Comment:
One of the worst professors Ive ever had. Does not post grades online. Gets his own answers wrong on the homework that he writes, so good luck learning from his examples. Makes the class way harder than a general chemistry course should be. Condescending when you ask for clarification on subject matter. No mercy.

He's extremely knowledgeable about chemistry, and has had years of practice so he's good at talking about it and answering questions. Also knows his way around a chalk board. Grades kinda hard. Only issue is he seems incapable of answering most questions without a condescending tone.

Dr. See is an incredible prof! Very clear and is willing to explain something a thousand times just so a student will understand something. Very caring of his students. Would take again for sure!

I took Dr. See for a three week summer session. I would recommend this over the full semester course. There was a lot of information in a three week period, but he broke it up into two exams that weren't cumulative and had quizzes and lab reports that helped boost your grades. On exams he also allowed an index card with formulas or notes.

Comment:
A very hard class if you arent good at math, because most of the class is using equations. Lab seemed impossible sometimes. Dr. See is a good professor but he has a tendency to make it a big deal for not understanding something. Got help in office hours but I felt like all he did was refer me to my notes. Alright guy but really hard class.

The class is 50 minutes one day a week. Before spring break we talked about majors in the chem dept. Talked about careers that people would not usually think about. After break there were two professors that presented their research here at IUP. It was nice to hear about all the research that is happening and all the different projects.

Dr. See was great for lab. Each lab we had a 10 point quiz and lab reports are due each week. He likes to talk a lot at the beginning of class and can be a little confusing, but when preforming labs he was always willing to answer questions or check my work for accuracy.

Comment:
If you're not good at chemistry, don't consider taking him. He's a good teacher but you need to have good understanding before taking him. You won't ever get out of class early and missing class isn't a big deal if you know how to understand someone's notes. Quizzes every two weeks just about. Gives examples but he answers them. Kind of snarky.

Dr. See is a very interesting professor. He has a really great teaching style that outlines the notes perfectly for you. He messes up a lot when he's giving the notes, but it's really funny when he does. He likes to laugh at himself, and trust me, we like to laugh at him too! He was always there to answer your questions. Taking him for chem 112!

Dr. See is a great educator. There is absolutely no B.S. in his lectures, everything he presents is useful. (except for some log scale he made about the value of diplomas, though I thought that was kinda cool anyhow...) Do not be afraid to work, and during office hours he's super helpful. Rather frank, so don't expect him to "beat around the bush"

Belittles students. Not recommended for those who have difficulty with chemistry. Does not explain equations thoroughly. Not consistent in his grading. I tried to visit him during office hours, and he answered every question I asked in a condescending tone.

Lectures are very clear, teaches well with many examples. he will always give you help when you need it. part of your tests are the homeworks you get for each chapter. he tells you how it is. attendance is not mandatory but you wont pass if you skip class.

I had him for Lab and it was the best decision I ever made. He tells us what is useless and he's extremely straight forward. He can come off a little snarky but he's easy and the pre labs are pretty easy too. I'm taking him again next semester for 112.

Avoid at all costs if you dont understand chem that well. He isnt much help. He doesnt care about students or helping them learn. he even said to us that it was a 'weed out' course and said that the people who withdrew from it were stupid for taking it in the first place. you have to teach yourself the material. he just isn;t a good teacher.

I had Dr. See for Chem 111 Lab, and it was super easy. He is a nice guy, but comes off a little cocky when you ask a question. I had to do all the labs by myself because my partner was useless. I recommend taking him for lab! I ended up finishing with a B.

Very nice professor; fair in his grading, and gives well outlined notes to use. Gives a quiz once a week on book work from lectured material. Has only midterm and final. Do the homework, study for understanding and go to him if you are having trouble. Do all that, and you'll do just fine
