Difficult course, expects students to study a lot and do problems from the back of the book. Tests are very difficult and very tricky. Very helpful and dedicated to his students.

LOVED this professor! Chemistry is one of the hardest courses at OSU regardless of who teaches it, but Rockley is definitely the professor you want. He is funny, interesting, very smart, and he WILL HELP YOU OUT. Go to his office hours, do homework, and just chat; this will get you brownie points. His tests are hard but he curves! GREAT TEACHER.

Comment:
Totally skipped class often because he never taught anything that mattered for the test. I took AP Chem in high school and had to use those notes to study because his were a mess. He's a cool guy though and pretty entertaining. Tests are brutal and way too hard so he curves it like crazy. He uses his labs to boost grades.

So amazing. Probably the neatest individual I've ever met, or ever will meet. Part teacher, part inspirer, part encourager, part friend, part father-figure. If he could teach every course in my 4 yrs here, id pay double. i can honestly say i LOVE learning because of him.

Such an incredible teacher. My whole outlook on being in college and what i want to do with my life changed because of him. I've never felt so encouraged or empowered. Forget the chem, its worth taking this class just to get to know such an incredible human being. I have to take 11515 but refuse until i can take it with Rockley.

Dr. Rockley is the most awesome professor ever, but probably the most difficult. I took it my first semester as a freshman and he scared me really bad. I took the class with 17 hours and I survived. I ended up with a B, which was great. You will learn a lot from him, but STUDY HARD.I basically spent two hours each day READING THE BOOK!!!!!

Comment:
The Chem class he was teaching was difficult, so I can't rag on him too much. He did try his best to help students, and often gave bonus points and curves. But his lectures often didn't help you prepare for the test. The first test average was about 42. Like I said, hard class, but he could've done better teaching.

Dr. Rockley is a good professor who is willing to truly help his students, but I did not appreciate how he overwhelmed us with studying. Exams are difficult, giving me the lowest grades I have encountered so far. There is a massive curve and bonus points. If you take his class, take a lighter load (unlike me with 13 other hours in addition to 1515)

Very condescending, didn't enjoy him as a person. Tries to scare the students by making them think they will fail. Just read the book and do the problems in the back and you should get a B. Didn't go to class to often due to his elitism tone.

Dr. Rockley is an incredible guy who reallyyy cares about his students. The class is very tough, but he will do anything to help you get a good grade. He is always willing to answer questions and has a ton of office hours. The book will be your best friend, it requires a lot of studying, but hard work pays off. Take Rockley!

Dr. Rockley has a great passion for teaching and making sure everyone understands the material, even if he has to repeat it over and over and over..However, students take advantage and ask irrelevant questions..which he answers. It REALLY wastes a lot of class time but other than that he is a great professor, super office hours great help

Dr. Rockley is just an incredible person. His love for teaching and passion to truly see kids succeed will blow you away. I've never felt so encouraged or enabled, but after a week in his class you feel like you can conquer the world. Study hard and you'll be far ahead of your peers in other teacher's classes, esp. if you're a premed TAKE ROCKLEY!

I absolutely LOVED this class and Dr.Rockely is fabulous. It is a very, very difficult class but Rockley will do everything in his power to help you succeed. He obviously truly cares for his students and wants to help in any shape or form. You must do your part as well though. Follow the advice he gives you from day one!

Extremely difficult class with a lot of work each section. Great teacher with a wonderful personality, but he's hard to understand because of the speed of the class. He will do anything for his students, even give us extra credit if we catch a mistake. He recommends 1.5 hours a day of studying.If you try, you'll make a B easily, if not, farewell :)

You will learn chemistry on a world class level if you take his course seriously. The tests are difficult, but he will literally do anything for his students, he wants you to succeed. Easy to get to know and you will enjoy his class.

I hated Chemistry before Rockley. Humorous in class, really wants you to succeed. Gives examples of applied chemistry and engineering that are interesting. Definitely requires studying, though. Do the homework, read the text, take notes, go to the study sessions; basically everything he tells you, and then you'll do great. But again, fantastic prof

He is the BEST. His class is extremely difficult but it's completely possible to get a high A. He gives so students several opportunities to raise grades. He wants everyone to actually learn and do well. Do exactly what he says and GO TO OFFICE HOURS!!! He is my favorite professor I have ever had

This guy is awesome. Make no mistake, though - if you don't do EVERYTHING he says from day one, you'll spend the whole semester after exam 1 just trying to catch up. Don't take this class with a demanding schedule - it requires at least two hours a day of study. Be dedicated!

Outstanding teacher. He throughly explains what you need to know. His curves are great and he wants to help his students get A's. He also has test reviews a few days before his exams which are extremely helpful!
