Class was fun, interesting, and easy to retain. I took this class over summer! Probably the best choice for those who don't like science! Polk's a cool guy, take his class!

He was a good teacher....very helpful. I managed to get a C, but I suck at all science classes. If you retain info pretty well, you can probably get an A. He's very helpful and tells funny jokes. TAKE HIS CLASS

Great teacher, funny, makes a lot of jokes, and explains everything with great clarity. But read parts of the chapters that he specifies, do the online quizes, and do the work at the end of the chapters. All in all he is a great teacher and seems pretty cool.

If you think this guy was difficult, then DO NOT take any further Chem courses. All you'll do is destroy your GPA. Polk is by far the easiest professor in the Chem department.

He is a great teacher and very funny! I did not learn much in the last half of the class because I got very lazy. Take the online quizzes and you will do fine on the exams!

test come straight from the coursecompass homework, he seems really unmotivated as a professor, it makes you not want to go to class, and he reads straight from the slides and book! take someone else if you really want to learn b/c i took this class to prepare me for 2045 but didn't learn anything!

As a person, he seems like a nice guy, as a professor, he is not very good at all. He reads straight from the textbooks web slides and adds little explanation. Has no office hours, and does not respond to email. If you have never taken chem before like me, take someone else!

Great Professor!! He makes jokes in class to keep you interested. He explains everything clearly and is always willing to help or answer questions. I'd recommend him if you have to take higher chemistry in the future.

Nice young guys who knows alot about chemistry. However, sometimes jumps the gun to fast on certain subjects and just moves on when there are still questions that need to be answered. Tests are difficult, but is still understanding and is willing 2 curve
