Comment:

He made me feel stupid most of the time, a lot of quizzes and tests, and a very short time to teach. So basically you are going to have to teach yourself most of the time, which makes no sense, why would you take a class if you are going to teach yourself most of the time?

Comment:

I failed CHEM 124 last semester and got an A this semester in CHEM 122! He totally changed my perspective on chemistry; I hated it going into this class but came out actually liking it. He is very understanding and wants you to succeed/learn. Chemistry is always a difficult class, but he makes it bearable and helps you understand it! 10/10.

Professor Cannell is one of the best teachers I have ever had! He does not use a textbook he provides all the information you need for the exams in handouts that you work through with him in class lectures. Chemistry has never been easier! There are no surprises on tests everything you need to know is in the packets

Comment:

Do not take his class. He is very arrogant and disrespectful. Every time you try to ask him a question he makes you feel so stupid that you have no desire to learn or ask questions. He moves with the material so fast,with as little examples of a problem as possible. You basically have to teach yourself. Very disappointed I wasted my money and time.

I can never ask him for help because every time I do he makes me feel so stupid and he basically says figure it out on your own. He's rude for no reason at all, he's a teacher that's his job to help students learn and help them if they are confused, not get annoyed whenever someone asked a question. He is way too cocky, terrible teacher.

I took his hybrid class and his online lectures were very thorough and clear. You need to review the old material, as the lessons build on one another. He always responded to my emails quickly and did his best to help and explain things. He is respectful, wants you to do well in the class, and has a good sense of humor. I highly recommend him!!

Comment:

He was AWESOME! Chem is super difficult, but he broke up the serious lectures with a bit of comedy. There was a lot of time for discussion and he was very patient with questions. He even sat down with me and discussed career options that I could pursue in chemistry! Chem in general is hard, but he made it a lot easier, and offered tons of help.

Awesome! I took the online class. Most organized online class I have ever taken. The class takes a lot of work and time but kind of what you'd expect from a chem class. I emailed him all the time. Always got right back to me. Take his class!

Comment:

Super amazing prof in my opinion. The class was really hard for me, but it was chem so that was expected. I was happy with my grade, and he was super helpful! The only thing was that the lectures took a LOT of time to watch and take notes off of. (I had a hard time staying awake to watch them!) Labs were fairly easy though.

Comment:

I took Chem 122 with Kevin Cannell and the class was very difficult and fast paced with an exam every 2 weeks. I didn't feel he explained all concepts well during the lectures. He was not willing to help me succeed in this course so I was stuck teaching myself the material to prepare for exams.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! He's AMAZING! In general, Chemistry is a tough class.. but he makes it so easy! If you're finding difficulty in something, he's there to help you. His lectures are very clear, and he explains everything. You don't need to buy the book, he's going to give you the chapters unit by unit, which makes it easier and clearer for you.

He is very helpful if you are struggling with material or worried about your grade in this course. This class is difficult so you HAVE to make it to class for lecture and make it to labs or your grade will plummet. Overall, he is great.

If you took chemistry in high school and paid attention, this class is an easy A. Mr. Cannell works through lecture notes as a class, and uploads online lectures. He is kind, caring, and reasonable and truly wants you to succeed.

Overall, Mr. Cannell is an excellent teacher! I wasn't sure about CHEM, but his instruction makes the content tangible, both through in class lecture and the lab exercises. He has high expectations, but those are attainable as long as you pay attention and don't allow yourself to get behind. I would definitely take another class with him!

I've had the pleasure of being in Prof Cannells hybrid Chem class! The best decision; his power points are straight forward. As long as you watch the videos and fill out your packets you'll do fine. People who've expressed problems in this class because they don't put in the effort and expected classmates to do all the work for answers. MY VOTE YES

Comment:

He uses real life examples often instead of just teaching straight from the book. He understands that there is a lot of material and is available if you need extra help. The tests are not bad if you use the pink book. He also includes practice quizzes at the end of each note packet. Overall a great professor.

Comment:

The textbook for Prof. Cannell's 122 course is optional because he hands out note packets and lectures with them. He's good at answering questions, although sometimes unsure how to answer. He's available by email or in his office frequently. He tells short, funny anecdotes that relate to the material being covered. Overall, I've enjoyed his class.

Comment:

Cannell is clear with what he is expecting. No textbook, just print outs which was nice. However, the tests were hard and there were a lot of quizzes. Also, when I asked questions, he treated me and the other students like we were dumb. I could never ask for help because he was too intimidating and acted annoyed when he had to explain things.

Comment:

This class was complex and difficult, and I did not find the teacher helpful at all. He was actually rude at times. It was not a comfortable room to be in with him. I would not recommend taking him, there are many other teachers who I am sure are better.
