he is good

I felt that dr. campbell was fair. although it was by far my most difficult class, his class was one of the few times here at lcc that i felt like i was being expected to perform like a college student. very quick, very dry humor that is borderline genius, but you know you shouldn't laugh...he's that tough. i 4.0'd the class, but it was tricky.

Professor Campbell can be very strict and tough on his tests. Orgo 1 and 2 were the two toughest class I've EVER taken, I made it through both Orgo 1 & 2 with a 3.0 (so close to a 3.5) with professor Campbell. I felt that I could've done better if I tried harder, but I believed professor Cambell tries his hardest to help his students learn. I respe

I took him a couple years ago for orgo 2 and lab. Yeah, he's tough, but you learn far more about how things actually work. Most teachers just have you memorize things, this guy just makes you think. (god forbid) He's tough in lab, but it's good for you if you are a chem major. The real world is just as tough!

Anybody taking organic chemistry I would recommend him.I hated Orgo but he was very organized, and available 4 days a week to help you. People who say he is mean, rude and horrible, mean to say he is strict. He is very nice and helpful, and has a great sense of humor. There are easier teachers for Gen Chem. It is very possible to 4.0 this class.

very clear in teaching concepts. extremely hard but helpful. He is the person to learn from if you are serious about learning. If you are not serious about learning, look elsewhere.

Very demanding of his students, but always available for help outside of class. If you plan on screwing around on his class, prepare to fail. If you really work hard and go to him with any questions, you should do fairly well in Campbell's class. He's a pretty funny guy, too.

He's easily the funniest teacher I've had in a while (we're planning a "Magnus bingo card" for finals week). He's very organized and clear in what he wants, and is always available for help. Consequently, his exams are murder, and his quizzes are just smaller exams (~4 pages). Biggest advice: take him, but use the book whenever possible.

I took Magnus for orgo II and I must say this guy is the most polarizing man on campus. It's either you want to hug him, or you want to send him a death threat (he's gotten them before, lol). Orgo is basically a hazing session as is, and Magnus truly kicks it up a notch. If you 4.0 this class, you can get probably get through grad school.

Dr. Campbell teaches his classes like they are taught at universities. THIS IS A GOOD THING. Since I am not going to college to be BFFs with my professors and, you know, learn stuff, I liked him-his class was hard, and I worked my butt off. He is very helpful, appreciates and recognizes when you come to him. Do what he asks, and you'll do well.

This dude is hilarious! The only bad thing is that he does NOT offer extra credit :( and is extremely picky. Beware, he does mark you down if you misspell words or have the wrong heading. But don't get me wrong, he is an extremely nice instructor and does explain things very well. In addition, he only tests you on what is covered in class!

He's tough, there's no doubt about that. But he really is always available for help, and he frequently asks for questions, and always answers them, plus will work with you during office hours. He tries to make his lectures interesting, and while he is probably the harshest grader, it's worth it if you're going into a chemistry-heavy field.

Dr. Campbell's teaching style is unique. At first I was highly intimidated by him but as the semester went on I began to respect him. My advice to you would be to study the notes that he provides. Be quiet, respectful, and attentive and he will treat you professionally! Overall I WOULD recommend his class...don't let his personality scare you away.

Dr. Campbell is an excellent professor. He's really smart and helpful but expects a lot from his students. If you study his notes and talk to him during office hours he will help you....do not be afraid.

This is not an easy class and Dr. Campbell finds a way to make it even more difficult. The best advice is to ask as many questions as you can and and don't give up. You may not pass with a 4.0 or 3.5 but passing is definitely possible.

Class and material are very hard.Doesn't answer q's in class because there is too much material to stop for q & a's,but he makes himself available by phone & office hours if you need help.If you don't study and do your homework you'll fail.He is very structured, gives you what you need but it's college and he won't hold your hand.

Magnus has quite the reputation on-campus; don't buy into it. Orgo requires a LOT of work regardless of the instructor. Magnus is one of the most organized and orderly professors I've ever had- knows his stuff. He will help you if you ask. GO to office hours! Study lecture notes. Try to pick up his subtle hints on test ?s. Pay attention to details.

Magnus was the best chemistry teacher I have ever had. He explained complex orgo concepts clearly. They don't call organic chemistry a weeder class for nothing, this class is hard. The tests were reasonable, and yes there were students who failed, but it is organic chemistry. If you are a chemistry major, you must take Magnus. He is the best.

Very clear and helpful if you're willing to put forth the effort. Go to his office hours and ask questions. Read the textbook, do your homework. He isn't very personal with students for the most part but he is an excellent instructor.

Dr. Campbell is a wonderful teacher. He is constantly making himself available for students during his office hours. Students need to realize that they are the ones that need to put in the time and work to pass. He respects students that work hard in his class. This IS a difficult class, but he is a good teacher. He is very organized and prompt.

Dr. Campbell is a great professor. If you put in the work, come to class, do the homework, and utilize his study materials, you will be fine. He makes pop culture references and jokes in class to try to keep it somewhat interesting. He wants his students to do well. Always encourages questions and office hours. Very thorough in lectures as well.

This class is difficult. It is Organic Chemistry, so you are going to have to put in the effort and not be lazy about it. Don't complain. Ask for help if you need it. Form study groups. Do not coast in the beginning because it does get harder in the end. Magnus has taught me a lot in this class and I would take another class with him.

YOU HAVE TO GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS. He is a very nice person and is willing to take the time to go over the material with you. Also, if you go to his office hours he will help you with homework, exams, and quiz questions. If you don't pass this class it's only because you didn't ask questions or go to his office hours. Also the book is not needed

I understand Magnus has a lot of bad reviews and a lot of people avoid taking his classes but he is one of the most helpful teachers I have ever had. He is VERY tough but if you want to pass the class, and go to him during office hours, you WILL pass. Even though I may not ever four point one of his classes I will always choose him as a professor:)

Pay attention, be polite and respectful and you'll do well. Do all the homework, print out the practice exams and class problems from D2L, and study these before each test and quiz. The nomenclature handout from the first class, you must COMPLETELY MEMORIZE before the first quiz. If he doesn't tell you *not* to memorize something, memorize it.

Genuinely cares about and wants his students to succeed. Lectures tend to be long and boring and exams are tough but doable. Overall, his class wasn't a terrible experience but isn't one I would want to go through again.

Excellent teacher. Grades tough, but gives extra credit and gives you some choice of which problems to answer on tests. Helpful in office hours. Don't argue with him, be polite, show up to every class, study like mad, do all the homework (that's where the extra credit is) and you'll pass with a good grade.

Dr. Campbell is a very tough grader and expects a lot of his students, but it is definitely possible to do well in his class. If you show the initiative to go to his office hours and ask questions, he will do what he can to help you understand the material. If you show up at class, do all of the assignments and practice problems, you will be ok.

Dr. Campbell is a great professor if you try your best in his class. He's willing to help you during his office hours. Pay attention to the questions he asks in class because they will be on your exams. These are hard chemistry courses so they require a lot of time and effort. All the best!

Off the start of class he seemed intimidating, but once you get to be around him he is actually a really cool guy. Do all the work, and listen to the questions he asks in class because they will most likely be on the exams. The exams are tough, but he will always be available to help you when needed. Great professor overall, he does his job well.

Dr. Campbell starts off intimidating, but he is an excellent teacher. He is serious about organic chemistry and wants you to succeed, but you will have to put forth the effort. Attend the SI sessions and go to his office hours. He is very knowledgeable and will help those who make the effort. Don't afraid to ask questions if you are confused.

Awesome Professor

Nice Guy, Tries to be funny, Tests are tough but he will give a little leeway on his grades. I don't think he should be your prof for intro chem classes, but he will help outside of class

By far the best science teacher I have had. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OFFICE HOURS. He is available before or after class almost everyday. If you go to office hours, he will do everything in his power to make sure you get a 4.0. Don't need to take many notes because he prints of slides before the unit. All around great class. Be ready to learn a lot.

I would not have done as well as I did without his office hours. I recommend everyone to take advantage of those if you plan to take his class. Did everything he could to help me succeed and has a good sense of humor.

I thought Magnus was a really great professor. The class itself is really tough but he is always willing to answer questions and explain things better after class. You will need to study material on your own after class but if you work hard you can do good in the class. Only con is he is a really tough grader!

You're going to either love him or hate him. Come to class with the desire to learn chemistry and put in the effort and he'll match that effort to help you excel. Every test grade you receive is the test grade earned. He's there to teach you Chemistry and teach is what he does well.

This was the hardest class I ever took and I have never cried so much. Regardless, this class prepared me so much for my future education. Campbell teaches so that you KNOW the material for future uses. After his orgo classes and transferring to a higher institution, I am ahead of my peers in orgo knowledge and understanding. 100% worth the tears.
