He is a good teacher, a very nice person. The class is hard because of the material.

He is an amazing professor, I hated chem in high school and made A's on all of his tests. You need to attend class to do well but the lectures follow his given notes. If you go to class, and study some you are golden. He is also very willing to stay after class and go over anything that wasn't entirely understood during lecture.

I took chem 1203 and 1204 with Dr. Jones and loved them both. He is very helpful and his tests are very straight forward. He is very willing to answer any questions you have and will take extra time after class to explain anything you need. His lectures aren't the most exciting, but he is a very helpful and sweet professor! Tests are from his notes

No homework, quizzes, or projects... Just 4 tests! It's a really easy A if you show up for lectures and study the material covered in class. He gives you tentative study guides for each test explaining EXACTLY what you need to know. A book is required for the class but you won't ever use it. Funny at times but very monotone.

Professor Jones was a really good professor.
