Comment:

I took him a few years ago, and just finished my undergrad. He is hands down the best prof for Ochem. His exams are really tough, but manageable and slightly curved. I put in 15-20 hours per week outside of class, and was able to pull an A. Very helpful worksheets. Read EVERYTHING. You can't cram for this course, or you'll fail miserably.

Dr. Whitaker is hands down one of my favorite professors ever. Although he is very hard I enjoyed the class a lot and felt like I learned a lot of Orgo from him.

Dr. Whitaker is one of the best professors Ive had so far. The first time I took it, I failed the course because I didnt take it seriously. I wasnt paying attention in class and I was lost. But I took it the following semester, and I was one of his best students. You just need to read his book and show up. Hes my fav professor to date.

Ive gotten As in all my science pre-requisites except this course unfortunately. Gave this course everything I had only to end up with a C. My friends didnt deal with half the stress or workload I had to deal with for this course. Oh well, you life and you learn

Comment:

This class caused me more stress than any other class ive ever taken. I ended up withdrawing from the course prior to the winter semester ending because I couldnt handle the stubbornness & difficultly of the professor. I wasnt about to let a bad Professor ruin my gpa. Here I am at Wayne State retaking it and getting an A. Stay away

Comment:

Most difficult Professor ive ever had and for absolutely no reason. He takes whats already a difficult course and makes it even more difficult. Dont be foolish and listen to the other reviews speaking good on his behalf. I promise this class is not worth it. Exams are extremely long and difficult. Take it elsewhere and save yourself the stress

Comment:

One of my favorite chemistry teachers, and teachers in general , EVER. He is good at lecturing first of all. No surprises on the tests, second of all. He is a very humble teacher, open to the most simplest of questions and always there to help. Effort, effort, EFFORT is all it takes in this class. He deserves a perfect score.

Heres how to get an A. Study the practice exams to study for the exams theyll help you the most. Do the hw at the end of each chapter before you start the practice exams. Read chapter before class. GO TO CLASS. Ask questions. Draw the mechanisms over and over again. Study everyday. Hes a great professor and likes to really push his students.

Comment:

Attending class is important. Explains things as if you already know, so you do have to teach yourself a lot. I never figured out the best way to study, but he does provide exam examples online that helped figure out the format and type of question he will ask. He does curve grades. Online homework took a while but he will give you more time, ask.

He is an excellent professor. He knows his materials very well, and he is the one who wrote the organic chemistry textbook. A very helpful teacher and offers a lot of extra credits.

Comment:

Absolute worst teacher I've ever had. He makes the material unnecessarily hard. Tests are about 10 pages long and are impossible to finish. He teaches little to nothing in class, expecting you to already know everything. Grading criteria is ridiculous. Save your GPA, and more importantly, your sanity, and AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

He was a great teacher, considering how difficult this class was. Going to his lectures was pretty important, mainly because if you miss just one lecture, you feel very behind. He curves alot, and truly cares about every student there is in his class. His online work provides a chance to earn lots of EC and bring your grade up. One of the best @HFC

Best teacher I ever had. Really knows his stuff and even though his class is difficult he is a great teacher. This class requires a lot of studying and class attendance. If you do not show up to class, you will not pass. Test are very hard, but he curves really good.

Amazing & very understanding. Prepares you well for the MCAT and PCAT. He gives lots of practice tests, those help a lot. He is a chemistry genius he really knows his stuff so if you want to learn then def choose him. He makes you work for your grade so it feels good when you do good because you know you earned it. Strongly recommend him!!

The course itself is tough so you have to spend a good amount of time on your own studying you cant just rely on lecture. You must work for your grade it won't just be handed to you. Study the exams!! It's what helps the most. Dr. Whitaker is amazing, he made me love orgo when I was scared to register for it. Not rocket science, just needs practice

Comment:

He teaches the fish how to climb a tree!! Makes his class too hard. If you ask him a question he looks at you like you are speaking Greek and will only tell you it's written on the the notes . And the stuff on the test is completely different than the things he talks about or tries to explain. Too long tests. Half the class dropped. Don't take him
