Comment:

He's an amazing professor and has an amazing British accent. His grades are based upon 4 exams. He edits his grading system so the C+ nursing students need to pass is manageable. He doesn't want anyone to fail. However, if you don't study for his tests, you won't pass. He'll give you all the information you need and you have to do the rest.

He is the best chemistry teacher I've ever had. He is super funny and extremely helpful. He teaches very clearly and you never have homework. He takes what you want to be on the test into consideration so that tests are fair. Highly recommend, I wish more professors were like him.

Took Anderson for Nursing Chem and he was amazing. He would make sure students knew everything they needed to know for exams. Made sure students understood everything he taught. Highly encourage any nursing freshmen to take him!

Comment:

Professor Anderson was an amazing teacher and I will definitely be taking him again for organic chemistry. He is very clear on what he expects in exams and gives partial credit on the tests. The one set back is that there are 4 exams (3 regular and 1 final) and that is all your grade is made up of. Regardless, I love this professor and he is a MUST

Dr. Anderson was one of my hands down favorite professors at Ramapo. I had him for principles of chemistry and he did an amazing job teaching the class and making sure students understood the material. He really goes over the entire powerpoint and thoroughly answers any questions students have. Also his accent makes you want to pay more attention!

Comment:

I took Anderson for Principles of Chemistry. He was an absolutely amazing professor. He kept the lectures interesting and engaging despite the heavy material of chemistry. He only graded based on tests but was a generous grader. If you struggle with chemistry I would def recommend taking him, it will be a lifesaver.

Comment:

Dr. Anderson is the best. He walked into each class with a smile, and used his pleasant British accent to effectively teach the material. He goes at a pace comfortable for everyone. He works through practice problems very similar to what is seen on a test. There was no homework, only tests, and had reviews for them. Definitely will take him again!

Comment:

Highly recommend taking him for any of his classes! He's called an easy A compared to other chem profs, but imo that's because he explains everything so clearly. An amazing lecturer and takes his time to make sure that the class actually understands the topic. Good to go to after class if you have questions. Grade is only the 3 exams and final.

Comment:

He was a wonderful professor! His lecture were easy to follow and simplified perfectly. the textbook would be helpful because he doesnt give a detailed review for the exams but doing the practice problems in the textbook help a lot. He lectures are extremely similar to the text. He also curves generously.

THE BEST CHEM PROFESSOR EVER!! Makes organic chem. so easy to understand. Took him for fundamentals of chem II and both Organic Chemistry I and II. Attendance and homework isn't required but if you don't want to get lost in all the material, do the work, show up and ask questions. He's always willing to help.

I love this guy, I took him for Orgo I and now I am taking him for Orgo II. He such a nice dude who actually knows to teach and connects with students. Even though his Orgo II class is at 8 AM, I loved every single lecture. I am never bored in his class. I wish I could take him for every class because he is that good.

Comment:

Anderson is really funny and very nice. He is too nice for his own good. He will teach you like a kindergartner but you will retain the information. He instills this excitement in learning that brings about memories of your childhood in which school and learning was fun. He's a straight up guy so don't come to him with no dodgy stuff fool.

Comment:

Good in Orgo 1, but Orgo 2 was a completely different game. Not just because the material is harder, but he purposely made his tests harder almost to prove a point about how hard it should be. It was like two different professors taught the courses, except it was the same funny guy. Also, he didn't curve in the end! (Probably to prove that point.)

Comment:

Anderson gives great lectures and is always there if you ever need help with understanding something. He is also very funny and easy to talk to. Downside is he does not give many exams so you have to perform well on all if not most of the exams to pass with a decent grade. Overall, great professor.

I couldn't be happier that I took his class! He is so funny and personable. He really makes his students feel comfortable asking him for extra help, and his lectures are interactive. I would definitely take him again!

Dr. Anderson does not give out easy As, but you will get straightforward exams along with a review before. Three short and easy homework assignments. Dr. Anderson will always go back and help explain and he is available for extra help. Definitely attend lectures and review the powerpoints that he puts online. Not bad for a GenEd requirement at all

Love love love Dr. Anderson. My favorite chemistry teacher at Ramapo. Highly recommend if you have to take chemistry. Organic chemistry is tough but if you go to him for help and go to class, you should be fine.
