He is the best. he sort of intimidates you in the begining, by making you think he's strict and hard, however that's quite the contrary. Very detailed and organized. He knows his stuff. I took him for lab and lecture and got an A in both classes. but you must make time to study. He is also not bad to look at. very good looking.Highly recommended

Decent chemistry teacher. Doesn't use the book and tests have some book specific questions but other than that it's a pretty easy class as long as you study a little bit. Midterm is take home and the tests are decently easy as long as you at least read the book once. Would take again.

This professor sort of intimidates you in the beginning so that you think he is strict. (He is not!) However he is organized and full of knowledge. I took him for lab and got a "B" because I did not study like I should have for the midterm and final. YOU HAVE TO STUDY!!! Highly recommended :)

Bad experience. Just not a good teacher in general

The man is a honest and fair person if you study and try he will help you out. I have earned 50 in two exams and 90 in a take home and 70 in another and he has helped my grade greatly. Comming from a man with no interest in chemistry he made it just a little bit better.

Even though he is not a good teacher in the lecture class, his lab class is pretty fun! And the best thing is that you can cheat on his test, he never notices at all. Some test questions are the same as the book. Just do the experiments and HAVE FUN! Got A in the class :) yay!

He is just awesome! Great teacher, no accent and does only exams. He emails practice worksheets although challenging chapters, the book and these worksheets are EXTREMELY helpful. He also loves to teach and definitely gets into his lectures.

This is what a college level class should be like.If you are interested in majoring in a career related to any medical field and you ACTUALLY want to learn take him.He is extremely knowledgeable and does know how to explain even the most complicated topics,he is approachable,understandable and his English is impeccable. Highly recommended.

Super strict teacher ,he will make you know your stuff!! , if you really want to lern CHE , take him

PowerPoints that is not related to the test and the test are not easy which you think it would be since it seems like an easy class and a total of 6 tests and a group project worth a lot of points (200) don't recommend

He is the best professor I ever had,he knows how to explain very well,very intelligent and helpfull.

The tests were hard but had extra credit, so it isn't too difficult to get a decent grade.

If you are good at chemistry, you won't have problems to pass the class. He is prepared and explains the content very well. Tests are not that hard if you study.

Dr. Smith was my favorite professor in all my time of taking classes at MDC. He is great! He teaches the lesson clearly, answers every question with relevant examples, and makes sure every single student understands! If you really want to learn Chemistry take him!

Mr. Smith is a great professor and will definitely prepare you for CHM1045. Chemistry is not an easy subject but he gets right to the point. The homework he assigns will prepare you for the test. Drops the lowest test grade if you get an 85+ on the final. He's willing to help specially if you go during his office hours. Study and read the book.

Gregory Smith is a saint when it comes to chemistry. I have never understood chemistry before and was always intimidated. He changed that for me and might have made me want to change my major. The way he explains chemistry is the clearest way humanly possible. You do not get assigned homework or class work, you get 5 tests instead.

He gives homework for every other chapter, but helps out with it and gives plenty of time to complete it. Tests are all multiple choice and in most tests he gives out extra credit questions. He's always there for his students and wants them to pass. Professor Smith was a joy to have and I'm taking him again for CHM1026! :-)

Its a great professor, I never thought I liked Chemistry that much, he explains with patience and sympathy. If you hate Chemistry you end up loving it.

I love this professor. Explains great. He compares the lessons to real life situations/objects/ideas that you can understand and offers all his help, even his own tutoring. Chemistry is not an easy subject but he made it bearable. It is a tough subject, so pay attention and study and you'll do fine. I would deff take again and recommend to anyone.

He is an excellent professor he doesn't move forward in the class unless if everyone has understood the subject and he provides study guides for each chapter. In our class we are even behind of our schedule because he wanted to make sure we had an adequate amount of time to take the test.

I dont even know how i passed his class. I would cheat on his tests and still manage to get Ds. I had the class twice a week and would only go once a week and he did not care. I never studied for that class and still managed to pass with a B. He was super nice but at the same time i failed 1046 because of this.

Based on most of the reviews given here I decided to take him for the spring term, unless you already understand chemistry from taking it in high school, do not take him!! He gives 4 tests, they are 70% of your grade, then there's the final exam which is 25% of your grade and homework is 5% which he barely even gives. You must study to understand.

He's a good professor and really knows his stuff. He gives good examples. He tells you what will be on his tests. We has 3 tests, an unexpected take home exam, and a final. His tests have extra credit questions. He's also very helpful and caring.

He is a good person and knows a lot about chemistry. His test are tough but easy to pass if you study his reviews and lectures.

Smith hands down is the best chemistry professor, Im not going to lie I took 1025 with him and I got a C but for 1045 I got an A. You have to read the book, do the worksheets, and the book problems, you need to know how to study on your own. If you have questions go to his office hours don't sit around and complain. He prepares you for higher level

AMAZING PROFESSOR. YOU NEED TO WORK HARD TO PASS THE CLASS AND TO READ THE BOOK TO GET A GOOD GRADE. TALK TO HIM DURING OFFICE HOURS, HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING YOU NEED. DO THE HOMEWORK. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN CHEMISTRY TAKE HIM.

Pretty good teacher but make sure you take notes from the book as well cause he doesn't cover everything that will be on the test. Answers questions during class and after and makes sure everyone understands the material. Lets you know ahead of time when the test will be. Gives you practice worksheets.

In the beginning i hated the class because i was very confused, after the 3rd class i started asking questions, because his lectures are kind of bad he doesn't explain much. Lab guise its very fun if you like chemistry, but it is a lot of homework, and a research paper. But he has great office hours and is always willing to help.

Professor Smith is honestly one of the best professors I've had so far. Chemistry is NOT an easy subject but he's really good at explaining and he cares about his students a lot. He lectures good and answers all your questions and helps you out on the test. If he sees that you try in his class and you care he'll help you out.

He explains everything well and detailed, but it is up to you to study for the test, go to tutors, they will help you a lot with him

Best chemistry teacher I've ever had

Always ready to help and easy to understand.

Amazing lectures

His tests are hard but he's an amazing teacher so you'll understand the material and you'll easily pass.

Now this is what I call a real College Professor! Material is clearly explained. The work is challenging, but its up to the student to put in the work to read the book, study, and go to tutoring. Learning becomes "fun" because you're actually pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone, and it will pay off

Excellent teacher!

Exceptional professor, very clear and specific in what he wants you to know, gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. If you listen in class and do the worksheets his test are a walk in the park. And he is funny as hell.

Look, it's chemistry. If you came in not expecting lectures you're in the wrong field.. You can't expect stem to be as human oriented as more liberal degree classes, you have to put in the work and you have to study, if you failed it it's on your own. You wanna pass? Get the work done, ask questions, and be productive One of the best I've had

Although I would not take this professor again, he knows what he's talking about. He has powerpoints but your notes & textbook are what's gonna save you. Offers studyguides for each chapter being tested on, and because of how difficult his tests are they really do help you prepare if you don't do any independent studying.

Best professor ever! Amazing,caring and respectful.

Best Chemistry Teacher I've ever had!

He is a very knowledgeable professor and knows what he's talking about but this class is VERY hard, but Chem is heavy subject. Make sure you do every single extra credit opportunity he gives you will need it. This class is not impossible but you will need to invest a lot of time to succeed. Talk to him and build a relationship.

He is a good professor, if you have a Chemistry backround it will be easier for you, if you dont be ready to read a lot and go to tutoring always. Is a very dificult material and his test are super super hard. Doesnt give study guides and if he does half of it wont be on the exam. He is ver respectul and gives extra credit.

I took Smith for CHM 1025 and orgo 1. I got A's on both of these courses and you learn a lot from him. Smith helps you a lot outside of class and his tests are straightforward. You have to read the book in order to understand chemistry but his lectures are really solid.

Gregory Smith is a good professor, his lectures are pretty good, but the test are a little bit hard. Anyway I will take another class with him if a could.

Overall great professor that uses real life scenarios as a way to explain his lectures. His mechanism to explain things is like no other. Although he is tough on his tests but is willing to help if you see him in office hours.

Professor Smith is awesome! His tests are super hard and so is the content, but overall hes a great professor and super hilarious. He also gives a lot of extra credit so you better take advantage of that because youre definitely gonna need it, it helps you a lot ! Hes super nice and knows a lot.

Professor Smith is one of the best professors to learn Chemistry from. I took this class 10 years ago and had to retake it because my credits expired. I learned a lot without even taking any prerequisites as a refresher. You have to read your book and go to class to listen to his lectures. He takes his time to make sure you understand.

I LOVED THIS PROFESSOR!! He is so understanding, his class is very difficult because the material is hard but he works with students. Just study and take notes and you'll pass.

He gives you work sheets with the problems worked out step by step. Very useful when it came to studying. Accessible during office hours, do it so he can see you working hard. He makes lectures very clear but you must pay extra close attention to everything he says. It's chem 1 after all, it was very hard for me nonetheless.

Explains very well.

Dr. Smith gives amazing lectures. The best CHM professor I have ever had.

Only take him if you really want to learn chem. His test are hard because its the only way to really be good at chem. Also be interactive with him, he will be proud of you if you answer his questions during lecture.

lets just say I never lost so much hair from a class before. although he lectured, I had to study the book and hire a tutor. I regret not taking it the full semester because the 8 week course was too intense, started off easy then It got super hard. Don't expect to not study, or read or try for chemistry class. You can do it! I survived. :'-)

Dr. Gregory Smith is an amazing professor. Homework is optional and there are 4 unproctored exams and a final. He gives extra credit I love his lectures he explained very detailed and gives examples. He is very caring and always available.

Professor Smith is a really caring and smart guy, he knows his stuff and can explain to you anything if you have any problems. The class is pretty hard, there are 10 McGraw-Hill hw's, 4 non-proctored tests with a final, and 10 non-proctored McGraw-Hill quizzes. He did float around the idea of extra credit, but he never gave it. FYI: Get Chegg.

Great Professor explains well, is always making sure class understands topic, doesnt hesitate to give extra examples or help. Will help you with issues you email. Fair and doable homework and assignments. Test are also fair and not proctored.

THE SWEETEST MAN ALIVE!!!! I love this professor he is so nice and great at his jobs. he dedicates his time in making sure we understand what he is explaining and even makes us try to solve problems on our own. the only thing is that he does not answer his emails, so you would have to constantly spam him to answer. other than that, he is amazing :)

Content is easy but he really finds a way to make his online exams very difficult. They're not proctored, just really different from the easy examples he goes over in class. I would just take the class with someone else. It's mostly a math class. The only thing that got me an A was that I'm good at math but a lot of people struggled.

Your only grade comes from exams, which are not proctored. Yet, his exams are so difficult. Lecture-wise, he is a good professor. If you have any questions he will address them. Do not beg him for extra credit, because he won't give you extra credit. Overall good professor and is great at teaching. I do recommend his class if you want to learn chem

This is definitely one of the best professors I've had in college. All you do are experiments that are due every week and one midterm and final that isn't proctored. He is also very straight forward on how to do the experiments and is always walking around the lab to see if anyone needs help. Definitely recommend taking him.

This professor explains everything clearly. Don't hesitate to ask in class. The material you study in his pre-chemistry course is used in all future chemistry courses, including organic. He also provides PDFs with complete lecture information. Usually, I'd spend ages sorting textbooks for key info. He is supportive.
