he is the best teacher if you are looking to learn something. but he's hard as hell.

if you want an easy class take someone else if you want to learn take this class

You will definitely learn a lot in his class.

Horn is a character. He is a very good teacher, but class is very hard. What chem class isn't hard though? His tests only have 6 questions on them each and it takes you at least 4 hours to complete. He thinks up some pretty tough questions. He wanders around the room, and dresses unbelieveable

I really liked him & his way of teaching. His class is tough, especially if you have no science experience, but he will help you understand it.

Matt is a great guy, but an incredibly hard teacher.However, I learned so much from his class. He's great about answering any questions you have. You'll leave the class feeling like you really learned a lot.

This class is very hard. Tests are 5 questions and they take about 5 hours because they are essay plus they include everything that you have learned throughout the semester. You learn a lot but sometimes it seams like he is making up his own science.

Matt is very intelligent when it comes to chemistry. Probabley the hardest teacher I have ever had, and I have had hard classes. But he was a great guy and willing to help and try to explain things to you. If you want to learn chemistry, take it from Matt, but if you want an A take it from another professor.

This class kicked my butt, but I LOVED it. It was totally doable and if you take the time to understand it you can't do wrong. He's fair enough to teach you what you'll need to know. He's always willing to take the time to make sure you understand it. For my first science class as a Freshman it was a little intense but I'd take any class from him.

Do not take this class if you need an A. I never missed a class, spent over 20 hours in the tutoring center, wrote almost every word he said, and I (was) a straight A student. Most of the tests are based on class notes, and when he makes mistakes in his teaching (which he does), you are screwed.

He is extremly difficult and you have to spend many study hours to even get a decent grade. If your not ready to work very hard on this subject then you probably shoudn't take this course from this teacher. Though I know when I take it over again it is going to be a breeze.

This was a very difficult class, but hey its chemestry. I got a B and studied myself mad for it. Horn makes class enjoyable and interesting. This class is possible with hard work. Tests are the hardest part! My advice is to make best friends with the peer tutors who know Horn's testing style, and visit them often- 15-25 hrs. a week.

Matt is extremely intellingent and teaches his basic classes like they are upper division. Chemistry is hard enough but he makes it much harder. He does know his stuff really well and is a good teacher. He cares about the students. If you want to learn chemistry take this guy. If you are looking for a passing grade take someone else.

Matt Horn is a good teacher, but is also a hard teacher. He teaches the material very well and makes class somewhat entertaining. If you want to learn Chemistry take his class. If you don't want to learn about Chemistry and just want a good grade don't take it.

Matt is hilarious! Very entertaining class. I really couldn't get enough of his bow tie. He definately knows chemistry. All-in-all it was a very difficult class, but when you really have nothing better to do than cram 18-25 hours of studing in the three days before each exam you can do quite well. it wouldn't hurt to flatten out the curve a little.

Horrible Tests

Horn is one of my favorite teachers ever. His classes are huge and yet he tries to teach everyone individually. He will bend over backwards for anyone if they ask for it. He has a reputation of being difficult but on average, people do JUST AS WELL in his classes than any other teacher, and also understand the material far better.

The class starts out really tough and stays like that for most of the semester but Dr Horn is very helpful and has a very unique ways of teaching. It was worth it.

Very hard material. Make sure you read and take notes on everything...he writes fast. Funny guy. Even if you get a wrong answer on the daily quiz, you still get 2/3. Plus he offers a couple ways of getting a little extra credit. He'll help you if you don't understand something. I've heard worse about other teachers, so he might be the best one.

I loved his class, he is very difficult, but an amazing professor. I really feel like I understand chemistry after taking it from him. His tests are painful, but he grades on a curve. He is very fair, and really knows how to make a difficult subject interesting. I would take every class that he offered.

Great teacher but hard teacher funny people who left comments saying he ruined their dream of medical school. If you can't pass his class you wouldn't have made it anyway. Gamani's O chem tests are like 20x harder than Matt's. He teaches clearly and is very entertaining is class

He's a tough teacher, but he's very fair. He is the most entertaining science teacher I've ever had. If I take anymore Chemistry, it will be with him.

Dr. Horn is a great Professor and is very knowlegable. His test are hard true however very possible. The trick is know his notes and dont slack off. On the test he grades heavier on what you know than if the answere is right. So if you have a date the day of the test cancel and spend as much time as possible unloading your brain to paper.

Professor Horn is not for the student who wants an easy A. He is an excellent teacher with an obvious passion for what he does and he cares more about a student's ability to comprehend the concepts rather than their ability to answer multiple choice questions. I have never worked so hard for a class and I have never learned so much.

Matt's class is awesome. You learn a lot in this class. You can tell that he enjoys what he teaches and makes you enjoy it as well. He's pretty hilarious also. The downside is that the homework and tests are very difficult. You will need to study hard or you will fail. Overall though, he's an awesome teacher and I would recommend him to anyone.

One of the best professors I've had. Nice to take a class from someone who cares if you actually learn the material, instead of holding on to it long enough to repeat it, and then forgetting it. Just prepare well for tests!

Best prof. I have ever had! He truly cares if you learn something. Hard tests, but if you pay attention in class and actually study you'll do fine. If you really want to understand chemistry and not just "learn" about it take Horn's class! In my opinion you're paying for your education so why not make the most of it and actually learn.

Good teacher. His tests are very hard. The daily quizes make sure that you read the book, but he quizes are basically on just like vocabulary so they are easy. Overall a good teacher.

This class was extremely time consuming for me. But, if you put the time in and do the work you'll love Horn. It feels like a good accomplishment to do well in a hard class and learn something rather than to pay for a teacher to hand you an A instead of an education. You might not care for chemistry, but you'll love Horn by the time you're done.

Horn is the only one to take if you actually want to learn. You'll curse his name, but secretly love him! His test are very difficult, but it's very possible to do well. Go to him for help if needed, he's more than willing and very helpful. DO the homework!! It helps a ton on tests and cushions you grade a bit in the end.

Daily quizzes and weekly homework will help your grade, his tests are in essay form and quite difficult. He knows his stuff, is extremely helpful to students and is quite funny as well. His class is very time-consuming, but you will learn chemistry.

Dr. Horn is a great teacher. That said be prepared to work if you take his class. His test will make you scream in frustration. You will know chemistry if you take his class and pass.

Professor Horn is one of the BEST teacher I have ever had. If you want to Learn to do chemistry take it from him. He really knows his stuff. I wouldn't recommend this class for slackers because it does require alot of time and effort. The best part were the exams, they are FUN.

Professor Horn FORCES you to LEARN MORE IN HIS CLASS THAN IN ANY OTHER CLASS YOUVE EVER OR PROBABLY WILL EVER TAKE!!his exams are difficult and FORCE you to KNOW thoroughly ALL information,BUT at the same time he makes his classes fun and keeps us awake through funny remarks!One part i love is that he says THANK YOU after every class!Thats respect!

Great teacher! If you are going to take any further Chem courses then it would be a good idea to take him. You will get a great understanding of concepts that will apply to future Chem classes. He designs his tests to test you way beyond what you are capable. He grades on a curve so that helps.

If you're looking for an easy "A", turn around and walk away from Dr. Horn's class. Although his tests are ridiculously hard, you will know (or should know) Chemistry when the semester is over. Overall, this class is freaking hard, but can be rather entertaining with Dr. Horns jovial remarks.

Dr. Horn's class was one of the most enjoyable classes. yes he makes his class hard but I remember everything he taught us and I loved how everything is connected through his class. If you are looking for an easy A this is definitely not the class for you... but we are in college... There shouldn't be an easy A. We need to work to learn.

Dr. Horn is incredibly well-versed in chemistry. There is no better class to build a foundation for chemistry. However, if you want an easy A, this is not the class. To get an A, you need to study hard, use the tutor lab and create study groups. But, it is worth all the hard work at the end of the day!

If you are looking for an easy A, then look elsewhere. You can get an A, but it won't come easy. That being said, I loved the class. He teaches theory, not just math and terminology. Be sure to stay on top of the homework and reading, and don't be afraid to ask him for help if you need it. After you take this class, all other science is easier

Dr. Horn is a great lecturer. I very much enjoyed going to class. As stated however, his tests are designed to make you cry like a little baby, and they will. However, it is designed to make you learn, and you certainly do, and they are graded generously. If I have an opportunity to take a chemistry class from him again, I will jump at the chance

Very helpful teacher, he lectures very little but very well. He answers questions clearly. His tests are incredibly hard.

Seriously loved this class. Dr. Horn is one of the best teachers I've had at UVU. He expects a lot from his students but if you keep on top of the work you will absolutely love him.

As has been mentioned, Professor Horn has switched to a teaching style where students teach each other and Horn himself simply answers questions. If you've taken Chemistry before you'll learn a lot from this class. If you haven't, you'll be drowned in information. Should you take him, take advantage of his office hours he will help with whatever

This course was more difficult than I expected from an intro-level class. Nevertheless, if you work hard, you'll learn a lot. Tests are incredibly difficult (plan on 2-3 hours ea.), but he does grade on a curve and is helpful if you take advantage of his office hours.

A lot of people don't like Dr Horn but I would say that he has been one of the best chem professors I have had. He's hilarious and you can tell he enjoys what he does. He's very approachable and if you show him that you want to learn the material, he'll like you. Cool guy in my opinion. Tests can be difficult but the curve is awesome.

professor horn give you the option at the beginning of the semester to determine how he weighs the grades and he is very fair. a lot of the work is done in groups and his homework is extensive but it was a very helpful study guide for me. just dont miss a single class period and do all the homework on time and you can pull of a B without much work

Great teacher, split you into groups and had you self teach and he was there to clarify any questions. Very little lecture but I felt like I learned the concepts better this way. Tests are hard but you choose how your grade is weighed (pick the 20-20-20-20-20) you'll know what I'm talking about if you take him.

This class has very little lecture, but when he does lecture PAY ATTENTION. Those concepts usually end up on an exam. You work out of a book in groups every class. 3 midterm exams written by him, final is a national exam, mastering chemistry hw each week. Would have gotten a better grade had I put more time into it.

This class requires alot of self teaching. I liked the class and the group that I was assigned to. YOU MUST GO TO CLASS!! He does in class clicker questions that are graded. He responded to questions very quickly. READ THE BOOK!! Make sure you know your stuff, because its up to you to learn the material. He doesn't lecture in class at all.

He is actually funny and very passionate about chemistry. He understands that this class is a lower level chemistry class and doesn't require you to know things above this class. He responds to questions quickly and helped with any problem I had. You are responsible to teach yourself. This class is in no way a breeze go to class and read your book.

There's not much lecturing, mostly group-work, and a lot of self teaching. A lot of people don't like the way it's set up, but I don't mind it. Teaching this way forces students to actually LEARN the material, and it makes the final a lot easier. The class isn't easy, but it's not really supposed to be. Get to know the people in your group!!

Prof. Horn's class is extremely difficult. Group work every single day. Daily assignments can be confusing at times. Exams are super frustrating and hard. The worst exam set up I've experienced at UVU. He seems super unapproachable in class. That being said, one on one, he is one of the nicest dudes. You can go to him and he will help you out.

He has you discover the chemistry. This has you understand why the rules are the way the rules are and understand why things work the way they do.

If you are planning to go to higher education in the Sciences, Dr. Horns class is for you! He preps you on how to see and study any science. It will probably one of the hardest classes you will ever take, but if you are on top of things and show up to contribute, you will leave Dr. Horns class feeling like you got more than your moneys worth!

This class was actually a 1 credit class. I actually learned content that i felt improved my life as well as my future carrier. I would take Horn again. He cares you actually learn instead of just jumping through hoops. I don't feel like any assignments were busy work.

Classwork is purely group work and almost no lecture, be prepared to do the reading before. He has found ways to challenge his class in ways I've never had my professors do before and it worked really well. He's really passionate about teaching and making sure students succeed if you're willing to go to office hours. Would take him again for sure!
