Definitely show up to class with Dr. Meyer. Not only will you better understand the material come test time, but you'll also rake in clicker points which can be a grade saver. He's pretty funny most days too, which is always a plus.

I'm personally not a fan of chem and that influenced my opinion of the class. In reality it wasn't that bad, but Meyer thinks this stuff is extremely basic even though it may the first time you are learning the material and therefore doesn't teach very well.

People love to bash on Drew Meyer simply because they end up doing poorly due to a lack of effort. Sure he may be disorganized in lecture, but his teaching method is very clear cut and easy to understand. He is super helpful during office hours and his tests are not as bad as people say. Put in the work and you will get your desired grade

I thought his lectures are okay. He's a pretty funny guy. Always wears baggy pants. He does make me work for my grade. His tests are pretty hard.

I think he's a really nice, funny guy. To improve his lectures, he should show more example problems and less slides, because the only way to really understand chem is to learn through practice problems. For ALEKS, yeah it's boring, but just try to get it done early and not leave it for the end. It's really only bad because it's long and takes time

Dr. Meyer lives for chemistry, but sometimes has a hard time explaining it to students. His powerpoints are all over the place. With that said, if you study you can get an A on each test, but you have to put in the effort. Also, if you ever have questions he is very easy to reach during office hours. He truly wants his students to succeed.

Great lecturer, online homework sucks but other than that great class. Would recommend. Don't bother with the textbook if you took chemistry in high school at all. Attend class for the clicker points, otherwise you can media-vision it.

I thought Drew was a good teacher, easy to follow if you take notes. Tests are long for the amount of time given, but fair in difficulty. Go to class for the clicker points and quizzes. Do your ALEKS as well, which, while annoying, is actually quite helpful. Overall funny guy. I enjoyed lectures. The textbook is a good resource if you need it.

Gotta study to do well!

As a followup to P-chem 1 (CHEM301), Dr. Meyer greatly improved the P-chem experience. His lectures are straight and to-the-point, and if you read and understand his slides you won't need to touch the textbook. Do the problem sets sincerely, and the exams are very reasonable. Clicker points are freebies, don't skip class. His personality is smooth.

His lectures are mostly clear, but not always. The ALEKS homework is frustrating at times but is very helpful. Before each exam, he puts many practice problems and even a practice exam with answers on Blackboard. I would HIGHLY recommend to complete them because his exams are pretty challenging. I was able to get an A each semester because of them.

Dr. Meyer is a very good professor if you approach his class in the right way. His exams are definitely difficult and not something you can get by with just lecture notes on. The one thing I don't like is he kind of leaves most of the practice to the online homework so you need to find other sources of practice like his worksheets and SI sheets.

"Okey" "clicker questions!"

Difficult class but if you but the work in and do some of the optional worksheets you should be fine. Also, Drew got the most swag on campus so thats pretty cool.

Tests are kinda hard

Dr. Meyer is very passionate about chemistry and that really shows during his lectures. The tests are quite hard, but if you study, you get the grade that you deserve in the end. Sometimes his clicker questions can be annoying, but they are helpful. And finally, Dr. Meyer is the coolest meme, so who wouldn't like him?

Very passionate about Chemistry and makes the class fun, though sometimes he's kinda confusing. Must attend the SI sessions and do the practice problems he posts on Blackboard. Do his in-class activities and ask questions whenever in doubt! Never forget your iClicker! Okaaaaaaaaayyy!!

Covers a lot of material in each class, quite quickly, which can get overwhelming. Weekly quizzes at TA sessions. Weekly homework online (SmartWork) which is not super related to the tests/quizzes. Is a bit intimidating to talk to, and can be a bit snarky, but is good about holding office hours if you need help, plus there are SIs and TAs.

good at explaining things, however sometimes he goes way to fast. however his grading system makes sures that most people will finish with at least a C. Hard tests. Fast paced course. Hard tests. You dont have enough time. GOod guy.

Material starts off easy but then picks up a little in the middle of the semester. Won't require much studying outside of the online homework. With a little work you can do well in this class. Expect tests to be harder than homework.

Dr. Meyer gives great lectures. All of his slides are available for review and he kept the class engaged through "clicker questions" that also help you learn the material. I missed the last few classes and my final exam grade reflected that, so I would definitely recommend attendance. He also holds office hours which are very helpful.

You'll know his name by your first semester, even if you don't take his class. His lectures can be entertaining, but if you aren't a Chem person, they might be sometimes boring. No attendance, but there are clicker questions in class which count as part of your grade. Prepare for the weekly quizzes and make sure you don't leave ALEKS for the end.

Solid professor. All material is covered in lecture and the power points are posted online, so don't get the textbook. You'll have enough to study with. He offers office hours, but they are often packed--not very helpful. Also material is covered very fast and running out of time on tests is common. Fairly light homework.

Dr. Meyer is a very competent lecturer who has the ability to explain the material in a way that is accessable to all students. However, the tests can be difficult and are weighted heavily.

Dr. Meyer is a great professor! His lectures are a bit fast at times, but are relatively clear and understandable. He posts lecture slides before all of the exams, and several practice problems and exams are on Canvas. Accessible outside of class and always willing to help. ALEKS and Clicker questions are the main weaknesses of the class.

Great teacher and a great person willing to take the time to talk to you and make sure that you understand material. Definitely advise to go to his office hours if you don't understand material in class immediately so that you can catch up. Do practice problems. Reading the textbook with the lectures also helped to revise concepts.

Drew is one of the best Chemistry professors you could ever have. He is very clear and articulate in his lectures and he seems like an overall nice guy.

Dr. Meyer is a very good teacher, and he is very good at utilizing the given technology. SI's will be a lot of help.

Drew Meyer is honestly the best professor you'll ever meet. His lectures are literally a meme; his lectures are very helpful cuz he goes over examples. It's a fast paced class, but it's definately fun and worth it. You'll never fall asleep in his class. He's literally so funny and adorbs.

Good teaching. Patient!

Dr. Meyer's Chem 111 course wasn't terribly difficult. If you study and review the material and use the resources he posts on canvas, you'll have no problem mastering his material. Real meme, however. Clicker questions are annoying but he gives very clear lectures. If you know the material you can finish his exams on time smh

How can you people not love Drew... He genuinely wants everyone to do well and I got an A without even studying a minute. Guess what? I'm a philosophy major, if I can do it, you can.

Drew Meyer is very clear on what he wants you to do and learn. I can tell that he loves the subject material, and he is very available during office hours. People think its hard, but I'm a music major, so chill out. As long as you put in the extra work, you should be fine

Drew Meyer was one of my favorite professors this semester. I did have prior experience with AP Chemistry going into the class, but I can understand why someone who has had very little past experience with chem might struggle a little. My advice would be to take good notes in lecture and do as many practice problems as possible.

He is good if you already know the material. He is a chill dude though, pretty easy too.

great teacher; very clear and organized lectures; really helpful outside of class at office hours; genuinely cares about students' academic success (that's rare); tough exams but gives lots of helpful practice problems and practice exams to prepare; make sure to go to class because lecture is helpful and he's really clicker point heavy; such a dad

The class is huge, so if you can't focus in class, don't bother going. Watch mediavision when you have to. ALEKS is annoying but helps you learn. He's great at office hours but come with specific questions in mind. Tests are long so you need to work very quickly.

Had him both semesters, not a bad dude overall. Tests are long, even though I'm a pretty decent test taker I was always running low on time. SI sessions are helpful. Even after going to lecture, I'd have to watch mediavision sometimes because he goes fast through slides and speaks in one long sentence when explaining in lecture.

Solid intro prof who gives clear lectures and actually tries his best to ensure that you get the highest grade possible with the test dropping policy and easy points like ALEKS and iClicker points. His tests are fair but if you prepared by doing practice problems from SI sessions, the textbook, and his own practice problems, you will be fine.

Take Dr. Meyer's class and you will never regret. I have learned how wonderful chemistry is after CHEM 105 and CHEM 106. Moreover, Dr. Meyer's office hour is really really helpful.

He can be tough if you don't put in the necessary effort and stay on top of your work. He gives weekly quizzes & worksheets and has clicker questions in every lecture. If you actively engage yourself in these and pay attention during lectures, you can definitely get and A or a B. He likes to throw curveballs on some tests and make you work for it.

Class moves quickly and is difficult. AP Chem in high school makes it more manageable, but it is still pretty hard. He lectures well and everything is on mediavision. Come to class for clicker points. Tests are difficult but if you keep up with practice problems and work hard, it'll be fine. Test replacement is also very helpful.

One of the hardest classes I've taken but I somehow got that A even though I didn't take AP Chem in high school. His grading policy allows you to make mistakes on exams but still get a passing grade. Clicker points and homework brings up grades but tests were definitely harder than anything I've seen before.

CHEM105 is a difficult class because as you are adjusting to everything in college, you also have to deal with a fast-paced class with very difficult exams. There are 3 exams and Dr. Meyer drops the lowest one and replaces it with the grade received on the final. I had a high C and was able to bring my grade up to an A from the last exam.

Drew may get a bad rep from some but he is a very good explainer when it comes to intro chem concepts. Crystal clear lectures and if you do many practice problems, the tests become straightforward. If you come in with AP Chem knowledge this class becomes a breeze. If not he is accessible during office hours and you can definitely do well.

Lectures are good and you should show up for clicker points. ALEKS which is the online learning platform can become a pain if you don't pace it well.

He's about as good as a giant-lecture-hall-introductory-general-chemistry professor as you're going to find. Go to his office hours, do practice problems, go to SI, and you'll do fine. You don't have much of a choice if you take him or not if you need chemistry, but don't feel bad about having him if you do.

I liked Drew's class. I'm not good at chemistry at all, but he explains concepts very clearly and even though I've never taken AP chem, I was able to get an A. It's not an incredible life-changing class by any means (it's still a giant lecture intro class), but it's as good as those types of classes can get.

While his tests aren't the highlight of my college experience, they aren't impossible to do you just have to work quickly. The first semester he's definitely worse, but 106 he's very good at conveying the material. I recommend taking 111 over 105 because it's easier and it's the same material except you learn more stuff thats recovered in 106.

Okayyyy... Drew starts every class with Okayyyy.. and he is definitely Okayyyy. Allows you to drop the lowest test grade in one of the three exams, but final exam will count more. Class is very fast pace and lots of work with ALEKS. Do all the practice, goto SI sessions, attend every class, then you "may" get an A, but at least he is nice.

CWRU'S one true dad. Drew does the best with what he has, a 300+ person lecture hall of people with various chemistry backgrounds and a lot of content to cover. His lectures are fast paced but thorough. Tests are fairly long and not necessarily easy. Pay attention in class, do practice problems/ALEKS, and go to office hours. You'll do fine.

he's a legend. I hated chemistry going in and after two semesters with him I feel as if I have really grown in my chemistry knowledge. You can really tell he cares about his students and is also quite the performer in terms of keeping the crowd interested. He's very knowledgeable and his office hours help, but definitely go to SI sessions. gr8 time

Really good professor. The active learning assignments are actually super helpful if you work through them in class. He admits himself that tests aren't written to be hard, they're written to put you under a time pressure: so just do a lot of practice problems so you can work through the tests quickly.

The best prof at case ever

Meyer explains things clearly and watching the Echo360 is a great idea to really understand the material. Grades include clicker-questions, ALEX, and tests. Unless it's a special clicker question, he basically tells you the answers on clicker questions. ALEX is easy if you do it. Tests are hard b/c of a time crunch.

Drew is funny and a good guy. His class isn't awful but he definitely is not the best teacher. You will have to do some self-teaching to make it by. The whole class is based on lectures and the majority of grades come from 4 tests. But he makes it pretty easy to do well.

By far my best professor this semester! Drew Meyers is such an intelligent professor and articulates his lectures very well. He provides an incredible amount of extra resources if you are unclear on certain topics. I honestly put in very minimal effort and still managed to do well because of him. Tests are very fast-paced. However, ALEKS is a pain.

I hate chemistry and I still managed to get an A in his class. Hes very straightforward about the material and gives plenty of ways to practice/prepare for exams, but he moves through the content very fast. If you do practice problems youll do fine on the exams. Do ALEKS, participate with your iclicker & itll boost your grade a TON.

Solid professor. The usual difficulty for a CHEM class that everyone has to take. However, he skips through a lot of materials closer to finals.

Dr. Meyer is a solid professor. He has a large class to work with, and he does well with what he has. He's an interesting lecturer, and provides more than enough material to study from. If you do the practice problems and practice exams, you'll be prepared for his tests. Do the ALEKS and the clicker questions too, they boost your grade.

The materials can get hard for CHEM 105, but it gets much better in CHEM 106. He is a great lecturer and covers everything that appears on the tests. Make sure to study all of his practice problems, review ECHO360 and go to SI sessions. There are weekly HW called ALEKS, and it is a grade booster. Clicker questions every class and counted for points

Say what you want but Dr. Meyer is probably one of the most respected professors at CWRU. His large lectures of 200ish students is silent and everyone pays attention (quite rare). His class is extremely structured and the homework (ALEKS) is very easy and an easy grade boost. The tests are sometimes hard but if you study you'll be fine!

He's a great lecturer and speaks clearly. If you took AP Chem, CHEM105 and CHEM106 should be a walk through the park with Dr. Meyer. He can be grumpy during office hours (so don't take it personally like the way I did at first).

Dr. Meyer is a very clear, experienced lecturer. I did poorly in high school chemistry (I did not take AP Chem), but found that with plenty of preparation, an A in this course is totally reachable. My advice: focus DURING the lecture (don't cram all the night before), over prepare for the exams and be glad afterwards, and go to the SI sessions.

Took his class as a freshmen and really enjoyed it. He was a tough grader and the classes were hard, but he is fair and accessible teacher, cares about his students

Since I have taken AP chem in high school, I did not really listen to his lectures in Chem105. I hardly got an A (89%). AP chem did not cover much of chem 106, so I actually listened in Chem106. I then found getting an A pretty easy. His test questions are okay, as long as you listen to his lecture really carefully. He tests on many details.

Take this class during the summer if you can. It was a lot more straightforward, and I felt like the material was easier to understand. He always answered emails, homework/clicker questions helped, and I found it a lot easier to communicate with him than it was while I was on campus. It was nice to not have to pay for/use Aleks either.

Despite what all the F20 reviews say, I honestly really liked Dr. Meyer! Maybe its because I already know the material due to AP chem, but I found him to be a pretty solid professor; however, he definitely makes you work for your grades. The exams can be confusing at times, but its very rewarding when you do well. Work hard and youll do well!

Dr. Meyer was a great professor, but he rarely lectures in class. To learn any information, we had to watch pre-recorded YouTube video. Despite that, he does help you out in his office hours. Although it may seem frustrating, to get a good grade, you will have to attend SI sessions and/or get a peer tutor to fully grasp different concepts.

Test: Very understanding(raise score by average/test problem mistakes), only test what he teaches Lectures: that total 30-40 min at max (less than designated class time) Txtbook not necessary unless you don't understand some material. Free practice problems he uploads before class is harder than the test but very useful. Excellent teacher.

Drew is scary at first but he warms up if you go to office hours. Do and understand the entire active learnings and clickers (they show up on tests). ALEKS helps for the basics but do the practice questions because they are more similar to test questions. Ask him questions consistently if you've got them. He's not very responsive to emails.

Do as he says and you will get an A. There is no need to read the textbook as long as you watch his lectures and do a lot of practice problems. Practice problems are the key to doing questions quickly and correctly.

Professor Meyer definitely taught a hard class but was understanding with curving the grade at the end of the semester and dropping some quizzes.

I'll preface this by saying I took AP chem in high school, so most if not all the material was review for me. That being said, he makes himself very available for the students who want to meet or are struggling, and ALEKS is a pretty good study/homework tool. Lecture videos are fine if you already know the material, maybe a bit vague if you don't.

Meyer is definitely a nice person and cares about his students, but has a "you're in college now" attitude to some things. He didn't really adapt well to online classes, but the grading system is very fair. Make sure to point out if you think a TAs made a mistakes, he gives a lot of partial credit on Short Answer Questions. Curved our class 5%

He is really nice and is willing to explain things multiple times until you understand it. However, it is guaranteed that you'll miss points on the FRQ's and won't get a reason as to why. Also, the test always has at least one question about a concept not taught in class or about a concept that was only mentioned once and very briefly.

Dr. Meyer records videos for the lectures. The amount of materials is decent. Lots of content has been covered in high school. The exams are not too bad, some of the questions might not be mentioned in the classes, but it is related to the concepts we have learned, so it is not that terrible.

I only had him online, but I actually thought he was a good professor. The concepts were thoroughly explained and I know the videos were short, but because they were so condensed I feel like it made up for the length. I honestly enjoyed the class.

He was WAYYYYY better for CHEM 106 compared to 105 in the Fall. I guess he actually read the course evaluations because I felt the exams were more fair and the material was easier to understand. 105 was a complete mess, so if you feel frustrated, have hope because it does get better in 106.

Great professor, really cares about his students. The class itself is quite difficult and he allows for mistakes with his exam replacement policy. Was very caring and understanding. Even if you don't do particularly well on exams, you can still get an A. Great class!

Drew Meyer is an excellent teacher and cares about his students. The class itself is quite difficult as there is a lot of content to master in a short amount of time. However, he makes it manageable with the exam replacement policy, so even if your exam scores aren't great you can still get an A. Also remember to do your ALEKS!

Great professor if you put in work outside of class before tests. Use the previous tests but they're not always a good representation of the exam. Cutting corners while studying will translate into your grade so beware of that. Exam replacement policy is very helpful as it makes one exam a warning that your study method isn't working.

Prof Meyer makes us study on ALEKS which I think helped me understand the material much better. Also, he gives us a lot of materials to practice outside of class and his youtube videos are good for note taking. What I don't like is that he doesn't usually answer questions from us... and he doesn't really help with homework. Practice and you succeed

Make sure to familiarize with content from the Youtube videos he uploads. He never strays away from that content. Read the textbook when you don't understand his lectures/attend office hours. Very clear with his grading criteria. If you do all the Aleks and quizzes, score at least 85 on all tests, you got an A. Very clear, efficient professor.

Nice guy. Great teacher. Not boring class.

Prof. Meyer is honestly a really good guy. Wants to see his students succeed and is pretty enthusiastic on conveying (boring) introductory chem material. Always answers questions in and out of class. Weekly ALEKS is a grade booster. Attendance not mandatory but graded for answering iClicker questions. Definitely not a breeze but tests are doable.

The lectures can be confusing and the slides don't always show the necessary concepts the best way possible, but he is super kind if you go to his office hours with questions. The tests can be confusing in terms of wording, but he posts an abundance of practice problems and review so there is really no excuse for not understanding a concept.

Dr. Meyer is a great teacher. His lectures are clear and he gives ample practice problems ahead of tests. He also is very accessible outside of class and genuinely takes the time to explain concepts students struggle with during his office hours. His exams are a bit tough, but they are not unexpected bc problems we do in class reflect difficulty.

Professor Meyer is great. He makes lectures fun and interesting despite it being a gen chem course with 350 students. He provides so many resources on canvas and makes himself so accessible, that I believe anyone can get an A in his class if they put the work in.

Drew is a great professor. He is clear during lectures and will tell you everything needed to know on tests. He always give ample practice problems. I started out with a high C and eventually, got to an A!! Put in the work by going to office hours, SI sessions, and his Clicker questions and you should be good! Overall, a good professor!!

Professor Meyer is a solid lecturer for Chem111. Some of the topics aren't tested on until the final, which can hurt you if you don't seriously practice it. The lectures have iclicker points, but he usually gives the answers. The quizzes and midterms/final can be tough, but there's tons of practice resources for them, guaranteeing a solid grade.

Makes introductory gen-chem as interesting as one possibly could. The lectures are solid and the weekly quizzes/hw ensures competence on all the topics. The grading policy is fantastic- your worst test is thrown out and replaced by your final exam if you do better. The course covers a lot of material, so you will have to put in hard work for the A.

VERY test and quiz heavy class. Honestly, if you read the textbook and pay attention in class that was doing well on the tests and quizzes. Honestly the quizzes are easier than the dicussion question sometimes, so don't over study. I think Meyer is a great teacher and he cares about chemistry a lot. Also I think he likes CHEM 111 more than 105.

Meyer is clear and explains topics very well. His lectures are useful, and you can usually gather exactly what you will be tested on from them. You do need to put in a significant amount of work outside of class; his lectures provide you with the tools to do this.

Drew Meyer's CHEM 111 class is not for slackers, but he does give second chances though the test replacement policy. Test questions are well crafted and require a solid understanding about the concepts holistically (rather than merely plugging equations in). Lecture's are also fast paced, so to stay on track, pre-reading the unit is required.

CHEM 111 is a difficult chemistry class, especially if you do not already have a good understanding of chem. Lectures are required (attendance taken via clickers), but more time can be spent outside of class at Discussion and SI sessions, both of which are very helpful. The grading criteria is clear and typically ends up working in your favor.

He is such a nice guy, not much to be said about a class that is 500 students, lectures are always gonna be kinda hard to follow in a class so big. But he was good, discussion sections helped, go to tutoring if you need help. IDK. I made it out of here alive

Prof. Meyer is a very clear lecturer and the content is easy to understand if you put in work outside of class. SI sessions are a blessing, ATTEND THEM. ALEKS is annoying but doable. Overall great class and easy A if you stay on top of the content, attend class, and do lots of practice problems.

GO TO ALL SI SESSIONS!!! They prepare you well for the tests and are a great review of lectures. Drew's lectures are confusing--he spends half the class on one example and 2 sec on really important material. Weekly quizzes aren't terrible, just a short amount of time for questions that require thought. Tests are difficult but partial credit SAVES!!

Dr. Meyer is a GREAT professor. The tests are mainly based on the in-class lectures, so taking notes (use ECHO 360 to review!!) is a great way to prep. He posts a lot of practice problems for each unit and a previous exam for each test that are very helpful when studying. The i-Clicker points and ALEKS boost your grade so keep up with due dates!!

Didn't need textbook at all. SI sessions are very helpful. Check all discussion sheets, practice problems, and previous exams, he makes his own questions and it gets weird but with practice it's fine, grades with partial credit. Lectures are good (reviewing recordings helps) but gets behind schedule. Do ALEKS early. Go to class for iclicker points.

Attend class!!! Cant stress this enough. I didnt really use the textbook at all aside from a reference for concepts I struggled with in the class. The lectures are where the bulk of the material you will be tested on can be found. Dont be afraid to go to office hours and work on practice problems he posts on canvas there in addition to ALEKS.

He's a nice guy and his lectures are kind of boring, but overall the class wasn't bad for me. I know a lot of people that struggled though so could be because of my background knowledge of AP Chem. Tests are based on the lectures. DO NOT SKIP ALEKS, it is such an easy grade boost. Clicker points help a lot too.

The class is pretty fast and difficult, but the discussion sections, quizzes, and ALEKS are majorly helpful. I took the ALEKS for granted at first, but if you complete them, it doubles as a grade boost and a very helpful resource. Lectures can be a bit confusing, but there is usually a fast and easy way to clear up any questions

Rewatching class on Echo306 is really helpful

The grading is clear. Two biggest ones are tests and quizzes. For tests, the questions are similar to the practice exams he gives you (I remember one of the questions on a test was the exact same). For quizzes, most of the questions come from the previous week's worksheet. Practice these two and you should earn a A. He has a lot of grade boosters.

OOKKKKK. Professor Meyer gives incredible lectures that includes all the material you will need to know. He genuinely loves chemistry and will share that even in classes of 300+

Took CHEM 111 with Drew last semester and 106 this semester. 111 was def harder than the CHEM 105/106 sequence, but as long as you show up to lectures and study often you will be fine for all his classes. Tests are hard (makes you think and apply) rather than memorize. The guy may seem intimidating on the outside but at office hours he is nice.

He might seem condescending when answering questions, but he's actually a nice guy. Some may say that his lectures were too fast, but I liked them because of how concise they were (and I could always go back and rewatch via Echo360 if I missed something while taking notes).

A very solid professor for the intro chemistry classes. His lectures are very clean and concise, and there's never any ambiguity on what you need to learn. His exams can be challenging if you aren't good with time management, but if you can think fast you won't struggle too much.

Took Meyer for 105 and 106. Tests are challenging but graded fairly and paying attention in class and doing practice problems aids understanding. Clicker points and Aleks help with boosting grades and understanding the material. You can tell that he genuinely loves chemistry and teaching in his lectures. Has many office hours for help. An A is 88%.

Not a hard class at all. Didn't have to study much and easily did well. Drew Meyer is a great professor! Sure he might be a bit moody sometimes, but when you really get to know him you see how passionate he is about chemistry.

Very standard intro to chem course! Teaching style is lecture then lots of practice problems (good if u learn well from examples). Clicker questions can boost your grade so would definitely recommend attending class! And don't forget Aleks (grade booster)!

106 was wayyy easier than 105 but still moderately difficult classes. Tests are somewhat difficult but you should do well if you studied. Lot's of opportunities to get your grade up (ALEKS, Clicker Questions, and test replacement). SI's are top notch though and Drew does a great job selecting them. Go to SI sessions if you find yourself struggling

easy class. If do Aleks and show up to lectures you will be fine. Most kids i know get either an A or B

Solid professor. Tough class if you are new to chem or didn't take AP Chemistry, but doable if you work hard.

Chem111 is a really tough class. I came from a high school that has a solid chemistry program and could have waived out of the class using AP credit. Drew's exams really can identify whether you know the material well or not. Spent a lot of time studying. Exams are hard and I've heard it gets you prepared for the rigor of engineering classes

Decent at lecturing. Cool guy. Pro tip- carve out like 6 hours in Thanksgiving break to finish ALEKS(the funky homework you have to do), because otherwise it'll ruin the last few weeks of class for you. Oh, and there's an undergrad-run website about drew. Ask an upperclassman about it.

Professor Meyer is a caring person who actually cares that his students do well. The course consisted of three exams, one final and several opportunities to increase class score like clicker points and ALEKS. Although my chemistry background was not so good, I can safely say that I have gained a lot of knowledge and confidence from his class.

Drew Meyer is a solid lecturer and the class is pretty fair. I can see how the class can be very hard for some people, but just staying roughly a week ahead on ALEKS let me understand everything pretty well as it was taught. Exams are tight on time but generally are doable if you do the previous exams posted on canvas for practice

Dr. Meyer was a great lecturer but his tests are just so bad. There was never enough time for us to finish the tests, and the questions he usually asks depend on the very little detail that he introduces in lectures to ensure that you understand concepts... so, get ready to do deep reviews before every test!

The exams are a super time crunch where your ability to recognize and solve problems quickly is put to the test. Lectures introduce everything you would have to see on an exam or quiz however completing ALEKS homework was the best tool for success. CHEM 111 is definitely a homework-heavy course that shouldn't be completed in one sitting.

As a pre-med who's never taken chemistry before, Drew Meyer's class was a great first introduction to the subject. Almost everyone in his first-year classes are aiming for grad school/engineering, so yes, the standards are high. But he was understanding with our class and gave out extra credit all the time on exams. Awesome during office hours too.

Chem 111 is a controversial class, some people love it, some hate it. The course involves weekly 10 minute quizzes and 4 exams throughout the semester. First exam is always rough and sets the bar low. However, over the course you get better and better grades. Listen in lectures and do discussion section worksheet. Dr. Meyer is amazing and funny!!!

Overall a pretty good professor. Has a lot of practice problems within his lectures which definitely helped me learn the material. Tests can be hard mostly because of the time constraints (especially on the first exam) but doing lots of practice problems before them helps.

People are mad they don't know chem lol. Drew is a good lecturer and actually challenged his students (in a good way) to understand the material and actually learn. The first test can hit you like a bus if you don't study for it, but if you realize that you need to put in the effort, you will see that your grade reflects that. Good teacher.

Very good at teaching a lot in a short period of time. If you are not ready for that, then you may have trouble. He makes the class easier if he sees a lot of people are having trouble. He may give surprise extra credit or easier than usual exams sometimes. He wants people to succeed.

People hate on Drew Meyer for no reason. If you trust in his process and do the work, you will be successful in chem. He is an engaging lecturer and the tests can be difficult, but he is very generous with partial credit.

If you think Drew's class is hard wait until you get into ochem or pchem. Good luck future pre meds and engineering students

His lectures are informative and rely on the slides. He doesn't do very many examples in class so it is tougher to figure out exactly what he is getting at sometimes. Still a very knowledgeable and charismatic professor, especially for a class so large.

highly recommend

Meyer is passionate about teaching chem and you will learn a lot. Be ready for clicker questions and speeding through content, lectures move quickly. As a chem novice this class was very difficult but the partial credit and curving saved my grade. Be sure to go to SI sessions and try not to wait until the last minute to do ALEKS.

He is an amazing professor. When you reach out to him during office hour he is extremely helpful and friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. BEST PROFESSOR.

Lot of resources provided to prepare for the tests. recommend an iPad bc u can use guided notes. Dr. Meyer is caring and very patient during office hours. Highly recommend taking everything seriously (clicker points and quizzes add up!) such as discussion sections and SI's. It's a hard class, but you can succeed if you apply yourself.

Drew is actually the goat, the stuff he teaches and lectures on is the stuff that you see on the exam. If you take notes while half asleep you'd be able to do fine on his exams. As long as you do the ALEKS ahead of time, go topic by topic and do practice problems while utilizing office hours when necessary, the class is a cake walk.

Easy class as a person with AP chem credit. Finish ALEKS before the due date, take notes in class or at home after watching echo 360 recordings, study for exams a day or two before, and you're good to go.

Honestly not that bad. I took AP so I already knew most of the topics he was lecturing on so I did pretty good. Class averages on exams were a 70 which was kinda rough but if you feel confident with the material you'll be fine. He's a good professor and understands the content rly well

Drew Meyer is a wonderful professor but his class is challenging. Be on top of your work and study hard, this class requires you to put in effort.

Meyer's lectures were very good and not too boring. He also makes materials really available for his students when in comes to studying and there are many, many grade opportunities.

go to SI sessions before exams, complete practice problems on canvas, and take notes during class and you'll get an A. most people who put in effort do fine

Attend SI sessions and take notes during lectures. Readings did help and make sure that you are on top of ALEKS. As long as you put in the effort and time, you will succeed in this class. There are plenty of resources to help you out.

The active learnings are very helpful for getting extra credits but do not teach you the topic. The course is easy to understand by reading the textbook as his slides have a lot of information. Overall, the exams have only material taught in class and write a lot to get more points.

I think Drew is an excellent professor. He has a lot of Office hour slots (though I've never been). The logic of his class is very clear, and the difficulty of the course content is relaxing and easy. Getting an A is not a problem as long as you listen to Drew's lectures carefully and complete your assignments on time.

Professor Meyer is honestly a great lecturer. He makes students feel like he wants them to succeed and understand the topics in class. Although chem can be a difficult topic to get I would highly recommend the SI sessions since they helped me maintain an A the entire semester.

The tests are pretty unnecessarily difficult, but the overall course grade is padded pretty heavily by attendance points, quizzes, and by ALEKS. He provides a LOT of office hours, practice problems, and other resources, so you have all the tools you need to do well.

If you attend lecture and pay attention + study before tests and quizzes you will be fine. it was difficult to achieve an A but very attainable if you put in some effort.

If you attend lecture and pay attention + study before tests and quizzes you will be fine. it was difficult to achieve an A but very attainable if you put in some effort. ALEXS is a great tool for the tests.

Drew Meyer's lectures are actually pretty good and useful if you pay attention during class. While there is a lot of homework, it is very helpful, and so are the practice tests he posts. The SI instructors aren't great, but the practice they give is worthy of using.

Lectures were pretty good overall, but you really have to try to pay attention since they are not very interesting. The required aleks problems were very annoying to do. The discussion section worksheets/quizzes had some good practice on them. Tests were difficult, but the content was covered in lectures and SI sessions.

Thought Chem 105 was really hard and Chem 106 was very digestible. Probably because I was completely new to chem when I took 105. I find it very helpful to watch the recordings afterwards and really dissect what he says because it can go over your head the first time esp. with his monotone. ALEKS takes a lot of time. Exams are time crunches.

daddy drew is literally the godsend of case western reserve university. i love his grading policy and his teaching style. there is so much room to do well even if you perform poorly on exams, simply by going to class and trying.

he is so awesome. his lectures can be dry but theyre always helpful and the homework is very manageable. you just do aleks once a week and study for exams when they come. he is so silly and awesome and he genuinely wants to see everyone succeed. he personally holds office hours multiple times a week and is super accommodating. love you drew xoxo

He is an awesome guy and he I really do like his lectures. His tests are difficult but fair and the only thing I dislike is Aleks. You should be warned that during office hours, he is sometimes in a bad mood but I would recommend just coming back at a different time.

Drew is honestly a pretty good and fair tea

Prof. Meyer is a solid professor. His lectures can drag at times, but chemistry can be like that. I recommend working ahead and finishing the ALEKS over Thanksgiving break. Attend SI sessions as they are helpful. There is a lot of work for this class but it's required for engineering so you'll just have to deal with it. Go to class and recitation.

Good professor, funny guy, straightforward class. Show up to get clicker points and then study the material to grasp it fully. Tests are pretty straightforward.

Clearly passionate about what he teaches. Profs who are willing to round up are rare these days. Dr. Meyer checks all the boxes.

Class can be challenging especially if you're new to chemistry and the lectures are quite boring.Exams often have curveball questions that can be tricky , but your grade can be lifted by clicker points and aleks. DON'T SLEEP ON THAT STUFF! Professor is also kind enough to bump grades up to help students out.

Drew Meyer is a very respected professor. Although his class is very hard, he gives many great resources to succeed. Do not miss class, otherwise you will lose clicker points. Keep up with all the worksheets and extra practice he gives, and you should get a good grade. Do not slack or expect to get an easy grade.

Drew is a fair professor. His lectures are great, and he explains things well. If you go to see him outside of class, he can sometimes be in a really bad mood and can be condescending, but thats just how he is I think. The material itself is not that bad, and Drew does a good job of explaining difficult concepts. SIs were also great.S/o Germaine.

Drew Meyer is one of the best Chemistry professor. Freshmen please take his class. (not sarcastic)

Drew Meyer's CHEM111 is challenging, but with the right approach, you can succeed. Attend every class, complete the ALEKS assignments, and utilize unstuckstudy ai for extra practice. The lectures may be dry, but the content is essential - just stay engaged.

Drew Meyer is great. The class is lecture heavy but he keeps you engaged and explains the content well. My one complaint is that his exams are long so you don't have time to really do your best, but the content is exactly what we do in class and what is on the homework/past exams/active learnings. If you actually want to learn chem, TAKE HIM!

Cornerstone of the CWRU pre med first year experience

Oh Daddy Meyer. If you have a solid understanding of Chem from high school and can take exams quickly, ur chilling. Otherwise reconsider cos he doesn't rlly teach well and his exams are so fast paced 50% of the class doesn't get to the final page.

I personally found his lectures very useful and the way he conveyed the material was good. His exams were generally pretty easy coming from someone with 0 chem taken in highschool. If you do the practice problems he posts online, you're pretty much guaranteed a good score on exams and the quizzes. If you do bad in this class its kinda your fault.

Dr.Meyer provides many resources for his students to succeed. His weekly practice problem sessions and problems he posts on Canvas are very helpful. Exams are difficult but doable if you do many practice problems and understand each concept well. Make sure to start studying for exams well in advance.

Go to all of the SI sessions if you want to excel. If you go to his office hours, you will find that he's nice and helpful. The exams are difficult, so study the information on the slides well because you can't really prepare for the types of questions he's going to ask. Instead, know the content throughly so you will be prepared for any question.

his lectures are fast-paced but honestly good. study throughout the semester for each exam, cramming doesn't really work. go to SI sessions, the worksheets are really helpful. don't chatgpt aleks and actually do it. exam 1 was easy, exam 2 was a time crunch and he said so himself, exam 3 was not hard if u study. final was not hard either

Partial credit points will save your life. Exams are 50 mins but should be 70 or so, focus on learning how to do problems quickly, it will save you in this class. Definitely felt like a weed-out class for pre-meds but is possible. He has an exam replacement policy to replace one if you do better on final exam. you got this.

hard class. practice problem sheets often had inconsistencies with the key given, which was very annoying. lectures were good but practicing on ALEKS is what actually made me grasp what he was saying. do your ALEKS!!!!

He teaches you how to study. Accessing all the SIs, reading the textbook, and understanding lectures by going to office hours will help your chances of getting an A. Having a small chemistry background, with taking only honors chemistry in high school, I struggled early but I suggest going back and reading the textbook and attending SIs to be set.

Tests are very time based so work quickly. No homework besides ALEKS which sometimes doesn't align with the material being learned concurrently. ALEKS is easy but lecture is harder. Can get lost in lecture pretty easily. SI's save you. Highly recommend going to them.

Meyer is honestly amazing. He gets a lot of hate which I just don't understand. His lectures are super clear and he gives you many resources to understand whats going on. Exams for chem105 were rough, simply because they are lengthy, but they get better as you get used to it. Content on exams is always fair, just study and you'll be fine.

Much love, he's over hated. Study hard and go to SI sessions!!

Very lecture-heavy, do not skip them. Not impossible to get an A, but definitely have to fight for it (I lost the battle). Grading is decently generous, but no extra credit. Aleks sucks but its mandatory. Helpful inside and outside of class. he'll say very important things and not have them on the slides, but he does post his lectures online.

Meyer gets way too much hate here. he explains things really clearly so go to class. his exams are really fair content wise, but you'll be pressed for time so just prepare for that. an A isn't necessarily a given, but its super attainable if you study and do the work. you'll learn a lot of chem in his class.

Really good teacher, gives some hard curveballs on the exams. Also make sure you go to the SI sessions they are incredibly helpful and informative for the content on the exams.

can be hard to reach outside of class, but class itself isn't hard. 3 exams and a final but your grade also includes huge grade boosts like aleks and clicker questions which if you do and show up to class you should get a 100%. if you study you can get an A

Meyer was a great professor and lecturer. Tests were never really that hard. Key is to rewatch lectures (not everything is on the slides) and do some practice problems. He can be in a bad mood at office hours sometimes so just make sure you have organized and clear questions. Clicker questions and ALEKs are a nice safety net also (19%), rest exams

Prof. Meyer wants his students to do well in chemistry. A strong high school chemistry background helps, but it isn't needed if you put in the work and go to office hours--he's more helpful there. Test replacement with final can be beneficial to many, but I found the final to be the most challenging test by far!! Weekly quiz + ALEKS were ok imo.

Do literally all the SI sheets because sometimes the same questions appear on exams! Also, go to him for help! He's super helpful during office hours and overall a really nice dude, so I recommend.

i'm brainless and got an A in this course and an A on the final just by doing ALEKS and showing up to class. take drew.

I think Meyer is a great lecturer, he's straight and to the point. He def puts questions on his tests that aren't straightforward, but to be honest you study constantly in his class because of the weekly quizzes. The exams can feel really fast because he gives a lot of questions but only 50 minutes. A good background in AP Chem helps a lot.

Meyer knows what he's talking about and explains concepts well during lecture. some exam questions were a tricky but doable, u can def succeed if you practice (he has SO many resources for this + SI sheets)!! The weekly quizzes also force u to keep up with material. overall it's not hard to get an A in the class if u put in the work, i'd recommend!

Overall would recommend Meyer over other gen chem profs. Sometimes clear about topics, other times yaps too much so he overcomplicates it. Need to go to office hours to see correct test answers. Offers extra practice problems on Canvas but most of them aren't on the test. Sassy af sometimes. TLDR: pay attention, do SI sheets, sleep before exam.

There's a good reason Drew Meyer has a fan following, and it's because he's great at teaching introductory chemistry! He makes everything much more understandable. Textbook isn't class mandatory but definitely helps with reinforcement. Definitely do your ALEKS, and study the most recently taught content daily. Consistency is key in Drew's class!

He was a great lecturer, and you can learn everything just by watching lectures. The homework is really annoying but it is helpful. Tests are sorts difficult but thats just college. Need to think outside the box.

If you took AP Chem, this class is really easy save for one to two topics in the middle. Drew is a really chill and nice dude. exam 1 was easy, 2 was hard, 3 was easy and final was medium easy. You do have to try and filter out which info is worth remembering as he sometimes over complicates stuff

one of my favorite profs hands down. i never really liked chem, nor was i good at it, but dr. meyer explains concepts in such an understandable way. tests are very fair. he's hilarious and his personality really shines through in his lectures. loves engaging in conversations with his students and you can tell he wants us to succeed!

The lectures weren't the most excting, but Drew knows what he's on about I found them clear and useful in learning the content. Attendance, while not mandatory is quite important due to the iClicker questions that are graded. Also, make sure to do the graded ALEKS homework throughout the course. It's very useful in preparing for the final exam.

I never took AP Chem, so this course was hard for me. While his lectures are helpful, I found that I would have to study a lot more than the average person. Just do a lot of practice problems, time yourself, and you'll be okay. ALEKS was very helpful for weekly practice. The final was easy. Drew is helpful and chill, so go to his office hours!

Good professor, I recommend watching his videos before lecture. He won't do a lot of problems by hand to show you, so you must study a lot on your own. He is accessible outside of class though! I found his exams to be very fair and there was a lot of partial credit. Do the SI worksheets in a timely manner and as many Canvas problems as you can!

Prof. Meyer's lectures are understandable, it's nice that lectures are available online. Go to class for clicker questions and active learning. Definitely need to study but it is hard to do badly in the class. ALEKS is annoying but easy 100. He does zoom through the last few units so you need to teach yourself but otherwise not a hard class.
