Comment:

Lab was relatively easy to do. Was helpful during the lab, would do portions for you. Let us play with liquid nitrogen on the last day. Not bad for lab at all.

Comment:

Class was not easy, as I wasn't able to learn anything. He just read off his power point and really didn't go over anything. Pretty sure I failed every test (which was turned into barely passing by his curve). I'm pretty sure he passed me just because.

Comment:

Not a bad teacher at all. Tests are all multiple choice, and he gives you a big review for each one. You don't have to go to class, as he sends you the powerpoints he uses in class to you, though it's a good idea if you have any questions. Can take the hard route explaining, though. Good guy, though.

Comment:

He is by far the worst person you can have for Chem lecture. All you do is go through a power point each day. He flys through the material and when you ask for explanation he always gives you a real hard time. Only reason I passed was due to his wicked CURVE

Comment:

Aronson is sometimes helpful. He does get sarcastic sometimes and likes to crack corny jokes that no one laughs at. I liked having him as my chemistry teacher even though he was extremely boring even at 10:15 a.m. Overall, if you get him don't worry about buying a book or doing the homework. As long as you do the review problems, you'll pass.

Comment:

He is a nice guy, and he truely likes teaching. He, unlike many chem teachers understands that most of us don't care about chem, so he doesn't act like it is the most imporant subject in the world. But he constantly gets off topic, and waist entire class's talking about usless none chem related topics.

Not a great explainer. Quizzes are fair and easy if you study. Jokes and talks with students.

Comment:

Very talkative guy, instead of just reading his notes off, he tries to make it a conversation with the students. More than willing to help with questions, but does little in-class demonstration of mathematic processes. The practices tests he e-mailed to the class were invaluable.

Comment:

Great guy, can't teach. He knows what he is talking about, he just can't get his point accross. He seems to expect everyone to understand his notes immediately. Basically a self taught-class. Fairly hard quizes, no homework, interesting classes when not talking about chemistry.

Comment:

This guy is easily one of the worst teachers at Kettering. He is right up there with "Doc Mac" on the uselessness of both lecture and lab. Both of these profs taught nothing to the class and went off on tangents as if they were getting paid for it. AVOID THIS PROFESSOR

Nice guy, knows his subject. I found it hard to understand the outline on his overhead. It was not clear. By spending the time decipering the overhead, was not understanding much of what he was saying. Book is helpful.

Hardest tests I have ever taken. HARD teacher. Really sweet curve. If he likes you you'll get a good grade, but make sure you study or he'll screw you.

Comment:

BORING! I zoned out every class, that is when I attended class. Get cribs memorize them, make sure you get more than one crib, some have questions that say what is the most another will have what is the least. We got him to let us use a crib on the final, it was great! Take him because he is EASY! You really don't need to go to class...

hopefully you don't ever need his help in lab... beacuse you won't get it. only take him if you have a good grasp on chemistry.
