Best teacher in SU

If you've ever taken high school chemistry, you should be able to pass this class without ever showing up. Dr. French is a pretty cool guy. I had him his first semester teaching, and he did pretty well for a beginner. He understood how we feel and think as students, which was helpful.

He is a great teacher. He gives you time after class to ask any questions about the lecture and helps you out. He makes class a little more enjoyable because he likes to throw in a few jokes here and there. All in all, I would def take his class again.

Dr. French is the best professor I have had in my undergraduate experience thus far. He literally is super dedicated in wanting his students to succeed. One fails an exam, he makes sure you go to his office to go over the exam. If he does not explain things correctly in class or one simply does not understand, he will go over it after class.

He's the best! His lectures are a little fast, but if you go to class and do homework you should be able to get an A no problem. Make sure you go to recitations for extra credit and take the final because he drops your lowest exam grade if you do. He's so funny and tries to make chemistry fun. Really enjoyed his class and will be taking him for 107

Really caring professor. He really pushes you in the course but gives many opportunities for extra credit. GO TO RECITATION. You get extra credit for attendance to that as long as you take the quiz. I regret not going to this. His lectures are great and he really tries to get you to participate.

lectures are boring and too fast. never forget to do the MasterChem. Really really really fair grader. When you get your test back, bring it to office hours and he will always finds mistakes from the TAs, so you get points back. Office hours are key and I didn't realize until the end, he really cares about his students.

Everything you need is explained clearly in lecture, so you don't have to read the book. He dropped our lowest exam AND gave extra credit up to 10% on your lowest remaining exam if you go to recitation and pass the quizzes. Practice exams and Youtube videos help w/ learning too. I didn't have to take the final because I already had an A without it.

Although the textbook was required, I for one didn't use it at all for reference. Dr. French is a solid chemistry professor with a chill personality and tries his best to help his students. His lecture slides really helped and it's a somewhat fast-paced class. Try not to skip any lectures in order to keep up with the homework.

Honestly , for someone like me bad at chemistry math I still made it out with a B and I feel as though he really did help me with certain things I had trouble with. Im taking him again my second semester and its alot harder but Im oddly doing better than before. Go to lecture, do the hw, and study his slides. His outreach to students is amazing.

Dr. French is probably my favorite professor ever. He actually cares about his students and helps you when you don't understand. His lectures are easy to digest and his tests are fair. Homework due every Sunday and there are points you get by attending lectures. Recitation is optional (gives you extra test points). He posts lecture notes afterward.

Dr. French is amazing at making sure he is accessible outside of class and usually replies immediately to emails. Willing to help students any way he can. The class was hard at times because of the material itself but he always tried to explain things as easily as possible to help students understand. He's also funny. Definitely my favorite prof.

French is the best. Chem 2 is a lot harder than the first course, but he makes it possible to do well with lots of extra credit and exam review sessions. He answers emails very fast and cares a lot about his students and wants them to do well. I definitely would recommend him.

Dr. French is my favorite prof at SU. His expectations and syllabus were clear, his lectures went directly with his PowerPoints, and he took time outside of lectures to post Youtube solutions for any homework questions students found difficult. If you show up to his lectures, take notes, do the homework, and do his practice exams, you've got the A.

one of the best professors I have had. I don't know if it is because I took it over the summer, but he really tried hard to make sure that everybody understood the material and was really accessible after class

Really liked how his class was run- a lot of helpful information given out in lectures and no crazy textbook reading. Great especially if you want a good base of chemistry or if you never understood it. He's also a genuinely nice person that would help you with anything.

Probably one of the best teachers I had so far. He tries his best to make lectures entertaining and informative, which I appreciate. He cares about your grades so he gives a lot of opportunities outside of class for extra help and worksheets to help you out. He teaches complicated concepts in great detail to make sure you understand.

Lecture is not required but you should still go if you want to pass(you get EC for going!). French is a solid prof and would take again, he is funny (lots of memes). Chemistry is hard and you'll definitely have to work in this class, but his expectations are clear and he gives study guides! Exams are MC with 1-3 short answer questions.

I never took chemistry so this was difficult for me. Textbook is not used but homework every Sunday on MasteringChem (need eText). Posts PPTs, explains nicely but needs more examples during class-hard to figure out on HW. Recitation required weekly and lab (which you stand the entire time). He cared about his students though. Funny and uses memes.

He was a really great guy but would sometimes get frustrated if someone didn't understand anything. Attendance isn't mandatory considering he posts ALL his edited lecture slides on Blackboard.

Lectures well & gives the class examples to do and work through all together. Actually cares about students & even learns people's names in the big lecture hall which is impressive. He responds to emails quickly & is very easy to meet with outside of class time. Exactly the type of professor you want to have for something like chemistry.

Really nice professor and answers emails really quickly. His lectures may be a bit boring but definitely covers most of the materials. He's so nice that he gives a practice exam which looks very similar to the actual exam. Definitely, do tons of extra practice problems, they will help you on the test. He also dropped your lowest exam grade!!

I decided to take CHE116 with French again after had a wonderful semester with him for CHE106. This time, there's no more extra credits, no lowest exam grade dropping, and he makes attendance mandatory by giving us questions on TopHat. He also adds quizzes to recitation once in a while. Otherwise, he is still a pretty solid professor for chemistry.

Really cares about the success of his students as long as they show they care. Has office hour every day, provides very helpful study guides and practice exams, and will go over your exams in detail if you visit his office. It's a tough class but if you pay attention you should do fine. Seriously good guy and an 88% is an A- sooo

Dr. French is a very caring professor. He wants his students to do well, and shows that through how much time and effort he puts into meeting students outside of class, and being very responsive through emails. The content itself isn't easy, but if you put time in outside of lecture to study for the exams they are pretty self-explanatory.

Dr. French is an amazing professor! He explains everything with clarity and goes out of his way to give extra explanation on all topics. He is caring and supportive of his students through office hours and by setting up flexible appointments! In other words ... Dr. French G.O.A.T.

Dr. French is an amazing professor, I had him for CHE 106 and CHE 116. His lectures are very informative so you'll miss a lot if you aren't present for a majority of his lectures. Although he explains things very thoroughly to make sure his students understand, the exams are tough. You won't be able to get a good exam grade by just looking at notes

Professor French cares about his students' success and lectures on everything he will expect them to know for the exam. That being said, he by no means makes it an easy class. Doing the reading will definitely be to your advantage and doing the work you have to do outside of class with his guidance will ensure you succeed.

French is a great professor if you go to class and listen to him

Dr. French is a great professor. His recitations are mandatory, however, it really helps you understand the material. His lectures are very detailed and he does a good job explaining the material. I did not sit up front and enjoyed the class very much.

Total dilf, has the best CAKE in Syracuse Chemistry Dept. , 10/10 submit selfies and insta via tophat

This class was really difficult for me at the beginning of the semester. Things got better when I started going to the review session on Fridays and I started really participating and asking questions in class. French truly cares about his students and he respects when students apply themselves in lectures.

He is the best Chemistry Professor in Syracuse University.

Dr. French is literally the only reason I've been able to understand chemistry. If you're having trouble, attend office hours and the weekly review sessions. He's one of the most caring professors I've ever met and truly wants to make sure students are doing well in his class.

Hes an amazing teacher! Hes the best.

French's exams can be kind of hard, but other than that he is awesome. He is very helpful and always answers questions and has tons of office hours. There is a lot of homework, but it is helpful when learning the material. Love French so much.

He is the best professor I have ever met in my freshman year. Due to the COVID-19 this year, I took live courses online at home. When taking the exam, he took into account the different time zones of our classmates, so he did not take the exam at the same time. Instead, he took the test in the form of homework and gave it one day to complete. Nice!

The online Asynchronous class was a great course and the descriptions were easy to understand. Professor French makes everything easy to understand and is always willing to help if there are questions. I'd say the experience with the class was a 10/10!

He is enthusiastic when teaching and really wants his students to understand the material and be successful in his class. He is available outside of class and had review sessions before every quiz that were extremely helpful if you were struggling with a topic or two. He made the class fun while also teaching really well.

Dr French is a great professor. If you have any questions regarding lecture material, MAKE SURE YOU ATTEND OFFICE HRS!!!!! Exams are similar to practice exam. 4 individual exams, no final. Lots of hw on tophat but doable.

French is a really nice & funny guy. I'd easily take another class with him if I needed to. The class is definitely way harder than other 100 level classes I've taken at SU, but that's my main complaint. Tests are hard (tricky is a better word) so you have to know your stuff. Go to lectures even if they could be a drag

Dr. French is literally one of the best professors on this campus. He makes sure that his students are understanding the material. He is also very interactive with his students. Absolutely loved Dr. French.

Dr. French is one of my favorite professors. He had no problem opening up assignments I had missed, and he uses lots of visuals and examples. He uses TopHat for the chem homework and textbook and I liked it a lot. Not a very difficult class. I just didn't do my work so I ended with a bad grade. He has office hours even during the exam, when online.

Best Prof I've ever had!

Test were very hard but he was so accessible and a great vibe . Always available for help though. I wouldnt mind taking his classes again at all.

the best teacher

This professor is a GEM. He is the reason I passed chemistry. He is such an awesome guy who really tries to know you out of 600+ students, super accessible, gives you EVERY POSSIBLE resource to pass; you just have to do the work. Never known a professor to teach a weeder course and really want students to succeed. This class is HARD. VERY HARD.

Dr. French is really nice and honestly cares about his students. He makes himself very accessible outside of class and is clear about what he expects. His class isn't too hard to do well in if you show up and do all of the homework. Most fun prof I had this semester!

Love French. 10/10 absolute dad. As long as you pay attention during lecture you'll pass.

I took IB chemistry SL, so most material learnt I had prior knowledge. Overall I felt that French was a good professor, super helpful. I would recommend going to his review sessions before the exams. TAKE THE OPTIONAL FINAL! It can't hurt your grade, can only help it. I took it and found it way better than all the other exams I took.

French is a good professor and an even better guy. He genuinely cares about his students and is very understanding/accommodating. Attendance is not mandatory but you do get graded on it. This class is passable as long as you DO THE HOMEWORK. Take the time to do the reading questions and homework questions and you should be fine.

He's a good professor. He has many ways you can reach out for help. Clear and fair on class and grading requirements. Hes dedicated to helping the student understand course content. I recommend this professor for gen chem 1, and I will be taking gen chem 2 with this professor.

Jon French is the epitome of excellence. He is the most kind and charismatic teacher at SU in the chemistry department.

Arguably the best professor at SU.

I was so scared to take chem bc I was never good at it, or so I thought. French is an excellent professor, he makes sense in his lectures/dedicates SM extra time to his students. He's even really great with names. Use office hours as needed but I leave his lecture feeling confident. I wish he was teaching ORGO. Do the work/effort you will be fine!

I have never had a professor like Professor French, he is the best professor I have ever had in my life and he was the most accommodating as well, He values each of his students with the most utter respect and he keeps the class interactive and breaks everything down in different ways for every student. I wish he would teach Orgo!

If you see the opportunity to take chem with Dr. French, do it. Hands down the best professor and teacher I have ever had. Chemistry is a hard subject on its own and he really takes the time to make sure you understand the material. His lectures are interesting and engaging, and he really respects all of his students.

If you put in effort, you'll get a good grade and learn the material because Professor French gives his students so may extra opportunities and resources for help

This professor is amazing. Lectures are a little boring, but it's hard to make intro to chem any more interesting. But again, the best part is Dr. French. He genuinely cares about it his students, and as long as you talk to him, show up to a few office hours, or answer a question in class, he will remember you. He is an amazing first year professor

such a great professor, funny and detailed lectures are amazing

He is one of very few professors that I feel actually cares about his students.

He's a very good teacher, if you took AP Chem you'll do absolutely fine, if you didn't you'll have to work a little but nothing crazy. Very good teacher nice guy and understandable with missed assignments.

Dr. French is a great teacher who cares about his students. He does a great job explaining everything.

I was really nervous coming into CHE 106 as I needed this class to fill an arts and science requirement. But French is the best and easily took those nerves off my shoulders. Lectures are amazing, and I recommend going to every one. He's so passionate about his students, and I highly highly recommend taking chem with him.

he is the best

I loved being in Professor French's class. He gives good lectures and always tries to help his students to succeed. The work for the class isn't too bad and the homework is manageable. Overall, he's just a great guy and if you have the opportunity to be in his class, I would take it.

Prof French is amazing!! If you go to class and office hrs you'll do just fine. He really makes an effort to know and help his students. Weekly homework online, 4 exams, and an optional final to boost your grade. Lectures are important for participation points. I'm taking him again next semester!!

French is amazing! He explains everything in detail in his lectures, and is really caring about his students. There is a good amount of homework, but it is helpful for the exams. French goes above and beyond in making himself available outside of class to help students on homework and practice exams. Definitely take a class with French if you can!

French is a very good teacher, however the class is very hard. The practice exams aren't great representations of the actual exams, make sure you go off of the study guide instead. He is super accessible after class. The textbook is super complicated, so make sure you go to class as he explains the topics way better. Tophat = paying to submit HW.

He is amazing. His lectures can be a little bit boring but he is overall a good professor. And the best thing is that he wants his students to ask him questions. He also has a lot of office hours which is very helpful. Attendance is "mandatory" but he only submits a question poll on Top Hat.

10/10

Really good teacher. He makes his lectures engaging and fun. He really does care about the students. He and his TAs have a lot of office hours. He truly appreciates questions in class. Above all, he is a good person.

Dr. French is a phenomenal professor who genuinely cares about his students' success and potential future paths. Dr. French considers student feedback, ensuring that there are resources in place for support when necessary. Whether it was late-night Sunday office hours or carefully drafted practice exams, Dr. French truly went the extra mile.

Professor French is the best professor you would ever want to have for chem. he is caring and always there for his students. when a concept is confusing he makes it simpler. i recommend going to his office hours always and ask questions because some people have the same questions but are afraid to ask. If you want to have A's in gen Chem course.

he's one of the best professors in the stem department, not only is he a phenomenal teacher but he's incredibly understanding and actually wants his students to succeed. amazing course structure as well!!

He literally is the only chem professor I think could ever get me to understand orgo, he is so easy to talk to and wants to get to know students, I would 100% take him again

Very easy to do well in class. Prof encourages questions in class and has office hours, problem solving sessions about 4 times a week. If you are struggling, GO! Extra reading assignments were annoying, but not difficult. 4 tests and a final for the year, lowest grade dropped. If anyone does bad, it is the student's fault, Dr. French is amazing

I have had Dr. French for both CHE106 and CHE116. Presentations are clear with corresponding handouts. Tests are based on previous processes he goes over in depth. He listens to feedback and adjusts teaching techniques because HE CARES about your ability to succeed -- even beyond general chemistry. I strongly recommend taking these courses.

Professor French really cares about the success of his students and their understanding of the material. He is available multiple times a week outside of class so if you are having trouble then it is really easy to get help.

Amazing. I never understood chemistry until Dr. French. He's extremely smart and organized which I value highly. His lectures do feel long sometimes, but he always finds ways to keep interact with students and make it interesting. Always make sure to do your homeworks and if you have any questions never hesitate to ask him. He's the best.

Dr. French is amazing at teaching Chemistry in ways that students will understand it.

such a good teacher

Despite my interest in the science field, I always struggled with Chemistry until Jon French! He teaches in a clear and direct manner in which you are able to understand your assignments and labs! He's my favorite teacher and I could not recommend him enough

Well-structured lectures and a very organized professor. He's easy to reach outside class for extra help and posts YouTube video solutions to homework problems. He'll remind you of upcoming homework due and give breaks during lectures. When he does problems in class he writes out every step. Exams are multiple-choice. He's nice and understanding.

French is the BEST professor i have ever had at SU.

Not the easiest class and lots of memorization, overall fun teacher with a good sense of humor.

One of the coolest prof at 'cuse. Chem is hard but he tries to make it as easy as possible for his students. Offers a lot of help and is flexible. Attendance isn't required, but there are questions in the lecture worth 5% of total grade. If he wasn't teaching chem he wouldn't have any 1/5 ratings. Best professor you can have for the course.

Dr. French is super nice, he really cares about you as a student and really wants you to learn. The only bad part about the class is that we had to pay for TopHat (A program to do our homework), but using it to do the homework was kind of intuitive. the grading and exams are clear and Dr. French is a really nice professor.

French made chemistry as easy as possible to learn and provided lots of resources to help. Lectures are extremely helpful so make sure you go! He has review sessions for homework and practice exams that he also posts on his youtube that were really great for help.

Made sure everyone understood before continuing the lectures. Was always available and hosted online sessions before tests.

Jon French was a pretty good professor, he seems to care about his students even though he has lectures of 200+ students. He hosts zooms the day before exams to help out his students to make sure they understand the material. Attendance isn't necessarily mandatory but he does post questions during class that sometimes count toward your grade.

He is an amazing professor but the class is difficult. His exams are extremely difficult as well, but if you must take this course, he is definitely the move!

Good professor, but the class is definitely difficult. If you're not naturally good at chemistry/math be prepared to spend a lot of time studying! He is almost always available outside class - hosts zooms before exams, multiple days of office hours, problem sessions, and responds to emails. Definitely a "get what you give" class. Drops lowest exam!

Dr. French was a great professor. He was very clear with what he expected of us on exams and the syllabus is very accurate to what the course requires of you. There is homework every week, but he offers multiple attempts on questions and it is helpful to the learning and understanding required for the exams. Would definitely recommend his course!

Personally, I found French's teaching very structured and easy to follow. He always made sure he answered all questions in the audience and made sure everyone understood the material before moving on.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. French. Chemistry can be a tough subject, but he gives you all the tools you will need, and he truly would do anything to help his students. In my opinion, he is the best professor at SU.

If he needed neck I would provide, he's actually so thoughtful and cares so much about the future of his students. Very few professors can live up to his standard.

He is very accessible outside of the classroom. I sent many late-night emails to which he provided great feedback and help. He cares about his students and gives many opportunities for his students to get help if their grade is failing, you just have to be the one to reach out. By far my favorite professor.

Chem 2 is hard but I'm so grateful to have French for it. He's the best. Not a ton of homework, but it can be difficult material, so make sure to study a lot.

Very tough class but great professor. Dr. French takes his time teaching hard material. For those who are outside Chem/Bio, this class is not good for your GPA but a passable class if it is required.

Dr. French was definitely a good gen chem professor. I will say, though, that although he is very accessible outside of class, you really have to do a LOT of outside work in order to do very well or get an A. Tests make up 40% of the class grade which helps, but they are 25 multiple choice that are worth 4 points each so easy to do poorly.

Love this guy he's very smart and patient he sometimes has an attitude but you can tell it's not serious he's just a sassy guy lol. Also very reachable outside his class and always responds to emails and discord questions fast.

Probably the best professor I've had a SU. Chemistry is a tough subject but his lectures are great and he has so many office hours that you can take advantage of. Literally ever Sunday he has zoom office hours where he'll do any homework problem you're having trouble with. He's also very funny and a overall great guy.

Probably the best professor I've had a SU. Very funny and just an overall great guy. There's some difficult content in the courses but his lectures are great and he has so many office hours that you can take advantage of. Literally every Sunday he has zoom office hours where he'll do any homework problem you're having trouble with.

French is great professor and explains concepts coherently but runs through lectures fast if no one is there asking questions about content. Lectures are recorded, you can go back + relearn material. Tests were hard but I'm not a great test taker. Overall, good professor, provides ways for you to get grade back up through assignments/extra credit.

Amazing teacher who cares about every student. Office hours four times a week, even on Sunday night, where he will do the homework for you, and post a YouTube video later of that same problem. Can easily get an A in the class if average a 75 on all exams. Encourages students to ask questions in class, and the ones that do get A's. Bill's fan

Super resourceful and helpful, keeps class interesting yet easy to focus and learn. Attendance is graded (5%), but class can be attended online. He is also very accessible, office hours multiple times and sunday review sessions mostly every week in which he goes over the weekly homework. Take him if you can over any other proffessor.

French is an AMAZING professor, he will give you everything you need before a test. If it doesn't work out for you, it couldn't have been his fault. He will ensure that you do well and cares about his students. He doesn't just read off a screen and simplifies difficult material and has office hours late, which he doesn't have to do, but still does.

Fench ensures that all students understand the material. His teaching style and his availability outside of typical hours really demonstrate this. However those who have a limited scientific background may find the class challenging.

Professor French is a fantastic teacher. Chemistry is challenging, but his clear lectures, office hours, and use of helpful tools like unstuckstudy make it manageable. Definitely take this class if you're willing to put in the work.

He takes the time to answer questions from homework in class. Holds multiple review sessions a week (for HW and Exams). Would have him teach me every class if I could! Genuinely my favorite professor of all time

Professor French does everything in his power to make chemistry accessible. He's always available via email, office hours, or class. I felt like his lectures were very engaging and enjoyable and it's important you go to them, otherwise, I think it can be difficult to understand the content. He's also very understanding. All around great professor!!

I liked his lectures because they were easy to understand the material. He was very inspiring and made me want to take his class again.

French is a great teacher who does everything in his power to help his students succeed. However, some concepts I only understood because I learned it in high school as he explained it in a weird/confusing way. He posts recordings of lectures on Blackboard which is extremely helpful for studying or if you missed class. Tests are fair if you study

AMAZING. If you do all the work given you will succeed in the class. Very understanding and nice. He is funny and makes the class engaging. If you have to take chem choose FRENCH!!!

Explains things clear and simple. Lots of homework. A great and funny professor who is great at chem.

French really cares about his students and will go out of his way to help anyone who asks for it. He was able to make a challenging course simple and has a great grading scale that allows you to still achieve high grades if you get C averages on exams. He encourages participation, and posts lectures so you can review whatever you missed in class.

This was French's first-time teaching Med Chem. I thought he did a really good job gathering the material for the course, taking into account what everyone wanted to learn and getting feedback from the class. The requirements for the course were a few problem sets, 3 exams, and a final project none of which were graded very harshly.

LOVE JON FRENCH. Seriously, my favorite prof here he's just so amazing. Teaches class super well and in a way that I retain the info and understand it. The examples he gives are great practice, and he's just a super great teacher. He is also soooo hilarious in a relatable way, I'm always texting my friends his jokes. Def take both classes with him.

The best Gen Chem professor at Syracuse. Truly cares about his students and makes himself available outside of class for help very often. The Sunday 8:30-9:30 office hours are really underappreciated.

Dr. French has definitely got to be one of the most organized and dedicated professors. He holds many office hours and solves problems out for students that are struggling. Although, his tests can sometimes be hard, he is a caring person that tries to get to know his students.

LOVE FRENCHIE POO. One of the best profs you'll ever have. He is dedicated and passionate about his students' success in the class. Def use his office hours JOIN THE SUNDAY ZOOM tests can be a bit tricky but if you used all of his resources you'd be good to go. Go to the lectures bro is so sassy and funny and he will make your time there worth it.

This guy is literally BEGGING you not to fail omg he gives so many resources, has so much time for office hours, has a literal team of TA's behind him helping like this guy wants you to pass take him if you're able he makes chem so accessible and doable.

I had Dr. French for chem 106 & 116 and I'd say he's a pretty decent professor. He gives us a whole lot of resources to succeed, gives good feedback, and will help you as long as you ask for the help. Lectures weren't my fav, but if you pay attention, you'll 100% do well in his class. PLZ TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OFFICE HOURS! THEY'RE SO SO HELPFUL!

Love Dr. French, its chemistry, so you're foolish if you expect it to be easy, but he's a kind and fair instructor who wants you to succeed. There's a decent amount of homework, but its all reasonable and helps you with the content, as well as helping pad exam grades unlike many science courses. Solid guy and the best chem prof I've had so far.

Dr. French is such a great professor, I feel like you'd have to work hard to get a bad grade in his class.

Dr. French is an amazing professor! He really goes over everything in his lectures and does a lot of practice problems. He also offers a lot of office hours, and his exams are very reflective of what is gone over in class. Dr. F

Dr. French is a really funny professor, but the homework doesn't match what we learn in class so it makes it almost impossible and super difficult to complete. This just increases the time it takes to complete it fully... His lectures are also kinda boring but he means well. Tests are multiple choice.

-Really good teacher and sweet guy -Long lectures -Hard class and homework -SO MUCH HOMEWORK

Very sweet guy and a very good teacher as well! I took AP chem last year and struggled a lot but this class is 10 times easier. As long as you pay attention and do the HW he assigns, it doesn't require too much outside effort to do well on the tests

Dr French is literally the GOAT. he goes out of his way to help you.

Dr. French is kind and positive, even with many sections which is prob why he is so well liked. Chem isn't easy, but he explains things well. Lecture often doesn't match the homework, and homework only sometimes reflects the exams. Take notes, engage, and use practice exams. There are four exams and an optional final. Office hours are also helpful.

Jon French is the best chem professor! He makes himself available to students if you need help by hosting a lot of practice review sessions and office hours. He really cares about his students and wants to see them succeed. His exams are exactly the things he teaches in lecture. No quizzes either!

Dr. French was the best professor I had during my first semester at Syracuse University. He was always ready to answer any questions I had and wanted to see everyone succeed. He provided students with so many opportunities to do well including office hours and zoom review sessions. Dr. French is an amazing person and an amazing professor.

Dr. French is a good teacher, and his lectures are generally informative if not a bit repetitive. The online homework taught me the content the best, but Dr. French is an amazing resource and is always available outside of class. The exams are not too difficult and make up a smaller portion of your grade.

Dr. French definitely made me like Chemistry a LOT more than before! Of course, chem isn't the easiest thing in the world, it's still hard to not pass his class. He is very accessible, whether you're asking questions in class or going to office hours. He does a great job on providing resources for extra help, let alone clarifying anything in person

French is an amazing professor, who teaches very well, so you understand the material. Homework is not overbearing and the tests are very fair

Jon French is a good professor and I really learned a lot in his classes. Attendance is like 3% and based on poll everywhere questions so it barely counts, he replies to emails pretty quickly and is accessible outside of class. His exams were kinda hard but mainly based on the homework and stuff he talks about in class.

Workload wasn't bad and exam preparation is top notch, with helpful study guides and practice exams. Dr. French is really accessible, hosting tons of office hours including some "after hours" over Zoom. Lectures were a drag sometimes, attendance is based on participation in practice problems on PollEV during lecture.

Dr. French is a great guy but only an ok teacher. If you took AP chem in highschool you will do very well in this class. If you didnt it will certainly be harder but you can definitely get an A.

Prof. French is the GOAT but you already know that

Oh where do I begin with Dr. French. His lectures are pretty easy to follow if you pay attention. If you don't pay attention you will get lost. However he is accessible outside of class with his office hours and a very helpful teacher. If you ask a dumb question, he will carefully answer it for you. All around a great guy and would highly recommend

He is the best professor I've had. His lectures are worth it to attend if for nothing else than engaging with him. There is a lot of homework but it has weight to your overall grade so it balances out exam scores.

Amazing educator and person. He prepares you very well for the exams with study guides, review sessions and homework. Office hours are very helpful too, and he is easily accessible outside class time. Very funny, and truly cares.

Dr. French is the best professor I've had so far. If you have taken AP Chemistry, this class is a breeze and attendance is essentially optional. However, the course is still very manageable even if you haven't taken it before. The grading criteria is student-friendly and offers plenty of leeway if you happen to struggle on an exam. DO THE ALEKS!!!!

By far my favorite professor, he's a great guy. Very accessible outside of class, and open to accommodating students' needs. He gives plenty of review material and resources to use to prepare for exams. Make sure to do the ALEKS assignments and participate in Poll Everywhere, these are such easy points.

The best chem professor I've ever had. His lectures are clear, and he explains concepts really well. I struggled in AP Chemistry, and this course is similar, but French provides tons of materials/review sessions that make it much more manageable. He posts lecture recordings and offers Zoom calls. It's obvious he genuinely wants students to succeed.
