Comment:

Great guy, very clear with what he expects. Gives quizzes on previous week's lecture, and holds a study session every week for the quiz/exam. Drops lowest exam grade. Attendance is mandatory if you want to pass. Not an easy class, but if you work hard, you will do well. Dr. Snyder really cares about his students. It is a shame he is retiring.

He is an absolutely AMAZING professor. He goes out of his way to help all of his students and he teaches in a way that makes the material easy to understand. He writes everything he says on the board so if you can't take notes by ear you can copy them all down. He makes class interesting by telling jokes to help everyone relax.

FANTASTIC teacher. go to the study sessions, or make arrangements to meet with him another time. quiz every week but its to enforce the material. you need to do the homework to pass. And if he knows you he is a great person to ask for future recommendations. He also teaches lab on occasion and is the best lab prof/professor at the school.

The blood on stone approach is nice. No powerpoints. Quizzes every thursday helped understand the material for exams. I found chem hard; since taking this class with dr. synder, I have a new appreciation for this subject. He is a very fair grader and if you put the work in, its not a hard class to get an A in.

He is a great professor very clear about the material, which is pretty difficult. you need to study and do the work if you expect to pass the class and he is very helpful when you need him. you get a weekly quiz on the material and a test after every 3 quizzes. would recommend him if you want to put in the effort!!

I wish there were more professors like him in school these days. He is awesome.The only way to pass this class is to study study STUDY. He offers every week study sessions which are extremely helpful because everything he goes over in study sessions are for sure going to be on future exams and quizzes. I would highly recommend him.

BEST TEACHER EVER!!!! I love Snyder! He's so funny and so helpful. I hate chemistry with a passion, and it is really hard but he'll do anything he can to help you! He even has study sessions every week and tells you ahead of time topics that are on the final. He'll help you with your labs too. Make friends with him!!! It will definitely pay off!!!

If you have a hard time understanding chem,take this class.He makes what is difficult to learn easy to understand. There is a quiz evry Thurs which helps boost up your overall grade and 3 exams, but he drops the lowest one.Extra help sesion every Wed.It really helps because he lets you know what is going to be on the exam.Overall good class!

Not sure if its a gift or him caring for students, but he will know everyones name regardless if you ever even met the man. He is always very helpful and will answer whatever questions. He hold 2 hour help sessions every week, and will tell you what to expect on the exam. Very recomended and an overall great guy.

LOVED this class. It is in no way an easy class but he goes out of his way to help even holding a 2 hour help session once a week before each quiz/test. It is a time consuming class

Do not join this class if you aren't willing to study and work hard. This class can be time consuming, along with lab. Snyder's a great professor, he offers extra help every week and he is wants to see his students do well. Snyder's course has a lot of consistency, every wk is a quiz and after every 3rd quiz is an exam and so forth. Take him!!!

Fun and interesting class, but no walk in the park. Must put in 110% if you want to get an A. Offers extra credit session, which boost up overall grade. Gives quizzes every week, which add up to a test grade. CAUTION avoid Saroj Kapoor, and Michael Taylor as lab professors, or you will suffer. Take Jan E. Pikul, makes lab FUN.

I love Dr. Snyder. He is a very nice guy. He is respectful of his students and definitely goes above and beyond to help them do well in class. Chemistry is a very difficult subject, but he tries to make it interesting. He has no control over lab, but yes, the lab sucks! Don't expect to not do your part and get a good grade. You have to work at it
