GREAT PROFESSOR, VERY HELPFUL AND FAIR. YOUNG GUY WHO LIKES TO REALLY TEACH AND SHARE HIS PASSION FOR SCIENCE WITH OTHERS. HE LIKES PEOPLE TO ASK QUESTIONS, IT SHOWS THAT YOU REALLY CARE AND USUALLY THE "SMARTEST" OR BEST STUDENTS ASK FOR THE MOST HELP.

he has a good heart, and obviously cares about his students&chemistry. I have had first timers before and none had their stuff together like he does. He is very hard, but also very helpfull, if you just want an A in chem on your transcript then dont take him, HOWEVER if you are moving up in chem then he will help you alot in the future!

Professor Stewart is a hard teacher. He uses a powerpoint to lecture and sometimes goes too fast. His notes & study guides are usually 30 pages long to print. He is a nice guy, but for those of us who are new to Chemisry he goes to fast and does not expalin things thoroughly.

Enthusiastic young teacher. Started strong with emails and web postings, even provided scantron sheets. Slacked a little in second half, quit providing scantrons.

Mr. Stewart will get you EXCITED about chemistry. He'll do everything in his power to explain the material. He integrates the labs, multiple choice practices, lectures, quizzes and humorous analogies to completely prepare students to handle his exams and then some. You will be thought provokingly inspired.

You will not regret taking Stewart. The only thing is labs take a lot of time to write, and he took a while to get them graded. Tests graded quick, grades fair (curved). You should be able to get at least a "B" if you work hard. Gives extra credit. Helps his students a lot and is available a lot outside of class. I wish he teaches 401!

PROS: notecards on tests, good lectures, cool demos, you know EXACTLY how you can get a good grade. CONS: long lab reports, 65% exam avgs, must check email frequently, goes off-topic answering questions from his favorites. PROS strongly outweight CONS. Grades tougher on tests and quizzes, easier on labs than last 400 teacher. Work hard = good grade

A great teacher!! Less work than other teachers like Wiessbart, but you leave better prepared for Chem 401. Tests are very difficult if you don't do the homework, which isnt turned in. Slackers will not do well in this class, it takes effort to pass any Chem above 300. If you think he's hard change your major. All sciences get much more difficult.

He's the easiest of all the Chem 400 professors. He lets you have a cheat sheet on the test and doesn't assign homework. Which sounds nice, but it screws you over once you get to labor intensive Chem 401 and Ochem.

I don't understand this teacher. He does offer a lot of beacon tutoring and practice for exams, but he himself is definitely not approachable. He has too many formal lab reports due pretty much every week along with an online quiz every weekend. This class is very, very time consuming and he goes really fast on concepts. Do not recommend.

Nice guy. If you want an easy A, take professor Maddox, not Stewart. Stewart seems to be helpful, but moves very fast and is hard to understand. Also, tests are extremely difficult compared to Maddox's tests. Sometimes expects students to attend study groups OUTSIDE OF CLASS TIME. Definitely not the easiest Chem teacher. Take Maddox or even Payne.

Beware of the amount of information you will be printing. Literally the most useless thing ever. He makes you print every lecture and assignment then write it by hand then scan it into a PDF. The amount of effort you would have to put into this class is so ridiculous and on top of that he fails you.

HORRIBLE! I DO NOT RECCOMEND! I don't know whether he was a good professor before and then suddenly changed.. He never responds to my emails or messages on canvas. His lectures are never clear. The extra credit are HEAVY with little points. MORE THAN HALF THE CLASS FAILED THE FIRST MIDTERM! THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING.Go based on recent feedback

Stewart cares. You can pass this class if you put in. Midterms pretty similar to the practice tests and are open notes! I've been trying to finish up my certificate for years now, and this is the first time I'm actually making progress in a chem course. It's working for me, so, if you're thinking about taking this class, I would highly recommend.

Daniel Stewart is a great professor. I had him for CHEM 305 this past semester. The midterms we had in person were open noted and were everything we were learning from the weeks before. You just have to study and put in time and you can easily pass with an A or B. He provides extra credit. The labs were fun and I enjoyed going to class every week.

Professor Stewart is one of the best teacher I had in my all college journey. He's trying hard with the students to pass the class. Every is extra credit, doesn't provide that much work, all you need to take a notes from his lecture and submit your notes every week. I LOVED his class, one of my favorite teacher I have ever had.

Professor Stewart doesn't fly by lectures and takes the time to explain what you need to be doing. Ask questions when you're confused, he gets back to inboxes fairly quickly. You have to be there in class for the labs and on time.

Honestly, this professor is really good. He can be a little weird sometimes, but his class is super simple. The actual content can be tough, but if you read his lectures and do your work/hw, then you will get an A. There is lots of extra credit and his study guides are exactly like his exams!

Professor Stewart is by far the best teacher I have had in college. The weekly assignments consisted of notes and a test. His labs were amusing and he was always willing to help if you had any questions it felt like a very safe environment to learn. If you actually take the time to learn the course material it will be an easy A.

10/10! I have the difficulty level a 2, because some material you need to practice to retain. Did the extra credit almost every week, ended class with 103%. Quick to respond on canvas, and gives great examples during lab to help you work through stoichiometry. I was nervous for this course, but am so glad I took it! Easy A if you put in the work.

I have retaken Chem 305 3 times because the teachers were awful. Prof. Stewart change chem for me. He wants you to pass and provides EVERYTHING you need to succeed. There is a lot of information so be prepared to study but I would take him again! Offers extra credit and really works with you if you miss a lab or an assignment.10/10 would recommend.

Prof. Stewart is an amazing professor, if you had chemistry in H.S. this will be a easy class. Even though I didn't have that background prof. Stewart made it easy for me to understand and grasp the material. There are 4 exams, each week you have lecture notes and a quiz. He responds to emails quickly, he wants us to all succeed. Take his class.

The BEST professor. He really cares about his students and the material he is teaching. For hybrid chem 305 had lecture notes to complete during the week. About 10 pages in length but you watch his posted YouTube videos so you just have to follow along. Meet 1x in person to do labs and in person midterms. Midterms are hard but doable if you study.

Professor Stewart has been my favorite professor so far! He gives you the opportunity to earn extra credit each week. He states everything in class clearly and his online lectures were straight to the point and detailed. He is super nice, funny, and he cares for every student! He has office hours if you need any help and easy to get ahold of.

All chem classes are HARD. Stewart is a great/personable guy. He sets clear instructions on what needs to be done in order to pass his class. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT, it will help bump your grade up a letter grade. Do NOT freak yourself out, just keep pushing forward. Ask questions if you have any, he doesn't mind. 3 midterms. 1 final. Work every lab!

Chemistry is HARD, Professor Stewart made it much easier to grasp. There's a lab session every week and instructions are very clear. He gives out extra credit work every week. DO IT. It's a great way to boost your grade. There are 3 midterms and a final. He made chemistry fun and I genuinely looked forward to his class. Would definitely take again!

During the 2 hours I had him in person weekly he was an amazing professor. If I had any questions at all he was more than happy to answer them and never made you feel less for asking any question. His midterms were rough (100% open textbook, note, and material)

Take this professor if you can! He offers weekly extra credit and extra credit on most of the 3 midterms. Lecture videos are clear, and he provides note packets. The textbook isn't required, only for extra credit. Tests and midterms are open-notes.I finished with 110%, so if you do the work, it's very hard to fail.
