He is so boring and very very very monotone. He doesn't teach anything. All he does is reads the lecture notes verbatim. The class started out having about 300 people in it and now there is only 30 people that come to class. He never usually never lets class out early, and when he does, he makes the class stay after the next day. Horrible teacher!!

Dr. Myrick is not as bad as people say. If you put some effort into studying you will do good. He's always willing to help you during his office hours most people just don't take advantage of it. He's very nice. If you tell him ways that he could improve he will try them e.g. study sessions and less calculations on tests.

He's an ok teacher for upperlevel students but for Gen Chem he is poor. He tries to change his methods to suit the class, but he just can't relay the material to the students.

He isn't a bad teacher, he ATTEMPTS to make a joke once in a while. I personally saw no reason to go to class, except to find out when owl was due, but if you read the book, do owl, and go to him for help... you should be fine. He does his own study sessions but only before a test. I wouldn't make any recommendations on whether or not to take him.

Not too hard, just study. Do the OWL and do well in the labs and you will pass. Notecard for tests so put what you need on it. He's not horrible but kinda boring. The material isn't that bad to understand on your own, either. It's mostly problems, not concepts on the tests. Freeman is (from what I hear) a lot easier, but Myrick isn't too bad.

Professor Myrick was a nice guy. Class is just him reading off slides and doing extra practice problems, but his explanation of what's on the slide is essential to understanding the material. Long story short: show up, study using some of the numerous practice tests he posts, and you'll get an A. Tons of easy extra credit is available too.

Good teacher. Gives extra credit for attending SI sessions. There's a lot of homework problems but its the same as every CHEM 111 class at USC. You're gonna have to study the material a good bit but again thats the nature of the class.

Generic chemistry but pretty difficult class. Myrick is the best to take for it, he gives a lot of pep talks and gives extra credit for attending SI or getting hw done early. You should go to class as the concepts can be hard without seeing them in lecture.

Professor Myrick does his best to ensure all his students have the tools they need to pass. He is very active in the class GroupMe even at midnight. The in-class explanations of problems are crucial for succeeding, and iClicker attendance is taken. It's a challenging class, but with Myrick's help and a little bit of effort you will do very well.

Lecture can be hard to follow because hes very smart so he talks about things we dont need to know that are more for upper level classes so going to SI and doing the practice tests help. He provides so many resources to succeed and gives a lot of extra credit for each test. He is also very willing to help you and has provided many ways to do so.

Gives 6 extra credit points for each exam and 20 on the final for doing the homework early. Really approachable and understanding.

Dr. Myrick is super smart and at times it seemed like he had a hard time bringing concepts down to our level of understanding. Confusing lectures but does not try to trick you on exams (will drop hints at what's on the exam), and he let the final plus HW count as your class grade if it was better than your grade with the 3 exams. Really nice guy.

His lectures felt like it was him solely deriving an equation a thousand times and there were not many example problems that he does in class. Half the class was failing and half the class was passing so he allowed for the final to be the overall grade + homework as your average if you did well on the final.

I don't know if it was just because the class was online, but the schedule was absolutely chaotic. We would have a few weeks of hardcore lectures, homework, and practice exams, and then a one week break before the actual exam, which might sound nice, but he moved so fast that the one week break was not enough time to teach yourself everything.
