outstanding TEACHER! I would recommend Sharp to any student whether they love chemistry or not. He is very accommodating and hillarious. I took him as a dual-enrollment class and am taking him again for the fall. P.S. do you homework he takes most of those questions and puts them on the exams but switches the numbers.

I don't understand why people don't think he is a great teacher. I am going to be a senior in high school and I am leading the class. He makes it very simple.

This guy is passionate about chemistry and is really hillarious and entertaining. HOWEVER! HE HAS NO SYMPATHY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT CHEMISTS. HE SHOULD NOT BE TEACHING CHEM 101. WARNING- HE ONLY GRADES EXAMS AND tests. IF YOU ARE NOT A exam PERSON DO NOT TAKE HIM. HE IS NOT accommodating AND CLEAR ON TOPICS. HE TEACHES DIFFERENTLY THAN THE BOOK. WATCH OUT.

Had Mr. Sharp more than 20 yrs ago... tough class, great teacher! I am now a doctor and look back at my time in Mr. Sharp's class as a pivotal time in my life. He proved to me that I COULD do it. Chemistry was not my thing, still isn't... but is a necessary hurdle to access a medical career. Thanks for getting me through it Mr. Sharp!

One of the great teachers at Delta bar none. Ignore the bad reviews, Sharp is a great guy and teacher. He does enjoy picking on students, but he is only joking. Advice to those considering this class: do your homework. exams and tests are very similar to it. Oh and ask about the water dance and give him crap for always being late!!!

Almost never uses text book in his lecture but assigns all of his homework from it, but the homework is no credit. To get a great grade in his class you need to put most of your concentration into it and read the book and do the homework before he courses on it. He also uses abbreviations in his exams and tests that you won't see in the book.

Fun guy, but seems to single out and embarass a lot of people. Doesnt consider student's feelings. Teaching wise though, he is a decent teacher. A lot of work in the class.

I always did my homework and attended class...my weeks were spent at home doing Chemistry, I even used the tutoring center and I still failed. Whenever I asked him questions after class or during his office hours he acted rudely towards me. I think he was a chill teacher but I think he didn't really pay attention to anyone that wasn't getting an A.

I took Sharp for both CHM 111 and CHM 112. He's a great teacher, lots of fun, loves chemistry, friendlya quirky (ok, really quirky)... Chemistry is not an simple subject for most people, but if you take it with Sharp, he'll go through it until you get it, and you'll have fun doing it! P.S. Ask about the "Water" dance!

Going into this class I was apprehensive. If you're taking this in the summer don't expect an simple class, Sharp makes sure to cover all the material that he would in the regular semester. Sharp isn't kidding when he says that Friday nights should be spent with your TI at the chemistry bar drinking a diet coke. I recommend Sharp! WATER DANCE

He's a friendly guy but doesn't do a great job at explaining why things happen. He mostly shows you how to do the math. Expect to learn a lot on your own. Not recommended unless you are very knowledgeable in chemistry prior to the class.

Very friendly person but is not great at explaing chemistry to those you are unfamiliar with it. Took 101 and got a B. Took 111 and failed. He's great if you know your chemistry but if not, you won't pass. Only tests and exams.
