Comment:
Dr. Seely was my favorite prof and by far the most helpful to me during and after Albion. He challenged my limits, he was patient with my struggles, and he pushed me to be my best self. Hes flexible with his teaching styles and his availability. Its rare to have such a knowledgeable, dedicated prof, so if you take his class, make the most of it.

Comment:
Dr. Seely is obviously very knowledgeable, but he can't relay any of that knowledge to his students. His lectures are impossible to follow unless you've had Calc or are a Physics wiz. I'm taking 115 and the test average for the second test was 76. Please save yourself the headache of teaching yourself the class and take it with another professor.

Comment:
Dr. Seely is a great person, but he can't teach. His lectures, while real-world applicable, didn't teach any concepts that were on tests. Also, when we asked him to go over how to solve certain problems, he would often use Excel. The problem is, we can't use Excel on tests. He knows his stuff, but can't teach the way we need for exams

Dr. Seely is a great human! He's easy to talk to and really cares about his students. He can be a little tough to follow in lecture but is always willing to answer questions.

Comment:
Very good for 1 on 1 help but kind of unclear during lecture. He is very funny and easy to talk to and seems to genuinly care about his students. The only complaint i have is he is too busy with meetings to have long office hours, which is not his fault. Highly recommended to someone who can self-teach and then ask questions directly.

This class was a tough one, but Seely did a good job at helping you through it. Some of his exams are tough, but so long as you show a little interest, he'll get you through the class

Given, I only have him for 116, but this guy rivals Steffenson as the smartest person on campus. Funny man, easy to talk to, loves teaching, loves working with students, and he's knowledgeable about everything. Exams are a little tricky, but the man is awesome.

Comment:
this class was kind of boring for me, but Dr. Seely is academically demanding and challanges people to think. Admin. should allow the dept to have a few more tenured faculty positions; Seely worked his butt off as dept. chair, but still made it to class prepared and enthusiastic about teaching.

He is seriously the most caring prof I have ever met! He'll go out of his way to help you and make sure you're doing well. He is a bit absent-minded but I think he's hilarious
