Absolutely horrid for CH 201. Lectures do not reflect the homework or tests. Lecture practice problems could be solved by a 10-yr-old, but hw and tests are harder.

I retook chem with Neyhart and I have to say he is ten million times better than the other professor i took and the other ones i have heard about. He has a huge curve on the final grade which makes a big difference coming from my other professor that gave no curve at all. The only minus is that he talks very slow at times and can be annoying.

Neyhart is a great professor. His notes are organized and clear, he breaks up lecture with demonstrations, and makes sure to answer any questions, even in the big lecture hall. There are webassigns due before every class which aren't bad if you follow the readings but you definitely have to study for the exams.

Neyhart is one of the best professors I've had. He is very good at explaining difficult concepts, he uses interactive clicker questions to see where students need help, and he looks kind of like Bill Nye. Tests 1&2 are easy but 3&4 get more difficult so don't sleep on those. Finishes every Friday class with "Go call your mother, she misses you."

Dr. Neyhart is by far the best chemistry professor you could possibly hope to have for CH101. The subject material is hard and there is a pre class assignment due before every class so you have to read a lot, but he definitely teaches you the material and gives you all the resources you need to do well. Not an easy A, but the best option. Take him!

Dr. Neyhart is, by far, the best science professor I've ever had. His lectures are interesting, funny, engaging and has students assist with in-class experiments.

While Neyhart is good at teaching the subject, he doesn't care much about the success of his students. The class average on most tests was at or below a 70, and he gave only one relatively minor curve throughout the course. He absolutely refuses to round grades even for students who have demonstrated excellence in the past. Take another teacher.

The professor was accessible during his office hours for questions.
