Dr. Owens is incredibly easy to learn from. Previously difficult subjects are simply and clearly explained. And, he is never to busy to see a student.

he explains things very well, I enjoyed his class very much.

Owens is a great teacher. Very nice to students. Teaches exactly from his notes. You can miss and its easy to keep caught up.

he's willing to stay all night to help, as well as always willing to help. sticks to his notes, if you keep up you'll be fine. solid professor.

The best chemistry professor at the U. If you want to learn a good foundation for the rest of your classes, then make sure you get him. Knew how to explain things very well, and made the class challenging.

Dr. Owens truly cares about the success of his students. The material and tests are difficult, but not impossible. One can tell that he enjoys teaching.

Excellent.

By far the best chemistry prof at u of u.

VERY hard class, definatly not the class one would take to boost their GPA. If you want to learn general chemistry and you are willing to put in the time, Owens is the teacher for you. He cares a lot about his students and enjoys teaching a lot.

Very challenging and tough but all his notes really help and prepare u to take the next step in chem. for good. He's not definitely what u expect from old school, great sense of humor, interested in things other than chem. like sports and etc. great guy!

Probably the best professor at the U. ALWAYS willing to help out and answer questions and hold extra review sessions. Wants you to love chemistry as much as he does and understand it.

owens is amazing. no way did i think chemistry would be interesting until i started his class. he definitally knows what he's talking about and is a funny funny guy!

He is a good teacher but very sarcastic in a funny way, PS dont ever have a phone on during a test

although i barely passed owens' class, i appreciate all the time he spent helping me when i asked for it. i decided that if you put the time into the course, the material is presented well enough that you can recieve a fairly high grade.

freakin amazing teacher!!

probably the best prof i've ever had. his class is way tough, but he is always willing to help you. his lectures are amazing cause he actually teaches the material during them and he holds his own review sessions before tests (instead of having a TA do it

I had AP chem in Highschool so his class is easy, but Owens still does a great job at explaining chemistry. He is Freakin awesome

Not an easy course but he explains things really well... and then explains them again if you don't get it. Plus the guy's just cool.

Great teacher and nice to look at. Almost made me switch to chemistry. Includes a good amount of physics in his presentation of general chem.

owens is a great professor, gen chem 2, 1220, is a hard class but he is willing to help you out and make sure you understand it. he has an amazing attitude and is a great guy.

Owens is a great professor. Although the class is very hard (I took AP Chem in high school, and I struggle with it). He explains things very clearly and is always very friendly and willing to help in any way he can. Very fair dude.

Very funny and concise. Test questions are very fair; they could be far more difficult. He also provides practice tests and as long as you do all the exercises you should be golden.

Awesome teacher, makes it easy to understand chemistry, plus he makes class fun, is very willing to help outside of class, awesome!

Professor Owens works his ass off to make sure every one of his many, many students has the opportunity to do well in his class and learn Chemistry inside and out. One of the most awesome things about his class is the way he motivates his students.

Owens is one of those professors that actually cares about his students learning the material. Chemistry is tough, but he has a way of explaining it so that it can actually be understood! I thought the lectures were very helpful, I wouldn't skip them, he even gave extra credit once for being in class, so go! He is a good guy, great professor!

Great teacher. Lectures are very fun and interesting to go to. He loves this stuff, and you can tell it by the amount of prep he puts into the class. His tests are very tough, and require more prep than any other class, but at the end of the semester he finds a way to help out his students make up for the difficulty. Highly recommended teahcer.

VERY difficult class. Exams were next to impossible. Nice guy with a sense of humor.

He is a great Professor that wants his students to succeed in his class and in life. He is really helpful one on one.

Owens is probably the best chemistry teacher currently out there. He really wants you to understand the material and will actually go the extra mile with you one on one until you get it. You definetly have to work hard, but Owens will make it worth your while if you do.

Has been my favorite prof in college so far.

His lectures were very informative and his side comments were fun too. His exams are very challenging so just study hard and you'll do fine. He's very willing to answer questions for you also.

Best professor I have ever had. Work hard and you will learn chemistry very well with Owens. He is totally willing to help you out outside of class as well.

His lecture style was really easy to follow and he had lecture notes posted on the internet which proved usefull. The tests are very difficult and require a high level of comprehension. He's a great teacher but his class requires a lot of independant study. Do the practice problems and you should be fine!

Awesome professor, intimidating, but he really knows his stuff and he keeps his lectures interesting.

he is the best teacher of chemistry that i ever had!!!

Best Teacher I have ever had at the University of Utah. If you have to take a chem. class try your hardest to get into owens class. You won't regret it! He's not easy but he's interesting and he actually teaches you. Wants you to succeed not fail. Tis wonderful!!

His exams are hard but otherwise hes a good teacher

The best teacher I've had at the U. He's the kind of teacher who makes you a better student and person just from having taken his class. His dedication to what he does is really inspiring and encouraging. He's a really funny, really cool guy and he really inspired me to like chemistry a lot. I highly recomend taking his class.

Good guy, but his tests are ridiculously hard. I suggest going to his office hours to get to know him and he will help you out a TON.

Best lecturer that I have had. You will not fall asleep in his class. He does not use tricky multiple choice tests. Tests are hard but fair. Very hard class.

Owens is an excellent professor. I would say this class made me develop a love hate relationship with chemistry. Owens inspires me to learn it well so I study a lot for this class, but the tests will literally kick your *ss. So that is kind of discouraging. Still. And yes, yes he is very good looking.

Don't take Ernst! Owens is way better! His class is super hard, but totally worth it because you will walk out of it with a true knowledge of chemistry. Great lecturer, always interesting. You can't rely on the book or book exercises because he tests off his lectures, which are at a much higher level and of course harder coursework. Life-changing.

He is a good professor. I just had a rough time with him. He actually ended up writing us a letter telling us he is quiting and that someone else was going to finish the last three weeks of class. He ended up staying but it was hard to respect someone who is so intelligent and actually likes what he does to do something like that.

Great lecturer. Hard tests.

Greg's amazing! He's extremely intimidating, but he's really the nicest down to earth guy. His class inspired me to change my major to chemistry. His exams are hard but the knowledge you get from his class stays with you for years after. Well worth the challenge.

I love this class! Owens is always available to give help and his lectures are interesting and he teaches the material very clearly. He gives you everything you need to know for tests and doesn't make keeping a good grade impossible. He's one of my favorite teachers!

He's a lean, mean, chemistry machine. He can be arrogant at times, but he always tells you how it is with less BS on the side. Exams are hard, but all the Q's are from the book.His lectures are really good and he does demos quite often.If you wish to learn chemistry take it from Owens, none of the other professors invest their time for us like him.

This guy is a great teacher. He really knows his stuff. He uses a lot of different materials to teach including the clicker questions during lectures, online homework questions, the book, etc. Great professor. He doesn't make the class easy but isn't that the point? It's difficult enough to push you to truly learn the material. I recommend him.

This professor is very helpful and has a great class, it may not be the easiest class but there is no reason to fail or do poorly unless you do not even bother to try, attend and read and it is a great class!

Professor Owens is a great teacher. He is very willing to help his students pass the class and he makes it challenging enough that you actually have to study the material. In class clicker questions help to make sure you understand what he is saying in class and the homework solidifies it. Tests can be difficult, but they ARE to judge what you know

It really breaks my heart to see comments about him that are disappointingly rude. He's a professor that is truly dedicated to helping students learn, and in my opinion, if you try hard to learn, the good grade usually comes with it. If you don't get a desired grade, study harder. Nothings truly hard if you really try, right?

Owens is a GREAT chem teacher. Chem is a hard subject that actually requires studying. In response to some of the negative comments below, these individuals probably dont complete the homework assignments, attend class, or try at all. This class isn't an "easy A". Owens actually wants you to learn chemistry and is great at helping you get there.

Owens is department chair in CHEM, but I honestly think he takes teaching even more seriously than chemistry. The guy gives us every kind of support if we want to learn, and if class is pretty challenging, it's also fun! I've had very few teachers that are better at teaching and more dedicated to helping students succeed. This guy is an A teacher.

Contrary to some reviews, Dr. Owens is one of the most helpful professors I've had this year (im a freshman). I think the reason the ratings for this class are as low as they are is that a lot of students in this class are used to grades being handed to them, which is unrealistic in college. Besides, they can use the SI, homework, and office hours.

Amazing teacher! I took this class several years ago at a diff Univ and hated it. Dr. Owens made it fun. I went from dreadin chem to enjoying it. The class itself is hard (what Chem isnt?) but he's thorough and explains very well. He also makes class fun. He even took time out of his schedule to do a ?/ans session befor a test. Highly recommend

I am at the University of Utah for my second degree and of all the professors I have had at both Universities, Owens has cared most about the success of his students. There are some many resources available to students of the class to practice, ask questions, and just get extra help. Owens is a top notch professor.

Great Professor - inspiring and genuine. His classes are interesting and extremely helpful. His presentations definitely teach the concepts, allowing them to stay with you. His tests ARE challenging. I appreciate that students actually have to put forth effort to achieve a good grade. Grateful I took this course from him - enhances perspective.

Professor Owens is indeed one of the greatest professor in the University. He is really helpful towards students. When questions are asked, he would explain it briefly and he would always ask if we have any questions. He makes a lot of changes such as adding more practice problems,he stop class lecture just to ask students what he can do to improve

Owens is the perfect human being! He's so encouraging and supportive, not just about chemistry, but about life. There are no inane rules in this class (like having a textbook you don't use, not knowing when stuff is due, not knowing what's on the test, etc.) He's just so awesome he makes angels cry.

This guy is amazing. I've never had a professor care so much about his students. He was very helpful and has tons of tools and resources to help you learn. I would recommend him to anybody. And the demonstrations he does are very cool and give you a good understanding of what you are learning.

Pretty good guy, wants you to learn, but makes ridiculous tests ad tries to make them pretty difficult. Very smart, and sometimes show-offy about his intelligence. I thought he was good at explaining things simply though. Not very open minded to what other students think of his class, but he is pretty cool. I'd give him 8/10. We all have our flaws.

Owens gives you all the tools you need to pass. But for people that have to work full time and have other things on top of school, this class might not be ideal. You HAVE to devote a lot of time to pass. I didn't do as well as I would have liked because I work full time and probably didn't study as much as I should have. But he knows his chemistry.

This class was by far the most difficult class I have taken. However, I feel like I have learned SO much, and he really cared about everyone learning the material and doing their best. He was very clear about what was expected and taught us how to really learn. Tests were very challenging, but if you put in the work, you get a whole lot out of it.

This isn't that hard if you put in some effort. He goes over everything you need to know in class, and be sure to do the worksheets given in discussion and understand them, then you should easily do well in the class.

He is a super helpful teacher. A lot of people complain about how hard he is, but it is chemistry, and it just doesn't come to you, you do have to study and follow the 2-3 hours of studying for each credit hour. I was VERY impressed by his teaching style and how approachable he was. His tests were difficult but not out of reach.

Owens is one of the better professors I've had. He clearly covers the material, effectively uses class time, and openly offers assistance.

The tests are hard if you do not go to discussion, if you do go, the packets are pretty much exactly what will be on the test. I passed the class skipping all of the: discussions,homework problems and 1 of the tests. I do not understand how some people can say you should avoid him.

This professor is my hero. His class is hard, but he is a supportive and helpful teacher if you are willing to work. I am not the best at chemistry, but he thought I could handle things I didn't have faith in myself for and encouraged me to do my best. He recommended me to be a TA, and I appreciate him so much for believing in me!

He is an amazing teacher!! I suck at chemistry and his tests were the EASIEST THING ON THIS PLANET! People who struggled just never studied! My GPA in Highschool was a 2.8 PE student. And i got an A- in his class. And i never talked to the guy... I just did all the homework which is worth worth 70% of the grade.

Loved him. So hottttt! Apart from looks, he's very smart, and funny, and is very helpful to his students. Highly recommended, esp. if you like cute professors, lol. Be prepared to pay attention though!

Professors like Dr. Owens are one in a million. Before I took the class, I *dreaded* it. Within a week, however, I'd fallen in love with chemistry. Dr. Owens explains concepts clearly and simply. He's engaging, approachable, and has a great sense of humor. Plus, lectures almost always include some sort of (really interesting) demo!

I HATE chemistry. But Professor Owens made me love it! He is engaging, caring, funny, and one of the most interesting people I've ever met. If you do the work and focus on the lectures, the grade will come. It's also nice that the final can make up for all horrible grades! What's more is Owens is really nice to look at, which spices up the lecture.

Professor Owens knows a lot and is passionate about his teaching. He is a very fair about earning the grade you deserve. You definitely have to work for your grade, but he wants you to succeed and you will end up liking chemistry a lot more than you thought. I certainly never thought I could like Chemistry, but if anyone can do it, Dr. Owens can!

I was extremely impressed with Professor Owens. He spent time teaching us the material clearly, then made it applicable through demonstrations and videos. He was very fair and always provided histograms after tests. I would recommend him to anyone.

Best professor at the U! Tough? ...sure. But he's amazing!

Owens was such a great professor. I had never taken a chemistry class up until this point, but the professor was so great and did an excellent job at relating the topics we learned in class to everyday life. He is understanding and very helpful. I took it online and he did his lectures through videos. And he has a bit of a sense of humor

Owens is great. I had him for Gen Chem 2, and I took it online which was difficult, but so worth it. He had great video lectures, which had 1-10 questions embedded in them. One of my favorite things was that he broke down the scores and sent a weekly email telling you what the average was on each assignment. Would definitely recommend him.

Owens was amazing at helping me out when i was failing this class somehow i managed to pass. He has weekly homework, quizzes, and lecture videos that are graded exams are really hard you need to know your stuff however everyone who's not taken it with him regret it because other professor are much harder he actually wants you to pass and succeed.

I highly recommend his online chem 1210 class. Well organized online class, great lecture videos, not overbearing, and not hard to get an A as long as you do the work.

Professor Owens changed my perspective on chemistry! He was the best professor I've ever had, by far. He cares about his students and actually wants you to succeed. The class material is tough, but he gives so many resources, it makes it easier to succeed. I felt like he got to know each student, which is rare in an online class. He's the best!

I have loved the online Gen Chem 2 Course. I have still managed to learn from it, which I was worried about seeing as it was online. The lecture videos he does are great and some of them are even kind of funny. He includes questions to answer along the videos so that you know if you're understanding the material. I recommend the online course.

Greg Owens is brilliant, and has created a great online version of chem 1 and 2. These classes are brutal, but you're learning chemistry, so buck up buttercup. Any low rating on here is from an angry student that gave up and needed to blame somebody else.. period. I'll take what Owens taught me through the rest of my life, and that's sayin somethin

I took this class online, and although Chemistry is a hard subject for me, I felt like the lectures were very helpful. I suggest taking it online because then you can watch them whenever and replay the videos later if you need to. He was a great professor for a subject I hate.

Owens is a fantastic professor who knows what he's talking about and really gets the material across. He makes you work for your grade but you learn a lot by the end of the semester. Very clear in his expectations from the start. I highly recommend taking chemistry from him.

The online videos were helpful but to fully understand the material you really need to read the textbook. He sometimes glazes over topics in the lecture videos.

I expected to teach myself the material for this class, seeing as it was online. However, Owens's videos were extremely helpful and I found myself not even needing to use the textbook. His tests are very straightforward and his expectations are clear. I would HIGHLY recommend this course to anyone who is looking for a competent chemistry professor.

Dr Owens is by far the best professor I have had at the University of Utah, which should be saying something because I've never actually met him!! Chemistry is a hard subject but he prepares you well! The test are exactly like the homework problems and the homework problems are exactly like to example problems in the book! He's also hilarious!

Professor Owens is an amazing teacher and I would 10/10 take him again.I won't lie, it is a difficult class, and it was probably more difficult because I took it online, but Professor Owens is always willing to help if you message him. As long as you make sure you get the assignments done on time, and put effort in, he is more than fair with grades

In my experience, it's extremely difficult to find a likable chemist. Greg Owens is a rare exception. Chemistry 1210 is the hardest class I've ever taken, but Owens is the best chem professor I've ever had. His lectures are the best I've encountered in an online course, he's funny, accessible, and seems to genuinely cares about student success.

With the way that the class is structured as an online-only class, Professor Owens gives you all the tools you need to succeed, and the rest is up to you. You work for your grade, and he provides resources for additional help and support to make sure you can do your best.

Dr. Owens is a solid Chem professor, and I wish I had the chance to meet him in person. He is informative and will answer any questions you have quickly. The only problem is the online platform that he uses for homework, ALEKS, is infuriating, and will make you want to punch your computer more than once. Oh, and we never had exams or a final!

Owen is a professor who will make you work for it, but don't view that as a bad thing. He posts weekly videos (for the online class) and you have homework due weekly. The homework can be tedious because he uses a program called ALEKS which is super obnoxious. Make sure to ALWAYS watch the videos - quizzes are all based on the videos.

As someone who also took Owen's 1210 class, 1220 is much, much harder. Owens changed the way the online classes work, and its clear he and the department are still working out how to do it effectively. This class demands work, lots of work, and the knowledge checks don't always seem fair, but your grade may be better than in a normal class here.

Summer. Owens uses ALEKS, which is a lot of work and requires students to look into the explanation tab a lot. Combined with his video lectures, we're looking at a lot of time spent on this one class. The videos aren't super useful but are required for the quiz. However messing up a bit on exams seems to be fine if you put in the work all along.

Owens is uber intelligent & teaches at that level. I love his broad vocabulary and humor. His lecture videos are well-executed & helpful. His grading policy is unique & generous. As long as you can devote plenty of time, you'll do well. This course is challenging but prepares you well for 1210. You will grow as a student if you work hard.

NO TESTS! More like online quizzes which are exactly like the homework so if you do homework, then you'll ace the "tests". If you're taking this course online be aware of due dates because some homework assignments will creep up on you. The module quizzes are just like the lectures/videos so pay attention to those.

Professor Owens was pretty chill, as long as you can manage your time the class isn't that hard. A lot of people hate Aleks, but its not that bad if you can figure out the patterns you are golden, owens was always able to meet with me when i needed help and some of the ta's were great at helping to, best part was when he made the final optional!

Online chem 1210, although there were a ton of quizzes on random days he gives 3 tries, i never got less than 100% on a quiz, and its ALEKS heavy. Each exam builds on eachother so if you do better on the second or third (final) exam, it replaces your worse score(s). Im taking chem 1220 with him next semester!

Professor Owens outlook on learning chemistry is respectable. He is more focused on his students efforts towards learning the material, than he is on test grades. He lets you rework test questions missed for half credit. Just do the homework on time, and study for the test and you'll pass with a surprisingly good grade.

I love Aleks the course was amazing and I never imagined I'd be able to get such a good grade in a chemistry course! He makes it easy to understand and interesting to learn!

Owens seems to genuinely care about his students. He made the final optional and lets you make up missed exam questions for half credit. The course primarily uses ALEKS, which you'll end up spending around 6 hours a week on. The program is super frustrating at times though. Plan your time accordingly and you will do well. Best prof for gen chem.

Greg Owens is an outstanding professor and true educator. His passion for teaching is evident and he does all he can to set you up for success. It is uncommon to have a professor of this caliber more than once or twice in a college career. Take advantage, if you can. Brilliant guy. Chemistry is challenging, but taking Greg's course is worth it.

Professor Owens is great! The class is somewhat difficult if you have a hard time managing your time, but if you really utilize the materials he provides, you have a pretty good chance of doing well. There are only 3 tests (and curves them pretty generously) and a final, but he drops the lowest exam or makes the final optional. Super smart & funny!

Really great professor! Cares a lot about his students and their success. Beware of TOUGH tests... average always in 50-60%. He does curve and has a generous grading scale. Great class if youre not scared of tough tests!

Professor Owens is, so far, one of my best professors. He is very thorough in his correspondence with students and he makes online learning feel warmer than you'd expect. He is very understanding and you can tell he has a passion for what he does.

My favorite Professor of all time! He will work you hard and it is not an easy A, but if you care and put in actual effort he will notice you. Definitely have a zoom meeting with him because he is awesome to talk to and will really help you improve. Such a great guy! I took both Chem 1210 and 1220. Best decision ever made!

Professor Owens' online course is organized and flexible. The tests are more difficult than the homework and lecture problems, but the prerecorded lectures and material available give you the resources you need to do well. For a self-guided, online class I don't think I could have asked for much better.

Professor Owens is a great teacher. I took Chemistry 1210 and 1220 from him online over the last two semesters. He posts lecture videos on canvas that are packed with information. At times I didn't need to read the textbook and instead spent time watching the videos which saved time. Very caring professor who is always willing to work with you.

Prof. Owens taught very well during COVID-19 in Fall 2020. We used Pearson's Mastering Chemistry which really helped solidify concepts into my head. Exams are a bit rough, and there's a weekly quiz, but it really wasn't as bad of a class as I thought. The last time I took chemistry was 3 years ago and I still did amazing. I recommend him.

Super chill guy. Really uplifting during covid and cares about his students. Hes always there to help and is super clear and forward with what needs to be done. Tests are tricky if you dont study beforehand

My biggest complaint would be that the tests weren't always reflective of the homework from that week, but the TAs were more than happy to help if you were confused. When I took the class, there was homework due Mon/Wed/Fri and there was a weekly quiz. You had three attempts on the quiz and there was no final. Pretty easy class but it took effort.

Overall was a fine class, although I didn't interact with him very much as it was an online class. The class wasn't very difficult, just assignments and quizzes, which we had 3 attempts on. My only complaint is that we can't see the right answer if we got a question wrong, even though the questions changed. I emailed him and he was helpful though.

I didn't end with a great grade (B-) in 1210. HW is usually due Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays, but Owens gives you all the resources to understand everything. There are some really helpful lecture videos, and the book explains concepts well. I worked 40+ hours this sem., but if you have the time and dedication you can certainly pass with an A.

Prof Owens is a really good guy. His lectures are interesting and he explains things well. Hard to get a super good gauge because it was totally asynchronous but he is very willing to work with students. He restructured the whole curriculum before this semester and cares about students learning the material.

Owens seems to be a polarizing; it's because he pushes you to actually learn and work. If you don't want to do the work for the class yet still want to pass, he's not the professor for you. If that's you, he cares about what you learn more than you do, quite frankly. I was looking to gain knowledge, and Owens' $spent to info learned ratio is ideal

I enjoyed my semester with Professor Owens. He is a teacher that cares about the success of his students. Our course was completely online and Professor Owens prepared pre-recorded 10-20 minute lectures for each chapter. This format allowed me to pause and take notes and rewatch lectures to study for exams.

Professor Owens is great at teaching and helping you learn. His online classes are very helpful as he gives you access to so many resources. If you communicate and are clearly going all of the homework assignments and putting in the time, he is very accommodating and understanding of mental health as well. His classes help lay a great foundation.

Don't get me wrong, Chem II is hard. Chemistry in general is a hard subject that takes a lot of practice. Yes, he grades off of 3 tests, but his assignments count for 10% extra credit. Each assignment is similar to the questions he uses on his tests. If you do the assignments, watch the lectures, and practice, you'll do well.

Professor Owens is probably one of the highest quality professors I've ever had in an online course. The material you need more than anything for this class mostly comes from his lecture videos which are pretty good and actually show you how the chemistry applies to fields like medicine. Grade is based on 3 exams, so be wary of that.

I think Professor Owens is very honest and realistic. He is willing to help you and answer any questions you may have. When I took the class, your grade basically depended on 3 tests. Your homework was considered bonus credit(10%). He lays his expectation out clearly and is very transparent throughout the semester. Do not expect him to baby you.

I loved this class as someone who prefers to make their own structure. If you study with the practice quizzes and regular quizzes in a way to allows you to understand them, you should do well on the exams (which is what the final grade is based on). Dr. Owens even adjusted the grading scale to allow more people to get A's.

I enjoyed Owens class however he was super unprofessional outside of class when I tried to contact him. If I struggled with a homework question it took him over a day to respond everytime and multiple times he wouldn't answer the question fully while being very passive aggressive.

Professor Owens knows chemistry is hard.The workload and demanding material will be found in any GenChem class, Owens commitment to teaching students how to learn will not be. He cares. As evidenced by his data analyses of test scores and lecture viewership. He teaches students how to show up for their own goals. Truly one of a kind.

If you do the ALEKS and study the practice quizzes, you should be good. The class does require a lot of time, but if you stay on top of your work, it' pretty manageable.

The exams are worth 66% of your grade! But Professor Owens offers practice exams that have questions that are similar to the exam questions, so if you do those and you start early you'll be fine. He also offers a make-up exam that's cumulative. He was really kind and accommodating to me while I was sick, and responded to emails within 24 hrs.

After taking Chem 1 from Professor Owens I knew I needed to take Chem 2 from him. Best online course ever- I actually was engaged. He rooted for me, answered my emails quickly, and had a very clear, easy grading scheme. By far one of the best professors at the University and is respected throughout the chemistry department. He cares and it shows.

Greg Owens' Chemistry II course worked really well for me and I learned a ton. If you read the textbook, watch the videos, do the homework, and try the practice quizzes, you will learn a lot and be well-prepared for the tests. It is not one of those easy online classes where you can get away with doing the bare minimum, but that's a good thing!

Grade is mostly made up of tests, which are moderately challenging but not too bad if you do the review before hand. Mostly stays out of the way as an online professor, but responds quickly if you message. Material for this class can be very difficult if you don't stay on top or don't care to understand chemistry. I loved it, but I am a chem major.

The material is very hard, which doesn't give Professor Owens much to work with. He's fair, keeps his canvas organized, and has plenty of resources to study with. The homework is alot, but without it the tests would be impossible. I took his class online so I don't know much about in person, but the curriculum was fair if you work hard.

The exams are difficult but if you do what he tells you to do and put in the time necessary you can do well. He does an excellent job answering your questions so ask them! He will match the effort that you put in and genuinely cares about his students. He is an excellent teacher- he know his subject and is passionate about it.

At first, I thought Professor Owens came off as a little harsh. After seeing my ~50% scores on the first two exams, however, I realized that he was not exaggerating the amount of work required to succeed in this class. He provides all of the resources students need, but chemistry is difficult. Work hard, and he is more than willing to help you.

Honestly, Professor Greg isn't too bad. The first three exams are easy with proper studying, and the final is a bit challenging but still manageable.

Prof. Owens is a tough professor but he pushes you to exceed your potential. Chemistry is not easy, but he has a lot of resources to help you do well. It is on you to exert the time, effort, and to make sure you understand the concepts. It takes a LOT, but the resources are in front of you. I took two classes for him and he's great Good luck.

Professor Owens is an amazing online Chem professor. The class is entirely exam based, but if you watch the lectures and do the practice problems, the exams are identical. The video lectures are excellent and the class is well structured. Content is difficult, but following with the schedule and watching videos makes it not so bad!

Owens is a good professor who knows the material very well. Doing the Gen Chem 2 material online is difficult however, and the grade is purely on the exams. It's a double-edged sword. You don't have to do weekly homework or quizzes but if you fail the exams you're screwed. It's a lot of work, but all the videos and his textbook notes are helpful.

Professor Owens is great! He is very good at organizing canvas modules to help you stay on track with course content. You NEED to read the textbook and watch the videos if you want to pass this course. The course content is very difficult but Professor Owens teaches content very well. The practice tests are super similar to exams so practice those!

There is a lot of content and you are only graded on tests, so you have to study very hard to do well. Owens is a little standoffish and tough on students, however, he offers tons of good resources and seems to want his students to do well. Utilizing the practice quizzes and worksheets is essential when studying.

Professor Owens' class is no easy feat, but putting in the work pays off. The exams are challenging, but the video lectures and practice problems are super helpful. I found unstuckstudy ai great for extra chemistry study prep too.

Greg makes chemistry easy to learn if you complete all the material he has prepared. Greg is responsive, kind, straightforward, and also a great photographer lol. Put in the TIME and don't skip any of the material. He has laid it all out, nothing more and nothing less. His voice sounds the exact same as the guy from Blacktail Studios on Youtube

IF YOU ARE ON SCHEDULE, YOU ARE BEHIND! Do things ahead of time as often as possible so you can do the practice quizzes! He says don't take them more than once, but most of the questions on the real test are very similar, so take them until you can't stand them anymore. Also ask questions on the discussion board!

This was an extremely difficult class, but the prof made all the difference. Not only was he kind and willing to answer all of my questions, but he made sure that we had enough resources to understand the material. Many practice quizzes were available, all with answer keys. It takes a minute to figure out how you're going to study.

This class is challenging. If you are not good at self-motivating, I would not recommend it. Your grade is made up of 5 proctored exams, but he does have an easier grade scale compared to the other chem classes + you don't have to take the final. Make sure you take the time to study and use all of the materials given. He wants students to succeed.

Like any online class, you have to stay up with the material. If you fall behind you'll fall hard, no leniency on due dates. Tests are like any chemistry class, 20 questions (many multiple choice) which means one wrong answer is worth at least 4%. Know the material well and you'll survive, overall not a bad class at all.

Buckle up, guys, because tests are worth 68% of your grade! If you are highly self-motivated and not a procrastinator, online chemistry with Owens could be for you. Although the exams are worth most of the grade, he provides ample practice materials for each exam. Definitely utilize the practice exams!

He makes the exam with tough questions, however, he is truly give good grade for the final report!

I personally enjoyed this class. It definitely wasn't easy because of the amount of time you have to dedicate to the coursework daily, but the actual content wasn't too hard. This class is 4 units, but it feels like 6 (75% full time) because I took it over the summer. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I took it during fall/spring semester.

he is one of the best professors I had in the U, he provides so many study tools for you to be successful. but he has hard deadlines.

I wish he could teach all my classes. Very challenging. I was scared to take chemistry because I never thought I'd pass. Instead I got an “A.” Best teacher I've ever had.

Professor Owens was awesome! He makes it very clear what things you should understand for the exams and has set up his class so that if you understand the reading and assignments then you will be able to do well on his exams. If you are willing to put in the time for this class then you will be able to get a good grade!
