Comment:

Great guy. Fantastic stories, but they're completely unrelated to the class. If you don't already know the topic, he's hard to understand. Doesnt use book except for hw. Homework isn't due till end of semester. Kind of lax on everything, made it hard to learn.

Fantastic teacher! I've dreaded this class for two years, and he made it one of my best experiences at Kish. I'm a nursing grad, so this was just another class I needed to keep moving. Great stories, great teacher, great experience. I'll really miss him!

Love listening to his stories. Good teacher, he tries to make sure you understand what is going on. Very willing to help out if you do not understand. Only use the book for homework. Make sure you go to class and take notes.

Comment:

Probably the nicest man I have ever met! He will do whatever it takes to ENSURE that everyone passes his class. I found his is CHEM 110 class to be VERY easy. He does not believe in requiring students to memorize anything. He just wants us to UNDERSTAND the material, & will spend as much time as anyone wants on material til it is completely unde

Roger is the best teacher! He is funny and very helpful and makes chemistry interesting, alot of Nursing students must take this class, so its frustrating at times. But he helps you thru it. Just come to class every day and pay attention, and let him know what you don't understand.

His stories are the best! Except the one about his cousin and the fence pole. Makes sure you understands the material, you just have to let him know that you don't get it.

Comment:

Roger is just a great guy. I'm a dumbass when it comes to chemistry, and although it's still not entirely clear, I'd be lost without roger. He seems like he really enjoys helping students out, which is a quality you can't find in many college professors. highly recommend!

Comment:

Full of stories, but is interested and knowledgeable about the material. He gives home number and encourages everyone to call at any day/time. Gives assitance with grades-if borderline and you try hard, he will bump you up to next grade level!

Dr. Layton cares about his students and will bend over backwards to help them succeed. He likes to tell stories, so not all of class time is spent learning about chemistry. Study the book to get a complete education in basic chemistry.

Very nice, friendly guy. Impossible to keep on topic, and he skips around a lot. I would not take him again, which I am very sorry to say because he is so much fun.

Roger is a GREAT teacher. Vhemistry - take Roger and learn. Non Chemistry poeple need to take Rogers class. Very laid back. Far, easy going, but not a push over. Show up, study, put in the effort and you will PASS

Comment:

Roger is by far, my favorite profressor. He brings practical experience (invaluable!) to the classroom. I wish I could have him for more classes. He makes you want to do good & not just "get by". Additionally, Roger makes a strong effort to get kids to stay in his class and get them through this tough subject.

Had him summer 2006. He's awesome teacher. Makes you very comfortable in school. Doesn't make you feel like an idiot for asking questions. I once told him flat out I had no idea what he was talking about and he explained everything all over again. Very cool teacher.

Rodger is the man! Ask him about his model planes and ships, to get him off topic.
