Reviews for George H. Lorimer
Average Rating:| Anonymous515 Course: BCHM462 Grade Expected: B- May 21, 2011, 10:20 am | He absolutely does not care about teaching this class or any students. He in fact gloated over how he was failing like 30% of his class, which considering that this is a 400 level class is completely wrong, since the majority of the students have already passed all other classes to get here. His teaching style is all over the place, he does not focus well on a subject and mostly it is just blatant memorization, which considering it is chemical structures and processes is extremely difficult. His exam key demands for you to have correct wording that he has in his slides and if you have anything other than that you get points off. In short if you have any other choice but him take that professor instead. |

He is blatantly purely here for research and obviously thinks student are below him. He tells you on the syllabus he plans on giving the class 60% of the class C's and below. The averages on the exams are around a 50/100. He emphasizes chemistry rather than biology for biochemistry so all you do is memorize mechanisms and have terrible flashbacks to orgo. DO NOT TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN HELP IT. Even other professors describe his teaching style as "trying to drink out of a fire hose"...literally just blasts information at you. Also has a scottish accent and you can't understand anything he says. |
