Very helpful, goes out of his way to put activities, study guides, and anything else he can to make chemistry easier. He really cares about students success in his course. I would take him again anytime.

He really cares about his students. He tries to go out of his way to make sure everyone understands, and is always available for questions. He could probably use a better teaching method, but his dedication to his students makes up for it.

It's his first semester teaching. He tends to ramble and some of the easier problems he reads too much into and uses the wrong equations. But he knows his stuff and is very willing to help his students. Plus he's easy on the eyes.

I suggest students take him because he is very dedicated to his students. He is one of the few preofessors that actually does everything they can for students to pass their class. He is helpful,he knows wut he talking about, and he has extra office hrs for students. He makes his class interesting.

Good teacher, who wants to help. But he can be confusing when he is teaching. Has good intentions though

I have to say that majoring in biology is about the stupidest reason to have a bad opinion on this professor's teaching skills in chemistry. That is why there is GRADUATE SCHOOL. And last I checked this professor has many years in upper level chemistry discipline as well as research.

This professor is always willing to help out with ANYTHING Chemistry related. If you want a teacher that cares about the future of his students pick Caswell. "FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION"

I just wish he taught chem 2...

The class is insanely hard, but its like that for all General Chem classes. Caswell cares a lot about his students. He is always in his office helping whoever needs it, and tries to make things as easy as possible, even though thats pretty hard to do with this course.

Caswell was a genuinely good teacher. He was always available and did everything he possibly could to help us do well in the class.His motto is"Failure Is Not An Option!" With him as a teacher it never will be. I wished he taught Chem 2

He is a professor who really cares about his students. He will move his schedule around to help his students. Some topics he does not explain clearly, but if you read the chapter before attending class it is easy to follow.

He will do anything in his power to help his students pass the class, even if it means losing his job. Although the lectures are not always that clear, in a 50 minute time span and over 150 students in a class there is not much else he can do. Go to him for help, he does understand!

good man, nice person... probably your best bet for a chem 1 teacher. I put a 2 for easiness b/c they are somewhat hard, however he doesn't make them the chem board does... I do believe his classes score the highest on them

He's concerned for his students, no doubt. He will go out of his way to make sure we all won't fail, however, his lectures almost parrot the textbook and definitely don't spark any interest in the subject. I'd say B- overall - he's not bad by any stretch.

very helpfull

very delicious, indeed. likes to give out hints on tests. big plus! also plays pretty good music while kids are trickling into class

He tried to help with all he can, but he wasn't the one in charge. He really tried and gave great reviews. I had a A in the class until the Final exam...got an F cause a standardized test. worry more about the final

Great guy and Very helpful. Even wanted to come to students' study groups to help. However...you still need to work your ass off to get a good grade. Not a bad teacher...but definitely not a great one.

AMAZING professor! It says a lot for a professor's classes to continuously score the highest on department exams in his first semester!! He's definitely the most approachable professor I have ever met- always ready to help out with anything from class and even the lab or whatever else you may need!

He tries to help, but theres only so much a chem prof in this school can do, its runned by the department. But he does all he can to help you to pass. hard class though

THE GUY IS INCREDIBLE. DINFINITELY AWESOME

He really does try to help his students. The problem is, since there are so much info in the textbook and that there are so many students, he gets a little not-so-nice sometimes. All around, he's the best chem teacher you can get for this class. Always show up for practice problems!!!

He really teachs well, and is always available for help, however, his tests don't always resemble the chapters. (Not really his fault, he only makes 30% of the test) Great teacher.

Good teacher! Very helpful.

He trys to help his students as much as possible by giving tons of extra points. He trys hard to convey the information but i find teaches the more difficult way to do problems. Tests are extremely hard but thats not his fault, he gives a good review of the info. that your going to see!

He drones on (but I don't listen to lectures). He is willing to help all of his students and reviews as much as possible in class for tests. He gives extra points where he can- very nice and personable!!!

If you have to take CHEM at USF then its best to take Dr. Caswell. The test are hard, but it's not his fault. He is genuinely concerned about the students and goes beyond call of duty to help.

Very kool teacher

Great teacher. Has a genuine concern for his students. If you attend class and review sessions, it is an easy A. I would take his class again!

Dr. Caswell is the bomb. Anyone who says differently was just too lazy to study and it's a hard subject. He was so helpful,and he does something that most teachers I have had don't...he actually cares about his students!

Casewell is the man. if you can take his class, do it. he really cares for all his students, he's young and motivated, he loves to help, and never makes you feel stupid. plus he's pretty hott

He's really good and confident in what he does, even though his classes are packed!

He is really a good teachers..you can tell he cares about his students understanding of the material

enthusiastic

Caswell is an awesome professor. He truly cares about his students. Just read the assigned chapters and you will do fine on the tests. He tries hard to cover what will be exactly on the test.

This teacher is awesome! Did anyone else notice his name is Kimberlyn? Aside from that, the quizzes help, and he's very understanding.

Awesome professor, he truly cares about his students and wants everyone to do well and understand the material. very enthusiastic about chemistry which helps with the teaching

He is a great teacher and keeps class interesting, I never missed a single one. He also trys everyting possible to help his students pass the course. Not to mention he isn't to bad looking.

He is the best teacher I have ever had. Very helpful and really cares about the students.

Great Teacher. Teaches concepts really well. If you attend class and ask questions you will definitely pass. Tests are easy if the right measures are taken

awesome teacher! very helpful and into his work. He trully is dedicated and does everything possible to help u out! I loved him

Prof. Caswell is definitely my favorite teacher. His lectures are interesting and he grades very fairly. Plus, he's totally hot.

Cares about students, but lectures off of powerpoints. Needed to do more in-class problems for me to get more out of class. I did a-lot of out of class work for my A, but he was very helpful in his office hours. Sorority chicks really dig him.

I had Dr.C his first semester and I've been doing research with him since. He's hot but that will not get you through chem- you have to attennd the lectures and go through the chapters. The main thing though is doing practice problems. If you have questions go to his office hours. He's beyond willing to help and genuinely cares for students to pass

Explains things very well; extrememly helpful. I hated chemistry before I took this class b/c I wasn't good at it, but now I have a pretty good understanding and actually kinda enjoy going to class.

At first I was having trouble in Caswell's class because he was sometimes unlcear, but after I started going to him for help...I really started understanding the subject and getting better. He's a great guy, very helpful and does want you to learn but you've got to do your part too. The tests are easy if you study and the assignments are easy too.

Really nice teacher. Helps a lot to talk to him in office hours if you don't understand something about the class. If you go to class,do the homework,read and study you're in pretty good shape. Tests are hard, but then again he doesn't do them alone. Really fun teacher.

Before I took the course I heard that he was very good. I took him, and his awesome. He is always there to lend a helping hand. He has this thing called the clicker which is very helpful. I would reccommend him for anybody.

Great teacher. He's genuinely interested in seeing his students succeed and will do what it takes to see that happen. He brings a dynamic to lectures that makes class bearable. Uses clickers in his lectures, which make classes interactive.

awsome professor def. take caswell.

This is the best teacher ever! Goes out of his way to help students, is genuinely interested in the subject and goes above and beyond in trying to develop ways to make chemistry easier and more interesting to students. I used to think chemistry was so difficult but I have an A+ in the class and chem is now my favorite subject! Highly Recommended

Dr. Caswell knows the subject, attempts to help any way he can, and continues to help even when you move on to other classes. Overall a very good instructor. The material, however, requires time and effort (as all college classes do) and Dr. C cannot get you an A - you have to earn that yourself. He can, and does, support you on your way though.

Def not an easy class at all, but all the Chem classes have a huge curve. He is the best teacher to have though. Read the chapter at least twice, do all the hw, and get all the attendence points, and youll get at least a C.

He is a great professor full of positive energy and a zest for teaching the material. He is alot of fun, however that does not mean you can slack off you still have to do your work, but the great part is he will do all he can to meet you halfway. This professor comes highly reccommended, if and only if you will keep up your part of the deal.

dudes and dudets, this guy is great, always helpful, always will to do anything to see you succed. Get him if you can! you'll thank me later

He is a very bright and effective professor you will definitely learn alot from him. He cares alot about his students and I agree with the earlier comment try to take him if you can get him because he is well worth it trust me. He is an awesome professor and you all are in for a great treat.

great eatcher. very cute. take him you'll actually learn something

great professor. You should defintely take him. If you study the clicker questions and the notes he gives you, you will get at least get a B in the class. So take him, you will not regret it. It's a fun and exciting class

This teacher is very willing to help his students succeed. I am not that good in chemistry but I got and I got a B+ in this class. You have to go to class for clicker questions but he makes lectures fun and is nice to look at. Take him if you can!!

He's nice to look at, a nice person in general. Read his power points, they are helpful. Do your homework. He's willing to help if you need it. And I am really excited that I got him for chem 1 too!!!!

I learned a lot from the everyday things he went over in the lecture.... I also have him now for Chem 1 and will greatly recommend Caswell for chemistry, well any course at that....

Awesoome professor! He's very available outside of class, clear in lectures, and very passionate about what he does. You can tell he genuinely cares, which helps. He plays good music and is wicked hot, too. Real hot, seriously.

Very good professor, he does his best to teach the subject so that everyone understands it. He is more than willing to help you outside of class. Chemistry is a pretty hard subject so if you have to take it take it with him!

He is an amazing professor! Extremely helpful and usually always available if you need help with anything. Read the powerpoints and definately go to class for the clicker questions!

Great Teach.

Prof Caswell, is very passionate , however due to his busy schedule, research and other stuff he is not able to help out of class. However, he does explain concepts very well. One of the best professor for Chem I

He was the best Chm professor at USF. He can help you if you have questions but chm 1 requires your own commitment in order to get a good grade in the class. He counts homework and in class questions and attendance as part of the final grade so it is a good chance to get a good grade in his class. TAKE HIS

Excellent Professor!! Trust Me! If you can get into his class do so! He is the best chem professor at USF, very helpful passionate about his students,worries about your grades and will help! Go to class and take your clicker, do your homework and you should be ok!

Chem 1 is hard, its a weed out class but he did his best to help us out! in any chem course you really have to disect the books, i barely did and passed with a B- so it is doable to get an A if you try! he gives clicker points and allows us to drop 4, which really helps for those days you just cant make it! he will do anything to help!!

Excellent and passionate chem professor. Very easy to get an A but very difficult to catch up if you fall behind. I didn't really use the book; the homework was what got me through. It's best to do the homework a little ahead and go to the lecture to clarify any questions you may have.

He is an awesome professor and made chemistry very interesting! However, as a person can be quite rude and a little immature! Great class though as long as you don't talk to him personally.

Caswell is seriously awesome! He's ridiculously entertaining, and really helps if you dont't understand something. Not to mention he's definately good to look at! Take his class if you can!!

he keeps the class fun and he will do anything possible to help you succeed but you also have to do your part.

I took him for Prep Chem and this professor makes it his job to keep you interested and hammer the most basic concepts of Chemistry into your head! He is an amazing teacher...he does take attendence and there is a lot of online homework but it helps. This man made me change my major to Chemistry!

If you dont understand chem starting your college career, hes great to take. He shows powerpoints daily, and posts them online. He is extremely helpful, but his tests are extremely hard. Hes a great professor, cant understand why he isn't teaching upper-level classes.

Caswell is a good guy but his lecture's are extremely random and unorganized. I got used to his teaching though and did pretty well. The exams consist of 20 multiple choice questions. The book really helped me understand his lectures.

He is the best teacher I have ever had. Extremely helpful. If all teachers were like him the world would be a better place. He actually makes me enjoy chemistry. I would higly recomend him as a teacher. If you are going to take a hard subject like chemistry, please choose casewell.

fricken awesome teacher, make sure you bring your clicker to class, sometiems he goes fast through lectures but he is does a really good job. take good notes and if you print out his slides ahead of time your better off. he is all about trying to make sure you get a good grade, he is very helpful if you need help. concept mapping is a key

He genuinely cares about his students. He wants to make sure that everyone does really well. His powerpoint slides really help a lot. Go to class because he'll explain everything to you so that you understand.

Caswell is a great teacher. He goes over everything that you need to know in class and is very helpful if you go to his office. He throws some corny jokes your way, but only to pass the time and catch your attention. i would highly recommend him

Caswell is awesome. He really cares about his students, and tries his very best for everyone to understand. He's the best for General Chem I. Attendance is mandatory and if you do his clicker questions you'll get credit for just attempting it. EXCELLENT Professor!!!

I really don't understand why he's rated this low... This man was amazing! I have such a hard time with anything involving math, but with his skill in teaching, and MUCH hard work, his class is very passable. He's reasonable and very attentive to the classes needs (even giving some extra credit)! Be prepared to study, but all in all he's great! :)

HE is so great! Some people don't like him because he goes a little fast, but he will help you if you need it. He cares a LOT about every one of his students. Friends of mine would sit in on his lectures just because he was so interesting. Take his class!

Caswell was awesome! He truely cares about his students, and will help you with anything. He is very explainatory about everything he expects out of you and if you do it, you'll pass.

One of the best professors in chemistry! I love his class (He makes chemistry as interesting as it gets)!

A lot of the students at USF think Caswell is a great prof. I found that he spend the majority of the class time in Gen. Chem. I repeating information that should have been learned in high school or Intro to Chem. I worked hard, finished with a B+, but didn't feel like I learned much and was not prepared for the tests.

Caswell is a relly helpful prof. especially if you see him during his office hours. He doesnt really curve tests, and one time he made us take an exam on material he taught a week earlier; other than that he's good. This class prepares you for Gen Chem

I lucked into his Chem I class and ended up registering for his Chem II the following semester. He understands the material is hard and tries his best to get the students to understand. I sat in on other professors' lectures. CASWELL IS THE BEST, TRUST ME!!!!

Dr. Caswell is a really great teacher who knows the material and really wants students to understand and do well. He works through problems on the board and answers any questions. Definitely one of the best chemistry teachers! He is nice and has a good sense of humor. He is good looking too, which makes the class even more fun!

I had Caswell for Gen Chem I and II, he is the only reason I got an A, I hate chemistry but he made it easy to understand. He is definitely the best Chem professor at USF, take his class if you have the chance.

Easily the best chemistry teacher at USF. I took chemisrty 1 and got a C+ and then I took chem 2 with Caswell and got an A-. He actually makes chemistry make sense. Show up everyday and pay attention and tske note on the examples that he does on the board. GOOD LUCK!!

THE BEST CHEMISTRY PROFESSOR IN THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT!Caswell made Chemistry clear to me. I was so confused and had to learn Chemistry I by myself because of another professor last semester, but Dr. Caswell actually taught. If you went to his lectures all was ok. He does't make the exams, but he prepares you well; I consistently got A's and B's.

Caswell is a great professor. He kinda jumps around a bit, but he's extremely helpful. You have to be an idiot to fail this class.

I have had Dr. Caswell for three semesters straight (Prep Chem and Chem 1&2) and he is by far my favorite professor at USF! All you have to do is go to class (cell phone off!) and listen. If you don't understand simply ask him to clarify and he will! Don't talk while he's talking because HE WILL CALL YOU OUT!

He is probably the best teacher that I've ever had. He genuinely cares about is students and their success. Yes, he does ramble and he's aware of it, but he does get the point across. the review for the final was the best 2 hours of my semester. If you get him consider yourself blessed, and if you don't wait for someone to drop his class.

He really can explain concepts so that anyone can understand and apply them. He also has a really effective teaching style so that practically 80-90% of the class is actually lisenting to his lecture. I really enjoy his class!

really great teacher. makes chemistry really interesting

very good looking man, but i didn't really enjoy his class. his exams were difficult

Very nice and welcoming. Goes off on simple material tantrums a lot. However, easy to listen to. Never once covered all the material for the exam before the exam. Doesn't write the exams so can only TRY to lead students in the right direction. Go to class for clicker questions. I wouldn't prefer any other chem. teacher. Office hours are welcoming

Caswell is definitely my favorite. He teaches in terms that we are familiar with, and he makes sure we understand. Tests are 20 questions and if you read and go to lectures, you're fine. Lots of owl homework, but it helps you understand that much better.

He's awesome. His gen chem section is early in the spring, but I'm taking it because I think he's totally worth it. He makes lectures amusing at times. TAKE HIM!

I never had Caswell as my actual Professor but I do sit in his lecture for every class and I love it. He makes chemistry fun . He plays music before and after class. He has fun ways of explaining concepts with great visuals. For a lecture class there is a lot of chances for one to interact and learn. He won teacher of the year award. Hes the best!

I believe this professor is one of the best because he does care about the progress of his students. To do well within the course it's a 50/50 effort.Thus there are no easy A's in life nor in his class lol. If you are willing to put forth the time and effort he will indeed meet you halfway.

He is a very good professor. To get a good grade in the class, you have to attend lectures, Friday sessions, and do the homework. Gen Chem is a self taught course no matter who the professor is, so you have to read the book to fully understand because the class time is not enough. CHM2045 should be priority!! Tests are extremely hard. (conceptual)

Great professor! Very helpful, and very clear in class. Chem II is all acid/base reactions anyways, so just practice a few problems in the book and you're good for the exam. Check his office out, he's a bleeeeeeding heart liberal, which is rather amusing :P

Amazing teacher! I hated chem before his prep class and now I am thinking about majoring in it. He is the most helpful guy ever. Very cool :)

HES A GOOD GUY

I'm not a big fan of chemistry, but I took Caswell for both Chem I and II. He did an excellent job of explaining the concepts and I found all of his lectures interesting. I'd recommend him over any of the other chemistry professors.

Dr.Caswell is an awesome professor. I personally benefited from concept mapping and it really does help a lot. Nevertheless, the class is not an easy A. You still have to work hard and completely change the way you approach studying for chemistry and for any other science base or concept base course. His lectures are fun to listen to =D

If you get a chance to take Caswell do it! He is by far the best Chem professor that USF has to offer! His is very under appreciated, but he truly cares about the students and their learning! I have taken Gen Chem I and II with two other prof's that were horrible

Probably one of the best chemistry teachers at USF, if not the best. Take him!

made class interesting. exams were hard, but he's very good looking.

good helpful

He is one of the kindest and most professional professors on the campus. However, this will take some effort on your part and he will do all he can to help you succeed on his end. I would definitely recommend this professor to other students and I have.

This professor is really good and i recommend him to anyone and everyone. If you study for his tests you will get A's. I did the study section online to study for the test and it helped a lot.

In high school, many of my chemistry teachers underestimated me, they forced me to withdraw from the class. I had no confidence in myself. However, after taking Doc Caswell's intro to chem class, I have this new confidence in myself thanks to his creative teaching ability. I hope he's available for Gen Chem.

Dr. Caswell is a really great teacher. He's not easy by a long shot but really spiked my intrest for chemistry. His tests are hard but as long as you study and pay attention you should be fine. One problem is that he is not the sensitive type so he doesnt care about your problems. But i would recommend him for Chem for today

Great professor! Very willing to help and has interesting lectures. Exams are HARD. He loves trick questions to see if you're really thinking the questions through.

This class wasn't that hard. Yes you need to read the book, and you need to study. The only thing I hated about Caswell was the way he explained things, he made me more confused, rather then just stating how to do it, he tried to tie in all this other crap that just didnt work. I won't take him again unless I have to.

Kenny is full of himself and a glorified motivational speaker. Read the book, you'll get more out of that than you will from listening to any of the hot air coming out of his mouth. He is at least good about offering time to students.

He is a pretty great teacher for introducing chemistry. The class will be hard, but it will not be his fault. You just have to keep up, do hw, get your clicker points, study for the tests. He doesn't write the tests- the chem. department does. He's very into chemistry and tries to have fun with it. It's a tough subject, but Caswell makes it worth i

One of the best chemistry professors at USF. Made chemistry interesting and understandable. not an easy class but its college what do you expect. Came out with an A- TAKE HIM!!! You'll actually learn something and then the first test in Gen Chem I will be super easy

Hilarious about flirting with chicks in front row. Shooting water guns in class with them. Thinks he is so smooth. lecture is wasted scribbling notes and learning nothing then kills you on exam. Take Harmon

Caswell is the best teacher for Chem for Today. He can explain things quite well, but sometimes he can go off on tangents & it can confuse you. Be careful about his tests, he loves to do trick questions. He also loves concept mapping, & it's a pain to do, but he really cares about his students. Take him. Not an easy A, you have to work for it.

Guy is a good teacher for chem for today. I don't know about bio chem though. Tests are hard, but it is easy to bring your grade up with all the points that are available

He is an amazing professor!His class is very interactive and he tries to put the concepts in relate-able terms.All the other chem students come to his lectures to learn.He is the only Chm teacher that holds review sessions.Students who don't do well in his class need to study more.This is the hardest class I've taken at USF,but Caswell makes it fun

You need to buy the book, not only for the MasteringChemistry loggin, but also because it can be helpful when doing homework. Clickers are used, so you will have to buy one. This class takes a lot of work, but as long as you attend class and study, your grade shouldn't be lower than a B. He's very energetic and wants everyone to do well.

Caswell is the best chem teacher. He spends time and explains the concepts so well that everything connects! Definitely take Caswell!!

The previous comments must have been written by NOT SO SMART people. Caswell is a GREAT teacher! Time flies in his class because he makes everything so easy and really cares about students' success. The course is not easy(and people tend to blame that on teachers) but Caswell is great and has a great sense of humor. Take him! :)

I took his, got an A. The material is extremely broad and it requires you to have a substantial understanding of the material. Dr. Caswell was extremely passionate about the subject and the students that cared about the material. He will spend time with students who want to learn. A word of advice study hard and study smart.

He tells you to concept map if you ask a question previously covered. Other than that, very helpful. STUDY! and you will pass. Knows what he is talking about in Chem for Today. If you are willing to put full effort into the class, i highly recommend him

He's the best professor I've had so far. Whatever you do, don't take Garcia. Take Caswell!

He is super helpful. He jokes around and makes the class really fun. He is very good at teaching

Your grade will reflect the amount of effort you put into the class. It's definitely not an easy "A" but you can expect an "A" if you put in the time. He's very passionate about what he's teaching and is willing to help. He's a nice guy and good teacher- highly recommended.

Awesome teacher, took him for General Chem I and II and got A's in both. Go to class for clicker points but reading the book should suffice for passing the tests. He gives way more points for wrong clicker questions than other teachers. TAKE HIM!!

I absolutely hated his idea of concept mapping. I found it difficult and harder to learn material than just reading. I have mixed feelings about his teaching style because of that. If not for the curve, I wouldn't have passed his class. He's not a bad professor, but I had tons of trouble and thought he went too fast through material.

Great Professor. Really tries hard to explain to students the concepts behind what is taking place. Definitely is passionate about chemistry.

Good teacher, fair amount of skills.

Such a great teacher. He really loves what he does and is so passionate about it! Although his tests are hard, and he can be strict at times, he is truly an amazing person! And he loves to SCUBA dive! :)

Caswell was a GREAT professor. I had virtually no knowledge of chemistry before his class but I managed to pass with an A. If you don't get an A in his class it's your own fault. He is constantly doing review sessions and he is so flexible with his office hours. Definitely recommend him!

IMO, Caswell feigns interest in wanting to help students. In class, he encourages you to succeed and to come to him with questions, but when you do he seems put off. He gets off topic a lot and is theatrical in a distracting way (shuffles & taps his feet to add emphasis). He spent 1 minute talking about REDOX REXNS b/c he got behind in material.

Dr. Caswell is funny and passionate about chemistry. Don't come to class late, talk while he's talking, or have your phone go off during class, he will give you an evil glare! Overall, it was an easy class. The lectures are mandatory because of the clicker questions but if you just read the book, you will most likely get an A on the tests.

Great teacher, prepares you for the test, he is usually clear and informative during his lectures, but reading the book does help out. Going to class definitely helps you learn the concepts.

Very passionate. If you pay attention he dumbs everything down so well that anyone with no chemistry background could understand this guy. I recommend him to anyone.

Real cool and interesting professor. Doesn't make the exams himself so I always felt I was missing information.

His class isn't easy but going to class helps a lot since clicker points are worth 15% of your grade. Practice the homework problems over and over to prepare for the tests and you'll be fine. Some test questions are harder than what he'll have you study, but as long as you understand the concepts (this is the key) you'll be fine. Would recommend.

I took Caswell for an Environmental class and he was great. He's very smart and likes what he is teaching. He's also very nice. I love environmental science so I really enjoyed this class! We had a small research paper due each week and having the textbook was mandatory. Overall great professor!

Great Professor! Really impressed with how much out of class time Prof. Caswell is willing to give to help students understand chemistry. Need to read the material before his lectures or you will quickly fall behind. Four exams, heavy on conceptual questions which I found tricky. Hard class, so I felt lucky to pass.

Dr. Caswell is an amazing professor! I loved his Environmental Science class. He allows you to research things you find interesting and he really inspires you to think outside the box. He is also very passionate about what he does. There is a big project at the end of the semester that you work on throughout the entire course. Fun class and easy!

I took both of Dr. Caswell's Gen classes and just finished Gen Chemistry 2 last Fall. The people who are complaining probably never opened their textbook which you NEED to do in a chemistry course. His tests are difficult, but if you study what you're supposed to they are a piece of cake. Wish I could take these classes again, loved being there.

The realest rating: Lectures : 10/10 (Great lecturer) homework : 10/10 (must be done) Participation: 10/10 (must show up and do socrative quest.) Self application : 7/10 ( youtube, book, study after every class) Exam: 9/10 (They are hard) understanding: 10/10 (He's very understanding) Willing to help: 10/10 (He will help you however he can)

Dr. Caswell is a great professor and knows a lot about chemistry. If you study the lectures and especially the exam review guides they will be easy. My one critique is that Dr. Caswell can be intimidating when asking him questions and come of slightly stand off-ish, I am sure this is not his intent but this is how I felt

Read the book. This is college, read the chapter before the lecture and the lecture helps connect the dots giving you those "Ah-ha moments". The exams are conceptual, make sure you understand the concept and can apply them. Do not rush on the exams, read each answer and think about it, you have plenty of time. I would take him again, 100%

Read the book to understand the concepts. It is worth the drive to take his class, great teacher and the exams are straight forward.

Keep up with the lecture and use his MasteringChemistry assignments for your advantage. Chegg has all the answers but his test questions basically come from the homework. Great teacher if you show effort. Can be difficult to get a hold of but is overall very pleasant.

One of the best most understanding and enjoyable professors i have had. Great teacher and does whatever he can to make you excel in your academic goals.

I had one of the worse semesters in my college career, and professor caswell was so understanding and kind. he is a great person and great teacher. His class has a lot of extra busy work so its almost impossible to fail. I would highly recommend taking chem 1 and 2 with caswell.

Dr. Caswell is great. I took the online class for CHM 2046 - 3 tests and the final (4 total). He gives you homework for every chapter and a lot of time to do it on Pearson + 2 fixed assignments/week. HE WILL LITERALLY GIVE YOU THE EXAM QUESTIONS BEFORE THE EXAM, but without the same numbers/chemicals. He is easy to get in touch with + accommodative

Mr. Caswell is a freaking awesome professor I would take his course every day and every year Go Caswell!!!
