Reviews of professor William McVey

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Chemistry is really hard but Mcvey is great. Super nice, great teacher. Usually curves our exams ~10 points. He makes the most thorough reviews (directly from exam) I've ever seen. Posts all lectures on canvas. It's very clear he just wants everyone to pass and he tries really hard to help with that in all ways possible. Definitely reccomend him.

Took this class in the summer and he was hilarious! always explained things several different ways. We had a lot of pop quizzes, you have to STUDY lecture notes, Homework and powerpoints. clickers needed for extra credit and attendance. Gave awesome feedback in office hours and in class, especially on tests! Will take him again!

i have my final tomorrow and I am on the brink of passing so it could go either way. McVey is a good prof and funny but basically everything he said made no sense to me. I would try to ask questions but most of the time I would be so confused by what he just said that i didn't know what to ask. he lies abt givng extra credit for clicker questions.

There was not enough time to get enough understanding down to do well in the class. I may just be bad at Chemistry, but there's no doubt that this professor made it so much harder than it could've been. He didn't explain his lectures well and made students feel dumb when asking questions. Good luck if you happen to get him!

You usually stay a few minutes late because of the lecture. This class is very hard, you need to study literally every day and go to SI sessions or you will fail.

McVey has been my favorite prof so far. His lectures were easy to understand (possibly bc of my previous chem II knowledge), and he always used entertaining examples. His tests usually had extra credit and the homeworks were manageable. 10/10 class and prof. Easy to pass if you pay attention and put in some work.

He is a good professor if you have a clear understanding of chemistry but if not prepare to memorize and attend every class.

this is a really hard class and you will not pass if you dont show up. His lectures are really good and its easy to stay engaged, he gives extra credit for clicker points which is nice. Hes pretty funny and a cool dude, the only thing is that he does not curve his exams, which sucks because the avergs. are like %60
