Comment:

you literally have to do everything possible in this class to pass. he sometimes assumes you know more than he taught as well a going off on a tangent about nothing that matters to chemistry. You need the book and he gives a lot of homework all the time. test are not too bad but the lectures are long and move briskly.

Dr. Bjorkman, was the best Chem teacher. If you have to take Chem 1130 take him!He cares about helping students understand. Go to class, PTC, his office hrs and u will do good. If you want to do well don't take this class with any other demanding class like Anat or Ana lab. You will spend all your time to this class.

GREAT INSTRUCTOR!! i would advise anyone to take him. Go to office hours a lot, PTC a lot, all test preps, DO ALL YOUR HOMEWORK! He takes all this into account when calculating your final grade. Go to class it will help you a lot with understanding the material. How hard he has SEEN you work will be taken into account. Everything is curved!

Comment:

Dr. Bjorkman could easily be an amazing professor. He just doesn't take the time to translate chemistry into language that people can understand.. Plus, this is just a weeder class - to see if you can handle intense materials. CHEM 1120 is not useful in nursing - at all!

He knows his stuff but cannot teach it to save his life. Go to all the chem workshops provided by the PTC, and go to the PTC for extra help. Basically, go to the PTC so much that they know your name, because that's the only way you'll pass his class.

Comment:

Honestly Bjorkman is such a nice guy and he really loves what he does. The class is hard yes, but if you work at it everyday, you will do just fine. As heard, the tests are indeed very hard but he gives you a practice test so review that and your notes. Also the PTC isn't all that helpful as they seem to not know what they are doing. But good luck!

Chemistry is hard in general and Bjorkman did not really help me at all. He is really enthusiastic and he loves his job, but I learned everything from the Pirate Tutoring Center. I recommend anyone who takes Chemistry to go there because his tests are so challenging.

Comment:

I had him for Chem Lab 1151. Greatest teacher! He is very helpful, explains everything clearly and isn't too hard when it comes to grading things. I can tell you the final exam is EXTREMELY HARD but its only 10% of your final grade. Make sure you do lab reports right and it should be a breeze. LOVE HIM!

Dr.Bjorkman is amazing. He is so helpful when you need it and wants everyone to be successful. He curves his texts usually by two questions which really helps and as long as you a good amount you should be fine on the tests! I strongly recommend him!

Dr. Bjorkman is by far the most helpful professor I have met! He really wants students to succeed in his class, and gives students plenty of opportunities to pass! He WANTS students to attend his office hours. There is homework weekly on Mastering Chemistry. I recommend attending the tutoring workshops that are offered! The class is NOT easy!

Comment:

Dr. Bjorkman is a super caring man. His class is the HARDEST I have taken at ECU thus far. However, if you go to his office hours and the PTC for help, you will not fail. He actually cares about his students and is willing to work with those who may not be the best test takers. If you have to take Organic Chem, Bjorkman will help you through it.

I love Dr. Bjorkman. He is an amazing professor who truly cares about his students success. Although these classes are difficult he has office hours and will take hours out of his day to make sure you understand it. I recommend him he is my favorite professor I have ever had!
