Tough class, study class notes for quizzes and book problems for tests! Do the recommended chapter problems and don't hesitate to go to office hrs! Great teacher...not a class for slackers! Remember this is college-not high school!

Comment:

This class is fairly easy if you've had chem in highschool. Tests are hard though. Carney is hard to understand, writing is sometimes impossible to read. However, always willing to explain and help you if you need it.

Comment:

He may not be very clear, but if you attend study sessions and ask questions he does his best to answer. If you read the text before lecture, it is easier to follow him. The class is mostly problem based, and all the types of problems on the tests are covered during lecture time.

I had him for 4 years and as a chem major, i must say he is one of the most intelligent men i have ever met. He is a great guy and i thought an excellent teacher... all you have to do is study to pass... don't blame it on him if you can't follow him... hes not there to hold your hand.... just study

I had him about 10 years ago and ended up with a 52% in the class. With the curve I had a C but the curve wasn't given until after the final. He was a horrible teacher.

Alright lay off him. It is a hard class but he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I love lab with him and he is will to help me when ever i need it. He is also very funny. All you need to do to pass his class is a small thing we call study and not just the night before hand.

if you can't learn by doing just random examples without formulas and learning why things go where, you won't be able to pass this class easily.

He sucks really bad. You can't understand what he writes, he changes the lab when you get there. Not an enjoyable class whatsoever. You'll dread it.

Comment:

He knows a ton but is hard to unstand on occassion. If you are not a chemistry major I do not recommend you taking him for Gen Chem I or II. If you are a chem major take him because you will have him for upper level classes. He will always help you, ask for help!

Wow. Words can't describe how bad he is at teaching. You really have to see it to believe it. Problems on his quizes are not like the ones he goes over in class. Blue sad face for you Carney. Shame on your teaching skills.
