Comment:
He is a great guy, means no harm, but this is not a class for non-majors. He goes way too into depth and it's had to follow a lot of the time. He's very funny and kind, and lets you do the two midterm exams over again gain half of the credit back. But if you just need a science elective to fit with your major requirements, don't take this.

Comment:
He is impossible to get a hold of, doesnt respond to emails and he didnt even let us know when his office hours are. The exam questions are over the hardest problems in the chapters. Hardly gives any extra credit. Other chem professors give formulas on the exams but he does not. I would not recommend his class, very disappointed.

I hate chemistry but Dr. Lawrence taught it very well. He tries to make the class as fun as possible. Recitation was very helpful. He assigns problems in the book, and as long as you know how to do them all you will get a good grade on the exams. No final exam either.

Prof Lawrence is a great guy, very funny & entertaining. If you put in the effort & ask him a question, he will do all he can to help you understand it. Lab doesn't often take more than an hour every week and he keeps it pretty simple and clear cut. If you double check your work and work well with your partner, there's no reason you shouldn't pass

I had him for lab. He's very enthusiastic about life and all things chem-related. He did not provide much help when asking questions though - He typically would say "look at the whiteboard or in your lab manual." The manual we used was quite confusing. He is a very nice and pleasant man though.

Funny and animated. Generous with extra credit and outside help. Material is very hard, but he does the best he can to simplify it. Clear with grades. Overall good.

He was one of the best professors I've ever had at SVSU. I had him for an 830 class and he kept me awake. He's hilarious and I loved the class, even though I didn't like chemistry going into the class. Leaving the class I had a whole new attitude. He's extremely helpful and curves all his tests.

Very nice and fun guy! Go to the recitation to get extra points! Yet, I found his tests really hard and didn't find the lectures too helpful! Even if you get a 69% he won't give you that 1% to pass so make sure you make it!

This prof. gives a lot of extra credit sessions, but I went to almost every class, took notes and failed! His exams are I don't now hard! I don't find the notes useful at all maybe for 2-3 questions on the exams. He's funny and cool guy but it was hard for me to understand!

Do not agree at all with "If you come to class & do the problems, you'll get a good grade"...I was on time to ALL classes, including recitation. Took notes, did the recommended problems & studied for hours & FAILED every exam. As a teacher, Professor Lawrence explains things well, but tends to go WAY too fast. He also doesn't stick to the syllabus!
