Comment:

There is a lot of work required for this class, however it is all useful and important. Mr. Farrell is a very thoughtful, considerate teacher. He can come off as quiet but he's just a reserved sort of guy. I would totally take a class with him again.

This guy is awesome! very helpful, and very understanding. i wish all my professors were like him. notes are on-line so you still have them if you miss class, but it is good to go so you can understand concepts better. great professor, highly recommend.

Great guy!! I'm not a science person so I didn't think the class was easy, but I did fine. The labs are easy points, pretty much straight forward and if you do the work, you get out within 30-60 minutes and get full points. Also, he has all of his lecture material online so if you miss class, you miss out on his demonstrations but have the notes!

Very nice guy. Helpful if you have any questions. Easy attendance points for lab sessions. Kind of boring. Tests can be difficult due to poor wording. Not the easiest class, but not the hardest class either.

He is a very nice guy. Loves what he teaches. He can sometimes get confused, but he will come back the next class and show you the correct answer. VERY helpful if you go see him in his office and likes get to know his students.

It's difficult material but he's a real nice guy and is real negotiable too. Quizzes quite a bit, never cancels class, tests aren't that bad.

Pretty good teacher. All notes are taken from the book which is excellent. The labs consist of coming to class to fill out a worksheet. Pretty easy and the tests are pretty darn easy as well.

4 days a week at 8:00am....other than that, it was a great class. Labs are completion points, show up, and get an A. Lot's of interesting demos, tests can be moderately difficult, but all in all the class isn't bad.

Very boring! If you take this at 8am you will get some great sleep...but you will learn very little. Read the book and the online notes and you will do fine.

Yes, he is very "grandpa-like." His class was embarassingly easy (He once told me step by step how to bookmark a website - for what reason I don't know), but is nice enough to put a smile on anyone's face

By far the nicest guy at the university. 4 tests including the final (which is not cumulative!). Curves tests, and a lot of extra credit opportunities.

This guy really cares about you! Ask questions, he really likes to answer them. He makes his tests very fair, not too easy or hard, and you learn a lot.
