plethora of EC and ways to earn points back. He abandoned us during COVID-19; he left students on read, made few announcements, and held one lecture.

David is a caring professor and will do anything to help his students pass. The lectures can get boring, but thats the nature of chemistry. He assigns online homework quizzes that are easy credit points. They help learn you learn for the online exams (get chegg for this course). If you dont pass this class, you dont deserve to be in college.

All around a good person, but he is early in his teaching career and has kinks to work out as far as his methodology goes. Definitely go to the "optional" after class sessions because they are what will help you actually understand the content. Tough class, good guy, and pretty entertaining. P.S. he sounds like Jesse Eisenberg, so that helps.

TAKE CHEM WITH DAVID!! He lectures the whole class but it's fine because he is funny and makes it interesting. He cares about his students and wants them to pass. Lots of extra credit opportunities. I know smart people that took the class with other profs and had a hard time passing but everyone I know that took David's class passed with an A.

Professor Proctor is a very intelligent professor, however, he struggles when conveying material to a class of students who are new to this subject. He is very hard to get ahold of outside of class. Lecture is long and he makes it very boring for the students.

David was one of my favorite professors this semester. He really cares for his students to succeed in the class. You are graded out of 5 exams (lowest is dropped), quizzes (sapling), and the final exam. Take advantage of doing any extra credit offered, even the hw! Go to office hrs. if you need help with anything! Nicest professor I've had at SVSU

I was not very prepared for this class as it felt like more of an advanced chem class where you had to know what you were doing rather than just starting (mind you it had been a while since I had taken chem). The good news is I found ways to work together on the weird online exams with friends. Went to toturing a lot and taught myself basically
