Comment:

Dr. Anderson is an exemplary professor. He knows his topic really well and is accessible outside of class. He curves the class at the end but definitely knows when you are trying. He goes above and beyond to try to help you if you ask for it. His lectures are concise and easy to follow. 10/10 would take another class taught by him.

Comment:

Dr. Anderson had an uncanny ability to know my strengths and weaknesses better than I knew them myself. Perhaps it's because of his extensive experience of teaching and practicing chemistry, but Dr. Anderson changed the way I view the figure of a science teacher. I was not a chemistry major before I took his class.

Comment:

A great chemistry professor. He makes his lectures enjoyable and explains clearly. He's very encouraging and a fair grader! Always gives partial credit. You have to put in work, it's not that easy. But listen well to his lectures since the tests are based on that and not necessarily the book.

Professor Anderson is AMAZING. Best prof I've ever had. You need to show up (mistake I made a couple times) but his lectures are great, the tests are straightforward, and organic chemistry is FUN! I'm so glad I was able to learn it from this man and look forward to taking his class again next semester. Take. His. Class. Dont need to read. Just hw.

Dr. Anderson is the single best teacher I have ever had. If you attend class, take good notes, and really focus on the material there is no reason you shouldn't be able to get and A. He is a truly genuine and kind teacher who cares deeply about every one of his students. PLEASE do yourself a favor and take him for as many classes as possible!

Comment:

Great teacher, but for goodness sake KEEP UP with lectures in the book. It gets a LOT harder if you slack for a few weeks. Tough material but GREAT TEACHER who is happy to help you find a way to understand. Will also answer email questions promptly and often if you need help on lab concepts the night before it's due. Highly recommended.

Comment:

Dr. Anderson's lectures are clear and if you take notes, STUDY them and the book as well, you should be fine. Tough course and there's A LOT of reactions, try learning the mechanisms instead of attempting to memorize everything. Grading is super fair and his tests are reasonable. Watch out for the conceptual multiple choice though, those are tough!

DR. ANDERSON ROCKS. He is so helpful and genuinely wants to make sure you understand the material. His lectures are very clear and organized. Definitely do the homework assignments and practice tests and attend all the classes! I will only take Chem22 with him because he is SUCH a great teacher. My favorite at SMC!

Prof. Anderson was the first chem teacher I had that I felt gave fair tests. DO ALL THE HW. If you do all hw the test will be very straight forward. He really cares about his students unlike most and really wants to see you get a good grade.

Dr. Anderson has great lectures but the way to succeed in this class in by doing ALL his recomended homework problems and then doing them again. As far as his grading, it is fair. I can tell you it gets MUCH easier at the very end, he tries to help you out as much as possible. Great Professor.

He is the best teacher for organic chemistry. SOme people says his class is impossible but actually not too tricky if you listen to his lecture carefully and do the problems in the book. Make sure to keep up with material thou.

Work HARD and PUT IN EFFORT INTO THE LABS. I'm waiting to take Chem 22 in the summer with him and only with him. LOVE LOVE AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR ANDERSON. TAKE HIM

Comment:

The pros: he knows chemistry. He is approachable (though the last few semesters he wasn't quite himself). The cons: his lecture isn't the greatest. I found his lectures/notes are little more than a review of the book,so expect to teach yourself from the textbook. Tests are unnecessarily hard. I got an A, but I'm not sure I'd take him again.
