as long as you study you can easily pass

This was the easiest Chemistry class that I have ever taken. If you go to class an A is not a problem at all. He is actually pretty humorous too.

dude is crazy, hilarious to watch in action, too smart for his own good. great moustache though

Wow. He is hilarious, but I don't think he's trying to be. I studied the night before tests and pulled out a B. The class is worth it just to watch him and his extra long mustache.

As long as you do the homework problems that he assigns, you will do well on the test. He's hilarious in class and a really nice guy. He's very excited about what he does!

He is a really fun teacher and makes the class smile. If you have taken chemistry in the past you will do fine. I would definately suggest doing the homework or at least understanding the majority of it.

A very good and dedicated teacher. Anyone who wants to get a true understanding of Chemistry should be in his class.WAR EAGLE!!!!

Great Teacher, very funny. You have to work, but if you know the book you will be fun. He has a mustache that covers his entire mouth.

So hillarious... puts alot of thought into teaching and really tries to reach out ot students who don't care about science.... like most who sign up for concepts. The class isn't too easy but definetly not painful. His class is fun to go and just watch

This dude is funny. If he were younger, he would be a ****. Does cool demos. Tests are a challege but fair, tells you all the topics the class period before.

really goofy, but knows his stuff. great teacher and tests are not hard as long as you study some. would recommend having chemistry before this. great man.

Great guy who wants his students to succeed unlike many professors. Definitely a good choice because he is very set on trying to make you understand the harder stuff. Go to class and stay awake!! If u sleep in there only u r 2 blame 4 an F! WAR EAGLE!!

it's impossible to stay awake in there. he is so boring, he has his moments where he is funny but all in all boring. you don't have to go to calss at all you can just read the book and make straight a's. everything he tests on comes straight from the book

Great teacher. Really knows his material. Can be boring at times. Tests come straight from the homework. He's about as easy as they come.

Great Teacher! Readily available when you need assistance. Tests are from the Homework. Final is from old tests. Great professor, easy to listen to. Definatly take Dr. Illies

This class is a joke..IF YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK. I did pretty much every problem he assigned and worked the examples in the book and had a 97 average. It is time consuming though.

Chemistry is hard in itself.. but Dr. Illies knows his stuff.. and is fun to look at *his mustache cracks me up*... he is soo nice.. and wants you to do well.. Go to class though.. he gets anal bout not going.. and takes role a lot.... But good guy

Great goofy guy hard class and boring just because its chemistry but he is entertaing. Heard the easiest at AU.

Dr. Illies is great. His tests are not that hard- just study. His notes are from the book so you could just read the book and be fine. Go to class- even though it's boring- because he likes to see you in class.

The easiest chem teacher at auburn. I never went to class. Get the old tests and its a breeze.

Ok heres the deal ...Get the old tests...this guy uses the same questions just changes the the numbers around. Going to class doesnt really help .. You need to spend time studying though.Do the homework &study the old tests

He is a funny guy to watch because his mustache covers his mouth. The class was extremely easy. I didn't study a whole lot and still made an A. Gives extra credit on tests and changes grading scheme to help people pass. Also brings cool experiments into the classroom.

Great teacher, great class, learned a lot!

One of the greatest professors I have ever had. He made chemistry very interesting and enjoyable. A very nice guy too.

I thought I hated Chemistry, until I had Illies. He knows his stuff and how to relay it to you and he makes it entertaining. He's very funny. If you have to take Chem take him.

I had a hard time in chem I, but I thought this class was easier. He really explained the concepts & how to do the problems. He tells you what questions to expect on tests, & puts the formulas on the tests. But, he doesnt give much bonus.

This man is so funny. I love him to death. I failed the class the first time I took it with another teacher, and have a B in his class! From what I have heard, this man is your best bet for concepts!

kind of off the wall hippie type, but easy to understand, IF YOU GO TO CLASS. He gives you test questions on low attendance days.

SHHH! This is some serious ****! The best line of the whole class this summer! Overall he is an okay teacher. Study the notes! The book is too detailed. The lab really helps your grade! So go every meeting! I ended up with a C. Not what I wanted to make but at least I can get on with life. Work hard and you'll do well.

The NICEST guy if you go to office hours (obsessed with environment stuff)! Lectures had nothing to do with tests... class is really hard, but he is very helpful!! I would take Bailey if you want an easy A!

Very straightforward. The tests are not too difficult (remember, this is Chemistry II, not bowling!). He is VERY helpful if you go to his office and talk to him... plus he is just hysterical in class at times. I highly reccommend, plus I hear he has a good SI instructor for the Spring '05 semester, so that could help too.

illies is by far my favorite teacher i have had so far at auburn. this guy knows his stuff and he is hilarious. tests arent too bad, i had no clue how to do some of the stuff on one test and still got a B.

This isnt PE 1500, this is a hard class. Good guy, tests arent that bad. go to class and look at the notes

I found his class to be enjoyable. He can be quite a character in class. Tests aren't easy. You have to know what's going on. But I think he does the best he can to make the material as understandable as possible.

Quit whining. This is chemistry not bowling. Get copies of old tests and you'll ace them all like I did. You still have to work a little though. Gotta love the lectures. "Allllriiiiight."

Great teacher. Funny in class. Class is no problem with old tests.

"Allllriiiiight." Illies was a trip. He was very funny in class and tried to explain the material as best as he could. His tests were hard but they were doable if you did the problems and studied. He is a good teacher, it's just a hard subject. Final was not that bad.

Easy a, hes an awesome teacher and really gets into what he is talking about, tests arnt hard at all if you study...

Great teacher, explains things very well. Tests are difficult, but no problem at all if you have the old tests.

his class wasn't easy but it is manageable. i came out with A i studied hard at least three days before the exams. The bad thing is that he only has two tests and final. however, his tests are not that hard. if you know the stuff you will be fine. funny teacher

He is really random in class and gets off the subject a bit. He also only has 2 tests and a final so not a lot of room for error. But he scales big time. My friend got a D on both tests and freaked on the final and left half blank and she got a C. I probably should have gotten a B but I got an A.

Pretty good teacher. Easier class compared to other 1040 Professors. Failed Donnelly and then took Illies and he was wayy easier. 2 tests and the final. 10% of your grade is attendance, so it helps to go to class but not mandatory. I gave my clicker to a firend and just did all the homework questions for tests and did fine. Very nice guy.

He is one of the best 1040 teachers at AU. I had to drop Blumenthal's class, and Illies was a breeze compared to him. Do all of the homework problems and you'll be fine. The final was kinda tough, a lot more new material than he said would be on it. Attendance is mandatory, but he gives you 3 free days to miss, which isn't bad. Pretty funny guy too

Great teacher! He simplified all of the concepts so that everyone could understand. His tests were extremely fair. If you do the homework, you do well on the exams. And he's a nice guy as well, which always helps.

Overall, pretty easy teacher. 2 tests, a final, and attendance is 10% of your grade so go to class! It really helps. Tests are very fair and very easy if you understand the homework, which is also pretty easy. I would definintely take him again if I had to take another Chem class.

Illies is a great teacher. His tests are very fair but you need to study to make the grade. He will help you in office hours.

Illies is a great teacher. There are only 2 test and a final which is very intimidating, but its not that bad. He is really nice and helpful and honestly wants his students to learn. Take him if you can

His class was really hard, but feasible. What I hated the most about his class was that he rambled on about the stupidest things, and hurry though the important stuff. He doesn't post his notes on blackboard and he thinks he hears noises when there are none. Also he uses clickers to check attendance. I passed his class but I'm glad it's over!

He honestly wants all students to do well, and he'll call you out if you continuously disrupt class. He was very animated and he held my focus easily. If you know the problems he does in class backwards and forewards, you'll do great on the tests. Final was alot like the other tests. Go to class. Definitely take Illies if you can for any subject.
