Comment:
Mr. Swartz is a great lab instructor. I had very easy lab with him. In the beginning he sounded like a big jerk; however, he is very nice guy, very helpful, and very understanding. If I were to choose to take any other lab with him, I would definitely take him. Highly recommended

I have this guy for lab and he's not that bad. At first he seems like a big jerk but after a while he'll ease up... but Nixon is still the best to take for lab anything.

Comment:
Scared the beegebus out of us in the beginning, by the end those who stuck it out respected him, learned, & got good grades. I had a personal crisis & he went to bat for me to get credit for the class. He can be more like a "football coach" than

I stuck it out and finished his course. I felt completely different about his class at the end. He gained my respect and I realized that I actually learned... and I passed with an A. His class is curved, if you try, you'll pass.

Comment:
Treats students with disrespect. Don't be late and make sure your cell is off or else you will receive his wrath in front of the whole class. The tests are very hard but graded on a bell curve. He only expects students to get 50% on the final.

Comment:
Don't take this class unless your chemical intuition is up to par. You must be willing to teach yourself because all he does is review and read the book. Exams are nothing like study guide, teacher never available for help. He discourages students greatly

Comment:
Not an easy "A"... but you'll pass if you stick it out, & maybe even learn a little chemistry. Focus on the general ideas of his lectures, concentrating on a few key areas of each chapter. Class is curved, no scantrons, standardized final.

Comment:
MAY be a nice quy, but not a good teacher. He is hostile, WILL NOT answer questions about the format of tests, & no final exemptions with an "A" average. Our last test had a question worth 20 points. Miss that one and you already have an 80%.

One of the worst professors that I've ever taken! Very rude and inconsiderate. Preparing for his exams was like a guessing game . When I once asked for his help, he gave me the brush-off and replied Sorry, but I don't feel like thinking anymore!
