He is a good teacher just needs to work on staying with the class scedule more. I think he would be a much better teacher if he had more time to teach.
He was a decent teacher. it was hard to understand some of the material but overall it was a good class.
REALLY GOOD OVERALL, EXPLAINS VERY NICE. THE ONLY SUGGESTION i WOULD MAKE IS TO NARROW DOWN TO KEY POINTS SOMETIMES WE WERENT AWARE OF WHAT WE HAD TO STUDY FOR EXACTLY.
Lectures were very to the point. The study guides for the online readings easily prepare for tests. And take notes in class, because he explains concepts very well, he is usually concise in the info given. PAY ATTENTION the first week because he explains crucial assignments that are worth a lot of points, which some people didn't understand somehow
This class was just really all over the place. I think that if we actually went into detail of what was going to be on the tests than it would have been better. I felt like I would study hard and then still get a bad grade because of the way the tests were set up. I don't think that it was good for him to say he was learning the material with us.
I really liked him as a teacher. If you do the work it is a really easy class. Some people said he wasn't clear on what they needed to do but I don't see why because he explained it almost every class period. He would sometimes post assignments late but then he gave us extra time to do them.
This was an interesting class. You can tell that he really enjoys what he is doing. I feel that he does try to make it so possible for you to do the best. He is very willing to work with you if you have a problem. I would take this class from him again.
He is a really nice teacher, you can tell that he really enjoys what he is teaching the class. He is super willing to help you if you have problems. The assignments are pretty strait forward. I would recomend this teacher.
I liked this teacher when he actually gave us information that was on the test. Half the things that were talked about weren't even on the test. For the course I took, he didn't know the material so he was learning with us which also made the class not that interesting or worth my time.
I like Bro. Rawlinson. I really enjoyed his class. You have to be on top of your work, because he doesn't spoon feed you. If you just do your homework/assignments and study for the tests, you'll do fine.
He really is a good teacher but it was his first time teaching a overall science class, since he told us that he is actually a chemist. So he's not a bad teacher but he just needs to get into it. It's very easy to get a good grade if you do the assignments and study groups. You don't even need to do that good on the tests and you can pass.
Was confusing at the beginning of the semester. Was late posting some assignments before the due date and still required us to finish them. He didn't seem to be too knowledgable about most of the stuff he was teaching. I didn't find much interest in the class.
Overall, this was one of my best teachers here on campus. I have learned so much more about science foundations than I thought I would and, it was fun to learn to boot. I give this teacher a rating of 95% for being humorous, kind, caring, respectful, crystal clear on explaining the curriculum, and not being leniant on the homework.
This class was his first time teaching it and he didn't do a very good job. It isn't that he didn't know his stuff, he just never taught this before so we were all lost.
he is a good teacher but it would be helpful if he posted things for hw early so that we can get it done in time.
Interesting lectures. The test were hard.
He is a good teacher, but he needs to make his tests and things more relevant to what we need to learn rather than try to memorize specific things from our reading.
He's a terrible teacher!
This was his first semester teaching this specific class but He just goes off talking the whole class. He never clarified what was on the tests. I was confused the whole semester and i didn't learn anything from going to class. He really needs to learn how to actually teach. He knows the material but doesn't help you to learn it.
Brother Rawlinson is passionate about science so it made class interesting for me. The class is large but he is willing to help if you seek it. The online readings were helpful. Overall, I enjoyed taking this class from Brother Rawlinson even though science is not my passion.
i think he was a good teacher, just needs to explain more. maybe have each student do groups in class and not take the whole time and talk but explain what is going on. i liked him though.
I learned more than i did before this class, but i feel i could have learned more
As a professor you can tell he is knowledgable in his area of emphasis (chemistry) but the class calls for the teacher to be up to date on several different areas of science. In my opinion this is one of the hardest classes for a science teacher to teacher because they have to be well rounded in several areas. He is an ok teacher but hard class.
Overall OK. Lots of reading sometimes the terms are hard. Test are confusing make sure that you read them well. Homework assignments I which that he could of post them earlier. He is did great for the first time teaching the class. I wish that this class could be more hands on instead of having him talking all the time. Always in a hurry in class
he often kept us after the end of class. would sometimes focus too much on the little things that weren't as important and then run out of time and rush through the important stuff. he graded the group assignments ridiculously hard and almost never gave full credit for completion. not exactly my favorite teacher but i guess he's bearable.
he is very easy to learn from and he grades some tests on a curve. hes helpful to those who have extra questions and his assignments arent too difficult.
He is a good teacher.Not the best but a good one
I thought that he had a firm understanding of chemistry and was able to teach it well.
I took CHEM 105 from Brother Rawlinson. He is very passionate about CHEMISTRY and loves to teach it. His tests are difficult but he prepares you well for them. I would recommend this teacher to anyone who wants to know their stuff for the ACS Final.
Brother R did okay teaching the material, but the tests were always really hard. I think that was more the departments fault than his. There was a LOT of work to be done for just a foundations class, but it was more time consuming than hard. But if you do it all it is really easy to get a good grade
I learned a lot but i did not feel like i was ever ready for the tests. I do not think that time in class was used vary will.
Great guy, really wants to help you learn. He will do all that he can to help you understand. Do the homework, and you will do good. Also He's As Hot as the SUN!!!!
I really like this teacher. I learned a lot in his class and I hate science. It's true that his test are hard if you don't do the readings. But if you pay attention in class you'll get a good grade on the test. If you fail the tests and you do all the assignments you'll get at least a B. I would take him again. I Strongly recommend him
Good teacher. First semester teaching this class so I think it was a little hard for him. Tests are hard. Study a lot and you will do well. Do the reading it helps a lot. Weekly assignments are easy
Nate Rawlinson enjoys teaching science. His excitement for the topic captivates the class! He is willing to help and answer questions.
Good lectures, things were very clear. Not a lot of homework just a lot of little assignments. He is a really great professor I would definately take a class from him again.
Great teacher! Willing to help and is interested in your well-being in the class. Hard course material, but if you have adequate amount of time to study and read the material, you'll be fine. He makes chemistry fun!
THe class was exciting. It was mandatory to read and turn it in at the beginning of class, then review questions as a class for participation points. My favorite were star points. I wish we would have reviewed before submitting hw. Bro. Rawlinson was available outside class to help. He has a very loud, resonating voice, and good sense of humor.
He is a good man, but i never felt ready for a single test. I did all my HW and readings and still struggled to get a hold on things. You just never knew what was going to be on the test.
He was not too hard as a teacher. The material was difficult. The work load was moderate. Over all not a bad teacher. I have taken two classes from him.
He is a good teacher. His material is online and articles that you read. I highly recommend the reading, it's on the tests. Other than that it's pretty much straight forward, just weekly assignments.
Bro Rawlinson is an awesome professor. I had a great time in his class and gained an interest in chemistry that I had never had before. I wish I could take 106 with bro. rawlinson but he doesn't teach it. The only criticism I have is that Bro. Rawlinson is not a Kobe fan, I guess we all have our flaws. Except Kobe!
He is a great teacher. I think he was a little overwhelmed this semester but he seemed to handle it very well. The class is really easy if you do the assigned readings.
He's a good guy. Very good natured. Enjoyable class and makes things fun. Mandatory to do homewok in his class but it helps and promotes understanding. Good course
I actually thought that alot of the stuff that he taught was useful to my knowlege. But at times it was just way to hard to understand for me.
Pretty average teacher. Class was kind of boring. Tests were hard to study for because we didn't cover very much material at a time and so we were tested on pretty minute details.
He's a nice guy.
he is a good teacher just not for this class. the class needs to be evaluated by the school.he will help if you seek it. the work is a must and largely left to you own.
Nice guy. He certainly tries his best and after a couple more semesters, he'll be a great FDSCI 101 teacher.
He was a very good teacher. I feel like he had a really genuine interest for what he was teaching and that made all the difference in the world.
He was funny and a pretty cool guy. He's young and it shows that he doesn't have as much experience. But he's not an awful teacher. I'd take from him again.
I really enjoyed having class with Bro. Rawlinson! There were some assignments that I would have liked more clarification on, mostly about the diff. between the group report, and the weekly report.
Brother Rawlinson is a great teacher! I enjoyed being in his class.
He's a good teacher. a lot of tedious work but over all a fun class if you like science
NOW YOUR MATH, ITS NOT THE TEACHER THATS HARD, ITS THE INFORMATION IN THE BOOK!!!
I have taken this class before in High School so i understood what he was teaching, but others might not have. I thought he was a pretty good teacher
Great guy, very enthusiastic about chemistry and has a good sense of humor. He knows his material.
I enjoyed the class.
Good class. Science isn't my favorite but he tried to help us understand.
Professor Rawlinson is very passionate about what he teaches.
Great teacher! Chemistry is always hard but he makes it more fun and does a really good job of teaching. He is way easy going as well. There is homework every day but it is easy and it definitely makes the test easier.
Professor Rawlinson is a great professor
I took chemistry 105 a couple years ago and got a solid C in the class and left without knowing anything about chemistry. I got an A with Brother Rawlinson because of how interesting and fun he made chemistry! I enjoy chemistry now and would definately take another class from him. I recommend him to all my friends for chem 105!
I started this class terrified because, I had heard how hard it was. However after a while I realized that I enjoyed the class. Brother Rawlinson teaches well but, sometimes quickly. Take advantage of the oportunity to go and see him at his office. He will help you really know the material if you do. Study every day in this class!
Brother Rawlinson is a great teacher! You can tell just from the way he teaches that he loves the subject. With chemistry being chemistry, the material is rather difficult at times to understand. He gives daily homework and quizzes on each chapter. But as long as you attend class, take notes, and study you'll do great! I strongly recommend Bro. R.
I was lost until the man of my dreams cleared my mind and taking my hand led me to the light of Chemistry
I'm not good with chemistry, but Bro Rawlinson is a good Prof., and will help you understand any questions you might have in his office(and it doesn't hurt to bring him some starburst on occasion).
I heard this class was going to be hard, and I had never taken a chemistry class before, so I was a bit worried. However, I really enjoyed this class once it got started. You get a daily homework of about 5 problems, usually it doesn't take more than an hour to do. Class is easier if you have some math skills. He's a funny guy. Mention startbursts.

Good teacher. Homework daily but it good and not extremely hard. I like him alot. class seem clear and explains well to my understanding. you shouldn't be diappointed in the class if looking to learn or for an easy going class. test are difficult at time with wording but must study before or know material

This class is hard like all Chemistry classes, but Brother Rawlinson is helpful and will meet with you outside of class. Take the time to read and study and you should do fine
I really liked this class. He was very good at explaining things, and he gives you lots of chances to earn points so if you are a bad test taker you can still get a good grade in the class. He also offered some chances for extra credit. I highly recommend him, especially if you've never taken chemistry.
Easy going professor, loves to help students. Quizzes and tests were a little challenging. Have to be sure to study for them. Homework was reasonable and helpful.
Brother Rawlinson Is a great teacher, he is fun and always has a enthusiastic attitude towards class.It is a hard class, Homework every night. The test were really hard. You will have to study hard for the class but he's still a great teacher. and He always dresses good :-) Very colorful.
Really good professor, tough class, but what chemistry class isn't tough. He takes time to teach you in his office and will even skip his lunch to make sure you understand. Makes class fun, and gives u a chance to do well, if you work hard.
Brother Rawlinson was really good to work with. He really tries to help his students understand. Very strict however when it comes to homework. DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
Bro. Rawlinson is a hard teacher but chemistry is a hard subject to teach as it is. You will do well if you pay attention and do your best.
Way cool guy and good teacher. Does a great job of expaining things cleary. Always willing to help. Really seems to enjoy what he does.
Bro Rawlinson does a very good job explaining the material and at answering questions, the class is tough, but if you ask questions Bro. Rawlinson will always help.
He's really willing to help you when you need it.
He's always willing to help when you need it.
Really good teacher. I was worried about chemistry, but Brother Rawlinson was a really good teacher. He is really good at answering questions. You have to study for tests and quizzes, but the homework is really helpful.
Amazing teacher. I very strongly dislike Chemistry and still enjoyed going to class every day. Very clear and helpful, and will do just about anything to help you out. Also, his breath always smells like lemons which is due to the fact that he once inhaled a lemon starburst, the remains of which are no doubt still clinging to his alveolar sacs.
He is very clear and precise. There are no surprises in his tests. If you have to study for the tests but he tells you what kind of problems are. This is a great class to be in. The labs are useful.
Great teacher. It is a hard class and he assumes you to know a lot of things. i recommend takig CHEM 101 before taking this class. He is really funny and has great stories that make class interesting. Tests and quizzes are quite hard. Lab every week but isn't ever hard. Over all I recommend him. Mention starbursts!
Lectures are very helpful but tests are very tricky!
Great teacher, except at the end you have a lot to do because he wants to do 4 tests plus the final so the end is kind of crammed.
he is pritty good.
Difficult subject and lots of work but he makes the information easier to understand. Great teacher.
Rawlinson is a very helpful teacher. He will spend a lot of time with you outside of class so that you can understand the material. His test and quizzes are challenging. He gives homework assignments everyday which are very helpful on keeping you on track and keeping up with the class information. Plus his eyes are like sparkling diamonds! :)
Tests are all multiple choice, if you know basic algebra and can memorize a couple things you'll do fine. It is a difficult subject, but he allows lots of opportunities to earn points besides tests. Requires an I-Clicker, but its basically free points.
Brother Rawlinson is very helpful and always willing to stay after class a little to help you further if necessary. You can really tell that he cares about his students and that he wants them to understand the material.
The curriculum is rather hard takes A LOT of hard work, tests & quizzes lots of homework (like every night) but it helps. The professor does well at making things comprehensible.
Great Professor, very helpful. It is a tough subject but he does very well with it.
Bro Rawlinson is a pretty good teacher he's only been teaching for 3 semesters and does a good job for having only been teaching that long. Tests are hard and he does not curve like some of the other teachers in the department. Grade may not reflect how much you worked. Be prepared to do lots of hw which aids in learning. Good Luck!
He's a nice guy, but the course is really tough. Homework isn't too bad each night, and he tries to have an even mix of odd (answers in back of book) and even numbers. Tests were killers for me, But he's very helpful if you go into his office. The only problem I had was participation points where you had to get up and explain a hmw ques.twice
He was really helpful when you asked questions. But he sometimes was confusing.
Very helpful, willing to stay later if you do not understand. His tests are do able if you study. Even though chemistry is not the subject for me I was able to understand it.
Difficult subject, but he makes it easier to understand. Great teacher.
He is a good teacher. he is willing to help when you ask for it. He does good examples in class and is funny. The course and the material is harder. You have to dedicate time to this class. Homework is assigned pretty much every day.
Chemistry is difficult, but when you put effort into it, I would say he is very fair with what he expects. And gives quizes that accurately quiz you instead of what I heard from other professors as having quizes not well written as to ability to know basic aspects you learn. I would highly recommend him.
Way good teacher. He is interesting when he lectures and he is always willing to help. He goes over the homework and it helps a lot.
The class is hard but he is very helpful when you don't understand something. he makes everything pretty clear. If you work hard you should be fine.
Very good teacher. Explains things very well and takes time to help you understand the material.
Hes a really good teacher, knows chem really well and does a good job using visuals and analogies. Expect HW every night, a quiz every chapter, and a test every two or three. Also hes a pretty funny guy...Just look into his eyes and you will know everything will be alright. Hes as hot as the sun.
Just remember to ask him about the starburst
I really appreciated Bro. Rawlinson. He cares about his students which makes me want to do better in his class. He teaches really clearly and will take time to answer your questions. I took him for Chem 105 and loved it. I studied every day for the class and it really helped me learn. It's been said previously, Chem is a hard subject;requires work.
Pretty awesome teacher. Go in if you have questions, he's always happy to help. Yes the class will be difficult if you don't do the reading, but he does try to explain all of the topics. But be careful...he tried making us ice cream but he's so hot that it all melted.
Bro. Rawlinson really loves chemistry and is great at explaining it. Last time I took chemistry was in high school; I hated it. After Bro. Rawlinson, I actually enjoyed it. Attendance isn't mandatory, but it's very wise to go. The book isn't very clear.
He was a great teacher that really wanted to make the class fun and intersting. He enjoyed what he was doing and did want his students to have fun and understand.
The material was gone over a number of times, and the repetition was useful to learn the information.
Rawlinson is enthusiastic about his work...a trait that people need to have in any job, especially teaching. He spends lots of extra time outside the class to help his students not only with course material but also advice regarding career choices in the medical field.
Good professor, easy to understand,explains question that make it so you understand.
Bro. Rawlinson is a great teacher. You can tell he loves Chemistry and cares about his students. He's helpful in explaining difficult concepts and is very encouraging. He doesn't swamp you with too much homework. His tests are difficult and worth a lot of the grade, but class was always fun and I knew if I needed help Rawlinson was there.
Brother Rawlinson is a great teacher. The class can be hard if you don't have a good background in chemistry, but he is open to questions and helps students that ask.
Bro Rawlinson is a good teacher. Chemistry is hard, and this class is no exception. However he will help you. His entire class is designed so that you can pass. If you do all the work, you can make it through. He likes questions, and generally just wants you to succeed. If he taught 106, i would have taken it from him too.
Good teacher but just is very hard to understand what is expected on tests and course work and is renown for giving homework he hasn't lectured on. Would NOT take another class from him.
Bro. Rawlinson uses many techniques and has good examples that you go through in class. He's very open for in class questions and has good office hours. He covers the material thoroughly and can work one on one with TA assistance. If your not doing well in this class, your not taking advantage of office hours or the free tutors.
Amazing class. Do not listen to the person who commented before me they are completely wrong. Chemistry is a tough subject no matter who you take it from--they just couldn't handle the subject. He teaches very well and want you to succeed. If you have to take this class take it from him!!!!!!!!!!!
Brother Rawlinson is a very good chemistry teacher. His lectures and homework assignments match the tested material exactly. No obscurity, no guessing what he wants. This is a hard class, don't take it unless you need it for your major or unless you just love chemistry. But if you have to take it, I would recommend Rawlinson.
No matter who you take Chem from it's going to be hard, so you will have to do work to succeed. I am not a fan of Chem and it's confusing, but if you attend class and do all the homework; even if you do bad on tests, you can pass this class. The teaching method he uses is good. He lets people participate so that helps too. He's a good choice.
Class is not mandatory but you it would be crazy not to go.
Brother Rawlinson is a great teacher, the course is hard but he is willing to help anyways he can. his office hours are very helpful.
I think that he is a great teacher and expects a lot of his students. Homework is all oriented to preparing us for lab work and tests. I wish that he offered CHEM 106.
He is very good at teaching and than testing on what has been taught. Grades are not based solely on exams which is a big help.
He really knows his chemistry. He is also really helpful and has a great sense of humor that will make chemistry fun.
Great teacher, now that doesn't make chem easy but I would take another class from him for sure.
He is very good at keeping everyone's attention in class. He teaches at a level that allows those who don't know chemistry as well to be able to excel while being hard enough to challenge us and grow.
He assigns a little homework every day that correlates with his teaching which really makes sure that you understand what was taught. Everything on the tests has been talked/taught in class. Class attendance is vital to keep up.
His class was good, it was what I expected. Keep up with homework, but some of the tests can be tricky. So be sure to take your time on tests and quizzes. He will make sure you understand the material and if you dont his office hours are very useful as well.
He teaches with energy, and enthusiasm. knows his stuff and his helpful in answering questions and is really good about helping out during office hours
Great teacher, explains everything well. Chemistry is a hard class but he is a lot easier than the other teachers
Hard class but he is an excellent teacher. Don't take it from anyone else.
Brother Rawlinson does a great job at teaching the material he covers. He is really enthusiastic about the subject matter which helps a lot. He uses visual aids as often as possible and is really open for any kind of student partisipation. All in all I would recommend him for anyone taking a chemistry class.
He answers questions from homework, quizzes, and tests. Encourages students to figure questions out together. Clarifies if you still don't understand. Very willing to help outside of class. Very organized. Follows outline/power point slide strictly. Tests are challenging, but nothing is new-he covers everything. I?ve recommended him to many people!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I loved Bro. Rawlinson as a professor. He is there to help the students and does a good job explaining the subject. There is homework everynight but it isn't busywork it really helps actually. The tests and quizes were fair and if you did the homework and study they really aren't bad. Excellent professor for difficult subject!
Brother Rawlinson is a very enthusiastic and helpful teacher. He is organized and clear in his expectations.
He's the man, chem can be a challenging course, theres no getting around it, the best thing about rawlinson actually isn't really about how he teaches, its the fact that he actually cares about you. he wont cut corners or fudge numbers or give enormous amounts of free points, but if your struggling go to his office, he'll help you
Awesome teacher. He takes the time to go over problems and help us understand the material. His exams can be disgusting, but, admittedly, they really make you think and go beyond the standard problems in the textbook.
He's a really great teacher. Every day we can write homework problems on the board that we struggled with and need help on. I really liked the atmosphere in his class; you can ask any question and he won't make you feel stupid for asking. Be prepared though to do at least an hour worth of homework problems and reading every night.
Chem is always hard & stressful. this is my second time taking chem and i felt like i learned so much more and he taught 10 times clearer too. You will have alot of HW & a quiz almost every week. Labs are what brought my score down and didn't really help for the test, just busy work. Make sure to check your lab w/ others in the class
The epitome of what every Chemistry teacher should be at BYU-I. He knows where we come from because he went to school at here too and he makes Chem fun, not to mention he makes and gives you ice cream at the end of the semester! If you put in the effort and time you will get an A. Take advantage of his office hrs, study hard, and go to lecture!
Brother Rawlinson is a great instructor! Chemistry is a hard subject, but if you put in the effort you can do well. He is more than willing to help when students ask. He takes the time to make sure that the students understand the concepts being taught. Brother Rawlinson wants to help you succeed.
Fun teacher. Forthright. Young dude right now (4/11). Knows his stuff. Willing and patient with you when you have one on one questions.
Bro. Rawlinson is bomb! Really good teacher. He is very willing to help you with you work when you need it. Good at explaining things. The tests are pretty hard that's the only thing that is a downside. Bro. Rawlinson is into basketball and march madness which is really cool!
I thought that the class was well organized! there is a lot of work but I really enjoyed him as a teacher.
Great teacher. Willing to work with you, pleasant attitude. Tests are worth a lot, so STUDY. Homework doesn't change your grade much, unless you don't do it. Overall, good experience, would recommend.
He is a good teacher. His tests are hard, but it is a hard class over all. Overall I would recommend him.
Awesome teacher. He knows what he teaches and cares about feedback. Homework is mandatory but I found it a nice padding to my grade.
Brother Rawlinson is a great teacher! He explains everything really well and wants all his students to succeed. He gives homework assign everyday and you will get points for them. His tests are manageable and he teaches a lot from the book which I don't mind. I recommend him for sure.
Bro Rawlinson is a good teacher. Its chemistry so im not going to say its easy, but he does take time to help. The class is based on exams. HW should be graded on completion in my opinion but in this class its do it and get graded on 1 problem. No study guides for exams and HW doesnt get back to you until after the exam is over so read read read!!!
The class was good for the average student. As for me, it didn't cover anything I hadn't already learned somewhat in high school. He was good at explaining concepts. HW, tests, quizes, and labs helped the learning process. For me, however, there was too much busy work.
He's awesome. Expects a lot out of the students, but after all, this is college. He rocks. If you have to take chem, make sure you get him!
Great teacher
Very helpful. He has a genuine desire to have his students do well. Test are a little on the hard side but a good grade is possible with work.
he s a really good teacher. i really liked the class
hard class, requires a lot of effort he works hard though to explain things and help you understand
GREAT TEACHER!
If Im an H then hes an H because he finishes my duet
Grade not based on tests. goes at class speed. explaines material in way evryone will learn it. Makes class fun and is funny. Deffinetly take 105 from him. makes chem not as scary as everyone makes it
You're great.
He does a great job of explaining the subject. He know's what he's talking about. In regards to the class though the book doesn't help nearly as well as he will so ask a lot of questions! he doesn't intend to make you feel stupid but he's blunt with his answers. I give his over all rating a 10 out of 10.
He is the best chem teacher that you can get at BYUI, honestly. He is a fun guy that is willing to help anytime. chem is just a hard class so be willing to work but you definately want him!!
Brother Rawlinson is awesome! He's always willing to help you out and really tries his best to make sure you learn the material. Sometimes he's hard to follow when he shows you all the different ways you can do one problem, and there would be days where I couldn't understand anything he was saying, but that's Chemistry. It's a tough class!
Great teacher. Very enthusiastic and knows his stuff. I would recommend him, especially if you're a beginning in chem, since he is great at explaining concepts and really cares about the student's learning.
Awesome teacher. Easy to talk to. Class is as fun as chemistry can get. This is my first time taking chem, but I know I'd take it again from Rawlinson in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.
He's a great teacher. Chemistry is just tough no matter how you look at it. If you have to take Chemistry, take it from him.
This professor is really good! I actually enjoyed coming to this class and i was able to stay awake because lectures are well organized and he definitely likes what he is doing! every day you will start the class from returning your homework assignment! If you have any questions on it you can write them down on a board and someone else who knows th
Awesome teacher
He's very helpful. He cares about you learning and understanding the subject.
He's a good professor. His tests are really hard, but he curves the overall grade so hopefully that'll make up for it. I'd suggest taking this course from him.
He was a great teacher, moves at the speed of the class, best chemistry teacher you could ask for...I highly recommend Him.
He is a great teacher. Of course the class is hard but thats chem. He is always willing to meet with students and explain things. He even stayed after class durring his lunch a couple of times to help me work through some questions i had. If he was teaching 106 i would take him again.
This course really was great. It was demanding, but it's chemistry so that should be expected. Brother Rawlinson is young and energetic, gives really great examples in class, and is a very fair and helpful teacher. I recommend him to any and everyone.
Bro Rawlinson is a great teacher. He's personal and easy to feel comfortable around. He explains concepts simpler and clearer than other chem teachers (esp lemon). I definitely suggest him over other teachers esp if you're not familiar with chem.
He is a really great teacher and class was not boring at all. Also the exams were not bad for me. if you visit his office, he helps you very well. I'll definitely take his class again.
He is the man, you have to work hard but come on its chemistry, He is pretty stinken good and if you are a lady you will probably find him attractive
Brother Rawlinson is the man. He is extremely fair. He really tries his best to be a good teacher. There is homework each day. Quizzes on every chapter and a test every two chapters. All of the tests are based off your understanding of the concepts taught. If your looking for a good Chem. 105 teacher, this is your man.
Great teacher. tests are difficult. he is always there for help when you need it, organized class. isnt an easy class, study, read and do homework and youll be fine
Rawlinson is an excellent teacher. He is really willing to help his students.
great teacher, just work hard on keeping up on the information.
Brother Rawlinson is one of my most enjoyable teachers. He makes class interesting and is good at answering questions. He wrestled in high school so not a complete nerd, but still a self-professed chem nerd. Fun class
He's one of the better chem teachers at ByuI. The Homework was managable and he is very willing to help students outside of class.
Instruction is often unclear/confusing. Could be put into simpler terms or more conceptually explained.
I loved this class, Brother Rawlinson is probably the best professor for this course.
He's bold and straight to the point. If you want an A, DO THE HOMEWORK, and don't underestimate the iclicker questions, they save grades. Work hard and be prepared for class and you will do fine. He is willing to work with you after class if you have any questions.
Some teachers make you feel stupid but he tries to help you and he will try to help you until you will understand the problem
He's very helpful and tries to make things fun. The best part is that he takes the time to review tests and quizzes in class.
Professor Rawlinson is very helpful. He always stays in class after lecture to answer any question and help you with your homework. He give out homework almost everyday but not a lot, but it is very helpful to learn how to do everything. I thought that the final was easier than his tests. He is a lot of fun in class. He makes it really interesting.
Brother Rawlinson is a VERY good teacher! He makes sure that you understand the content and he is excited to help you understand better if you are struggling. He's not going to make you feel dumb because you didn't understand it the first time he taught it. I highly recommend taking his class! :)
Brother Rawlinson is easily the BEST chemistry teacher I've ever had. Chemistry didn't start making sense to me until I took his class. Great teacher. Highly recommended!
He is a very good teacher. He is very helpful. If you do the work, you can succeed in his class. He wants everyone to do well.
Really good at using the learning model. He made sure we had opportunities to teach each other, participate in discussions, and gave credit for coming prepared to class. Very helpful and willing to work with you.
An exceptional teacher! He understands what it is to be a student and then uses that knowledge to make the class better. He Doesn't assign busy work but just enough for you to understand the concepts taught in class. Very conceptualized teaching which makes learning an easier experience. Shows not only how to do things but how to remember them too!
Brother Rawlinson is a very good teacher. I feel like he understands his students and knows what they are going through. He teaches very conceptually which really helps when trying to learn chemistry. I would recommend him to anybody any day!
Great teacher. Very willing to work with you to help you understand what's going on. Make sure to study for tests as they can be difficult but not too hard. I would definitely take another class from him!
He is very willing to help his students out. He is patient with those who do not understand the material and tries his best for us to understand it. There is a lot of material to cover but he does an excellent job covering the most important topics. Overall he is a really good teacher.
This is a tough class, but he makes it as easy as possible for you. He is so willing to help if you just ask. He does a great job of not moving on until everyone understands the material.
Bro Rawlinson is a great guy. He grades on homework, labs, and tests. His tests are difficult too! He wants you to learn the principles of everything he teaches, and he will test you on things he does not teach. Study at least 10 hours per week, and teach other people to understand it better. I am not a genius and i worked VERY hard and got a B-
Bro. Rawlinson is an amazing teacher! He understands his students needs and he will make sure that everyone understands the topics he is teaching. He cares about you and wants you to succeed. I highly recommend taking him for chemistry because he clarifies things and makes chemistry fun. :)
Bro. Rawlinson is a teacher that is there for you and wants you to excel. He gives homework assignments every night along with reading that is required but it helps to understand all of the concepts needed to do well on the quizzes and tests. He is also willing to go over any questions you have outside of class.
Bro. Ralwinson is continually there to help out his students, he wants everyone to excel in this class. Homework is given out every night along with a reading journal, but it helps to understand the concepts to apply for the test and quizzes. He is always there to help anyone outside of class as needed.
He is a great teacher and teaches in an understandable way, even though the subject is hard. He helps you understand, not just memorize. He gives lots of opportunities to earn points. Very willing to help. If you have to take Chem 105, I would definitely take him!
All chemistry classes are hard, but as far as teachers go, brother Rawlinson is fantastic. Very willing to help and is very enthusiastic about it. Makes class fun and not only passable but very possible to get an A. Would Highly recommend him to anyone who needs to take the class.
study hard everyday. Always time in class to understand he will never run over you. It is important to him that everyone understands the concepts.
Very good class. People say it's hard but all you have to do is study. It's Chemistry, the subject is hard, but if you put it the time you will get a good grade! Bro.Rawlinson is very clear and tells you what he expects! Love the class and LEARNED a lot! READ the Textbook and be careful with the test, it can be tricky but not too bad
The class is very well taught. Although it is a hard class, he makes it understandable and easy to learn.
brother Rawlinson is able to lay things out in a clear and basic level, that even simple minds was able to grasp the difficult subject. it's not an easy class, but it is possible to do well if you put in the effort, and study. my recommendation is to read on time every time, and to keep good notes as you go.
I did not think Brother Rawlinson explained things well sometimes. He often would not explain concepts and just expect us to be able to do the homework. He assigns reading (of which you have to keep a journal for)and homework every night. Has chapter quizzes and tests. He has a passion for teaching, wish he would have explained the concepts more.
Great teacher, super helpful. Chemistry is difficult by itself but he takes the time to accommodate the class and individuals very well.
Prof. Rawlinson is great! He teaches well and expects you to know your stuff. Bottom line, Chemistry is hard and requires a lot of your time if you wish to do well.
Bro. Rawlinson is an amazing chem teacher, but that doesn't make chem really easy. It takes a lot of effort and commitment, but if you understand the different principles behind the chapter, and especially in the homework problems, then you should do fairly well on the tests.
He has the ability to boil it down to bare essentials so that you really understand the material
Brother Rawlinson is Awesome!!! I really enjoyed his class. It was hard, you definitely need to know your stuff.
Great Chem teacher. Obviously it's still going to be a tough class-- it still is chemistry-- but it helped a ton with a teacher like Rawlinson. He is always available to help his students. It's easy for me to get bored in my classes, but his class flew! He has a great sense of humor, always willing to help, and is really a great teacher
Brother Rawlinson is super smart but he can explain chemistry on a basic level. The subject matter is difficult if you have not taken a chem class before. Make sure to study everyday or else you will be lost. Brother Rawlinson explains things well and is always there to help you out when you are in need.
Brother Rawlinson is a great teacher. He makes chemistry fun and easy to understand.
Brother Rawlinson is an excellent teacher and invite all those with no chemistry back ground to take his class because he will really help you understand the concepts. He is also a very fun teacher and keeps the class periods moving forward. TAKE HIM!!!
Brother Rawlinson is AWESOME!!!! He teaches you to understand the concepts... not to memorize a bunch of tables. (there is a little bit of memorization, but if he can help it you won't do the memorizing unless it is absolutely necessary.)
This is a hard class and it requires a lot of work, but Bro Rawlinson is a great teacher. His homework assignments are designed to help you learn and class time is pretty helpful. Go to the tutor sessions! Plan to spend several hours a wk with the hw and you'll do alright. Study the book. Take notes as you read. Do practice problems. Good class!
I had Brother Rawlinson for chem 105. I've taken this from other teachers and he is the easiest, but only because he teaches the best and most clearly. It is a hard class, but he does the best job teaching it. He is also really nice.
Great teacher! Love his class.
great teacher! extremely hard subject but taught better then most ive heard of at school. always there when you need help and teaches clearly and challenges you. homework due basically every class so you have to stay on top of everything. hard to catch up if you fall behind because the class moves fast.
You will have to work hard. If you want an A you will probably be studying 2 to 3 hours a day. DON'T FALL BEHIND. Be consistent with homework and reading assignments and you will be fine.
Great class.Teaches something till you understand it (usually) sometimes he moves really fast during the class period and end up doing not so great on the homework. Great chem teacher.
explained things really well
Brother Rawlinson is the best! He is very helpful when you need it and usually really clear during lecture and if you have questions he will always answer. He is really fun and passionate about what he teaches.
Brother Rawlinson is a great professor. He is extremely thorough in making sure students understand the material, and also easy to talk to and ask questions from. His tests are fairly difficult, but if you go to class and stay on top of the homework and readings you'll do fine. Overall he does a great job!
Great teacher. The subject is hard, but he makes it easier by answering every question and good office hours. His door is only open. I wish he taught CHEM 106.
Bro.Rawlinson is the man!! He is probably the best professor I've ever had. He is really in it for your learning and will do anything to help you do it as long as you're willing to help yourself. Awesome!
Very helpful. You must do your part, but he will help if you need it and ask for it. He will always take the time to explain things until you understand. This is one of the more difficult subject, but he is clear and precise in his methods. Serious about the subject, but is fun at the same time.
Great teacher. Makes sure everything is clear and is always willing to help outside of class. It's not an easy course, but the way he teaches sets you up for success if you do your part.
Rawlinson is a good teacher. He is always willing to help. He can explain the material clearly. The exams are difficult.
He is a great teacher! He is always willing to help you understand the material. I love how he takes time in class to go over the homework problems that you don't understand. (Plus you get extra points if you teach the hw problem to the class) I highly recommend him, very helpful and willing to work with you untill you fully undertand the problem.
I had to retake chemistry and thought I'd give Rawlinson a shot. In my first class with Bro. Ott I was floundering. In this class I actually UNDERSTOOD the material! He is very helpful, takes time to explain things, and he isn't boring at all! I HIGHLY recommend him. He is the reason why I am passing! He is an AWESOME teacher!
He was an excellent teacher. He was always willing to help and explain concepts more clearly. The exams were difficult but he helps prepare you.
Such a great teacher. always helpful. tests are hard. Do practice problems in the boook :) Uses some question from quizes for exam.
I really liked Brother Rawlinson. He is a great teacher. You can tell he really cares about his students and wants them to do well. He also loves chemistry and will work with you if you are struggling. I would strongly recommmend taking chem 105 from him. He know's his stuff and even though it is a hard class if you work hard you will succeed!
He does have you take notes on the sections he assigns but that is one of the reasons why I did good in his class.
I only had to take it once. Thank goodness. Thank Rawlinson.
Br. Rawlinson is a great teacher and creates a fun and comfortable atmosphere in the classroom. Chemistry can be a very challenging subject but Br. Rawlinson provides the students with many ways to practice the skills learned in class. He gives daily homework assignments, daily reading, quizzes over each chapter, lab reports and tests.
Good teacher loves what he does. He has you take 4 tests. At end of each chapter you have a quiz. They alternate between take home and testing center. Hes willing to help you after hours. His manorisms can come off a bit over confident or even cocky. His numbers might be a inflated because he gives extra credit for posting about him. Great Teacher
Great teaching methods. Keeps class attentive. Quizzes at the end of every chapter. Exams at the end of every two chapters. Well organized.
Rawlinson is a pretty cool cat. Does a great job of explaining and helping you understand what you read from the book. He's got a sense of humor as well which is nice. Overall, I highly recommend taking chem 105 from him.
Great teacher. Only bad thing was students would waste time on unimportant questions and Bro Rawlinson would answer them. So I would leave class confused. Other than that he taught everything really well.
Bro Rawlinson is by far probably the best chem teacher at BYUI. He is entertaining as he flails his arms around to explain chemistry! Very animated, very helpful, and really helped me alot!!! he is also very personable and understands that college kids have lives outside of school:) YAY BRo Rawlinson!
My heart yearns to be in his class it's that good! And he's a hottie:) lol. Here's the thing: Do your homework, go to class, study, study some more. He's more than willing to help you understand however his vocabulary is high in caliber. I wouldn't take it from anyone else. WARNING: His tests are VERY conceptual so know your stuff!
He knows the material very well, but I learn the math material in a different way than he teaches. He also teaches everything after we take book notes. I find it much more useful to learn in th classroom and then take notes. Just don't get overwhelmed when he sometimes assigns a little homework without even teaching the material. It happens.
Great teacher. You have to be sure and go over the material yourself if you truly want to understand it. He may assign homework over things you have not went over, but oh well. He is always there to help answer questions too. Great class.
He is a great professor who relates to the students and teaches at student level. He rely gets to know the student so he can help them on things they are struggling. The one thing bad about the course is the chapters that are group together on the tests don't always relate but that is do to the book that is used for the class. He's the best teacher
Brother Rawlinson does an excellent job at explaining things in class. He'll answer just about every question. He's extremely helpful after class hours and is always willing to explain things further if you stop by his office. Solid teacher. Maybe even my favorite so far.
I have never had anyone else, but I really like they way he is organized and the way he does things. I thought that he was kind of merciless, but I heard that other teacher are much worse. Chem. really isn't that hard as long as you have time time
One of the best professors I have ever had. He is humble and one of the nicest people you will ever meet which are rare qualities among the chemistry department. His test questions are all conceptual so be ready.
He was a very productive, helpful teacher who tried to make the materials as clear as possible and is very willing to work with you if are struggling. It is still a hard class, chemistry is hard, but with all the help tools he offers it makes everything easier.
It is a tough class but I feel like he was very fair. The homework really helped prepare for the tests, it was also graded which I liked because it gave incentive to do it.
Chemistry is hard, regardless of the teacher. Bro Rawlinson is loud and engaging, which helps keep your interest. Makes tests harder than they need to be. No mercy. Other than that, just fine as a teacher, and recommended.
He is a great teacher his tests are hard. I think out of all the chem teachers he is probably the best one.
Brother Rawlinson is the best teacher on campus!! he is super nice! He is always willing to help you and will work with you until you get the concept down!! he is the best!
He is a fairly new Professor and he brings a lot of enthusiasm to the class. Chem is a hard course, you have you to keep up on it, but he will be there to help. He also gives you plenty of ways in class to improve your grade.
He is a good teacher but a hard grader. Does not give many exceptions.
I really liked how he structured the class. HE was willing to come in the evenings for review sessions around finals. He seemed to care if you understood the material. This is a tough class no matter who teaches it. Put lots of hours in, do the homework he assigns you. It will help tremendously
Can't write a test to save his life. Take if you want to do bad every test. Studying doesn't help.
Dumb class. Tests are hard.
Brother Rawlinson is probably the best chemistry professor there is at BYU-Idaho. I have other friends that have taken Chem 105 and they struggle immensely. He tries to explain everything he can and show different examples. He is always willing to answer questions, Lots of points available so your grade doesn't depend on the exams alone.
Bro rawlinson is the bomb. getting a B would be easy. but if you want an A you'll work for it. his teaching style id really clear and he is very helpful if you have questions. test and quizes are straight forward. the Lab was the downfall of the class. it boring, complicated and he grades it meticulously
Rawlinson is one of the best professors I've had at BYU-Idaho. If he was teaching CHEM 106 I would gladly take it from him. He assigns readings and homework from the textbook that are due every class (I-Clicker questions for readings). You have to know this stuff for the test anyways so it doesn't feel like busy wor; it just boosts your grade.
Bro. Rawlinson is a great teacher! Talking to other people about their chem teachers he seems like the one to take it from. He is great at helping you with labs and homework, great teacher.
Bro. Rawlinson is a stud. I loved him as a teacher and I loved learning chemistry from him. He made it fun and exciting, and the mandatory homework everyday helped me learn a ton more than I normally would have.
The class is really tough at times but Rawlinson is awesome at explaining the material and helping you when needed. Diffidently the best teacher in Chem 105.
Really great chem teacher, goes over things until the class seems to get it and will work with you outside of class. Chem is not easy, but he tries to cover the concepts so you can do well on the homework, labs, tests and quizzes.
Even coming to the class with a comfortable understanding of the material did not make me comfortable with the amount of homework. Liked him in class but thought him sadistic after every homework assignment. There were also several times he accidentally tested us on things he hadn't taught--no points back. Should be worth more credits.
Brother Rawlinson is the teacher to take Chem 105 from. His tests are the most fair of any Chem 105 teacher and he is more than willing to help you out during office hours or any other time. The homework and other assignments he gives really helps your grade if your not the best at taking tests.
Fantastic professor. By far the best one who was currently taking 105. Homework every single day form the textbook. Initially I believed it would be a detriment, but it created a reservoir for doing poorly on a test. Helped out when solicited. Fantastic teacher.
This is a difficult class, but Bro Rawlinson does a great job at explaining things. He gives very helpful insights and tips, and he is willing to help students outside of class. He helps keep class interesting and fun. He loves Chemistry, and you can tell that he really does care about his students.
Great teacher! I was able to understand. Not too overlly time consuming. Bro. Rawlinson is very willing to answer questions outside of class. Made me not dread Chemistry. Overall good class!
He was an exceptional teacher despite the fact that I had no interest of chemistry.
Good teacher. He's good at teaching things clearly, and willing to help outside of class. If you understand the homework he assigns, you'll do well.
Good teacher. He teaches with clarity, and is willing to help outside of class. If you understand the homework he assigns, you'll do well.
This guy is a great teacher. He is really knowledgable, and willing to help his students understand the information. If you want to do well in Chemistry, take it from Bro. Rawlinson...k?
You'll have reading and quizzes for each class as well as study groups weekly. He's a good teacher, he'll explain things if you don't understand, but his tests are pretty hard.
Br. Rawlinson was a very helpful teacher! The tests are 5 times harder than the quizzes so beware! This class moves fast and requires a lot of out of classroom work. The best way to study is probably in groups. Overall, a pretty hard class that requires a lot of hard work
Amazing professor. Chemistry can be a hard subject if you have no background in it, however, Brother Rawlinson does a great job at helping everybody to understand it. If you have never done chem before, get ready to put a lot of time into it if you want an A.
I have Taken 105 from another Chem. teacher and brother Rawlinson teaches amazing compared to the other teacher. He teaches every thing that you need to know for the ASC final.
Tests were difficult but if you put in the hours, you can pull a decent grade.
Brother Rawlinson is the best teacher we have for CHEM105. He explains everything so clear and easy. You have a lot of extra work, but those will help you bump up your grade in the end. His tests/quizzes are not that hard, if you stuff and know what's important. He is the best!
Class was very challenging but the way Bro Rawlinson has his class set up is very helpful. A lot of extra points from homework, quizzes, and reading journal. Great teacher who wants you to do well in his class.
Brother Rawlinson is a very excellent professor. He requires a lot of work, but it helps so much to do it. His tests are very fair and he is very good at explaining difficult concepts.
Brother Rawlinson is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He loves chemistry and has a passion for his work. He really cares about the students and does his best to help everyone understand the material. I highly recommend this teacher.
Really good teacher he was super excited about the material and made me want to do my best. He was open to any of our questions in class and tried to answer them as best he could. The textbook was really important in combination with the notes and class lectures in order to keep up with the material. Overall good class!
Brother Rawlinson is an awesome teacher! He always kept the class engaged in learning and was very willing to answer any question. Make sure you do the reading,homework, and ask questions and you'll do great in the class! On the quizzes and tests there are always a few really really tough ones...know the concepts!
What a great teacher! Not a fan of chemistry, but he made it bearable.
*Such* a good teacher! I would recommend him to anyone, and I would definitely take a class from him again
Great teacher learned a lot very helpful.
Brother Rawlinson is one of the best teachers I ever had. He made chemistry interesting and fun; granted, the class is hard, but he is really helpful in taking time to explain concepts and spending individual time with students. A great man to be around and great professor! I really want to take another class with him!
I really love Brother Rawlinson as a professor! He is always helpful and tries to make concepts clear and understandable. He takes real interest in his students and tries to make it interesting and fun! I really want to take another class from him!!
Brother Rawlinson is a fantastic teacher, he makes material understandable and talks at a level that everyone can understand. He does everything possible to help his students succeed and you can tell that he really cares about the students that he teaches. Compared to other teachers he assigns more work, but it is all extremely useful and helps.
He was a great teacher. I found the reading wasnt too bad...the tests were good and consistant with the material that we covered. I would recommend him, and he is willing to answer questions. He was a little unorganized at the beginning, but it got alot better toward the end of the semester. Take him. :)
This was one of the hardest classes I've taken in the 3 years I've been going here. The material was scattered around and the tests were based on both the reading, projects, class, and previous tests. Questions were worded weird and hard to understand. I will NOT be taking this teacher again when I get into chem.
He was and always be a perfect teacher.
