Dr. Anderson is the BEST professor I've ever had. He's a very good teacher (explains things well), and is really fair on grading. He makes the class really interesting, too- he's funny and does lots of demos.

Dr. Anderson is an AWESOME teacher! Probably the best you will ever have in your whole college experience! He makes chemistry fun (and that takes talent).

great teacher!! professors don't come any better that dr. anderson.

Organic Chemistry is hard no matter where you go, but Dr. Anderson has a knack for making it interesting by relating it to real things. I never would have thought that I would learn the structure of a queen bee's pheromone. It all somewhat makes sense.

Very clear in lecture, and quite willing to help students.

Dr. Anderson is a patient and very good professor. He makes sure the class understands the material, and is always willing to help.

he is very thourough and I enjoy his class.

Dr. Anderson was a great teacher. He was very respectful of the students... as long as they were respectful of him. He was also very energetic and sometimes funny.

Seminar with Dr. Dave was awesome. Super laid back and realized we are there for an easy A. Brings food a lot and drops assignments that he thinks are dumb. Cool guy

Gives old tests to study by.

Fantastic class. Even on the days I slept through it

Dr. Anderson is amazing! He is very clear and easy to understand. He makes chemisty fun and very interesting! LOVE his experiments!!!

Used powerpoint. Very clear. Posted last year's tests and quizes and modeled new testts after old ones. Easy A if you master the old tests. He is the easiest going professor. And easy on the eyes ladies!

way cool teacher

great teacher! and not to bad on the eyes!

Amazing prof! Very willing to help and let the students learn! He wants you to pass, he has a lot of notes to take in class.Yet they are very easy to understand and he doesnt always lecture! He is great!

Anderson's an awesome professor. His notes are very condensed and clear, but you have to go to class to see the examples worked out. If you don't miss a lot of classes (and clickers), you'll do great! And he's a sexy man...that's always nice.

I didn't really understand Chemistry, but he made it possible to pass his class anyway. His notes are really easy to understand. He's a great teacher overall. As long as you finish the homework, show up to class and do the clicker questions, and do the labs you should be able to pass. A LOT of work, though!

331&332: He is an awesome teacher. He gives you everything you need to know for exams and there are no tricks. Go to class, do the clickers (they add up like crazy in the end!), pay attention and master the practice exams and you're guaranteed an A. He is very clear. Difficult to approach sometimes, but a very nice guy and great teacher.

Do the problems he assigns and review his lecture notes and examples thoroughly and the class is completely doable.

He is very nice and a great teacher! if you do the practice problems and what not you will do great!

He's got a great attitude and he's there for your success. He loves what he teaches.

Anderson is a great professor. Interesting guy. Very clear and straight forward. Tests are exactly like the homework and quizzes and study guides. He made Chem 106 a breeze. I would change my schedule around to take him if I were you.

Although the material might have been hard sometimes, the clear expectations made studying much easier

Dr. Anderson is a pretty good teacher if you come to class prepared. I found that if I didn't look at what we were going over before class, I was lost. So look over the book before! Also do all the suggested problems. Some of those exact questions will be on the quizzes.

Dr. Anderson is the most helpful individual on the entire campus, in my opinion. He is thorough and prepares us to not only do well on his tests, but the ACS exam. He always has an available ear even with his busy schedule. Any student can do well in his classes if they put in the time and come to him with questions before it gets too late.

Incredibly nice and helpful. My absolute favorite professor. Just don't expect the class to be easy.

Had him for Organic chemistry lecture both semesters. I love his teaching style and his voice is amazing. His class is difficult, but he makes it as painless as possible. Always go to his office if you suspect a grading error. He gives his students the tools to succeed.

Awesome professor. I would work schedule around being able to have him for o-chem.

Anderson is fantastic! Knowing this you should still be prepared to self-teach. Reading before lectures or after is a must unless chem is something you EASILY pick up on. He prepares you well for each test and there is always an excr question. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK if it is wiley. When you buy the code the text is online. Easy on the eyes for sure...

GREAT professor! Great personality & handsome. Start the hw early, study it, & you'll make an A. Very helpful during office hours. Attend lec for clickers. Weekly quizzes and extra credit on each one. Text useful for clarification (different than online version, but expensive). Solutions manual is VERY helpful. ONE GROUP QUIZsemester if you ask.

Good luck finding a better professor and situation for Organic Chemistry. He gives a quiz a week--it may seem like a lot, but come the end of the semester, you'll be happy to have a thousand points to cushion any mistakes you will make in the course. If you read the textbook and do the problems, you'll easily score an A.

Easiest OCHEM professor in the United States. Sets his students up to succeed with numerous resources and clear expectations. He does expect you to come to class prepared but clearly covers all the material and prepares his students well for the ACS final.

Anderson is a great prof but the class is still difficult. Really work on learning the concepts because the second semester final is cumulative and will destroy your grade. Clicker questions and homework count for a small but important portion of your grade. Anderson is willing to answer questions and is kind about doing so.

Dr. Anderson is aaamazing! I was scared of Ochem because of what others were telling me. Don't get that into your head:) Dr. Anderson is really chill and he is always there to help you out. He teaches the material well. However you have to work to get an A in the course, but at least you always know that he can help you out if you are lost.

Dr. Anderson is amazing! If possible take him for Ochem and no one else!!! I was hesitant about this class, but it wasn't bad at all. He's been my favorite chemistry prof so far. Do the homework in advance, study it, and you will do great on the weekly quizzes. He is always there to answer questions, and he's fair.

He is fair and makes Organic Chemistry bearable

Dr. Anderson is extremely straightforward with this class. All of the questions on the quizzes come directly from the homework. If you do the homework and have the initiative to do them over again, you will have no problem getting an A.

There are little clicker questions throughout the class, so while you don't have to show up, it is nice for your grade. If you do the clicker questions and homework and work the problems you will do well. He gives you an opportunity to take one quiz as a group quiz! Take advantage early not the last quiz. Chapter 11 quiz takes your lowest grade!

At first, Dr. A comes off as huge standoff professor and the class seemed to be a joke. If you want help outside of the classroom just go to the science center because he'll just tell you to read the book over and over again. The class is easy and it is possible to get an A. You get a test every Friday over one chapter which is helpful.

Dr. Anderson is a fun and relaxed Prof. Sometimes he may go a little faster than the class in lecture material, but when it comes to the nitty gritty Dr. Anderson is more than fair. Each week he has a quiz about one page front and back. Anderson also explains things well in lecture. He has also been known to give group quizzes but only when asked.

Dr. Anderson was by far my favorite chemistry professor. He is extremely clear about his expectations, and is unbelievably organized. If you want a teacher to give you a clear grading criteria, deliver clear lectures, and grade quizzes on time; he's your guy. I generally learned the information from the book, however his organization was pristine.

While this is a tough class, he is very clear and tells you how to do well in O-Chem. There are many tests/quizzes in this class, however, he provides study guides and chapter outlines for each one. DO NOT expect this to be any easy class whatsoever, but he makes it understandable and fun.

He's the best chem prof. I've had. He makes O-Chem easy. Chapter quizzes every Friday so everything will be fresh in your head. He also does clicker questions every class. He has clear grading criteria and very good outlines. Do the chapter problems in the book and the old quizzes, it'll be an easy A. Don't fear, O-Chem is really not bad at all.

Dr. Anderson is my favorite instructor of my undergrad so far. This is not due to the fact that he is super easy-but because he truly cares. The class is difficult, but he has weekly quizzes instead of a few exams, so screwing up on one or two won't ruin your grade. He is very clear with the material you should know. I got over 100% on 7 of them.

Anderson was a great organic chemistry teacher. He only gives quizzes each Friday and a final. He is well-rounded and knowledgeable. I enjoyed going to class each day.

Professor Anderson is pretty laid back and is accessible outside of the online course. The course load was reasonable and organized, and I enjoyed learning from his discussions and the reading material. Just participate and study for your quizzes, and you should be good to go. Easy A!

Professor Anderson has been one of my favorite professors in undergrad. His class structure is amazing and although the class is difficult, he makes it much more bearable. Use what he says to study with and actually study it.

This class was significantly easier than his organic 1 course, and hes caring for his students if you need to talk to him. Grading criteria is clear and there are no tests, but quizzes on a weekly basis. Homework is through sapling and quiz questions are pulled from the text and sapling homework.

Dr. Anderson has been teaching this subject between 20 and 30 years. He has the material down, and will go fast sometimes, but allows for any and all questions without being a jerk like some of the other chemistry professors. Weekly quizzes keeps you on top of learning the material, and he grades super fair. Always willing to have a discussion.

Dr. Anderson is very knowledgeable and provides you with clear expectations for this class! OChem is not easy but if you study and dont let yourself get behind youll be fine. He doesnt try to trick you and gives you access to plenty of practice problems. I couldnt have asked for a better OChem Professor!

Dr. Anderson is a very straight forward professor. He is happy to help at office hours. His quizzes are very fair game and reasonable. Good guy all around.

The online class was great. I had to study a bit; I used all of the study resources and couldn't manage to get above a B+. Anderson sometimes covered material quickly and seemed a little condescending in class if you asked an obvious question. But he would be happy to answer questions via email and in class if you ask! I recommend this class!

Dr. Anderson is such an awesome professor. He has a straight forward approach that I found so refreshing. 1.) Read your textbook 2.) Attend lecture 3.) Do your homework and practice problems. You absolutely have to study, but there are no curve balls and he is so responsive to feedback from the class and will help anyone that asks for it.

He knows his material well, and the grading was probably my favorite thing about the class. Tests were administered weekly on single chapters/concepts. If you did poorly on one, you could always come back the next week and do better. The lectures moved VERY quickly at times, but there are lots of practice problems worked in to help you study

His lectures move quickly, but he offers practice problems and review sessions at the science center. Take advantage of extra practice! Attend the lecture in person or over Zoom, or watch the recording at your own time. Tests are multiple choice, make up the majority of the grade. Great lecture slides to study and fill out too, great organization

Professor Anderson is a great teacher that teaches a difficult subject. Do not expect to get a good grade without putting in the time and effort required to do so. He is quick to reply to questions and emails, and his teaching style is clear and easy to understand. The quizzes match the content learned on the lectures slides.

I enjoyed my time with Dr. Anderson. He was very accommodating to schedules and replied to emails quickly. Just do the work on time and you'll get a good grade. I would take his class again.

While the class was extremely difficult, Dr. Anderson is a great professor. He provides multiple resources and recorded lectures in Canvas so if you can't make it to class, you can still be successful. When emergency circumstances arrive, he is willing to work with you and allow you to make up work you may have missed. Extremely knowledgeable.

Professor Anderson made Chemistry extremely easy to understand. The class is completely online and focuses more on papers and tests than anything else. My advice, pay close attention to the answers on every exam and test as they will likely be repeated. Also, do all of the worksheets, even though they are not graded. They help so much.

At times the quizzes can feel ‘unfair' with multi select & previous chapter content but the syllabus does state he does that. He records lectures, weekly quizzes so one quiz doesn't break your grade. He comes off brash but he is truly very kind. READ THE TEXTBOOK. His lectures are verbatim of that and it improved my grade so much.

He is very intelligent in his field, and he loves what he does. But he forgets his students don't know what they're doing. He cares about how his students do a lot but it just feels like he doesn't always give us the resources to do well.

His reviews are misleading. He teachers verbatim of the textbook. He's willing to help & explain if you go to him individually. The school has weekly help sessions & the science center. He even is willingly to hear students complaints and adjust tests. Can't expect to sit in lecture & pass w/o opening the textbook, your grade won't be surprising.
