very good teacher easy A if you do as he says
I really like Forensic Science.
No Comments
He makes class very interesting, especially from the forensic point of view and this is from a person who doesnt like science at all. Look forward to watching CSI at least once a week.
Really a great class, you always want to go to it, very interesting! Helpful and a good teacher! favorite class!!!
really awesome, fun and interesting class! just make sure to study for the tests
Straight to the point is what this class is. Study the powerpoint notes and read chapter summaries and its a sure A.
Fun class. Since this class I am a fan of CSI!
Organic chemistry is not known for being easy. There is no doubt you must study but boatwright works hard to make sure you understand what you are doing. He is always there to answer your questions. He takes class time to work problems
amazing teacher, funny guy, incredible benefits, you watch CSI almost half of the semester, finished off with a 99 in the class. take Boatwright if you know what is good for you. seriously, if you don't, there is something wrong with you.
A fun fun class with cool teacher that i will miss not having next semester! If u have him u will truely enjoy!!!
This class is a very fun and easy A. He gives loads of bogus test questions[EX. What color shirt was he wearing on some day(he tells you it is a question in advance)]. This guy is really funny and a really great teacher. i strongly recommend his classes.
Very easy A if you pay attention in class, and you get to watch CSI all the time. Cool teacher

This professor has definitely toughened his organic class. He's a pretty good professor and willing to help, but his tests are insanely hard. I compared notes with a previous student of his, and he has apparently made his organic class 10x as hard lately. I studied extremely hard all semester long and only made a D in here.
i love himmmmmmmmmmm....he is the koolest teacher ever. He tries to be funny but the fact is he is not which makes it more funny. he makes stuff easier for you and his class was the reason which made me change my major to CHEMISTRY :)
Great professor! Helped me regain my love for chemistry.
This is a very difficult course. the only good thing aboutit is that your workshop and lab grades can help your average. he helps you if you want it. but you still might fail because his test are tricky, BUT he gives the best curves any of my teachers have ever given.
He is awesome
He is a great lab professor! He knows that 3 hours for lab is just as stupid as we all do! He explains everything, we do it and leave! He tries to be funny which of course makes the class much more enjoyable!
I was dreading Introductory Chemistry and it's turned out to be one of, if not my favorite, class this semester! Read the book, study powerpoints, take online quizzes, and go to class. We watch CSI all the time and he gives out answers when nobody's there. Tests are fair. You will really learn so much about forensics. Very interesting! Take it!
He teaches Chem from a forensics viewpoint and its so interesting and fun! Lectures every other class and watches CSI. Tests are from the power points and the final questions are the exact same from previous tests. Study your old tests!
Lab...it's organic so it sucks...but Dr. Boatright is very comical and he always got us out of there in under 2 hours!
yet another great teacher out of a hand full... Great teacher this comes form a person that loathes Chem. he has a good sense of humor... test are alright, makes you feel stupid when he goes over them for making idiotic mistakes, but dont worry he curves YES!!!! do the assinged problems and ask questions they help... just give some effort...
Great teacher. I took him for Chemistry, but he taught the class as forensic science(CSI type). Throughout the course, the tests were hard, but there is a twist at the end of the class. If you make an A on the final, you make an A in the class! I recommend this class!!!
He was AMAZING!! Such a nice man!! It's not YUCK chemistry. It's forensics!! He gives power point notes, but then you watch CSI episodes to go along with the notes. He is precious. He tries to be funny, he's not, but it works for him. His tests are straightforward, not hard, just pay attention and you are good to go.

I love Dr. B he is the only chemistry teacher i will take, from 1211- organics..!! i reccommend him to everyone!
He is a great teacher. I took him for forensics and Chem 1211. He is very helpful and his test are exactly what he goes over in class, but he will throw in definitions from the book. Attendance is mandatory because he gives clicker questions everyday that count toward your grade. Labs are very easy. I will be taking him again for 1212.
Great class. Enough said!!
He is a very good teacher. He explains things clearly and wants his students to come to him for extra help. Take him and if you put in the work you will do well
I took him for Gen Chem I, and absolutely loved him. Fun class, you really get to learn chemistry and like it. I'm taking Hansen for Gen Chem II and I'm absolutely hating it. More than half dropped in Hansen's. TAKE BOATRIGHT by all means possible. He's a really nice man too. Helpful and funny.
LOVED HIM HE GETS TO THE POINT OF WHATS ON THE TEST. MAKES THE CLASS INTERESTING, I HAD HIM FOR A CRIMINOLOGY COURSE AND HE EVEN LET US WATCH CSI FOR ONE CLASS. HE GIVES HINTS FOR THE TEST AND PREPS YOU REALLY WELL FOR HE TEST. TAKE HIM HES GREAT
Great teacher, will help you with whatever you need. Explains things well and is clear about what will be on the test.
Great teacher. Doing the online homework and going to workshops really help with the tests, it is not necessary to read the textbook but you need it to show you how to work problems. Do well on labs, workshops, and clicker questions and thats 50% of your grade. Good teacher and easy as long as you put in a little effort.
Dr. B is an awesome CHEM Professor! He has helped me with a lot in my earlier CHEM years. He is a respectable man of honesty and faith and I look up to him! I recommend him to everyone!
Hands down.... Best professor I've had at West GA!
Professor Boatright puts u in the mind of Professor Snape. He has a deep voice and kind of has a wall up. However, he is more than willing to help u with chem! I managed to obtain a "B" in his class! Now u gotta bring it to get the grade that you want in his class. Btw, if u want to have an amazing conversation with him, just mention SPIDER-MAN!:D
He's a fair professor! I got a B in his class! Btw, if you want to have an interesting conversation with him just say the following word: spider-man! lol....good luck in his class!
Dr. Boatright is the best chemistry teacher at UWG. He is an excellent professor and strives to help you learn and do well in the class. Be in class on time for the clicker q's (they add up). He reviews for the exams. Dr. B is a great person and has a good heart. I still go for him for help with classes or just for advice. Take him!!!
He is an awesome teacher. Chem is a hard subject for some people, but he explains everything thoroughly. He also is willing to answer any questions and even go over the homework with you. he is an awesome teacher! I am taking him again next semester.
Amazing teacher. He will take the time out to discuss your notes with you and clear up any questions. He's a kind person and will help you even though your not in his class
Dr. Boatright is the absolute best professor I've had at UWG! He always has office hours available for you and is more than willing to help whenever you need it. I even went to him for help with my organic chemistry well-after I had his 1211 and 1212 class! He explains things clearly and never gets frustrated with you. He's just fun to be around!!
Dr. Boatright is my favorite teacher at UWG. He is very helpful, funny, and nice! I would DEFINITELY take him again, and recommend him to a friend. A+++++
HES DEFINATELY HARD.. STUDY STUDY STUDY!
Beyond awesome! I would want all professors to be just like Dr. Boatright. I feel he should teach a professor workshop
He is the best professor West Ga has.
He is an absolutely amazing professor. He's straightforward and easy to understand, and on top of that he's really funny too. There are clicker questions, so attendance is required, but he tends to basically give you answers for maybe half of the questions anyway. He's my favorite professor here at UWG by far.
he is GREAT! super fun, nice, and super super helpful! he jokes around, but knows what he is talking about. i have given his name out to many of my friends wanting to take CHEM 1212. best professor at UWG, by far!
Dr. Boatright is one of the best teachers I have ever had. I CHANGED MY MAJOR FROM BIOLOGY TO CHEMISTRY BECAUSE OF HIS CLASS. He speaks so concisely on the subject and is extremely understandable. YOU YOULD BE CRAZY NOT TO TAKE HIM. He is extremely funny and doesn't try to be, which makes it even funnier.
Dr. Boatright is by far the best professor I have ever had. He works with you as long as you make an effort to succeed in his class. Attendance is mandatory due to "clicker questions" that count for a nice chunk of your grade. Boatright teaches the material well and is willing to do all that it takes to help you understand the material.
Awesome professor.
Great professor! Grade is not given. Must be earned. But he was willing to help. loved him!
This is one of the best Professors in the Chemistry Department. He knows his stuff and he loves his students.Come to class with an open mind and your good. Test are straight forward.
Dr. Boatright is one of the best professors I've had in my college career. You must come to class due to the clicker questions, but I love coming to this class because he makes it interesting and truly knows and loves Chemistry. I am taking him for chem 1212 and chem 2411 next semester! Dr. Boatright is the truth!
Amazing professor, if you dont understand the homework just go to his office and ask for help. I went their almost evryday and got a B in the class. He can be a smart ellic but just smile and he will help.AMAZING PROF!
LOVE boatright. He's so sweet and so helpful. There was 5 tests including the final. If you miss a test, the final replaces the grade. And the final was curved 26 points for us. There was hw every week. Study, study study AHEAD of time! I got a B but it wasnt easy getting it.
I took Boatright for Chem 1211 and 1212. It's a tough class, but he's an amazing professor. He's super helpful, but you have to go see him in his office or ask for help. I got a B both semesters, an 89.2 for the first one, but you work for what you get. Welcome to college.
He advertises his office hours but when going to his office he made me feel stupid because I didn't understand. Made comments in class that were offensive to those struggling. His course ID was not active for a week and a half to do the online homework but had a test within 3 weeks over 3 chapters with no extension of the due dates of the homework
Dr. Boatright is a great professor! He makes lectures fun but you MUST attend class!! He had Clicker questions and you never know when he's going to ask them and if you're not there you get a 0 for attendance that day and it adds up! Also GO TO OFFICE HOURS he's willing to help but you need to be willing to ask! I would take his class again!
Great professor!!
Highly recommend!! He makes a tough subject, understandable. Studying is mandatory but he's there to help.
UWG hired him to fail you. Awful and rude teacher.
I changed my major from Chemistry to physics because of him. He's rude to all his students, he's here to fail you.
Don't take him unless you want your gpa to decrease. Never had a teacher so disrespectful as him.
I had an A in AP chemistry, but with Boatright I did terrible, because he's such a terrible teacher. He won't help you, his grading policy is to make you fail. Don't take him
This class was difficult. Boatright makes it seem as though he will help you in his office but when you go, he watches you struggle. When he realizes that you cannot do the work, he laughs and says that you're stupid because "he explained it in the lecture". He also says before almost every test that "half of the class will fail"
Dr. Boatright is an amazing professor. Yes, he is very picky about the free response questions on his test and he can be sarcastic, but he is all for helping his students understand. He has plenty of office hours, and he encourages people to ask questions. Chemistry isn't always easy,but if you actually try, his class is not hard.
Dr. Boatright is an amazing professor! Chemistry is a hard subject, especially the higher up you go, but he makes it fun by making jokes and getting the class to laugh. He's more than willing to answer any question and answers all of them! He explains the material great! The homework is really there to help you practice1 Definitely taking him again
Best Professor At UWG! Chemistry is only difficult, if you do not put the time and effort into the subject! Time management and study skills are learned as well in this course! With that being said, you're not only getting the chemistry aspect, but also a life aspect with Dr. Boatright! #HomeworkAssigned #ClickerQuizzes
Boatright is a great choice for chem. He is very clear in his expectations. He tells you exactly what to do to get good grades in his class an on assignments. & hes funny and sarcastic. Tests are mostly multiple choice with like 5 open answer questions. COME TO CLASS. participation can be the difference between an A or a B in the class.
Boatright was pretty clear about the flow of the class the first day. He told us 50% of us will fail. No extra credit and no last minute work opportunities. I ended the class with a high D and when I asked for some form of help he said maybe next time I shouldn't wait for help at the end. Even though I've visited him during office hours before.
He has a flip the classroom approach so he didnt teach anything. You literally read the entire textbook and have homework online. Not exaggerating. You have to read the textbook. In class he didnt lecture, he gave clicker quizzes over the material you had to teach yourself. he told us he makes tests for the avg to be a 70. worst teacher ever.
DO NOT listen to all of the reviews saying "he is a terrible teacher" or "has no respect for students". He is by far one of the best professors I have had at UWG. Chemistry is a hard course so you will have to study. If you can do the homework you will make A's on the tests. He is also very good about responding to emails. Good office hours too.
Dr. Boatright is awesome! He makes sure you actually understand the material. I have had Boatright for general chemistry, organic chemistry, and forensic chemistry. It is true he is sarcastic but his sarcasm is funny (not his jokes). His office hours are very helpful! Great all around professor (sometimes counselor , haha) I totally recommend!!!
Dr. Boatright is a great professor. He jokes around and makes lectures more interesting. His tests are pretty difficult, but as long as you pay attention, do the homework, and do a little extra studying you'll be okay. He has lots of office hours so definitely use them. And go to workshop because it'll help your grade a lot.
Great teacher, but if you don't pay attention in class you wont pass.
tests are hard but he gives you so many chances to understand whats going on in this class. use his office hours and apply yourself or you will not pass.. has a great sense of corny humor. clicker questions help a lot. just try to participate, and actually go to class. I did bad in the class but I didn't take two of the tests and still passed
Boatright was a great lab professor. He was willing to help everyone whenever they had a question. He was always willing to help even outside of his office hours. I am taking him again for 1152 lecture.
Boatright teaches at UNG even though this says West Georgia. I had him for chem lab and he was really easy. As long as your group does well on Tophat and lab work you'll be fine. There is a TA that helps out too. Just show up and you'll be fine. I had no idea what I was doing the whole year and got a 94 in the class. Don't hesitate to ask for help!
I took Boatright my first semester to complete one of my core sciences, and enjoyed his class. The clickers he mentions in the syllabus are a must if you want to do well in the class, as he has lecture questions almost everyday. His tests are not terribly difficult, and he is a very fair grader. I would definitely recommend him for CHEM 1211.
