The classes i took from lund were very difficult, but possibly because i made them even more difficult for myself. I showed up for only 50% of the time for 1061. I enjoyed 1062 a lot more than 1061 though because it involves more math, but the math is not too hard. Make sure you take good notes, read the book, and study hard!

He is very smart, but his teaching is hard to understand. He states what you're learning about, then he just goes right into examples. he doesnt explain things, what they mean or why their improtant. Also, he acts like he is way better then the students. I think that he treats students like their dumb and below him when they ask him questions.

Best science teacher I've ever had thus far. His tests are pretty easy if you study and take notes during his lecture and from the book. At the end of the semester he drops your lowest exam score, MC quiz, and lab score. He doesn't round your grade even if you're at the border but he's awesome. He engages during lecture and makes it interesting.

Great Professor. Caring of his students and wants them to succeed. Uses Mastering Chemistry online and kind of has a lot of homework. Most is extra credit. Gives chance to do extra credit from the labs that they don't schedule to do in class. I hated science/chem before I took this class. Lance made it really fun. Would definitely take him again.

I really enjoyed Lund's class. He gives really good lectures and he posts them on d2l so if you couldn't make class you still have access. I would recommend going though, as he does demonstrations and gives a couple opportunities for in class extra credit. He is very strict with his grading and does not wave from the grading standards posted.

He does alot of fun experiments in almost every class. His lectures are clear with the ability to review through D2L if you miss class with extra supplemental guides. Do not miss lab! Will drop your grade significantly. Extra credit,which at times repeats in homework. Do end of chapter questions for exams. Labs-no fire/explosions , fairly easy.

I just want to say that I had to do a lot of outside research and YouTube to understand the content we were given. One thing that would happen a lot is, when we would be taught one thing in the lectures, the quiz and problems that followed were sometimes completely different and required you to do outside research to probably still get it wrong.

Lance Lund had a well laid out course since day one, in the syllabus he had a schedule on when everything was due so you wouldn't forget. while there was a fair amount of work he had it all evenly spaced out making it easier. he knew how to work D2L so things would show up when you needed them and would stay hidden if you weren't ready.
