He was a nice guy and went out of his way to answer WebCT questions and was very helpful during office hours. His tests were hard but do the book problems, practice test, and go to some office hours and you'll be fine.

Mult. choice tests too hard? LOL!!! This class was straightforward.

He gets a bad rep just becasue the class he teaches isn't easy. He is very good about going out of his way to help and clear up questions. He has office hours practically every day. I think the reason so many people have a hard time is that they don't actually go to class (8am). If you go, it's not that bad.

Its chemisty. Its going to be difficult. Just go to lecture EVERYDAY. You can even ask questions in lecture, and he will stop everything and answer them and re explain them until you can understand it.

I failed this class the first time I took it - when I repeated it Ganley was the lab professor. He stayed after class with me for two hours every day, just to make sure I understood what was going on. Thanks to him, I passed with a B! Also had him for Chem. Capstone... He's one of my favorites.

Having had chem for two years before, this class was really easy. However, if I hadn't had chemistry before I don't think I would have understood much. Ganley means well and I'm sure he's helpful in his office hours, but his letures weren't as lear as they could have been. Make sure to always do the online practice tests before each exam.

THis is the best chemistry teacher ever! Why? Because he actually answer questions and he doesn't yell at you for not reading the book:)

I think he was a great teacher. Sure he was kind of boring at 8 a.m. but whatever. He went over exactly what was going to be on the test and what basic kinds of problems would be on there. If you go to class and pay attention, you should have no problem getting an A.

The class wasnt that difficult if you paid attention and went to lecture. Yes, it means waking up at 8am, but it helps. The tests were difficult, but he helps those who seek it; Professors only care if you care. He gives u an exact ex. of the 20pt problem and the 20 MC's do require work. Hard to finish in 50 min. spend time wisely. Ended with an A!

Dr. G is more than willing to help you with the material. I think that if you do your part by reading the text (before lecture), doing practice problems(before the week of the exam), and practice exams while asking questions then you should be fine. As he told me, just remember that this is pretty much the base course, and it only gets harder.

He's a nice guy and his lectures are easy to follow. His tests are very hard, in my opinion; but if you do the practice exams it shouldn't be too bad.

I DON'T KNOW WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT DR. GANLEY. IF YOU GO TO HIS LECTURES AND PARTICIPATE IN LAB, YOU SHOULD BE FINE ON THE EXAMS. I HAD ONE TODAY AND IT WAS ONE OF THE EASIEST EXAMS I HAVE EVER HAD, AND BELIEVE ME, CHEMISTRY IS NOT MY STRONG SUIT. HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING VERY WELL AND IS A NICE PERSON. EASY A OR B FOR THIS CLASS..

I had Dr. Ganley for 3 classes and found him to be extremely clear and helpful. While lectures can be dry at times, he only presents the most important information and his tests are fair (and much easier compared to other professors who teach the same course). Always available to help. Truly one of the nicest people I've ever met.

I had Ganley for Org 1 and 2. He is very accessible if you need help. His exams are hard but not impossible because he takes questions EXACTLY from lecture, which are all from material in the book. You do need to put some work into the class (it is organic chem), and if you do you will do just fine.

I had Ganley for Orgo 1 and 2 and thought he was fine. He posts all of his lectures on tegrity and so going to class is completely optional (no attendance points or anything). He also is a pretty funny guy (which you wouldn't expect) and throws random comical lines into his lectures that often go unnoticed but are very corney and hilarious.

Dr. Ganley is the man. I didn't even like science until he introduced me to chemistry and I fell in love! Thanks to Dr. Ganley's passion for science and his students, I am now a PhD Chemist at Cornell University! Thanks Dr. Ganley for everything!

So, I've heard Ganley is NOT the prof you want for General Chemistry, but I logged in just to defend his honor. He rocks at Organic Chem, and he loves it. And he made me love it too; I'm going to Grad School for it, after swearing I'd abhor chemistry forever. Ganley is awesome. And so is Organic Chem.

Yes, chemistry may be a hard subject but Ganley is a good teacher who is enthusiastic about student learning. Never had him for Gen Chem but Organic 1 and 2 have been just fine. I'm glad I got him instead of the other harder professor for Orgo 2!

I had Ganley for organic 1 and 2. Organic 2 is a really tough class, and requires a lot of studying. All lectures are on Tegrity, which is really helpful. Even though I received C's in both organic 1 and 2, I felt that Ganley was a pretty good teacher.

I knew nothing about Chem when I first went in to this class. But Ganelys class was fairly clear and straight forward, and focused his lectures on what was going to be on the test. Yes it required a fair amount of studying to get a good grade like any other class. As long as you use the printable slides for lectures and study, it isnt too hard.

I enjoyed taking this class. It did take a lot of work to get an A but he was helpful. Having all the lectures on tegrity was also very useful in studying since all the tests are just based off of lectures. Also he curves the class in the end.

Ganley was a great professor to take Organic with! His lectures reinforced the readings and his tests were VERY reasonable. The class takes some effort but an A is certainly attainable.

Don't Expect a huge curve.

Prof. Ganley isn't that bad of a professor. He makes organic as easy as it can be. Exams are multiple choice; 4 exams(1 dropped)+final+homework. The exams aren't that impossible. Just make sure you go to lecture, and understand the mechanisms (the foundation for understanding org.); don't forget gen. chem. stuff either. Understand the HW also.

Ganley is a good professor. The class is hard, but if you get a tutor and go to his office hours, then you should be fine. The test are a little tricky so be prepared to study the information that was given in class and read the book.

Easiest Chemistry class I've taken at Mizzou. Learn the material, and it's pretty easy to recognize concepts on the test. Going to miss him for Organic 2.

One of the most understanding and straightforward teachers I have ever taken. If he makes a mistake, he takes full responsibility for it. Great teacher! If you study, you'll be fine.

This class is not as hard as people make it out to be--but it is a challenge. It is better to overestimate rather than underestimate this class. =STUDY= and you will make it out alright. It is a time investment, but his tests are very fair. I occasionally emailed questions and he always responded clearly and thoroughly. Respectable professor

I enjoyed Dr. Ganley's class. He is the most fair teacher you will have. If you read the chapters and study the lectures you will do fine. He records every lecture on tegrity. Overall he is a very good professor.

Good professor, but his tests are BS. They're 25 question multiple choice, so missing only a couple questions puts you in the D+/C- range on exams. On top of that some of the questions are designed to trick you so pay close attention. If the tests weren't multiple choice I would've enjoyed this class a lot more and probably have done a lot better.

Dr. Ganley knows what he is doing, and will make the tests VERY rigorous. There is so much information to absorb. All lectures are online, which is extremely helpful. Attending class is key if you want a decent grade at all.

I highly recommend Ganley. He uses Tegrity which is awesome. His tests are fairly straight forward. He drops your lowest test score. The homework is pretty easy. I suggest reading the book in addition to watching the lectures. The book was extremely helpful. Overall, a good class. It is definitely possible to get an A.

Realize that this course is going to be rigorous no matter who teaches it. Dr. Ganley is about as fair as they come where grading is concerned and no his tests aren't impossible, but they are relatively tricky. My advice: study, study, and STUDY SOME MORE. Your grade will ultimately be a reflection of how much effort you put in... plain and simple.

For a regular Freshman level Chemistry lecture, the course is not that bad. It definitely could be worse. He is a decent speaker and if you happen to miss class, there are online lectures. Do all the online hw and quizzes and if you don't have an awesome t.a. I would definitely do some problems from the back of the book. Exams are not that bad.

Ganley is an awesome teacher! He is extremely fair, knowledgeable, and teaches a hard subject very well. He drops one test and makes the final optional! I had to miss an exam due to work and he let me take it in his office hours. He posts everything on online on tegrity. Study 8-10 hours for each test and you will definitely get an A!

He's a great teacher who knows what he's talking about. Class is on tegrity, so you don't have to go. The course material is not hard to learn, as long as you apply yourself, but the tests are crazy hard. There's a nice curve at the end, and the final is optional. I got C's on all the tests, but an A on the hw, and got a B in the class

He's extremely helpful if you email him, ask him questions in class, or go to office hours. I hear his class is easier than with other professors.

A very good professor, one of the best in the Chem department. Lectures are clear and organized, he really knows what he's talking about. Tests are very difficult, he does try to trick you. Study a lot and do tons of practice problems. Grade was saved when he announced the final was dropped!

Dr. Ganley is one of the best professors in the chemistry dept. His lectures are easy to follow as he is really good at explaining the material. He does a good amount of examples that help to see applications. Exams are tough, so study and get help if you need it. I would take another class with him.

The class covers some tough material but Ganley is a great teacher and as long as you stay on top of things and go to office hours when needed you should do well. You get to drop your lowest test and the final is optional. The fourth test is the hardest so nail the first three and you are set.

Ganley is a good teacher. I'm in his class right now and doing well. He does tegrity so you don't always need to go to class. The tests are hard if you don't study. But he provides practice exams and uses a lot of the same questions on the actual tests. If you do the work, this class is easy. He also drops the lower test score.

So glad I took Chem 1100 with Ganley. For every exam he let us bring in a regular size piece of notebook paper with notes and formulas, or whatever you wanted to put on it to help you for the exam. He drops the lowest exam score, curves the entire class, and the final is completely optional. Tests are pretty difficult but hey, it's chem.

He does a great job explaining concepts and ideas. Do not be afraid to raise your hand in class if you have any questions. Very fair with grades. Go to his office hours whenever possible and always ask for help when you need it because this class is very difficult and there is a lot of material covered. Organic Chemistry is a different language.

Dr. Ganley is a very fair professor. The homework is easy, but the tests are multiple choice and they are HARD! Make sure to go to the tutor sessions (they really help) Also sit in the front of class because he doesn't talk very loud. The final is optional and there is a fair curve at the end of the year. I would take another class with him.

Do the homework for a boost to your grade. READ THE BOOK AND DO ALL OF THE PROBLEMS. I only did a few for the first test and failed. For the other tests, I rewrote my notes, did all of the book work, went to tutoring, and always attended lectures. I got 90+ on all of them. Dropped test & optional final are great. He is a good lecturer and funny.

Ganley is a fabulous teacher. I had been warned by so many that the class was very challenging - I mean, come on! It's Organic Chemistry, that's to be expected. He is a brilliant man so prepare: the exams are tough. The homework is easy and the practice exams are NOT a reflection of what the exam is going to be like. He's so nice, go talk to him :)

It's Organic chem not a walk in the park. Go to class if you want to be an over achiever and get to know him. He does tegrity which is very helpful. Homework is due every week, use chegg if you can. I didn't use my book at all or the model kit. Tests are hard of course, can easily guess, curve is large for each exam, and Pete is very helpful!

I'm not a fan of chem and didn't do well with it in high school, but I got an A in this class. The tests are easy if you pay attention to the tegrities, labs and take advantage of the online resources that he offers. There are multiple recycled questions from his past exams that he puts up on Blackboard.

This is a weed-out course. That being said, it is still very possible to get an A in the course. Perform well in the labs, they will save your grade. Do the homework they will save your grade. Grade is curved at the end of the semester. Getting an A on every assignment and a C average on the exam depending on the curve can get you an A in the class

As someone intending to major in Chemistry take this with a grain of salt, but this class is really not bad. Do the recommended book problems and write down ones you don't get. Ask Ganley questions. Ask the TAs questions. They are there to help and Chemistry is actually pretty fun once you get it :)

Loved Ganley, he uses tegrity for every lecture (which is an online video of his complete lecture), so attendance is optional. I rarely attended and relied on the videos and it worked. Just complete your labs and watch every video (or attend every class) and you'll do just fine as long as you're fairly smart.

Gan-man is a classy and respectful dude. However, he is a bit cookie-cutter as his lectures don't deviate much from the book. Just go to lecture (or watch on tegrity if you're lazy) and/or read the book. Understanding the material will significantly reduce amount of memorization and make things easier on you.

Dr. Ganley is a great professor, he is extremely willing to help students and if you go to office hours it will save your semester. Organic Chemistry is a hard class so seek out additional help, that's what office hours are for. But overall as long as you're not lazy, go to lecture, and study on your own an A is easily attainable. Decent curve too.

Ganley channeled the textbook in his lectures, and since Klein is a great textbook, the lectures were clear and constructive. If you can count carbon atoms and embrace the "language" of chemistry (understand patterns of reactions) , the tests are a breeze. That said, he tests were annoyingly entirely multiple choice, so silly mistakes can get you.

Ganley taught well, but you will definitely have to put in the extra effort yourself if you want to succeed in this class. He used Tegrity, so it was easy to go back and watch them over again if studying for the test. The class is very clear cut, but required a lot of studying.

Chem isn't easy no matter the professor but does a good job of explaining things and lecture isn't awful. Tests are multiple choice and he tells you what you're going to need to know. Doing all your homework and studying the night before and you should be good.

Dr. Ganley is clear an concise in lecture and fair in his tests. So, if you go to lecture and actually listen their should not be a single concept you won't understand on the test; everything is there. Also, the practice and explanations needed for calculation problems are all in sapling. No searching for hours in the book and online.

While Dr. Ganley's lectures are not the most interesting, they are very important. You can print out his lecture slides and fill in the blanks. He test your knowledge over the notes, the book has more info than you need to know. If you study everything in the slides and then take the practice exams you'll do fine. Also do the book problems.

He is one of the best, if not the best, chem teachers here. Whenever I have a question, he's very non-judgmental and is willing to help. Unlike Perry, he doesn't automatically assume you have a good chem background and explains everything well. He's not just a great professor, but a great guy. He's great, chem still sucks though.

This guy really deserves a higher rating. Seriously, chemistry is such a hard subject and I feel like people hate the subject/do badly in it and blame it on him. Ganley is by far one of the best teachers I've had. He's always patient when explaining things and most importantly, doesn't assume you have a good chem background.

Ganley makes this class understandable, but not when it comes to exams. The exams, in my opinion, should be less on multiple choice and more on workout probs. Lots of studying, especially from the book, so get help from him if you can. He either curves grades or adjusts grading scales at the end, but I had to retake his class this fall.

Go to class and office hours. Hardly anyone does this and he definitely knows who goes. It is a hard class and tests are hard, but he will go out of his way to help you if you make your presence known.

I didn't have a good chem background, so I really liked Ganley. He spoke NOT ASSUMING you have a good chem background. He's really patient when you ask questions and really helped me out. He's great.

Overall pretty good teacher, he talked too fast and quiet at times. The multiple choice tests became increasingly difficult over the semester. Def do the problems in the book, the sapling ones, and his old exams (some questions were verbatim). The amount of work you put in, will reflect your grade in the class.

Great professor. Would recommend him over others. I know many kids in the other Chemistry classes that would actually come to Ganley's because he gives better lectures.

I like Ganley. Chem is hard, so people sometimes take it out on the professor. If you put in a little effort though, it's really not that hard to get a B, or even close to an A. He's smart and helpful, especially in a big lecture hall. Take the notes, do the homework. It's fine.

I understood the material by going to his lectures, though he does talk fast, so tegrity is helpful to go back. No EC even when only 20 other people there, so don't bother going before break. The third test is very difficult, but overall they're not bad. Don't buy the book. Practice problems and powerpoints are online and that's all I used it for.

One of the best professors I've had in my college career. What sets him apart from other professors in his department are his knowledge of the subject mattter, accessibility outside of class, and ability to field questions in lecture

Ganley was a great professor and made chemistry easy to understand. Grading is not complicated. Do the homework every week. You can miss two on the exam and still get 100%. If you're struggling, practice problems are a must. The ones at the end of each chapter are equal to the difficulty of the problems on the exam.

Ganley is one of the best profs I've had at MIZ. He has clear criteria on what should be on the exams as long as you pay attention in class. He is very willing to work with you outside of class and his office hours as long as you are putting in the effort. Huge plus: he's actually funny and nice. Listen in class and you'll get his subtle jokes. WIN

Ganley is a nice guy. A lot of the negative reviews come from the difficulty of the class. Orgo is hard but ganley is very clear about expectations. I do admit that the test format is less favorable (25 mc worth 4 points each), but it is manageable. My advice is to read the book and do practice problems, you can't learn successfully otherwise.

A lot of people don't like Ganley, but I always have. Never went to class, just watched all of the tegrities. Everything he tests over is on tegrity. Never opened the book.

Don't know what most people are talking about. This guy is great! He makes chemistry very straightforward, and much more palatable. I would certainly take Dr. Ganley again. His grading is very fair.

Ganley is good. His lectures make me tired. Warning, though, do not study the lecture notes for the test. Focus on the textbook. Work through the problems at the end of the chapters. Do ALEKS before the day its due.

I personally thought Dr. Ganley was a great professor. He made chem 1 relatively easy to comprehend. You could miss two questions on the test and still get 100%, which was nice. I just used the powerpoints to study and did well. I would definitely recommend him over other professors for gen. chem 1.

Dr. Ganley was positively outstanding. Chem 1320 is a huge lecture but Ganley was able to make it personal. Chemistry is hard and amount of content he has to cover is borderline excessive, however, that's not his fault because it is just a overview of a large topic.

Dr. Ganley knows what he's talking about, is very knowledgable. Grades were based on 5 exams (can drop 1). You need to read book and do problems at end of chapter. No points given to homework which is where I disagree with him. All other classes receive hw credit except summer class. Overall, you'll do well if you put in work (cliche but relevant).

Orgo is a hard class by nature, but Ganley makes his expectations very clear, and his exams don't have any surprises on them. He does move very quickly through lecture material, but they are all posted on Tegrity, and as long as you take notes, do the homeworks, and ask for help when you need it, his class is challenging but very doable.

He posts all his lectures online which is really great if you have an 8 am class. The homework assignments barely have anything to do with lecture but are easy. Offers extra credit and drops lowest test grade.

Ganley is easily my favorite professor Ive ever had. He uses tegrity and you can drop one exam and 6 homeworks. Go to office hours for any help, he doesnt make you feel dumb for asking questions. His exams are very fair In regards to what he covers in lectures, but reviewing homework problems helps a lot too

Ganley was a great Orgo 1 professor, tests and material mirror the book (no having to hunt in Tegrity for discrepancies), and depending on how comfortable you are with the material you don't necessarily have to go class. Very approachable and my peers were able to contact and receive help from him and the TA on a frequent basis. Good stuff.

You don't need to show up to this class as long as you go back and take notes off his online lecture later. Ganley is a slow talker and boring but if you speed up the lecture you can get through it. He is a forgiving professor and always there if you need help. The TAs are also a more accessible option for help and a great study tool.

Ganley is honestly wonderful. I was a terrible Organic Chemistry II student, but he REALLY tried to help me understand. He worked with me every day of office hours and gave constructive feedback. His tests were difficult, but they weren't outside of expectations.

Great Chemistry teacher. Super organized, gets grading done quickly, always at office hours, answers emails promptly. Organic Chemistry is a tough class, but Dr Ganley teaches it well. He also makes himself available for extra help - there is usually a group in his office working problems during office hours. Good guy all around and very fair.

Lectures are key for his classes, am taking him again for orgo 2, and is a great professor. His teaching is at a good pace, gives fair exams, and keeps things interesting. Print out the notes and write on them.

If you need Organic chemistry TAKE IT WITH THIS MAN! Its a hard class no matter what, but he is largely available whenever and will help you work through problems and hint at what is on the exam. Study well before each test, I'm talking at least 10 days. Tests are multiple choice, he takes best 20 out of the 22 questions on all exams.

Organic is tough, but Dr Ganley makes it very doable. Go to lecture, or at least watch the videos to get tips on problems, and tips that will help you on exams. Exams are multiple choice but don't expect to cram and do ok. Go to TA exam reviews - very worth the time/effort). Super available for extra help - daily office hour. Solid guy.

Exams are easy if you study. Don't limit yourself to lectures. Reading the book is what got me my grade. My study advice is to start 4-5 days before exam. Look at notes, then read book chapters and do problems at end of each chapter. Homework is a non-issue. Can drop 1 exam. Reaction charts at end of each chapter are major key. Go to office hours.

His tests are super tough but can be prepared for by going over his lectures repeatedly and doing many practice problems. If you go to office hours you'll realize he is a great guy who loves what he does after he gets to know you. My best suggestion would be to rewrite the notes after each lecture to make sure it is understood & go to office hours

Had a really great time learning organic chemistry 2 from Dr. Ganley. His lectures are very clear and he records all of them so you can go back later and review material.

He posts lectures online so attendance isn't mandatory, but it can help if you have extra questions. He has a question box in the back of the classroom to drop questions in in case you don't want to ask in front of the class. If you do the online homework assignments and study, it's fine. He posts sample tests that very similar to the actual exam.

Simply put--Dr. Ganley is an amazing professor. He is incredibly clear about what subject material will be on the exam. Additionally, he wants you to succeed. Go see him in office hours!! He will always help you until you fully understand the material!! Do not be intimidated by what you've heard!

Records all lectures and no in-class assignments so you do not need to go to class. Make sure you watch his videos if you do not. Tests mainly over notes. Drops lowest test, 10 extra credit points on tests and can use cheat sheet. Must do well in lab and ALEKS, TAs will help a lot, go to office hours. Good and nice professor. Usually curves class.

Highly recommend taking Chem1320 with Ganley! His lectures can be rather boring, but everything is clear and understandable. Additionally - he is always ready to help outside of class and after lecture. Lectures are also posted via Panopto. ALEKs is a pain in the butt but Ganleys ALEKs deadlines are pretty fair.

He was a great Professor because his exams were always fair and his lectures were good! You don't have to go to class because all the lectures are recorded. The only thing I hated was the ALEKS it took way to much time.

Ganley understands his students and wants everyone to do well; I would encourage anyone taking chemistry to choose Ganley because he is very knowledgeable, and he makes the class at least a little more interesting.

Dr. Ganley was a great Chemistry professor and really helpful. He makes sure you really know the material and are prepared for exams. If you show up and do all the work you should pass no problem.

He can be tough, but he wants you to succeed. If you put in the work it's not hard to do well.

Dr. Ganley understands that most of us are just taking the class as a required Gen-Ed. In lectures, he clearly outlines and explains the content In an in-depth way that is still easy to understand, even for those of us who aren't exactly Chem-oriented. Only downside was the homework as the assignment program he uses, ALEKS, can be hefty at times.

Second time taking this class and I highly recommend him. He breaks the topics down making it easier to understand the concepts and also helps ALOT in office hours if need further help understanding. Clear grading criteria and HIGHLY RECOMMEND him over other professors at Mizzou for this class!

Prof Ganley was a fair grader although many were upset with his stance on no partial credit. In his class we used a software called ALEKS in order to do homework and exams. The exams were incredibly difficult but could be prepared for through ALEKS practice questions. He's not unfair but he will make you work for your grade.

Ganley is always super understanding with grades and his exams are not too hard! Just pay attention in class.

Dr. Ganley is the best Chemistry teacher I had at mizzou. Organic chemistry will be hard regardless of the teacher, but Dr. Ganley presents the material in a way that makes it more digestible than average. Some test questions are about hyper specific topics covered so make sure to take note of those examples, and if nothing else, read the book

He is amazing! I took his General Chem 1 course as well as Survey of Organic Chem. Organic was all online due to Covid, and he made himself extremely available with tons of office hours for outside help. He wants you to succeed! Organic chemistry is a very difficult class, but he helps you out a lot. Best professor I have had so far!

Chem is going to be hard no matter what, but take it with Ganley if you can! He posted all of the lectures online, so I didn't have to go to class. The ALEKS homework questions were quite tedious, but YouTube tutorials help you understand if you're having trouble.

If you pay attention to lecture and stay caught up with Aleks homework, you will do just fine. Ganley is definitely a good choice for this class, he is decently thorough in lecture and Aleks topic review lectures. The tests are also through Aleks which is somewhat nice because you know exactly what to expect.

Ganley is a good professor. Orgo itself is hard to learn, let alone teach. I took it during covid & the zooms during the class time were not mandatory. Only complaint is that we had to watch lectures on our own then do practice problems in class which made it feel like 6 credit hours instead of 3 because you used time outside of class to do notes.

I took Dr. Ganley for my 1320 class fall of freshman year. The course itself is not hard, you just have to put the work and effort in. I recommend asking questions and watching informational videos if lectures and professors dont answer your question. Overall he is a nice and understanding professor. If you work hard, you should have no issue.

cares about students & wants to help, posts lectures then does practice problems on zoom & answers questions (no attendance pts), homework can be frustrating but get 30 tries, 5 multiple choice exams are hard but doable if study a lot & understand reactions & can drop 1 except last, organic chem is hard but he makes it possible to do well

Organic Chem isn't an easy class, but Ganley makes it bearable. Take as many of your chem courses with him as possible.

Ganleys the goat. I hated Chem 1 and 2 but Ganley single-handedly taught me how to work hard and get a good grade that I deserved. I took him for Orgo 1 and 2 and he is the reason I no longer despise chemistry.

I had Ganley for both organic chemistry 1 and 2. He has recorded lectures then the scheduled lectures are example problems about the lectures. This class is exam heavy, he will likely curve if the average is low. We also got to drop an exam. He really cares that people pass and wants people to ask questions. Promptly helps students that need help.

He is a good teacher with a lot of knowledge in the subject, occasionally the lectures can be a lot (never more than 35 mins tho) but his office hours completely make up for it. He is available more than any other teacher Ive ever had and he treats no question like a dumb question, will work on same concept 100 times with you until you get it.

He is a very nice and understanding profesor, he genuinely wants to see you do good and is very understanding about grade rounding. Really respect him and he tries to make class fun

Took his class for Chem2 and taking it for OChem1 in Spring. Lectures are prerecorded and class time used for going over how to do homework problems. Exams use questions from homework. Allows formula sheet for exams. 4 exams, drops lowest. Lab is easy if you have a good TA. Nate was a very good TA. VERY helpful. 300 enrolled, 35 students in LEC.

Dr. Ganley is one of the best professors I've had so far. Many people dread taking organic chemistry, but Dr. Ganley made the course actually fun and enjoyable, as well as the great TA we had at the time. He is always available outside of class and gives good help in office hours, should you decide to go.

Professor Ganley is great, the online lecture format and optional, without penalty, attendance is great for night owls or people who simply aren't ready to be up at 8 am. Prepare to study in this class or just be completely lost, there is a lot to learn.

After taking 4 semesters of chemistry at Mizzou, Ganley was 100% the best professor I have had. The issue with other chemistry professors is that they only care about their research and do not care about the success of their students. Ganley is a teaching professor and he cares about his students. He actually explains concepts clearly.

Professor Ganley is one of the best teachers I have ever had. I took organic chemistry from him. He is clear with his learning objectives, helpful with homework and understanding concepts. If you just listen to his lectures, do the homework, and do all the problems in the book for practice you are sure to have a passing grade. Very talented teacher

I wish all my professors were Ganley. Live Love Ganley

The classes are not mandatory and he only does iClicker in class. You need to watch his lecture videos outside of class which is great if you have a lot of free time and like to teach yourself all the material, but if you're like me and you need someone to actually teach it to you while you can ask questions, this class is gonna be hard. No curves.

This class used a flipped classroom where majority of the learning was done through a program called Aleks and pre-recorded lectures. Class time was used to do practice problems. The lectures are only helpful for getting a better grasp at the concept but the tests come directly from Aleks. Your lowest test score is dropped(final included).

Lectures are online and the in person portion of class was just I clicker review questions not for attendance points. A decent amount of online work but it did not take much time and was easily accessible. Tests were fairly easy only 20 multiple choice questions.

Ganley is a clear and helpful professor; I recommend watching his recorded lectures, tgeb go to class for optional IClicker practice, put your best effort in labs, and complete/study the Aleks online homework problems and you will be successful. I would recommend to stay on top of your own learning though and ask questions when they come up!

i loved ganley!! his lectures are flipped, so i only ever went to class if i needed help with a concept from the chapter we were on. aleks takes time but is user friendly. tests are aleks questions and are 20 mc questions. overall not too hard, just study the aleks for the tests, show up to your lab and participate, and finish the aleks on time.

This man is amazing. As long as you watch the lecture videos and do your Aleks, you will be golden. The tests are super easy if you do these two things. Attendance isn't required, but I went as much as I could and it helped a ton. (Also I may be biased as a Chem major)

Ganley is the GOAT. If you are wondering if it's worth it to wait for a semester where you can get Ganley instead of Keller, the answer is YES. Please do yourself a favor: if you can take any class with Ganley instead of Keller, do it. Ganley's exams are as advertised. He does not try to trick you. If you study and do your work, you will get an A.

Dr. Ganley's class is very fairly graded, he is honest when saying that the tests are the exact set up as the homework, so just know as long as you grind out a lot of studying on ALEKS you will likely be do fine on the tests. My biggest advice is that as long as you do well on your homework and labs you will be fine.

Posted all of his lectures online, and class was just review of homework problems. Very easy to watch the lecture, do the homework, and get feedback quickly.

The in-person lectures are purely practice problems that correlate to the online lecture released the day before (ie. a flipped format), which I personally greatly appreciated. Also, in-person lectures aren't mandatory which was always nice in case I was sick or was running behind in the morning. He is knowledgeable and adds humor in lectures too!

As long as you do the ALEKS problems, you're set! The exams are all exactly like ALEKS

Only homework you get assigned is ALEKS which should be an easy 100 but there is just a lot of questions. Tests were mostly just questions from ALEKS so make sure you do that. Attendance isn't mandatory and you just do iclikcer the whole time which isn't for points but it really helps you understand material.

Dr. Ganley is a very good professor. Lectures are optional and he uses class time to go over the homework assignments. The lecture component of the class is online so you watch those on your own time. As long as you keep up with your homework assignments (ALEKS) you'll do fine in this class.

Ganley is an amazing professor. He uses ALEKS as a base for homework and tests, and I personally learned really well by using it. His grading criteria is clear and he gives you all the resources to succeed.

I know a lot of people don't like how Ganley does a flipped classroom but I find it awesome. He uses a software called Aleks which you have to spend kinda a lot of time on but he pulls questions from it for the exam. If you take your time and understand all the aleks problems this class is a breeze.

His class is flipped with it mostly being lectures online, and in person working through homework problems. ALEKS throughout the semester with 4 tests, and labs weekly.

The class is still hard if you struggle with exams. Do all of your ALEKS because those are easy points and get a good TA. He was a funny dude and I would rather take him than other chem professors but it is still hard.

If you took chem in high school (even regular, not ap) and were decent at chem, you should breeze through this class. He is super helpful and the hw is infinite tries. (I had him in the fall). The exams are majority pulled hw questions and are so easy.

I love professor Ganley, he's funny and knows how to teach. Lectures are online, and in-person class is going over ALEKS problems that help with homework and exams. Exams are entirely based on ALEKS problems, so make sure to do those. Didn't use the textbook at all. Labs were a little hard and didn't make much sense half the time.

I loved Dr. Ganley! He knows his subject well and was super good at explaining things! I do wish lectures were not in the flipped style, but having him do homework problems in class made his exams even easier than they already were (based solely on homework problems, and you can have a cheat sheet). Take him for Chem 1320!

Great professor, answers questions and lectures are optional. You basically use one website and if you keep practicing then the exams are easy. Main information is given via pre-recorded lectures. Overall loved the class.

ganley made orgo 1 so much easier than I expected it to be. he uses a flipped classroom, so make sure you watch the lectures before class to understand the in-class practice. grading is made up of tests (you drop your lowest score) and your online homework assignments (pretty easy if you know the material, and you have a long time to do them).

I had Dr. Ganley for Chem 1320,1330, and now 2100 and I loved him for all three! He is definitely better for Chem 1 and 2 but still really good for Orgo. All his exams are based off the homework so you can just study that for the exams. He does a flipped classroom so if you don't like that don't take his class

I took Ganley for 1320 and 2100 and I would take him again. I love this teaching style and he is so approachable and always willing to help.

Dr. Ganley is an amazing professor. He has always had a strict outline of grading. He cares about teaching and helping you understand the principles of chemistry. He will really break things down for you if you go to his office hours. Please remember!! If you are terrible at taking quizzes, this class is not for you. Majority of the grade are tests

Tests are hard and require you to study lots before the exam, but with lots and lots of nonstop practice questions, you will be fine. Do not listen to the other reviews the class is hard because it is organic chemistry but doable if you put in the work. This class is test heavy but again do the work and homework and understand it!!!!!

I had Dr. Ganley for Chem 1 and he has not changed. I hated his online lectures. he has a flipped classroom in which you do problems in class. make sure you do well on the first few exams, they only get harder. he really cares about chemistry but wants his students to understand the material. Overall I wish I could've had a different professor.

The reviews do not do justice for the teacher. Ganley teaches one of the hardest classes at Mizzou, it will not be easy. Comparing him to the other chemistry professors, he is one of the best. He even gives built-in extra credit for the exams. He is very approachable and thoroughly explains topics. He makes one of the hardest classes doable.

Chemistry is hard, but Dr. Ganley made it as easy to understand as possible. He does flipped classroom so you watch the lectures outside class. I went to office hours for a few hours a week and it showed via my test scores. He also quickly responded to any email I would send asking for help or clarification on content. 10/10 reccomend

Professor Ganley's CHEM1320 class is well-structured. The flipped format takes some getting used to, but the ALEKS practice problems and unstuckstudy ai make studying a breeze. Exams are fair - just stay on top of the material.

Attendance wasn't mandatory. Flipped classroom. Lectures were online, and he solved problems during lectures. ALEKS was weekly assignments but helped me understand the material better for the exams. Can drop one exam.

He's chill

class structure is easy. Tests pulled from homework, which he goes over in the lectures. allowed an 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper both sides, of notes. do the homework and prepare a good cheat sheet, periodic table is given on tests. semester grade is based on homework completion by due dates and your 3 best test grades(out of 4 tests including final)

He posts lectures ahead of class and just practices problems in class, but attendance is not mandatory. It is a homework heavy course and drops your lowest test grade.

This class is a flipped classroom, so the lectures are online and you go over questions in class. If you understand the lectures, I would not recommend going to class. Professor uses iClicker, and the questions are posted but if you don't go to class, you may not know the answers. The labs can be a bit tedious, but a good class.

There was a textbook for this class, but we didn't have to use it. Homework is worth 40% of your grade, and tests/final is worth the other 60%. We take three tests and one final, but he will drop the lowest one. He posts lectures online and then does only practice problems in class, so attendance is not mandatory. The videos are long but helpful.

Ganley is a super quick grader and you will have your exam grade by that same night. there is a lot of content but if you keep up it really isn't that bad. class and online lectures are opptional. search up roxi on youtube for each aleks problem and you are good. work hard bc ur final can be dropped and you dont have to show

Would recommend! All grades are done through ALEKS and 4 exams. ALEKS is easy to navigate, and you can find example problems easily. You get a cheat sheet on the exams, and your lowest exam score is dropped. Lectures are not required, but by going you can see some good examples! Study hard and you will succeed!

make sure you complete all the ALEKS and study for the test, you get a cheat sheet every exam and one test is dropped.

Homework can definitely be stressful, but Ganley will work with you and reply to questions!

Really great professor. Attendance was optional, most of the learning was done through videos. He gives you a full page cheat sheet for each exam, all multiple choice exams, and lowest exam grade is dropped. 100 points for exams (3 counted) and 200 points for homework, which is easy to score well on, just takes a while to complete.

The class is a flipped classroom, so all that happens during the lectures is that he goes over practice problems with iClicker. You learn the material through the videos, but it is also pretty easy to learn through Aleks just by doing the homework. If you took a chemistry class in high school, and did well you will be pretty well off.

Dr. Ganley is a great professor. The class is not overly challenging, as you are able to drop one exam. Exams questions are taken directly from the homework, and you get a cheat sheet. Great class, great professor. If you can, try to take chemistry with Ganley.

His lectures are not necessary to attend if you understand what you are learning. You are expected to watch his videos outside of class and learn the material that way. His lectures only go over questions from the homework. He lets you have one dropped exam which can be the final. His exam questions are pulled directly from the homework as well.

Dr. Ganley was an amazing professor and I definitely recommend him to anyone who needs to take Chem 1400 (in the fall) or Chem 1410 (in the spring). Attendance isn't required, since he just reviews over the homework and does practice problems for everyone. This course is based on mainly two things : exams + homework. He also drops your lowest exam!

Very good professor. Lectures aren't mandatory, but he goes over all the homework topics and possible homework/exam questions, so it is super helpful to go to class. All exam questions are things you go over during class, are on the homeworks, and you get a formula sheet. Overall great professor.

I've had him in two different chem classes. His teaching style really works for me personally and I really enjoy his classes. I'm not really a visual or audio learner, I tend to learn by doing and he gives plenty of opportunity for that without having to stress about doing poorly and affecting your grade.

The class is a flipped class. All he does during the class time is go over practice problems. If you took chemistry in high school and did well, you'll have an easy time.

Ganley is the best chemistry professor you can have!

Clear grading criteria

Love the structure

Ganley is very very clear with his expectations. You have 4 tests (1 dropped no matter what). Points for completing the online homework on time, and then points for completing "Pie" by the end of the semester. Pie is basically like review and mastery of the homework questions. Overall not too bad.

He uses a flipped classroom style, attendance for lecture is not required and he only goes over practice problems. The homework is vigorous, make sure you pay attention to the deadlines. Ganley himself is nice and good at explaining things, it is only the way the class is structured that is difficult.

Can't ask for much more in a chemistry professor/class. I just took both 1400 and then 1410 w/ Ganley, and without a doubt the best case scenario for a chem professor at Mizzou. Grades are just homework and tests, the tests are literally just homework problems. If you put effort into this class and study homework consistently, an A is very doable.

You don't have to go to class. Roxi Hulet on YT is your best friend; she explains every Aleks hw problem. One test gets dropped. DO YOUR ALEKS HW!!! It's worth a huge part of your grade. Ganley is a chill guy and will answer questions if needed. I never went to lecture and I was just fine in his class

Lectures were not mandatory but offered great practice problems. Exams are easy if you fully UNDERSTAND the material. This means truly understanding the mechanisms behind the chemical reactions. It isn't an easy class, but he gives you all the tools, you just have to learn to use them.

Ganley's class is extremely easy to manage. Tests are decently spread out and there is a lot of time to prepare. Attendance is not mandatory, but extremely helpful if you are struggling. Had him for both Gen Chem 1 and 2. If you have the option to have him as a professor please take it!

I love Dr. Ganley. I really enjoy his chem lectures, and he responds to emails quick I didn't ever go to class, because it's optional, but the flipped classroom model gives you all of the information you need. If you do the homework, you will get an A, easily. Test questions are the same as homework questions (just different #s).

Ganley's course is SO manageable. People complain because they expect to get by w/o studying. He goes over HW in class, and also opens up the room for questions if needed on each topic. The exams are the homework questions, so if you practice those, you should be fine! However, labs are so awful because of the TA's with sticks up their behind...

This class is easy and the people who complain are lazy. All lectures are recorded and attendance is not required, however you get 15 bonus points for attending 60% of lectures (lectures are just going over homework). Super easy if you have prior chem knowledge, but also if you don't just watch the lectures and do the homework and you'll be good.

Use Roxy on YouTube. She explains everything on Aleks. Tests are Aleks problems

This class was probably one of the easiest classes that I will take in college. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you get bonus points for showing up. Lectures are online and in class Dr. Ganley does homework problems. If you have any prior chem knowledge, you will not need to watch the lectures. Also, you get to drop 1 exam. Very manageable class.

He records lectures and posts them on canvas, then just goes over practice problems in class. Your lowest test score is dropped, you get a full page cheat sheet on the tests, and you get unlimited attempts on the homework so really the hardest part of the class is just remembering to watch the videos.

He's really smart, but if you ask him questions deeper than the content goes even outside of class he doesnt super like to answer them which kinda sucks. there are only 6 things in canvas, and if you attend 60% < of lectures you get 15 points of ec.

If you have previous chemistry knowledge and can learn things on your own, he's easy and his tests are pretty easy. If you don't know anything about chemistry and need a lot of support from a professor, don't take him. But you do get bonus points for showing up to the lectures 60% of the time and he is good about answering questions in class.

Great professor, but don't go into tests without at least a couple of hours of prep, lock in for the first 3 exams so you can fade the final if you're happy with your grade
