Very monotone, but knows his material.

Great Person

great notes, great tests, great prof!

Good prof, has good notes, and does lots of examples. Somewhat monotone....

Great Prof and so nice. Excellent notes! Fun classes. Does experiments in class.

Better than most Chem profs. However, he is a bit monotone.

Great Prof, makes everything clear, recommend veryhighly taking again next term!

Excellent prof and very helpful.

Had him for 1050/51, best prof EVER! Recommend him to all. Tough tests though

Best chem prof ever! Very helpful and easy to approach! Strongly recommended!!

This prof rocks! Kinda looks like Austin Powers in a dry sort of way...Interesting lectures and very helpful with any difficulties. Tests were a challenge, but fair.

Best Chem Prof!! Excellent notes and the problem sets he gives help you along in the course so much!!!! Tests are hard but it just makes you work more!! Great Prof highly recommended!!!

A great prof. Always helpful. Positive about your future grade prospects in his course evn when you do poorly on a test. Truly interested in helping you do your best. A fantastic prof!

Man, this guy knows what he's at. Not only does he provide wicked notes and great tuturials to help you learn, but he makes things interesting by doing in-class experiments. He's EXCELLENT! tests are somewhat tough, but c'mon it's chemistry.

If you're willing to put in an effort you cant go wrong with Flinn. Sometimes you might have trouble understanding WTF hes talking about or writing, but his notes are good and he covers all the bases. He's always around to explain things after class.

good man

Can you say monotone??? this guy will bore the tears off you if you manage to stay awake that is....but i will give him credit for the tutorials because they were out of this world.. also he is a lefty so the notes are hard to decipher...

Dr. Flinn is an excellent first year prof. He makes you feel right at ease, and genuinely cares about all of his students.

Dr. Flinn has changed my opinion about Chemistry. I always had a negative attitude towards the subject. He makes chemistry a joy to learn. A caring person and a great teacher!!

Dr. Flynn is a horrible teacher. His classes are very boring.. making you want to fall asleep. IT feels liek he is talking to the board. ALthough his tutorials are very useful and when he does answer your questions he gives useful answers.

Awesome teacher, very clear and really knows what he's talking about. I would definitley recommend him

great prof, except for a little monotone... knows his stuff

Had him last winter for Chem 1051. A good prof, genuinely cares about his students, and is really helpful. Can be boring sometimes, but his notes are good, and it's not a very difficult course anyway.

Good prof....gives good examples and answers ur ?'s

Excellent

Very good examples, teaches everything necessary for tests. You should read through the text because there is some stuff he doesn't have time to teach, but overall really good prof. A bit boring but he teaches everything.

Flinn is very clear during lectures. His problem sheets are all you need to be able to do to succeed in this course.

A good prof, gives good notes, teaches what you need to know, and doesn't waste your time.

had him for 2 terms and he was **** aswome if you don't agree, your an idot who doesn't understand anything about chemistry!!!

He gives great notes, and his work sheets are great, he also is always willing to help and is really nice about it. THe only problem is he is quite boring to listen to, so if you're strictly an auditory learner, he may not be the best for you, but other than that he's good. but he doesnt put his notes online...

He was extremly helpful, and even though i didn't do that well in this course he was an excellent instructor and was always willing to help.

An excellent prof, gives fair tests but you MUST study hard for them. He is always willing to answer questions; however, always make sure you have at least a 2 hour break if you decide to speak to him after class. Somehow everything relates back to organic chemistry, hmm. If you are a first year chem student, do anything to get in his class!!!

awesome, great notes. tests come from the problem sets! study them!

Dr. Flinn is a good prof, and really cares about how students fare in his class. Unfortunately, this course just plain blows. Problem sets are time consuming and difficult, every class is 3 pages (front and back) of notes leaving no time to listen or absorb information, and the text book is very unclear. The only good part of this class is the lab.

Overall, an excellent prof. Clear and easy to understand and notes are great! Textbook is useless: don't bother to buy it. Just teach yourself from the notes and the problem sets. Tests are challenging but if you put in the work and go see him for help you can do well. The final was really good as well. Truly cares about his students.

Overall a really good prof. Classes consist purely of notes, so it's not a good idea to miss any. He's a little boring to listen to, but not too bad. If you need extra help he is super nice and more than willing to give you an hour or two. Also a VERY fair marker, very generous with part marks.

He was an amazing prof! Really cared about his students and wanted them to do well. He is very smart and if you go to see him he will help you out a lot. He gives awesome notes and is by far the best chem 1050 prof out of the bunch! I would highly recommend him. His tests are fair, and he writes the final so his classes do much better

Fantastic professor. Ready and willing to give extra help outside of class. Also had him for Chem 2300. Hard courses but he teaches it well (despite being a little dull but he knows his material).

Very boring class. Really hard to learn in class because you're always trying to write down something on top of the page while he's teaching something on the bottom of page.This is because he's left handed and covers up all the notes! Test are ridiculously hard, most people bomb them. Pretty nice fella to talk to. Always willing to help.

put it dis way, if u're in dr.Flinn's class, u'd definitely pass ur final exam. he's tests are d most difficult and will make u study hard for d finals which made me excel in d course. never misses a beat, goes thru all d chapters comprehensively. his students definitely have an advantage over other students doin d same course.

He is a pretty good prof, he gives really good notes and seems very willing to help anyone. He grades really harsh and his tests are much harder then other profs' but in the end that prepares you more for the final so it's good thing.I found this course really hard (which is why my rating is so bad)but I wouldn't do it with any other prof.

One thing needs to be said: You will ace the final exam. He makes his tests throughout the semester very, very challenging. When you go into the final, you'll find the same questions were given on the tests and you'll whiz through it. His classes aren't too bad, but they're fairly dry. An approachable man who enjoys what he teaches.

Dr. Flinn has very challenging exams but they are also fair!! Everything is covered in class so be sure to go (he is rather dull though and admits it). He is very willing to help, just go to his office. Sometimes his explanations are hard to grasps, but I think this is because he's so smart and struggles t 'dumb it down.' Great prof overall!

Dr. Flinn has to be one of the best profs I've ever had at MUN! The man is kind, cares for student progress and will do anything for you! His tests are fair and they do prepare you for the final! He's almost always available for questions and he's fun to talk to in his office!

Chris Flinn was by far the best prof I have ever had. He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to understand and do well. Although it's a hard course, he makes it easy to understand and enjoyable. His gap notes helped me to stay focused during class and contained all the information and examples to do well on the exams.

He is really helpful if you have any questions. he is always in his office if you need help

Lectures are pretty dry, notes are great. He can be a little narcissistic, but ultimately knows his stuff and will answer your questions. He will take of marks for the slightest errors, so work diligently.

I thought Dr. Flinn gave fantastic notes. Very clear explanations of course material. I found class to be a complete waste of time. He copied out the notes, which were all posted online anyways and he covered them with his hand most of the time, so you couldn't copy them down, even if you wanted to. He read off the notes monotonously. Very boring

Great prof! Really wants his students to do well and is willing to help when things aren't clear. The assignments are tough and long however they really prepare you for the tests and final exam. Lecture slides are always posted online so class can be a bit tedious and note taking isn't really necessary. The course is very math heavy!

Dr. Flinn is an incredibly nice man and a very good teacher, but his lectures are boring. He uses very easy-to-study notes and the tests have no big surprises, plus bonus questions. Very understanding and helpful one-on-one! If you learn better the old fashioned way, take his class!

flinn is very dry and his lectures and notes leave much to be desired however if you go talk to him he genuinely care about all his students and is always willing to go out of his way. that being said, you will basically live in the help center for his class. very tough tests, very tough grader, very easy to fall asleep in class.

I failed the course my first time doing it, so I made sure to spend a lot of time in Dr. Flinn's office this past semester. His lectures are fairly dry, but the gap notes give all of the material that you need to know. Gave very fair exams. He is a super sweet man that loves chemistry, don't be afraid to go see him if you need help!

Dr. Flinn is a very nice man who genuinely wants his students to succeed. Has very good notes, and very fair tests with a lot of bonus marks everywhere. Assignments are a lot of work, but more than prepare you for tests. The only bad thing is he can be a little boring in class. Textbook is very unnecessary.

Lectures can be dry but he does his best to keep people engaged. A kind man who wants to help you. Good assessments.

The class is dry and certainly not the easiest thing I've taken. Dr. Flinn is very nice and cares about his students but I didn't find his lectures interesting. The notes weren't the easiest to study. The Lab reports were tricky, but I found his tests easy, and the assignments weren't bad, especially because he has a bonus one.

Dry lectures but if you follow along you'll be okay. Seems very approachable, and is a nice man. But if you struggle in boring lectures/getting distracted it might be better to go with someone else.

Flinn is an excellent prof and very kind. He explains the material well in class. If you do not understand, you are welcome to pop by his office outside of class. His tests are challenging/long but he gives many hints as to what will be on it. He also has notes, previous tests and worksheets posted that are very similar to test questions. Cheers!
