The best professor I've had in school. Doesn't use powerpoints which allows the class to write examples down as he does and helps the class move at a nice pace. Learning comes easily in this class so try to take DR.R.

However, he takes the time and explains everything clearly and writes it all out on the board. It makes the tests and quizzes easy. You will get an A if you go to class.

Dr. R is a great professor who genuienly cares about his students (that show up to class). YOU MUST SHOW UP TO CLASS. If you've taken chemistry in high school his class will be a breeze, otherwise it's still an easy class. He really dumbs it down and goes slowly, and the worksheets he passes out, are similar/exactly the same as the quizzes.

Skip class? You won't pass.

Dr. R is kind & a quality lecturer; his lectures cover the breadth of the course content & his course relies almost exclusively on test and quiz grades. The majority of exam questions are about significant content covered in lecture, however, there are a fair amount of questions that seem to cover minutia that are hard to guess what might be tested
