Prof Hackenberger is my favorite professor I have ever had! He was just visiting UW this semester, and i'm not sure if he will be back, but definitely take OChem with him if he will be! He made a very difficult subject interesting and easy to understand! I was very nervous to take Ochem, but it was my favorite class of the semester because of him.Rate My Professors ↗
This was one of the worst professors ive had in Madison and it really disappointed me. For a subject as hard and different as OChem, he did not explain things well enough. This is a 3 credit class but it took up almost all of my time. Do not recommend him.Rate My Professors ↗
Decent prof but only visiting. Sometimes does not explain things well but if you put in the time, class isn't unbearableRate My Professors ↗
Really great professor, although he's not going to be in UW for long. He has a little accent, but after a few days in class once you get use to it, it's very easy to understand what he's saying. Genuinely loves to teach and help students. Highly recommended!Rate My Professors ↗
