Comment:

hes a nice guy but i don't think he should be a teacher. He Jumps all over during lecture and they are unclear. tests very hard and based on stuff not covered in class. His handwriting and notes are very poorly written. I would not recommend this class to anyone unless your forced to take a chemistry class

Comment:

He's a good guy but half the things he teaches he expects you to know them already. You have to read the text book, but very helpful in the labs. The tests are very hard.Very, very poor handwriting. I don't recommend anyone taking his class unless you have no choice but too.

Comment:

Great teacher. Old school teaching methods still uses the chalkboard, has notes not slides. I preferred it that way. Gives plenty of curves on tests. Wish I had him for ORG II this summer. I'm not liking the teacher now.

Comment:

Hard information to learn, and he is older and it is hard to understand. I would change teachers if i were you, unless you get the information in the class. He ends up being funny cause he does random things. He is hard to get

Funny guy ... very nice and positive. Always willing to help. Labs were a lot of fun :) Curves a lot ... one test he curved 15%. Might be too much curving actually for my liking. Overall I highly suggest him.

Go to class EVERY day, take good notes, & pay attention to what he emphasizes...you'll do well. He appreciates when students are on time & are attentive in class. If you ask questions, he'll go out of his way to answer them. He gives real-life examples based on his experience in industry.

This was a very difficult class. You must study hours and hours to do well. Tests are very hard but he does curve. The final exam is a CSA test-crazy hard!!! Think before taking this class!
