thrwway092178 | 3 years ago | on: NYU’s firing of Professor Maitland Jones Jr. should frighten every American
I took Orgo 1 from Jones 15 years ago. He was a terrible teacher then and I doubt he has gotten any better. The students' complaints echo my own from the time. He cannot teach and when it becomes apparent to him that he is not imparting knowledge he switches to exasperation and ridicule. In the end I ended up with a C+ in his course. For reference, I got A's in Orgo 2, PChem, Stat Mech, and Quantum Chem; all courses that ought to be harder that Orgo 1 but aren't if the Orgo 1 prof is simply incapable of teaching the subject.
