Dr. Crowell is very helpful, always accessible in his office and has former experience teaching in high school so he knows how to keep everyone entertained. CHEM1441 is a hard course but Dr. Crowell tries his best on helping out (even giving out extra points at tests sometimes).

He is an amazing professor. He really tries his best to keep class attentive. He is hilarious and has a joke for every class. He is around for students and gives out easy bonus as much as 20 points in tests. It is difficult, but he manages to make it seem easy. Be prepared to do a lot of ALEKS. It is very annoying, but he is fair in duedates.

He is an excellent professor. He helped me learn and really enjoy chemistry concepts that I thought I'd never understand. He wants to help you learn, not just get an A. He's pretty funny too, and you can never ask a stupid question in his class. He's one of those professors that will make you consider switching your major to take more classes.

Easy on the eyes and a great lecturer. Never thought I would enjoy chemistry but he definitely helped make class something I looked forward to. He has chemistry puns and uses Dr. Rogers' notes so it was a win win. I'm actually looking forward to taking biochemistry now that he is teaching it.

Makes chem interesting with his jokes! Chem is difficult but easier with his lectures using Dr. Rogers' set of notes to fill in blanks (purchased at the bookstore for like $14). The textbook is online and found through ALEKS, where you do your homework. There are iclicker questions each class, 4 exams with 20 questions, and a departmental final.

Entertaining professor who knows what he is talking about. Strongly recommend to buy the notes from UTA bookstore. Attend class and do as much practice as you can for an A. Replaces Final with lowest mid term.

Dr. Crowell was amazing. Very clear in what he expects you to know for the tests. He's fair in what he asks on the tests, he will not try to trick you, just think. Going to class benefits greatly. Read the book, study his notes, and do the practice problems he assigns.

Dr. Crowell was awesome! He uses fill-in-the-blank notes which are super helpful. The online homework is somewhat time-consuming. However, his lectures were informative and funny, and he has great examples to work through. He is very honest about what to expect in other Chemistry classes and medical school. He does use the iClicker, though.

I was a final year student before taken chem, needed it to graduate. You got to study for lab quizzes, you go to do lab reports, pre labs and oh yeah Aleks. If youve ever taken Aleks you know what Im talking about. The prof was ok, always gets easily distracted however. If you have the option of taken it somewhere else, take my advice and do it.

Textbook isn't necessary. His lectures are interesting and he's funny. The online homework is a lot, I'm a procrastinator all the way but it's hard to get all of it done by midnight if you wait till the last day. Practice the questions from old tests and from his practice problems because those are exactly what's on the test.

Professor Rogers 2.0.. Great professor, printed notes, enthusiastic in class. Attendance is extra credit, he usually won't deviate tests from the material on his notes unless he specifically tells you. His FRQs are more intuition-based. Read the book, it helps a lot.

Took him for intro to chemistry. You fill in printed notes and do examples during lecture. He tells you what you need to know for the test, and teaches you exactly how to do it. Attendance is mandatory, but not a second of your time is wasted. We had no homework, and instead we did it during lab time. Effective teaching methods and engages you.

Awesome Professor for MCAT Prep. All information is presented in a precise, efficient and effective manner. Very approachable. Test are not tricky and are similar to past exams. Emphasizes important material in class. There are In class quizzes that are bonus toward your final grade and are similar to exam questions.

the best biochem professor! Very helpful fill in the blank notes.

Professor Crowell is a really nice person, and he does fill-in-the-blank note style. All of his lectures were available on Echo360 outside of class. The notes were pretty straight forward. The grade for the class depended on 2 midterm exams and the final exam, so if you do poorly on one, you don't really have a chance to recover.

In class, he does fill-in-the-blank style notes. He explains the material relatively well and he goes at a good pace and allows time for questions. There are also Clicker questions as a participation grade. Then there's the horrible ALEKS that doesn't help whatsoever. Lots of practice questions available for studying. Easy class if you work.

Dr. Crowell is a good lecturer and covers what he needs to, but doesnt do many practice problems in class. There are echo360 recordings which help A LOT. He randomly does clicker questions so dont skip class! I found his exams challenging, but plenty of people did well. The chem department does not curve or give EC so do well on the midterms.

The dude is funny! He makes me want to change my major. He uses his own lecture notes, so the book is not mandatory. I only utilized it for more practice problems. Just show up to class, pay attention, work out the problems with him, and understand "why" you are doing what you are doing and it should be an A. Overall one of my favorite professors.

Do the practice problems and practice tests. Read your notes after lecture, and you should be good for the tests. Tests aren't necessarily hard, but if you do not practice your concepts, you will not do good.

Crowell is one of the best professors I've taken this semester, I have him for 1441 and his lectures are well structured, with fill in the blanks notes which are very helpful and make the textbook unnecessary. However, the class is hard, you have to study if you want to pass and I would suggest going to the SI sessions, I went from a D to an A.

His lectures enjoyable and not boring with hilarious stories to connect to the concept. The fill-in lecture notes are helpful, and textbook is great for extra help. Chemistry is not easy, but you will pass if you study! I got two 100s on the midterms! I studied by doing textbook practice problems, practice problems on back of notes, and old exams.

Read the book in advance and do ALL practice problems. That alone will ensure you get an A in this class. Test averages are generally about a 60 because most people do not do this. Crowell as a professor is excellent. This class requires a lot of time and effort so be ready to commit if you want the A.

Prof. Crowell was amazing! Not only was he funny, but he also taught all the material really well! There were times where he would ramble BUT anything he didn't get to, he wouldn't put on the test! Also, since the tests are based on lectures there is no real reason to read the book. BTW the school no longer uses ALEKS! Will definitely take again!

Dr. Crowell is amazing. Although this course was tough, he makes it so enjoyable. He is a very relatable man and has a lot of funny stories. As long as you attend class, study your notes, do the homework and read the textbook, you will do just fine! He tests very fairly (although the final exam was tough) and he does not set out to trick you.

First of all its chem guys cmon theres no easy way to get an A. You have to work using the textbook and there are so many resources available (except the chem clinic really didnt help it seemed like they didnt care to be there). But Crowell is a nice dude and will try to help you as much possible. But in the end its up to you for your grade.

Crowell is passionate about chemistry and very personable. His lectures are very by the book, and make sure to read and do the practice problems. Easy A if you delegate proper time. Chem 2 is a chore, but it builds the foundation for Ochem and Biochem so pay attention. He's good regarding homework and cares about his students. Great in office hours

This professor is so funny! Sometimes he will get side tracked to tell a story from his life, listen. His notes are fill in the blank style which really helps with paying attention in class. His exams are weighted heavily so pray that you do good but he also gives extra study material. He is a really good teacher and cares for his students.

I really enjoyed Crowell. Others might not because he teaches slow, but I appreciated the extra time given on each topic. Make sure to read!! I really liked his lectures, because he incorporates his experiences and stories into them. He's also so funny. When we switched to online because of the pandemic, he was really understanding! Take him!!!

One of the best professors for chemistry. His lectures are amazing and he uses Rogers' fill in the blank notes. Do the practice quizzes and attend live online lectures and you will do good. Highly recommended!

Dr. Crowell is THE BESTTTT!!! I have had rodgers (who is such a gem and an amazing professor), however, Dr. Corwell goes a little bit at a slower pace and makes SURE you understand the material. So kind, chose him again after taking his 1400 class!!!

made a very difficult course easy to understand. lecture alone will not help you, you NEED to do practice from the textbook! lectures are entertaining and engaging. tests are just like practice qs. final exam was significantly harder than previous tests, so he gave everyone ten extra points for free. overall, you have to work for an A

Dr. Crowell is actually a really good CHEM professor. This course is hard, so average test grades usually in the 60s range. He is clear in what you need to know and how to study. Do ALL the old test problems he posts because those help a lot with exams. Exams are about 50% conceptual and 50% math. Do well in lab to keep your grade up!

Definitely one of the hardest courses I have ever taken. With that being said, I still made an A. Didnt have much of a life outside of Chem, but with enough work you can do it. Josh cracks me up. I would definitely take him again. He does drop lowest midterm grade which definitely saved me. Exam 3 is super tough.

Took Crowell online for Summer 2021. There's no homework for the 5 week program, so you're only graded by the lockdown browser exams and the labs, the latter of which can be grueling at times. Crowell offers fill-in-the-blank lecture notes, which can be purchased in the bookstore. Lectures were recorded, but the notes cover the exams well.

The lectures are so so important, so skipping them will probably hurt you in the long run, however if you show up you will be fine. He explains things at a good pace, and will explain them differently if you did not understand his first one. I would most definitely take him again for 1442.

Crowel is a pretty good prof. in my opinion. I usually don't show up to his classes because he teaches extremely slow & gets off topic a lot but his prerecorded lecture are straight to point and have everything you need for the exams. The textbook was online & required bc the hw is on there. If you watch the lectures & understand then you will pass

One of the better gen chem professors. He uses Roger's notes and textbook. Exams are doable since they're similar to problems from the back of lec notes and reviews. Crowell provides a lot of resources for his exams, so DO them. Pay attention to lectures then hw is easy. You got to work for an A.

The prof is extremely interesting to listen to, explains each topic clearly, and is extremely understanding and fair. Every other week or so there is a homework assignment. Other than that, there are basically just exams. A lot of content is covered, some math based, some memorization, so make sure you review decently often.

The tests were straight from the notes and lecture. During lectures he would give us hints about what would show up on the test (histidine). The book sucked so dont open that. Echo360 quality was terrible from either the microphone not working or the recording just flat out not recording.

I enjoyed this class! The course grades entirely on exams. He tests pretty much entirely on in-class notes, and lectures. This is so helpful because the book is too in-depth, and his notes makes it clear. I highly recommend going to lectures, because of this! Also, watch AKlectures! Overall, he is a nice guy, and this was a great class.

Joshua Crowell is the professor to chose if structure is important to you. He gives practice tests that if you complete twice you will definitely pass the exam. He teaches as if you were reading the textbook but slightly more interesting. He isn't that personable so just research the problems you have because he will make you feel dumb.

His lectures are easy to follow. His exams closely follow the exam reviews he has posted. Overall I recommend him as a professor; however, he is not very nice when you talk to him one-on-one.

The best part of this class is that he replaces your lowest midterm grade with the final. What really helped me with studying is to do the practice problems in the back of the lecture notes and read the textbook since it had problem-solvers. I would use the final exam review from the lecture notes along with reviewing past exams for the final.

Crowell is very clear from the beginning on what it will take to pass the class. Overall, I liked his teaching style and would take him again. You will have to read the textbook and do all the practice exams to do well in the class.

If you take 1400, he does a great job building foundational chem ideas for people who have never taken it. If he taught 1465 I would 100% take him again. He is a jokester and has pretty fun stories to tell, I don't think they take away from lecture. But he also stands on business when needed. He also has a southern twang that made lectures better.

his lectures are the textbook. his notes are based off the textbook. went to class to confirm what i already read in the textbook 99% of the time. Attend lecture for the small instance he gives you a trick to solve a problem, other than that, just read the book in class and do hw problems/txtbook problems. in summary, do all the textbook problems.

Honestly, Crowell is one of the sweetest professors out there. He is very understanding with his students and he really takes the time to explain the work problems. Every day it is a lecture then for the rest of class you work on problems on your own or with a group. Really take advantage of the time to ask questions and study on your own too.

He is passionate about teaching Chemistry and excels at breaking down complex concepts, making learning more accessible and engaging. His approachable and student-friendly attitude creates a supportive environment. He also offered four extra bonus points for completing the course evaluation, showing his commitment to student success.

Amazing at teaching an intro to chem course for those who need refreshers or barely know about chemistry.

The best professor I've ever had,hands down. Its rare to find a professor who loves teaching, and even rarer to find a professors whose passion is teaching. I took him in a 5 week course which was really challenging, but I couldn't have done it without him. Enroll in his courses!You will not regret it. He rounded my 88.0 to an A- also :) I miss him

Definitely one of my favorite professors, that wants nothing but to see his student succeed, he helped me understand the basics of chemistry after having trouble in my previous years. Assignments are given and due by the end of lab but him and the TA's will help so much if you're having trouble, don't be scared to ask questions, he's happy to help!

Dr.Crowell is an amazing chemistry professor where its obvious he knows what his talking about. Lectures are short and sweet and get to the point. Answers all questions and clearly states what he expects on his exams and classwork. With him I have a clear understanding of the basis of Chemistry where it will build your foundations!

If I had the chance, I'd take every chemistry class with him. He really shows a solid understanding of chemistry. His lectures are brief and to the point. He's funny and super nice. Just follow his instructions, and you'll find it's a pretty easy class overall.

Uses Rogers style notes during lectures. The information is not as difficult compared to organic chem. Homework is a completion grade and is usually harder than actual exams. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he gives extra credit if you attend. Can be hard to predict what will be on the exam since there aren't reviews, but they are reasonable.
