Nice guy. He's a total geek but you find yourself liking him. He teaches painfully slow, to the point where you want to say 'OKAY! WE GET IT!'... Easy exams, no assignments, nice guy outside of class. I recommend him - unless I'm competing with you for a spot in his class! :)

Dr. Love really seems like he wants us to learn and doesn't trick you on tests...he's straightforward and lets you know what he expects.

really tries hard to explain everything, but he is painfully slow, so it is sometimes hard to follow. otherwise his tests are very straight forward, and he is always willing to help

he is the nicest teacher. he really wants you to learn.

Very nice teacher. He makes very subtle jokes. Reminds me of the scientist Will Ferrel played on SNL. He definately wants all his students to learn. Great class.

Awesome professor. He bores you to tears occaisionally, but it's cool that he really wants his students to succeed. Why can't the rest of the chemistry profs be like him??? I loved Dr. Love.

He is a cool guy

I could actually understand the words coming out of his mouth! Sometimes he spent too much time clarifying for confused students during class. But I guess if that is the main complaint then it isn't too bad.

He's great, I'll take him next quarter.

Dr. Love seems to really care unlike some professors and his tests are pretty easy if you understand everything that he covered in class.

Cool guy. A much better option then the other available teacher for this chem series. Funny too.

Good teacher...he sometimes over-explains things....but yeah...just study and you'll get good grades...

He's very helpful and explains things really well. All you have to do to get a good grade in the class is study your notes. I had him for 151 first and made sure to register for his class the next quarter. He's probably one of the best general chem teachers, especially if you compare him to other chem teachers at EWU.

the only flaw that i can find in dr. love is that he explains things a bit too much...wich is not necessarily a bad thing...just gets a little annoying. so in other words, hes a great prof! take him if u can cuz hes very helpful and very fair. (hes kinda funny too ;)

The dude is realy cool. He explains everything very well and if you didn't get a great score in that class, it was your own fault. He looks like the 40 year old virgin, but the cat is tight.

If you go to class and do homework you will do fine.

If you go to class, do the homework and can stand his repeat lectures (over and over), you can get an A+ easy, slack at all and your grade will suffer, he covers a lot, dont miss class. He will notice if your gone, and you will pay!!!

He is amazing! If you go to class and do the homework you'll do great

Go to class, do the homework, and you'll fine in the class. Ask questions and don't give up!

He almost blew a hole in the ceiling on the first day of class. It was great! He will help you if you need it, do the work and go to class.

great guy! makes rediculous jokes and repeats himself (which is good if you are not a chem major). so much better than the other choices for this class.. i find him oddly attractive for a nerdy mid 40's little guy. love the sweaters and button up shirts Love! ;)

Dr. Love is a great chemistry teacher! His only downfall is that he answers every single question dumb kids ask. Which can make you want to bang your head up against the wall. Looks a bit like the 40 year old virgin but its something to laugh at. You'll love Dr. Love!

He was such an awesome teacher! I hated chem. until i took his class. I want to take him again! take him if you get a chance

I have had Love from 151-153. If you come to class, and do the assigned homework, the class with be very easy. He is really easy to talk to, and though he's sometimes busy, he will make time. He's a great prof and a really nice person.

I had Love for CHEM 100, 152 and 153. I always found him ready to help and answer questions. He explains things very well. Do the practice problems from the text book and come to class.

Easy teacher. He will show you several ways to solve problems. He teaches you if you dont know anything about the subject so he will go out of his way to show you how to do homework and labs.

I had a very bad High School Chem teacher, so I know what a bad teacher is and Love is not one of them. He is very good at teacher the material and is always willing to help. He goes over everything in the book, so read before you go to class, do the assignments he suggests, and go to class. He will go over it and class and practice with you.

He is a great teacher. You can tell he really knows what he is talking about and he likes the material he is teaching! I would recommend him to anyone who needs to either learn chemistry or needs refresher course.

I enjoyed the class and learned a lot. Without this class I would never have been prepared for my 161 class

Best teacher! He's great! Sit up front, take notes, etc. Labs are fun.

Great Prof. Stays true to the material, even when he rambles. Real loves his job, like really really. VERY enthusiastic about it. Answers questions best in a one-to-one setting.

He's a really nice prof, if a little frazzled. It was his first time teaching 161, but everything on the tests was covered in class or in the book, and the questions were multiple choice.

I really enjoyed his teaching, his tests are very easy/ M/C and homework doesn't count. Easy class and easy to follow along if you have some background in the topic already.

As long as you go to class, you'll pass. Explains everything clearly and tests are mostly multiple choice. He doesn't understand personal problems, but if you need help regarding the chemistry he will definitely help you. If he teaches any other classes I need in the future I will definitely take the course with him.

Chemistry is not an easy subject, However this professor made it really easy to understand. He breaks the material down into smaller pieces and then builds it up. I surprising really liked this class and plan on taking this professor for as many courses as I can.

Chem is already pretty difficult to understand but I thought his lectures were always pretty clear. Go to class as often as possible. He does only lecture, 5 tests including the final and lab. No quizzes or homework. He is rude and condescending when you ask questions tho. pretty good class i'd take him again

Chem is already pretty difficult to understand but I thought his lectures were always pretty clear. Go to class as often as possible. He does only lecture, 5 tests including the final and lab.

There are a couple really solid intro chemistry professors at EWU but I switched to Dr. Love for Chem 153 and i'm wishing I had taken the whole series with him. Great lecturer, no mandatory homework, and his tests are cake compared to the other profs I've had. Mostly multiple choice with a couple "Show your work" problems. Easy Grader

Loved starting my college Chemistry with such a good teacher. Definitely going to take more of his classes.

Very easy intro class. He is a great teacher. Show up to class, do the homework, do the labs and you will pass. I used the book a couple times but never actually had to read it to understand the class.

Dr. Love rocks!!! Pay close attention to what he says in lecture and you'll be just fine. He provides a good foundation for learning chemistry and he's just genuinely a nice guy! Ask questions and he's very helpful with clarifying. Labs are kind of pointless, but not a deal breaker for taking his class!

Dr. Love is a great professor! He gives homework, but does not require you to do it. He also prepares you very well for the exams, and drops your lowest grade out of four. I would definitely take him again if given the opportunity.

Multiple choice exams and no graded homework. He drops your lowest test score and there are only 5 exams. The final is not weighted. The entire course is out of 450 points including labs (only 10 points each) and nothing is weighted. As long as you do the practice problems from the book the night before you are golden.

He said we needed a book, but I didn't buy one and did just fine. Really enjoyed the lab days. He tends to draw out what he's saying so it makes it a bit difficult to listen to him.

Dr. Love starts you from scratch at the fundamental level and then simply builds off of that. He has the most universal teaching style and it truly shows when his students start to return the favor in terms of handing in the good grade they feel they deserve. I'd take Love for ALL my science classes if my sanity depended on it.

I don't know why people are giving Dr. Love bad scores. They obviously never went to class, looked at the slides, or read the book. The exams are super easy. He breaks everything down barney style to make sure that his students understand chemistry, which most professors won't do. He wants his students to pass his class, not try to trick them.

He's very nice and will help out a lot but if you dont really understand chem, it will be the hardest class of your life.

The tests are mostly multiple choice worth three points each. If you miss a few, your grade goes down really fast. Overall I liked his lectures and felt like between in class examples and homework, I was pretty well prepared for the tests. The only grades you get are tests and labs so make sure you show up to class and do your practice problems!

He does a good job of explaining concepts from a variety of angles, which is helpful when trying to understand some of the more abstract concepts. He encourages participation. If you do the homework, go to the labs, and pay attention in class, you'll be fine. Only complaint was that he doesn't use canvas, so your grade will be ambiguous.

I personally loved Dr Love's class. He is very passionate about what he teaches, and the way he teaches has a lot of examples that works for just about every learning style. He answers questions well, too. I did hate how it was only graded on exams and labs, and he put nothing on canvas, but I learned a lot from him!

Amazing at explaining things through lecture. If you TRULY pay attention to what he is teaching things will make sense I promise, as well as doing homework(bit harder than exam but not graded just for practice). Gives occasional extra credit quiz. Gives an hour and a half for tests, and they are open all day. Drops lowest test. No zoom meeting.

Dr. Love has really amazing, concise, clear lectures. They are almost comically simple to understand. He had no graded homework, so the only grades in the class were the exams- 3 plus the final. Drops the lowest test grade. Exams are easy and open all day, thankfully for those of us who work. He is very smart and passionate about the science too.

He talks really slow. Luckily I took the class online due to covid so I could watch lectures on 2x speed.

I only took Dr. Love for the laboratory part of CHEM 171 and overall it was one of the easiest classes I ever took. Print the labs, look them over before showing up and you'll be fine. Professor Love is there if you need him or to look over any problems you may have. He genuinely loves chemistry and wants his students to succeed.

GOT AN A!!!!

Only 4 graded assignments for the entire course. 3 tests (lowest score dropped) and final. Lectures were excellent. Tests and quizzes multiple choice.

The only grades in the class are exams and labs. If you hold yourself accountable it's an amazing class with little stress. The lectures are easy to follow and interesting.

I love his teaching style, he's funny. There's no hw assigned, he suggests problems to do but not graded. He does 3 exams drops the lowest one, and then ur final. He does multiple practice problems days before tests and gives problems, reviews, recordings, and slides on canvas! People say they don't know their grade, just calculate ur avg exams :)

Chill guy. No homework is graded but it's good practice; you need the textbook for it, though it's the same book for the whole series. He wants you to pass, so he goes over everything thoroughly in lecture with examples on the board. Honestly, just attend lecture and take notes on the example problems and it's an easy class to pass.

Dr. Love is a caring person. I have gotten to know him well, and I enjoy speaking with him. I struggle with chemistry and he has encouraged me every step of the way. He has a mixed reputation amongst students, but I think that many students don't take the time to get to know him. If they did, I think that many would find that he's very kind.

I took the entire gen Chem series with Love, and he is an okay/good professor. He is sweet and nice person, although I did not like his teaching style. You will have to spend some time outside of class watching videos and doing your reading to understand the material. You are only graded on 2 exams and your final so that is kind of stressful
