Mr. T is such a great teacher. I have to admit I was kind of scared of how hard I thought Chemsitry was going to be until I took his class. He is very helpful, and wants everyone to pass, so he offers study sessions which help a lot and pretty much tells you exactly what to study. I highly reccomend

Mr. T is amazing, he brakes down the subject for anyone new to chemistry. and if after that you still don't understand you don't have to be scared to ask. He makes the subject interesting and keeps you awake. But don't be fooled when he tells you you don't need to turn in homework, you still need to do it in order to do well

Will not go into detail about material he doesn't think you need to know, which is nice, but if you're a chem major I suggest you stay away.

Extremely easy teacher, but you will not learn much. Although he has review sessions for tests, he does not explain chem well, so when you go to do your lab, you will not understand the lab. If you need to take Chem beyond 101, I don't recommend him. you will not be prepared for any higher chemistry. NOT recommended.

If you need to take an easy class to pass, this is it. If you want to learn something, don't take this teacher. He is nice, he is helpful, but he is not teaching for you to learn the subject, but only to pass. Sorry, it's the way I see it.

Tinnirello is an awesome professor. He really breaks chemistry down so that everyone can understand it. He'll answer any question, and will answer it multiple times happily if people ask the same one over and over. There's a quiz every class, but its very easy and there's always lots of extra credit. You can use a cheat sheet on every test/quiz

Took him for lab. All the work is done in groups, including the midterm, final and all tests and quizzes. Open notes, open book and you can work with a partner. Easily approachable, laid back guy. Hes actually surprisingly very funny if you listen to what he says. Not much else to say, Id take him again.

I enjoyed chem 101 because of him. Made it super easy to understand. Clear criteria. Extra credit should allow all to pass easily. Sweet man, be ready to study and put in the work and you can easily get an A! Wish he would teach more chem classes.

I never took chem before. There's no reason for you not to pass unless you're seriously not even trying. If you're struggling (I did), then you bought the book, so use it! If you need more clarification ask Mr. T. Do the optional hw to remember how to do the problems. Your lab group has 3-4 ppl you sit with on the 1st day, so sit with smart ppl!

I was nervous taking Chemistry but Mr. T made it a breeze. He gives extra credit and whatever he teaches in class is whats going to be on the tests. He provides hand outs to help you how to solve certain problems. He definitely made chemistry a lot easier than I thought it would be. Definitely take Mr. T!!!

This professor made things way too easy. His class wasn't challenging in the least. We hardly did labs and were dismissed early most of the time. Lectures were alright; he's good at simplifying complicated subjects. However, I didn't even spend one second studying for this class and I got an A. That's how easy it was!

Mr. T is great. He understands this is an intro course and makes sure you understand the fundamentals. He does exactly what he says he is going to. There are quizzes every lecture and he offered extra credit on top of it. If you do not pass this class with a B or better you are just lazy. He was awesome!

Mr. T was one of the best instructors that I have ever had. Very caring and straight forward. Realistic about expectations in his class. Rather than sit in class writing notes for lecture, he worked problems out to give us the practice. He also gave quizzes every class that were used towards extra credit. He's an awesome teacher!!

He was an easy A for such a difficult subject! He really explains everything in a way many students can understand if paying attention. Although he does not require you to show up to every class, you'll want to go so you don't miss any lecture. Gives extra credit during every test so there is no reason not to pass! Great teacher!

Loved Mr. T, very caring and offered extra help if needed. 10 quizzes, a midterm and a final. Thats all he has on the class. No papers, no projects. I also took the lab with him and it was the easiest lab i have ever partaken in. Only complaint is he would give harder questions on the midterm/final.

I would take the class again if I could. I passed anyways though. This was a tough class to take in winter intersession. Im sure I would have gotten an A in a regular semester. He is sweet, hilarious, and answers any questions you have if you dont understand something. Hard course but he helps you through it. Thanks Mr. T!

The test is taken in groups so if chemistry isn't your strong subject you will have help from other classmates in your group to get a high score on a test. Homework isn't graded but should be competed to prepare for test.

He's a good guy but teachers so much it fries your brain. Keeps you in usually until the last second of class. You have to write out and show your work on test NO MULTIPLE choice. When it's test day he goes over new chapters instead of reviewing for the test. You don't know your grade unless you keep track of how many points you earned on quizzes.

Pay attention to his lectures, whatever he is teaching for the night will be on the quiz. Ask questions hes very understanding and witty. Always print out his notes and cheat sheets. Your lecture grade is solely based on quizzes and he doesnt do retakes so you need to pay attention. Homework is recommended but not required, do it if ur struggling

Gives extra credit questions in quizzes and exams. HW assignments were not turned in, only lab. I recommend do HW assignments, quizzes and exams are based off of the HW. Study and you will pass

Mr.T was amazing!!! I can literally not stress it enough. His tests were the same as his teaching material and a lot of the questions that were on the tests were questions in the book. Definitely would recommend. Sometimes his way of teaching certain things was difficult but using Melissa and Matt on youtube helped out SOO MUCH!!!

As a OSD student, I took this professor during Spring "2023" he is very respected and caring. He would tutor some of us for 1+ hour on his day off. He gave a lot of examples and more. He showed that he cared for his students, knowing that chemistry is hard but he finds way to make it easy. Very few quiz/test with E/C to help. Great Professor!!!
