Dr. Sevy is the best prof I have had at BYU! He was really interested in students who were willing to learn. I am not gonna lie, his tests were VERY difficult, but it was definately doable. Great class.

This class is not easy. Be prepared to devote many many hours a week doing difficult homework and reviewing the material. Best test prep for me was doing all of the odd problems in the chapters. It took a long time, but it helped a lot. The lectures are awesome though. He loves to pop balloons.

Dr Sevy is an excellent teacher. He presents the essential information in a concise way (for better or for worse) while still addressing applicable side notes. His daily quizes sometimes seemed easier if you hadn't read (because then you wouldn't second guess yourself). His tests were difficult and it takes an incredible amount of work to get an A.

Dr. Sevy's class is very doable if you stay on top of the homework, take notes in lecture and go over them, and go to his office hours and the TA sessions. That being said, it is still very difficult. His tests are designed to be "learning experiences" and take about 4 hours, so make sure you study.

He's a great teacher and he teaches the history along with the chemistry which is interesting. He will help you, but is sometimes impatient. If you go to his office, he lets you know that he's busy and doesn't have time, but he'll help. You can redo the missed portions of all tests (except the final) for 1/3 of the credit (i.e. 70% goes to 80%).

Excellent teacher

Great teacher. Cared about the students and was willing to meet with us during his office hours. TA help sessions were a life saver. For having such a hard class, he did great. He was nice and approachable. Plus, he loved to randomly explode things (hilarious) and had an interesting way of explaining things in real world terms.

Holy cow this class was hard!!! Don't take any other hard classes at the same time as this one.

Hard class, but good teacher who liked to blow up things. Explains things well, lots of work and TAs saved my grade. I recommend him

Dr. Sevy is a great professor. Unfortunately, this class will make you seriously evaluate your desire to be a Chemistry major. He is fair and wants to help you, but he also doesn't curve anything. There is a lot of homework and lots of TA time you will have to do. Only 8 students out of 92 got a full A, so take that as you will.

He really knows his stuff, but since he doesn't want to tell you exactly how to do something if you go to him with help, only trying to lead you to know how to do it, he can be difficult. I thought class was interesting, but thermodynamics and work killed me. iClicker quizzes are most every day, and you can rework exams for 1/3 the points back.

Dr. Sevy is awesome. He really cares about his students. He is very easy to talk to. You can ask him anyything. If you like explosions, you will enjoy his class. Best Chem 111 professor. The class is hard but it is a chemistry class so it is supposed to be hard. Just go to TAs for help with homework and exam reviews.

Chem 111 is a really hard class, but if you have to take it, take it from Sevy. He likes to derive all the equations which helps everything make way more sense. Plus he really loves explosions.

Chemistry is, by nature, a hard class. But Dr. Sevy made it one of my favorite classes to go to. There are iClicker quizzes pretty much every day, so be sure to attend, but overall, he makes sure to explain everything multiple times so everyone understands. Also, I quit trying to keep track of how balloons he blew up after one month. Awesome.

Dr. Sevy is definitely the best of the three Chem 111 teachers. We blew stuff up on a daily basis! He explained things in a clear manner, but it's still Chem 111. Probably one of the hardest freshmen classes offered. Be prepared to devote your life to this class! But it is well worth it. I looked forward to going to class every day!

I never wanted to miss his classes! He always had wonderful insights and comments to offer. He was extremely helpful, and very obviously cared for his students. He was a wonderful professor.

Dr/Bro Sevy has been my favorite religion professor at BYU so far. He cares for his students, is inspirational, and very willing to meet outside of class to continue talking with you about topics you're particularly interested in that came up in class. I just love him!

Professor Sevy is great and his class is too. I was surprised at how much work friends in other Book of Mormon classes had; the only assignments in this class are three short application papers. Tests are open-scripture but all questions are short answer and can be difficult. IF YOU TAKE THIS CLASS TAKE THOROUGH NOTES IN YOUR SCRIPTURES

Dr. Sevy tries very hard to help you understand material. His lectures are also engaging and easy to follow. If you see him in the halls he'll ask for your feedback on the class and how he can make it better. Stellar guy and stellar class.

I loved Brother Sevy! He addresses every student's questions and concerns about the material or gospel in an interesting and insightful way, and provides a really refreshing take on the scriptures. If he ever teaches another religion class, I would definitely take him again.

Easy class, take notes in your scriptures and you have an A. You do have to attend class though, there are easy clicker quizzes every class and he drops like the 5 lowest scores. Its an interesting class and would recommend it to anyone.

I though his lectures were amazing! I learned a ton about the Book of Mormon, even though it wasn't what I was expecting, as it wasn't that spiritual. Tests were definitely hard, make sure you take good notes in your Book of Mormon. The papers weren't hard to write, but he grades them based on if he likes the style, so make sure you talk to him.

10/10 would recommend. Lectures were always interesting. Be prepared to spend 1+ hours outside of class each day on homework.

Professor Sevy is a great chemistry professor. I had never taken chemistry before (even in high school ) but he explained it in a way that i was able to quickly catch on. Great choice of a professor for chemistry beginners. All of the assignments and tests are the same for all Chem 105 classes, so the only difference between classes is the teacher.

Dr Eric T Sevy might as well have invented Chemistry. He is the smartest chem professor and he is super funny. He makes people better by pushing them to their limits. I went into his office a few times and he was very helpful and made sure that I'm excelling in life. If you like learning and a dry sense of humor, take Eric Sevy's class.

Dr. Sevy was a great choice to take Chem 105 from for me. His lectures are very clear and definitely helped me understand the book material. I would suggest reading the assignments before class. Just make sure not to get behind on homework and you'll be fine.

He was a good professor overall, but the tests were really difficult and ultimately determine your final grade. He offers second chance grading with the final, but it was difficult, and brought my grade down 5%. He also talked about curving the whole semester and then never did curve.

I really enjoyed Dr. Sevy's class. His tests are hard, but they mirror the lecture and homework very well. If you do the work you should be fine.

If you can take 468 from Dr. Sevy, do it!!! You're going to learn a lot of the "partial truths" you've been told in classes leading up to this and get to learn what is actually going on. This also means the class is really difficult. The tests are hard, but they are close to the homework. Buy the solutions manual and you'll be okay!

Although the class was extremely hard, he gave a very generous curve at the end which I don't think a lot of people realize. He tries to give as many A's as possible. You can tell he cares.

Dr. Sevy is a fantastic professor. His class was challenging but I left the class with a solid understanding of the material. He really wants you to master the subject.

This was one of the most rewarding as well as one of the most difficult classes that I have taken. I definitely had to work hard but Sevy understands how difficult the course is and you will feel like he treated you fairly by the end. I highly recommend the course!

Two thumbs up! Sevy is a great professor and very personable in class. His final exam was brutal but it all worked out in the end.

Dr. Sevy gave great lectures, but we didnt always get through all material each lecture to complete the homework that was due the next recitation meeting. Attendance wasnt required for his class, but there are iClicker quizzes that you will miss each lecture and most of the points you get in recitation are just for being there so dont skip!

I think all the CHEM105 teachers use the same powerpoints, so no matter who you take, you'll get the same material. I found Dr. Sevy's explanations very clear and easy to follow, although sometimes when working a sample problem, he would rush through the work in the middle. He chooses good TAs, so you should be good in this class.

Dr. Sevy is a great teacher. He has a great sense of humor that gives a lot of flavor to an otherwise dry subject. The class has more work than any other class you've taken, but if you will be fine if you put the work in, do the readings, and go to lecture.(It's possible: I dropped out of AP Chem in HS halfway through bc I understood nothing!)

This is a hard class no matter who you take it from! Might be the most failed class at BYU. To get an average grade (B) you will need to work 16-20 hours, that is no exaggeration. 3 online assignments, 3 worksheets, 1 lab, 3 iclicker questions each week. The online, worksheets take at least 1-3 hours to complete. Get ready to work!! I learned a lot

This class was really difficult, but it's a 400-level chem class, so that was expected. Dr Sevy is an amazing professor and he teaches very clearly. You can tell that he's passionate about the subject and he made me more interested in it too. He's available outside of class and hired great TAs, so it was all okay. Highly recommend him!

Chem 105 is a brutal class, but Dr. Sevy is solid option to take it from. He is clear in lectures and explains concepts well. Don't depend on just his lectures though to get you through the class, outside practice is definitely needed!

I took Chem 105 from Dr. Sevy, and it was my hardest class. I typically did about 5.5-6 hours of homework per week. He is really good at explaining hard concepts and really tries to help students understand. I didn't really use the textbook because he explains things so well. If you put in the work, you can do well.

I really like Professor Sevy and thought that his lectures were very clear and made difficult topics understandable. He helped me enjoy chemistry a lot more than I thought I would. While the tests are hard, especially the final, the tests are the same for all Chem 105 classes as it is done by the department, so it's hard no matter the professor.

Professor Sevy is very smart and he knows what he is talking about. I wouldn't bother purchasing the textbook. I only used it for the first test. Review the slides and stay on top of the 3 assignments a day and you'll be fine. I got a tutor for extra help as well

I really liked Sevy. We had Hansen sub a couple days and it was awful. Sevy makes it easy to pay attention in class and is pretty good at teaching difficult concepts, and all the demonstrations are entertaining. Make sure you stay on top of things or it's easy to get behind. Tests are difficult, but if you reach out for help and study its fine.

I really liked Sevy's class. Definitely had to work for the grade. Started every lecture with an inspirational/spiritual thought. Helpful and kind during office hours. I felt like he really cares about his students but there's only so much he can do to help grades per chem department policy. He hires good TAs. Blew something up almost every class.

Chem 105 is hard no matter who you take it from but I thought Sevy was a great choice. He wants everyone to succeed. My only complaint is that sometimes he would get behind in lecture so the worksheets wouldn't match up w what we learned that day. Work hard, don't get behind, pray for a good TA and you will do just fine in this class!

I think the reason why Professor Sevy isn't rated higher is because chemistry is just hard. You have to do all the work and extra practice and have a good TA to do well. However, Professor Sevy gives great powerpoint lectures: he is great at explaining hard concepts and almost always makes something explode. Low key a pyromaniac but I loved it.

Everyone says that chem 105 is the hardest class you'll ever take and I DEFINITELY disagree. Sevy makes all of the homework completely doable if you stay on top of it. All of the homework is mostly participation based-except for SmartWork- which is totally doable as well. Sevy is super fun and was dedicated to helping us pass the tests. Great prof!

Doctor Sevy is one of the best professors I've ever had. Sure, Chem 105 is a hard class, that's not gonna change, but he gives you all the resources you need to succeed. Everything is very organized and laid out to help you. Very clear what he expects from you, and he obviously cares about the students.

Yes, this course is difficult and Dr. Sevy expects more of his students than most professors. Yes, his exams are difficult and expect you to apply what you've learned, but in my experience there was never anything on them that we hadn't been taught. Great course to prepare for the rigor of graduate/professional programs hard, but preparatory.

Dr. Sevy is a solid choice for Chem 105. Its a super hard class, but his no-frills teaching style was just what i needed to be able to understand the course. Read the book and pray for a good TA to help you through the concepts. The reviews before tests were a LIFESAVER!

Dr. Sevy is a great chemistry professor! There is usually one thing that gets blown up every lecture period and there is a ton of HW (written and online throughout the week). There are four tests in the course, but if you do the work, the material you learn is very interesting and exciting! DO NOT get behind. If you do, catch up quickly! Good luck!

Dr. Sevy is one of the most intelligent people I know. Sometimes it can be to a flaw but, I never questioned his passion and drive to help me learn the material. He can be a little brash at times he really does care. The thing that is awful about this class is the book, worst book I have ever had. I promise the tests are much better than Atkins.

He is a great professor if you need/want to take chemistry. Dr. Sevy starts off each of his classes with a prayer and often relates chemistry to the Gospel. He is good at explaining concepts and gave a generous curve after the final. Though I realized that STEM wasn't for me, I still appreciated Dr. Sevy and his teaching style.

I'm told they removed half the content in this class before I took it. They could remove half again and it would still be challenging! Hard to keep up, the lectures are so fast, covering multiple concepts in one lecture. Read the textbook, especially if you haven't done Chem yet. Use TAs and tutors. Dr. Sevy is wonderful, faithful, and fun. Pyro.

Prof Sevy was my one of my favorite professors! CHEM105 is a hard class, but Sevy does a good job explaining concepts. The tests are challenging but he does reviews before every exam. He exploded something almost every lecture. His class was hybrid when I took it because of COVID and he did a decent job balancing both virtual and in person class.

Toughest class I've taken at BYU, get ready to work hard. Dr. Sevy obviously loves chemistry and knows a ton so that helped a lot. Make sure to use your TA and the TA lab, get a good study group, review his lecture slides often, redo the problem sets before each test and you should be fine. DO NOT GET BEHIND. I would reccomend Dr. Sevy to anyone!

Chem 105 is a hard class no matter who you take it from, but Prof. Sevy is a pretty good choice. There's a lot of homework, but lectures are super helpful and we exploded something almost every class. He does a review before every test and gives a really generous curve at the end too.

Eric Sevy was a wonderful Professor. Not gonna lie his class had a workload to it, but I loved every minute of it. As long as you read, attend lecture, and do the Smartwork early enough to get feedback then you will be fine. He was very open to talk to and also loved explosions which was my favorite part ;).

He was a good professor, the class was SUPER hard. Lots of homework, and there's a TON of information in one lecture. If I had to take it again, I would definitely pay better attention in lecture, and find outside resources to get practice problems.

Dr. Sevy is a really awesome teacher! Chem 105 is well known for being very difficult, but Dr. Sevy's lectures were very entertaining and interesting. He assigns several homework assignments each week which seems overwhelming at first, but he believes that doing practice problems is the best way to prepare for the test, which is absolutely true.

Chem 105 is just a difficult class, but he gives a good amount of assignments to try and prepare you for the exams. He is very clear in his lectures and allows a few assignments to be dropped. Although the exams are difficult, those are the same under every professor. However, this professor gave really great assignments to help prepare.

A pretty good professor, but some of the more difficult concepts required more explanation than was given. Labs often weren't very helpful in understanding what was going on in class. Clearly passionate about what he teaches, but moves at a breakneck pace. He does regularly break up long lectures with demonstrations, usually involving fire.

Dr. Sevy is an amazing professor. He knows what he is talking about and has incredibly well organized lectures. If you go to the lectures and use the TA office hours/test reviews you will be able to do well in the class. This being said, it is still difficult as it is a Chem class and he doesn't pull punches when grading exams.

Dr. Sevy is a great guy. He curves his classes and is decently accessible outside of class. He uses a lot of PowerPoint and goes way too fast in lectures. I would recommend reading the text BEFORE class and also looking at the homework problems at the beginning of the week to make sure you get an explanation of how they are done.

Professor Sevy is a fantastic professor! Yes, the class is hard, but not impossible. He did a brilliant job explaining difficult concepts. It helps to do the reading beforehand and get a jump on the homework. Also, we had 83 explosions by the end of the year. He loves doing demos and is clearly very passionate about his job. Totally awesome class.

I loved taking Dr Sevy's class, but it was definitely a hard class. He teaches really well and tries really hard to make sure you understand the concepts he teaches, as long as you put in the work he's happy to work with you and help you learn, definitely don't take it for an easy A though.

Dr. Sevy is a passionate professor who loves his subject, but CHEM111 is a challenging course. Attend lectures, read the textbook, and use resources like Unstuck AI to succeed. The class is hard work, but worth it if you put in the effort.

One of the best professors I have ever had. It is by nature a difficult class, but he keeps it well organized, manageable, and interesting.

I did not take CHEM from Dr. Sevy, but I took UNIV 101 from him and he is amazing! He is so chill, fun and kind! He cares a lot, and you can tell how knowledgeable he is. He also is very passionate about the gospel and includes that in his lessons. I would definitely recommend taking this class from him.

Dr. Sevy is the best CHEM 111 teacher. He is funny and a good teacher, his lectures are very informative and pretty much cover everything you would need to know. The HW is generally harder than the tests, but the tests aren't very easy :) Sevy blows stuff up all the time, so that is fun too.

Chem 111 is a genuine college class. In order to really absorb the lectures, you have to do the reading before class to get a basic idea of the topic. The tests are hard, but the written homework is pretty good prep for it. Dr. Sevy is an amazing professor though, and he loves doing demos and blowing up stuff during class. So yeah, hard but doable.

Dr. Sevy is a great professor. Chem 111 is a very difficult class, but he does a good job helping students understand the material. You can tell he truly loves chemistry. You will definitely have to put in a lot of effort if you want a good grade in the class, but there's a lot of material available to help you study.
