Comment:

Mr. Churchill is an amazing teacher, I am taking his class and trust me the homework matches the exams. He puts up the work so you can check it on canvas and he explains things many times if needed. Labs are fun and lab test are not that bad if you study. He is so kind & does not have mental issues, people are just mad they failed for not trying.

The lectures drag, reads off the slides, and the book is a waste of money. The book was written by him and is literally just the powerpoint slides printed out.

Comment:

Dr. C does not have mental issues for the lazy bags that are saying his tests don't match homework obviously never took the time to do the homework twice. I felt CHM 1 was harder that his class. He is very soft spoken. Don't wait for someone to hold your hand and STUDY for COLLEGE; If you are not a math person go to his office and he will help :)

Love this man- Dr. C. taught me to love chemistry. Yes, he reads off the slides but this is college not high school.. He wants you to ask questions during lecture!!! AND homework is exactly THE SAME as exams- trust me. He even says if you do homework 2x you'll be set. He created the textbook, he knows his stuff, he is SUPER nice and CRAZY smart.

Comment:

Do not take him. Dr Churchhill I never had a teacher that likes to talk to him self. I believe he has serious mental issues and is not fit to be teaching chemistry at any level. His exams do not match up with his homework

Comment:

The work is made ten times harder than it needs to be and lab quizzes are impossible to study for until you take the first one and fail. The answer choices for unit exams are misleading and horrible. Lectures are hard to learn from and follow. Grades consist of lab quizzes, labs, and exams. Not a bad person but should consider diff teaching styles.

Comment:

Don't follow the rest of these reviews. He tells you to study the homework/quizzes multiple times in order to pass the exam. I studied both the homework and quizzes x5 and got a 67% on that exam and I walked into it super confident because I knew exactly what I was doing on all of the problems. The lectures are just reading from the book too

Comment:

Church was very nice. The exams were easy if you study notes and do hw. His notes are very easy to follow. Do the problems in notes. Then the hw will be easy. Labs were also easy. I will say, I don't like the lab quizzes, I think that should be taken out.

Comment:

Chemistry is hard in general, & he is very willing to help with anything you're struggling with. As long as you do his homework (not mandatory) & study the notes, the exams will be easy. Lab quizzes (multiple choice) are also easy as long as you memorize/study the lab notes. His lectures are dreadful, but notes are self explanatory. Great teacher!

I took Dr Churchill during an 8 week summer course, so definitely sped up. Labs are super easy, lecture is easy. Super approachable and is super friendly. Make sure to do the homework problems at least 3 times. Practice exams are exactly the same as exams, just numbers changed.

Comment:

Definitely knowledgable about chem. I found it hard to understand his lectures so I had to teach myself the material, but he always answered every question I had. DO THE HOMEWORK 2+ times, the test will be a breeze. lab quizzes are all memorization. Lab reports- easy. Final grade replaces your lowest test score. grades on a 12.5 based-scale.

Comment:

Dr. Churchill is absolutely the best Chemistry professor at Moraine Valley. He knows what he's doing and very helpful. If you do the homework, you will be 100% ready for the test. He doesn't grade anything but tests, and lab quizzes. Also, lectures aren't boring at all, he'll always joke around.
