Ben was my lab instructor for this course. He's very knowledgeable about chemistry and was available for help in and out of lab. He is very personable and easy to talk to. Not a super difficult course, but you do need to come prepared and really understand the material you're working on to get the grade you want.

Ben is the best Lab Assistant you could ask for! He always helps you with all your questions and he makes lab super interesting. If Dr. Perry seems intimidating, Ben softens the blow. I wish he could teach all of my labs. Ask a bunch of questions if you don't understand. He will even work you through the pre labs if you don't understand.

He is a super good lab instructor. He breaks down the content in a way that's easily understood. He also can help with things you don't understand from lecture. In my opinion he's better than my actual Chem proffessor. Obviously attendance is mandatory because it's a lab. I would recommend him

Mr. Scheuter was one of my best professors this semester. Genuinely glad I took him as my lab instructor. His level of difficulty doesn't mean you'll fail though. Just ask him questions and be prepared to work and learn.

Ben was super helpful! He's always willing to answer any questions that you may have. He's super nice & very knowledgeable about each subject. The lab quizzes aren't hard at all; just skim over the lab sheet right before, and you'll do fine. There's also bonus on the quizzes! I would definitely take him again if I could.

Ben is really a great lab instructor, he does have pre lab quizzes, but they're usually pretty easy just make sure you read over the background of the lab. He doesn't grade hard at all. The only way you can fail in this lab is to not show up. Super easy, great lab instructor.

Mr. Ben Scheuter is a excellent lab instructor. He explains the material so clearly and is available during times outside of the lab. I would recommend anyone to take him because he although he is just a lab instructor he takes time out of the day to make sure you understand the concept no matter how many times you ask for help.
