Comment:

This class makes me want to scream. The first half of the semester was a piece of cake. The second half I could not tell you what is going on. The organic chemistry sections are so difficult that I asked a friend for help who was in an upper level chem and she told me this was way harder than what she had ever done! DO NOT TAKE!!

ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO ENTER HERE! This online class was the worst learning experience I have ever had! The lectures are confusing and meant nothing on exams half the time. DO NOT take this online. Offers extra credit for early completions, but that's almost impossible considering you're teaching yourself! Only class that i've made below A!

Comment:

It's a good class as long as you stay ahead of the syllabus. If you fall behind you can drown fast. Some of the questions on the quizzes are not covered by the lecture notes or the textbook, so seek some online help for some of the concepts. Email responses and discussion responses are not very helpful. Just a regurgitation of formulas.

Comment:

This class was horrible. The professor is very unhelpful and at times a jerk. It is almost completely math, some problems I never found a solution for. There are lots of glitches in the system so many times correct answers are counted wrong. You get on quizzes and ca't move on. Stay away from this class and that professor.

I love the way the online class is set up. He breaks each section down within the chapter and puts the notes in layman's terms. Very quick response to emails with questions which is rare. Great class!

Easy A. If you don't get an A in this class it's because you didn't try. I took it online. He gives you notes that the quizzes come from. You can retake the quizzes as much as you'd like. If you finish sections before the due date you get a bonus. It's not required to use the book but recommened for more in detail examples.Highly recommended!

Comment:

Teacher seemed to love giving smart remarks to questions sent through email for the class which was taken online. Disappointed in taking the class all together which it was required. For the hours spent in tutoring getting help with this class- I felt like I should've got a better grade than what he gave. AND YES I SAID "WHAT HE GAVE"

Comment:

Chemistry 203 is a great class to take online and I really learned a lot. Some of the material is difficult but Dr. Anderson is very helpful and prompt with answering any questions you may have. One thing about this class is you HAVE to keep up with the quizzes and meet the test deadlines or you'll find yourself struggling towards the end.

This class is extremely difficult. If you do not have a chemistry degree I would not recommend this course. Yes you can take all the quizzes an unlimited amount of times, but if you cannot understand the quizzes then your pretty much screwed. You can e-mail him but he is aboutas clear as mud.

I took CHM 204 online and it was A LOT easier than CHM 203. The only math is a specific heat equation..which is in 1 lesson. THANK GOD. Dr. Anderson is pretty much a chemistry god..and I respect him for all that he does!

I took CHM 203 online. AWESOME class.You can retake quizzes as many times as you need to for an A. There is a lot of math involved..but overall it's a great class.He's a really smart fellow and is always ready to help.Some ppl struggled b/c I guess he didn't explain it in a way they could grasp.I learned a lot..kind of think CHM is cool now! lol!

I dont know what he's like as a person, but he was little help to me when I would ask him for help online. Unless your a Chemistry wizz or have a chem major to help you this class is extremly hard. The first quarter wasnt bad but the rest of the content was very hard.

Comment:

If you have to take a science class, I highly recommend taking Chemistry 203 online. Basically I finished the class in about a week with an A. You can take the quizzes over and over until you get an A, and the quiz questions are used for the test. So, just save the quezzes and you're good. I didn't even get the book.

Comment:

If you're a Nursing major I would highly suggest that you take 203/204 online. Easy A. You can take the quizzes as many times as you like, but you have to score at lease an 80 to move on. Tests are easy, same questions as quizzes. There's no way you could fail, unless you just blow the class off until the last minute.

Take CHM 203/204 online. There are around 70 quizzes, and you must score an 80% on each before moving on to the next section. However, you can take the quizzes an unlimited amount of times. The exams are from the same bank of questions as the quizzes, so print out your quizzes and use them for future reference. Easy A.

Gary Anderson does not deserve a green smiley face on here. He deserves a blue one. The people that take his online class have it easy. They would all fail if they had him in person. POGIL is stupid do not take. He made Organic a living hell and that is why I am taking it at Ashland and actually getting a good grade. I suggest you do the same!
