Let's be honest, O-chem is not an easy subject. However, he graded all the tests fairly, and gave at least one practice exam before each test. The practice tests were just like the actual tests so they were extremely helpful. I would definitely take him again.Rate My Professors ↗
His lecture notes are very easy to follow as he doesn't go to fast through lecture, however he does speak rather quietly. His practice exams are very helpful and he says he writes three exams for each test, picks one to use as the actual exam and then lets you use the other two as practice exams so you know what to expect. He wont try to trick youRate My Professors ↗
Great teacher! Wants to help you! So go to office hours and get to know him. Def recommend!Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Mccoy was an excellent organic chemistry teacher. Lectures are fairly interesting but a little bit too fast and lacked demos. Problem sets were very represented of what we needed to know for the exams. Grading was fair and curved. Everything was available online, lectures, keys to problem sets, practice exams. Overall, very impressed.Rate My Professors ↗
he's an amazing professor. His office hours are extremely helpful. the worksheets are a must. you have to work hard, but the class is curved.Rate My Professors ↗
McCoy was awesome. Absolutely would have him for an organic course again. He gives a ton of material to help you prepare for exams (which is all the class is graded on), is really clear in lecture and helpful in office hours. Exams aren't unfair and test you on things you need to know, not obscure material.Rate My Professors ↗
