Neth is one of those professors who looks like he couldn't care less about you. However, he's really great. I suggest bothering him during office hours and asking for help whenever you need it. He wants his students to succeed. Chem1127 is not easy, the lectures can be boring, but do your Knewtons I can't stress that enough. It's really helpful.

If you have Professor Neth, you're in good hands. Although he makes you work for a good grade, he will do anything he can to help you if you show you care. He's very helpful outside of class and will make sure you get the material. He's overall a very cool and nice professor and is one of the top professor's UCONN Stamford has to offer.

Professor Neth is one of my favorite professors at UConn Stamford! Do the Knewton assignments and practice with the material and you will do well in his class (I didnt need to use the textbook). He makes sure his students understand the material. His lectures are clear and his powerpoints are well made. Make sure you study for the exams!

Amazing professor. Chem is such a hard class but Dr. Neth made it easier to understand. He gives many chances to learn topics like in labs, homework, and practice problems during class. Dr. Neth made me actually start to like chem more than I ever did but if you don't put in the work and energy it will get hard.

Kept falling asleep because of the monotone lectures that would sporadically increase in intensity (waking me from my peaceful slumber), but I think that was because of COVID. Just do the work and you will be fine.

Dr. Neth made chemistry manageable for me. His lectures are slightly boring, but as long as you read the book, watch the lectures, complete the knewton assignments, and study for the quizzes, you will definitely be fine.

As long as you put in the work you'll manage. He always answers any questions. Chemistry is not very easy, but he's a solid teacher. Just make sure you stay on top of your work.

A great professor who tries to make a very complex subject as easy to understand as he can. Attendance isn't mandatory, but there are online 'participation' assignments that he goes over in-class which you can do outside of class without the professor's help. Take notes and do the homeworks on-time, and you'll be fine.

Professor Neth is a wonderful teacher, the subject is rather difficult so my intro-level chem class lost about 30% of its initial attendance. You will need to work but if you do you will pass. I once called N2O DiHydrogen Oxide instead of DiNitrogen Oxide on a test. He didn't get hung up on the small error, he circled the N and gave full credit.

Professor Neth is the picture perfect college science professor for students willing to work hard, without overloading oneself. He's understanding and incredibly helpful. He makes the course as easy as possible without reducing the material we need to learn. If you are taking a chem course, Neth is the move. Don't be fooled into taking someone else

AMAZING professor! Dr. Neth is a fantastic professor, his lectures are great and he is always available to students for extra help. Make sure to complete all the assigned work and come to lectures, and you will do well in the course. The lab component of this course is fun, but can be challenging if you don't know what you are doing.

Tbh, the chemistry depart. at UConn stamford sucks. These reviews are misleading. Dr. Neth only lectured all semester. Our class was lost and he knows that as to why he curves and gives a lot of partial credit on exams. If you study the knewton and put in a couple hours per week this class should be fine. Otherwise for average learners, stay away.

Dr. Neth is an amazing professor! He understands that chemistry is a really hard subject and tries his best to boost your grade with lots of homework and quizzes. I ended with a B+ which isn't bad. I promise that it's the course, not the professor.
