Part of being a teacher is the ability to teach knowledge to other people. The material isn't hard, yet he mumbles the whole time. Would never take this professor again.

Comment:

He is clearly very intelligent and he tries his best to explain concepts, but he is ridiculously soft-spoken even with the mic attached to his shirt. It was difficult to understand anything he said, but he's better to talk to during office hours. I'll be honest, you might wanna enroll in another section if you want your lectures to be worth it.

A very nice guy, but unfortunately simply can't teach. Stopped going to lectures after the 2nd midterm, managed to teach myself from the textbook. Make sure to do old midterms and his tutorials.

was just simply horrible. His lectures are pointless. Most people cheat on labs, and doesn't do anything about it. Didn't understand anything he said in lecture. AVOID taking this class with this prof

Comment:

This was not an easy class, and required a lot of extra work and motivation to do well. Eichhorn seems to care about his students but does not teach the material well at all, and specified that he teaches for a 70%. The first midterm was easy but the second and the final were difficult, take it with another prof if you can.

Good guy, fun accent, not the best prof. Go to class to stay on track but the majority of the work has to come from you. If you leave you studies until the last minute you wont do well. This class requires a lot of motivation but if you study every week and keep up you'll do well. There is also a pretty good curve in this class.

Comment:

People say this is one of the hardest courses you'll take. It's actually not a difficult course it just requires a lot of time. You have to read ahead of time to be familiar with terminology, it helps understand all the details he refers to and uses with his reasoning. He's the nicest prof I've ever had and is happy to help if you go to him.

All professors have their own policy. I don't think he is a bad professor. His exam is fair.

Comment:

As an environment student, I hope a professor has very good English speaking. The key is to focus on and pay attention to each lecture in class, some reading and more understanding as well, and then interest will grow. I also wish he won't give very tough final exam.

When I met and talked with him for the first time, I could understand him very well. A little German accent, but good speaking. Nice and ready to help. His knowledge is extensive.

you can do good in the first and second midterm if you read the textbook. the final exam was a copy-paste from the past year's finals. the prof id really not helpful, probably 40% of the student drooped the class to take it with another prof

Comment:

I think ending up in this course is to think about terminal result so much as progressive as cumulative and advancing gradually, building things up and changing over time..... We have to attend many classes. Each class needs some hours, every day. Hope for assignment after each class. In the next class, you are able to accomplish some with us.

Comment:

Professor Holger Eichhorn does have some strange ideas that are usually thought to be whismy? It is not bad, if you can follow his idea and self read some related materials. Good marks not only rely on teaching, but also are mentioned to refer to a great self-study, and there's no doubt about that.

He is intelligent. For a class, 2-3 hours reading/practice each day is essential, but only attending the class is not enough.

Nice and knowledgeable. First, be familiar with his speaking, pre-read textbook before class, and practice after class. Everybody great.

Comment:

Arguably the most terrible prof I have ever had... his exams are unreal. You have two options in his class: teach yourself or do awful. However, despite his bad teaching, he is actually a very nice guy to talk to and surprisingly willing to try and help.

Comment:

I had organic chemistry and was terrified before hand. Don't listen to what people say. This prof knows his stuff he teaches well and will meet you half way. Go to class and answer as many question in class as possible even if they are all wrong. Yes you have to study more than you've studied for any other class but it can be an easy A.

Comment:

This class is not that bad! Very demanding course, that's all. Fair tests. Midterm material is easier than final material though, so make sure you do well on the midterms. It also helps a lot if you go through the chapter before he teaches it. Put the time needed into this course and it won't be too bad
