Karl is likely the best chemistry teacher you will ever have. His lectures are extremely effective, and even out of the classroom he's very happy to work with you one-on-one. The grading and testing system is fair, flexible, and effective. Chemistry is not an easy subject, and Karl does a wonderful job of making it make sense and be enjoyable!

Karl is the best o.chem professor you are likely to find. He wants you to succeed.

I adored Mr. B he is an awesome chem teacher and so attractive. It helped me get to class each day

Very nice chemistry professor. Organic is not easy, but he works with students every day in class to help them understand. More group work than lecture. Flexible grading. Very fun prof.

Bailey is a great guy that wants the students to succeed. He is a very personal guy and wants the best for his students. His grading is very fair.

Dr. B is pretty cool. Awesome guy but the groupwork is crappy... at least that's my opinion. He likes to help answer questions and wants everyone to succeed. Overall I have mixed feelings.

Such an awesome teacher. Explains everything until you get it no matter how many times he has to repeat it. Is super sweet and spends his life trying to help troubled students even if he doesnt get paid from it. Great chem teacher!

Just a fantastic teacher, and a nice guy. He is gifted at explaining the most complex concepts, until you understand.

He'll do everything to help you pass and a quarter later he still says hi to me in the halls and asks how my current science classes are going. He's funny and helpful and he cares. Best Chem teacher EVER.

Karl totally rocks! He works really hard to see his students succeed and spends tons of time helping you until you grasp the concept. Very personable and friendly. His lectures are interesting and fun. The group work is tough, but interesting. Definitely looking forward to O chem with him next year.

very nice and very helpful professors. He does everything to make you pass with an A in the class. I wish every professor was like that. Take this class.

Karl was a great teacher. You will work for your grade, but he will help you in every way he can. Pay attention in class, he hates it when you talk. I didn't like the group work, but it works for most people. He does a great job at adapting to students needs.

He's a hard teacher, I'll give you that, and sometimes you'll feel like he's overwhelming you. Yet, over all, he's one of the best teacher's I've ever had in all my years being at Clark. He was difficult to deal with my first couple terms with him, but I stuck with him and am glad I did. He's rough on the outside, but the sweetest guy ever inside.

The course is really tough, but he opens up all sorts of office hours to help you. I used a lot of youtube lectures to help me understand it, and used the book a ton. I didn't take 050, which will probably help, but I put in a lot of effort and love chemistry now. He is a really funny guy and very dedicated to his students! Good luck!

This class is pretty hard, especially if you have not taken a previous chem class. I would recommend taking chem 50 if you're worried. Karl does open a lot of office hours to help students and tries to help everybody get the best grade possible.

He's great.

Really really good teacher. I'd recommend him any day. He is so helpful and cares so much about his students. I struggled with this class but he is willing to help you as much as he can.

I've never met a more invested professor. The group work takes a while to get used to but Chem is one of those subjects you have to do to know what questions to ask, so it's a great learning tool. It's not teaching yourself. If you don't understand something, ask a coherent question and Karl will stick with you until you're both sure you get it.

Best professor Ever, no doubt about it. Always willing to help and wants you to succeed. Once again, Best Professor Ever!

Great professor! Very helpful when you need it, and extremely knowledgeable/passionate about organic chemistry. Not a super easy grader, but he gives you second chances if you show improvement.

The best!!

Best teacher ever. All you have to do is show up, do the lab, get it signed off, and then answer the lab questions at home. You will get full creit, even if they are not right. I have gotten all 10/10 on my labs, even though i don;t always answer them right. He sticks with you until you understand, and he is very sweet and passionat

Dr. B is an amazing teacher. He is invested in your success and has many office hrs. I hated the little bit of group work we had to do, but I think that is a matter of learning style. When I take 131 I will definitely take Karl again.

Dr. B is the BEST prof on campus! He does everything he can to help you succeed. Tons of office hours available. Will work with you until you get concepts. His classes will prepare you for a science based career. He works hard to make you a scientist that can walk out of class and be functional in the real world. He's awesome!

Karl is THE BEST instructor I have EVER taken. He is funny, intelligent, helpful, and really cares about his students' success. He emails you back right away, and each week he sends an email to all of his students about the week to come. Many of his students received an A, me included.

The greatest chemistry teacher ever. He is super helpful with everyone and can truely answer any question with precision. He knows his stuff and can tell he has a real passion for it. I really liked taking this class and would recommend anyone who take chem, get Dr. Bailey

He is the BEST teacher ever. literally the best and very very helpful. If you don't do your sapling or quiz on time he will extend the date for you. He loves teaching the class and gets very excited about it. I recommend this teacher to anyone!!

BEST Prof EVER! Don't hesitate. Take HIS class. He's amazing.

He is great. He will explain things until you get it. His class was pretty easy, just do the assignments. For the most part he will help you get the right answers on the labs if you ask, except the last lab you do all by yourself. I recommend him!

His teaching style took a while for me to get used to & I was frustrated the first 2 weeks but now I love his methods. He truly wants you to do well & will help you until you get the concepts down. I wish he had been my teacher the first time through Chem. Take Dr. B's class you will learn a lot.

Great teacher. He really wants you to succeed, and I believe failing this course is impossible. I think 3 tests are worth 150 points and the homework is worth 110. The class itself is challenging, but he makes getting an A easily attainable with a moderate amount of effort.

He is a very nice teacher and very passionate about the subject. He is very helpful and always encourages students to ask questions. The teaching style is different, but seemed useful. Highly recommend.

Rad teacher!!!! Super easy going, nice personality. Lots of assignments, but he is very helpful with each student.

My favorite professor by far, not just because he's cute(;. He's very helpful and encouraging. I really enjoyed his class and would definitely recommend him!

I was so scared to take chemistry, especially at the college level, but Karl made the material very easy. Class went by smoothly, usually doing all the learning in small groups almost everyday. He is so flexible with assignments and the class was so great. Taking him again for Chem 131. TAKE KARL IF YOU WANT AN A

Karl is such a fun professor! He is funny, really energetic,and makes even the most boring concepts in chemistry interesting. He doesn't lecture hardly ever, so LOTS of group work! He is always making sure everybody understands each concept. Best Chem teacher I have ever had!

Karl was a great professor! Tests are easy if you study and put in the time. Take this class with Karl!!!

Karl is super cool and really nice! He has a good sense of humor and he makes sure we understand what's going on before he moves on and he also makes sure we understand what's going on homework-wise. The first half of the quarter was a bit of group work while he walked around and asked if we had any questions. I really recommend taking him.

Dr. Bailey is great. The group work took me a while to get use to, it's not my favorite way to learn, but as the class goes on Dr. Bailey lectures more especially if the class needs it. He makes himself very available during his office hours and is always willing to help. Great prof!

I didn't like him at first because it's mostly group work and barely any lecture. But I adjusted and it got easier. There are a lot of online stuff, like quizes and homeworks, and the class is pretty hard. But if you ask questions he makes sure you understand the material. Very nice and funny! But I had to work my butt off in his class.

Dr. B is by far the best Chem teacher I have ever had, and I have had a few. Will definitely be taking CHEM 131 with him as well. He really cares about your learning and understanding of the material. Yes, there is a lot of online work, but that worked great for me!

Dr. B was one of the best teachers I've ever had! He puts in a lot of effort to make sure you succeed! A lot of homework but if you put in the time and effort, he makes it impossible to do poorly in his class. Hands down the most dedicated teacher at Clark. I enjoyed his class so much, I actually started to like chemistry for a minute!

Dr. B is a great teacher with an approach to truly help students learn and not just pass a class. He takes the time to make sure everyone is understanding the material and is fair with the amount of work and expectations. Get comfortable working in groups, it actually helps learn the material better. Taking for chem 131.

Most people that take this class for nursing, so he expects that everyone wants an A out of the class and his standards are high. But he is willing to give extra help to anyone who asks and anyone who really wants the help to get a good grade. He is tough, but just wants to see everyone succeed at his class. Awesome instructor!

Dr. B is hands down one of the best professor I've had since coming to Clark. He is super peppy and makes students eager to learn. He is also very willing to meet with students fo extra help. He's also ridiculously attractive, which is a big plus.

Karl was a great chemistry teacher!!!! I took his hybrid class, it was all new to me but he is there for when you need help or don't understand some concepts. Class was always fun and I enjoyed attending his classes. Also what was awesome and helpful was before each test he does a study session a day before the test and that was very helpful.

Dr. B is awesome! I'm the third in my family to take his CHEM121, and the third of us to LOVE his class. I had Dr. B for both lecture and lab (plus online discussion). He's super helpful and fun and gives students a chance to succeed if they put in the effort, and aims for all learning styles (and he plays music during lab!!). Great professor!

Dr. B is a great teacher but he is so intelligent that you have to ask him to dumb it down for you at times. With the class being hybrid you really have to be ready to learn on your own. If you aren't on your own you're in a group so be careful where you sit the first day. When e does lecture it makes perfect sense. He's there to help just ask!

Chemistry can be difficult with any teacher. He was an alright teacher, but I would not want to take him again.

At first, he's very intimidating but clear about his expectations in class. He sets the rules clearly. Later on, I found him sincerely looking after his students (and hilarious). He is easy to talk with especially if you miss a deadline. If you're taking this on a summer term, beware of heavy workload, fast-paced and time demanding course.

Dr. Bailey was an amazing teacher. Chemistry is a subject I feared, and while the information was indeed challenging, he was very supportive and went out of his way to help his students succeed. He made himself available outside of class for help and even offered off-time study sessions for tests.

Feared Chemistry my whole life. Though he was a grumpy professor at first, but he really cares about his students and understands that we all have lives. Dr. B made success possible. He empowers students to believe in themselves and succeed. Take him take him take him. The force is strong in this one!!

Tougher class than expected, but I learned a lot! Online discussions are worth a lot of points, and there are very complicated rules about the posts--beware of your seating choice, the group that you are in online is based on your group in class (choose wisely!) (Pick a question from the sapling homework to post in the weekly overview discussion)

Bailey was a very good professor overall. I enjoyed his class, and although the curriculum of the class was very difficult, Bailey did everything he could to make sure that you understood it. Pick your seat on the first day wisely, that is your group for the whole quarter. If you have the chance pick Bailey as your chemistry professor.

Dr. B was a good teacher. The subject is very hard and was not easy for me. Discussions online are a lot of points so do not forget them. There is a tutor available on campus, they are not the best but they can help. Dr. B is available outside of class a lot and is willing to help when needed. I appreciated his help very much.

Dr.B is the GOAT. He is such a cool guy who cares so much about everyone and their performance in the class. The class can be difficult at times but he makes it much easier. Discussions worth a ton so make sure you do them. My favorite professor at Clark, and beyond school hes a great role model.

Bailey is one of the kindest professors I have ever had. At first, I thought he was intimidating, but after getting to know him, he cares about his students more than any professor I have ever had. Get to know him and go to his office hours - I can't stress that enough! Also, do your discussions early! If you miss one, it will really impact you.

It was a Hybrid class and more individual work. This class is not easy, but for me, it was easier than Chem 121. Try to gather with people after class and do the work together, because it is what helped me. I met with friend 2-3 times per week and we went over the class activities and prepared for the Exams. If you study every day you will be fine.

I only had the pleasure of having Dr. Bailey as my lab instructor for this class but he did an excellent job at such. He comes across cold at first but it's just part of his charm. In fact, he proved to incredibly warm, encouraging, and helpful. A really down to earth, interesting, and overall good human being. I highly advise taking his class.

Dr. B is a great choice for any student seeking to take Chem 131 at Clark. He is accessible during office hours, and will often go though past assignments with you to determine what you can do to improve in the class. He explains the material well, and seems to take interest in the success of his students. Overall: 9/10 would take again.

I had him for lab only, but he was still a great teacher. He was much better at explaining things than my lecture teacher, and he did a good job teaching the lab in a quick, organized fashion. He is very quick at grading the lab sheets. My only complaint is that he gives instructions really fast, which can be intimidating, but he knows his stuff.

He seems so intimidating at first but he is a great professor! I have never had a teacher that cares so much about you being successful in the class. He is quick to respond on Canvas and grading criteria is very clear. Organic Chemistry is a hard subject but he makes it pretty fun!

Dr. B is a great guy. He is very smart and taught me so much. I actually understand Chemistry because if him. It is now one of my favorite subjects. Pure genius. Thanks for being AWESOME.

Solid professor, but has lots and lots of discussions, homework, & extra assignments due every week. Would be easier to learn and study for the hard tests w/o all the busywork. Takes a long time to get into the groove of things. Lots & lots of both pointless & helpful group discussions. Alright but not the best professor. Work hard & you'll do fine

I think the topic itself isnt the kind you would expect to learn by listening to lectures, so dont expect that from this class. You do have to do a decent amount of self teaching but its not insane and the professor provides resources to aid you. It is hard but doable for sure.

Dr. B is flexible with some things but you must read & communicate. Participation in Group activities & Weekly Overview is crucial! Don't procrastinate on lab checklist & labs. Starting 2nd mod, get to your roles (learn the roles) in your group & start posting, watch support videos, get your group to participate to move along each chem activities.

Dr. Bailey cares about his students. He gives great feedback and is encouraging. The grading criteria is clear. Do the work, show up and participate, reach out if you need help and you will succeed.

Dr.B, was overall a great professor. He had a clear grading criteria and a weekly overview that helped you feel organized. There was alot of work in this course but if you plan out 2 to 3 weeks at a time with daily goals this will keep you moving forward one day at a time. He will work with you if you need sapling homework and labs date extended!

Dr. B is an amazing instructor. The class itself influenced me to take organic chemistry with him. I loved the online format and how it was set up exactly to know what you should be learning next. If you organize your time and do a little bit each day and go slow with concepts you'll be just fine!

I took his class twice (chem 121 and Chem 131) and I doubt I'd learn chemistry any other way. You will need to put some time into this course. Review chapters 9, 4, and 3 from chem 121 and you should be fine. Learn the functional groups. If you're going into nursing, this is a class you'll definitely want to take even if you don't have to!

I took his class for chem 121 and 131, and although its hard, he himself is wonderful. Participation matters greatly, and understanding his expectations and the layout of his course will help you. It's different than any other teacher or class I have ever taken however he himself is one of the most passionate teachers who actually cares.

Took intro to chem. The way its set up is confusing at first but you get into a rhythm and it helps you learn well. He is very caring and always available. You have a group discussion each week and he even participates to help. Final is only worth 5%. Homework can do until 100%. Quizzes can take 3 times! Discussions are easy. HIGHLY recommend!

I can't grasp how anyone would not rate Dr Bailey a 5. He is very helpful, is quick to respond to questions, &gives excellent feedback. He is more than willing to do what he can to help students pass. The homework &quizzes were hard at times but if you had q's, Dr. Bailey was there to help. I would take him again any time for any class if I could.

Dr. B is an interesting person. He reads as slightly sassy and full of himself. Like yeah we get it, you're a doctor of chemistry - clearly you know the material. Nonetheless, very easy class with a heavy workload. Participation is 30% of your grade - just do it. His directions are quite confusing sometimes. Loves words.

I had Dr. B for CHEM121/131 and he was amazing for both! He uses a Wed-Wed schedule (vs. Mon-Sun) which is great for people like me who work full time during the week and only have weekends to do school work. You have to be willing to put in the participation effort in this class. Dr. B is flexible and understanding if you communicate with him.

Dr B. is an awesome teacher, always there to help. lecture and lab was online and it was very clear. He responds fast when you have a question. participation is very important, you have a group that you work with every week and is very helpful. He allows retakes of exams and quizzes and is very flexible with assignments if you work.

Dr. B is excellent. He's highly organized and has the entire semester was planned out on Canvas. He's accessible and even encourages Zoom meetings. The course content is tough in general, and group work is 30% of your grade. No lecture, but there are videos so do the work, stay ahead, prep your labs, ask questions in the group chats. You Got This!

He is one of the kindest and best teachers I have ever had at Clark College. Very respectful. If you have any questions, he responds quickly. He is the best. Choose him without thinking.

Dr. B is a great professor - very organized and accessible. The coursework is challenging, but if you stay on top of it and use resources like Unstuck AI, you can absolutely succeed. Highly recommended!

Karl Bailey was a fantastic Chemistry professor who really helped me understand the material. He is accommodating of life circumstances that may arise during the course. Would take again!

Dr. B does a good job as a teacher. He puts in time and dedication. Concepts are fairly hard, and labs take way too long (4-5 hr). Lots of assignments and you must be active 3 separate days for participation. At first everything is overwhelming, but once you get the hang of it (wk3-4) it's not too bad. We always tend to get A's. Read the Smith!

Tough class and overwhelming at the beginning, but you're going to need him. He's a good teacher and gives good grades. His grading makes sense, and his teaching methods are strategized well. You have to put in effort and time, but you will succeed if you have heart. I'm 16 and got an A in this class (my 2nd term)

Pretty solid overall, there is a lot of work each week so be ready to be proactive. About half of the labs were pretty annoying and long, but the other half was fine. Dr. B himself is a good teacher. He's responsive and helpful, each week he asks everyone what their biggest struggles with the concepts were and posts answers to everyone's questions.

Dr.B is awesome. If you have a shred of humor, you'll like him just fine. Chem is a very difficult class, especially online so be prepared. He recommends you study a certain way; take the advice but also find what works for you. Lots of discussions which is the main component, at least for online...

Dr. B cares about the success of his students. He has created a system that he thinks is the best way to learn, and it works but it is a heavy workload. You must be active multiple days for preparatory discussions on each chapter, do homework, then read the chapter, take quizzes, and do labs. I would recommend him but be ware of the amount of work.

Dr. B focuses his attention on making sure you understand the material more than perfection. He is very understanding when things come up in peoples lives as long as you are communicating with him. He grades very fairly and responds to questions in a very timely manner. There is a lot of information to cover with a lot of homework.

Dr. B is fair, focuses on material retention, and works with you to make sure you understand the material. He offers quick responses and is very understanding of unexpected life events. There is a lot of homework but it's worth it. Participation matters heavily in this course.
