His class is a joke and I wouldn't advise anyone to take it. The material seems suited for eight graders. I learned basically nothing in his class. The only way you'll lose points is from sig figs, which he takes full points off for all the time. Even so, he gives away so much extra credit that everyone should still get a high A.

Professor Campbell is really friendly and funny. I understand how some people could be upset or annoyed because he tends to ramble and share stories, but I enjoyed those moments. His lectures are disorganized, and he doesn't really go off the book; you have to do the homework and read BEFORE you go to his classes.

So many papers

Worst professor I've ever had. No effort behind emails if he even responded. Condescending demeanor when asked for simple clarifications. Expect copious typos in his content. Incorrect answers or photos wouldn't load on exams. Syllabus had false grade thresholds, misguiding me to a B. Canvas points don't match syllabus points. Don't recommend.

He's very passionate about chemistry and sometimes overcomplicates his lectures but will answer any questions you have until you get it. Only labs are required for attendance but if you want to get a good grade attend the lectures. He gives you every chance to earn a passing grade. Labs are self guided but he will walk you through it if you need
