Comment:

He is very unclear, doesn't explain WHY things are they way they are. Doesn't ever check to see if people have their hands up, and he complains about his time being wasted in the concept room.

Comment:

Good guy, but boring. Avoid him in the morning. You will have a pass with him because he is generous and tend to patronize his class (which is bad for your future if you want to have a major in chemistry). You won’t learn very much because, unfortunately, he does not provide clear instruction. He is VERY VERY nice but he isn’t a good teacher.

Comment:

Dr. P always tried to make the class interesting, which at 8:30 on a Monday isn't really easy. He really made you work for your grade though, and it was not easy. Still, a good prof, hopes he enjoys teaching the first years next year.

Comment:

Very boring, I never can hear what he says. He does not explain as much chemistry as you expect, instead he speaks about chemists and Nobel prizes. Very messy, I can not believe that after so many years teaching he is not organized. I can see a lack of heart and passion. If you want to understand organic chemistry take this class with Dr. Burnell.

Comment:

Dr. Pincock's classes force you to work and study, but he explains the material clearly, and he's extremely knowledgeable. He manages to make organic chem interesting at 8:30 in the morning - what more do you want?

Dr. Pincock's experience makes him an invaluable prof. He may need to follow Dr. Thompson's on clear and organized lecture presentation, but otherwise excellent and enjoyable class.
