Comment:

Dr. Mel is a very smart man, but a very poor teacher. He is judgemental of your questions and says "look it up in the book" a lot. He will stand over your shoulder during labs and nit pick everything you are doing, even if you are doing it right. His tests never reflect the homework or assignments given. Overall I respect the man, but he is tough.

Comment:

Dr. Schriver is one of the worst teachers I've ever had. He doesn't explain any of the labs & he isn't very willing to help. He's very judgemental when you ask a question. He's the main reason I'm thinking of switching schools because he makes school so much harder than it has to be.

Comment:

If you want uni. to feel like glorified high school, then this is the class and university for you. Lots of assignments that do not really help when you are writing tests/finals. Instead, they take up all your time that could be used actually studying and learning the material. Not overly impressed.....

This course has been a challenge but I feel as though I can accomplish anything after it! The environmental studies report was my fav part of the course. Dr. Mel is by far the best prof at ABU...hands down!

Comment:

You learn alot from him as long as you can keep up with his demands. This class isn't for the weak-willed because you'll go home crying to your Mommy. You'll definetly feel like you're getting an education, but since Dr. Mel's super smart you also may feel a bit dumb. Overall, he's a great teacher.

Comment:

Best prof I had at ABU, by far. Always related the material to something that you could understand. Always willing to give extra help as long as you show that you tried to get it beforehand. He's the reason why I stayed at ABU and the one I'll miss most when I'm gone.

Very Interesting course, lots of work but it helps you understand the concepts and ideas behind the course. Mel is one of the best teachers I've ever had despite the large amounts of work that often makes you mad...haha

Excellent prof. It is very easy to become overwhelmed in this course but it requires a lot of hard work and dedication in order to succeed! It's worth it in the end because you learn about the one thing that cannot be escaped!Chemistry! He knows what students are capable of and gets it from them!:)

This class is alot of work but as far as difficulty goes it is not hard to get a good grade if you put any amount of effort into all of the assignments. Only neg. Mel sometimes says things that only students from other Mel courses would understand.

Comment:

In his own words, Dr. Schriver takes an "agressive and combative approach to learning." In other words, it's his way or no way. Even if you have an unwavering passion to learn, beware of this type of control!
