Good guy, genuinely likes the subject, is really good and somewhat easy over the summer. Summer class goes even slower than semester class.

Comment:

Very thorough lectures and quite clear on what is expected on the tests. Some test questions come directly from book exercises. Meyer is pretty laid back as far as chemists go and his sarcastic humor is amusing at times. Great class overall.

Comment:

Meyer is uninterested in his students and hides this disinterest behind an "extreme" knowledge of Chemistry. No need to attend class and prepare to be confused.

Comment:

Meyer was a good professor, but his tests were kinda hard. They weren't hard to do well on if you know your stuff. He doesn't recycle old questions as much cause some kids complained about that. Why, I don't know. But if you know the material, his exams are straightforward. Good lecturer too.

Comment:

Meyer is a wonder professor and he is very nice. He covers everything that is relevant and is very clear about what will be on exams and what won't be on exams. He emails you back within a day and cares about the material he is teaching. I am so sad that I won't be able to have him next sem. Study the old exams cuz ALL the questions are recycled.

Comment:

Definitely cynical and sarcastic during lectures. He'll pick on students who ask questions. But at the same time, extremely funny and entertaining. No textbook for this class. Lectures are useful but sometimes often Wikipedia supplement. Midterms come straight out of the HW packet. Class is easier than most ECE courses.

Comment:

Prof. Meyer is the most useless professor in the department (if he even shows up for class). He is uniterested in his students and is extremely aloof! He takes him home life out at work and all he seems to care about is running.

Comment:

The most absolutely ridiculous professor at Hopkins. Would stand there after the ENTIRE class had failed an exam and lecture on how we had not taken the time to learn the material. I highly doubt that 300 people all didn't take the time to learn the material.

Comment:

He was friendly and approachable. He definitely cares about whether his students learn the material. Some of the problems in this class stem from the TAs and the size of the class. Meyer ultimately doesn't grade the tests and figures out how the class is doing based on what the TAs say which is slightly problematic. He does try to fix any problems.

Most heinous prof ever. Very unsympathetic and unapproachable. Arrogant... I'd rather stick a pen in my eye than ever take his class again.

Make no mistake, Meyer hates you and everything you stand for. He is entertaining and brilliant though and respects brilliance and little else.

AWESOME. Best chemistry professor at Hopkins. And he's a real human being- you can actually talk to him like a normal person (how many other professors are like that). One of the best professors overall, in fact...

Professor Meyer is a decent professor. He is very very cynical (as mentioned before), he is also funny at times. Tests are fair, and his lectures are clear. He also hates M$, which is a plus.
