Comment:

Don't bother going to class, it counts for nothing; effort and commitment are not considered, only how you score on two tests; I never missed a class; tests are too difficult for this level, especially when most of the class fails them; no extra credit or way to raise your grade;

Very thorough & I can easily follow what he's saying; teaches at a level most can learn at (especially if you have ADHD like me!) but doesn't make you feel stupid. Very open & accepting of questions & will definitely help you outside of class. Nice, kind, helpful. I wish he taught Chem112 as well! I love him as a professor.

Comment:

Professor Klino is a really good professor. Im taking chemistry 101 and coming from never learning chemistry in high school I have learned a lot so far. He is a tough grader however if you need help he has office hours and always encourages students to attend and also suggests other study methods. He does cover a lot of material at once be ready

Amazing professor! Both Chem101 & Chem111! He really cares about his students and he explains the concept very well! If he was teaching Chem112, I'd take him again!

Comment:

You really cannot ask for a better professor. He may make mistakes in lecture, but he gives HOURS and HOURS extra weekly to his students. Love the sense of humor too! Prof Klino genuinely cares about teaching. I was so demanding of him and he went the extra mile. Even found he extra worksheets (lots) for 112. Simply the best at SUNY Cobleskill.

Comment:

He is all over the place in lecture and makes frequent mistakes, both with material and grading. Students constantly correct his mistakes. Hard to learn. Tests sound nothing like lab book questions. Almost seems intentionally confusing. You struggle even if you are good in chem. Does put in a lot of time though and will help if you ask.

Very nice. Tends to go on slight tangents, which can be a little confusing, but he's a good teacher and his lecture guides help organize notes and help with tests.

Love this lab. Lots of fun. Only problem is you tend to only be allowed to pick your partners on a very limited basis.

Takes an extremely long amount of time for pre-lab discussion, it is likely that some labs will go 3.5 hours or longer. Get Sprague if you can.
