Comment:
Very knowledgeable man, but boring and he goes off topic a lot. Exams are tricky but fair. Lectures are horrible so don't expect to learn a lot from it. Read your textbook and make sure you make good cheat sheets for his exams. He is a nice person.

On my short list of worst professors, he's at the top. Told us the first day of class that he "was not here to teach." No homework; tests are tricky. I had to basically teach my lab section of the class; the labs utilize almost no technology and are more poorly organized than the CHEM 111 labs I taught the same semester. Worst experience ever.

Helser is pretty hard to understand, but hes a good guy. Extremely smart and loves chemistry, hes a good sense of humor if you get talking with him. Take him if you have a lot of interest in chemistry, youll really appreciate what he teaches you. If you dont have any interest, id suggest steering clear, because he is a little hard to understand.

This class is definitely worth taking with Dr. Helser. He's very intelligent, helpful and has a good sense of humor. He is very approachable and willing to help. Class is interesting as he sometimes goes off topic to tie in the material with every day examples. Lab does require some thinking, but isn't terrible. Tests are straightfoward.

Very essentric, dresses like a cowboy. Doesn't really teach. He just mumbles sutff, asks you questions expects you to know everything on your own. Not helpful one bit. Exams are very tricky. His labs really suck too and take a lot of work.

Biochemistry, a difficult enough class in general. This guy doesnt help one bit to make it easy. Nice guy, but really bad at explaining clearly. Avoid if possible

Cool guy with a good sense of humor and enthusiasm for chemistry- don't be afraid of him! Fear the material though- and lab does suck.

Ok, so this guy, he's really nice. But as a teacher, he sucks. you have to write your own labs-this is an UNDERGRAD course. He doesnt talk loud enough and doesnt explain anything. no help whatsoever when you ask him questions. kill yourself before you take this class.

WORST EVER! Be prepared to work and work. Wicked hard class, hopefully you will get by with a C! Very confusing and he doesn't clarify anything. Good Luck.
