He uses Dr. Masterson's old tests, so get ahold of those. He is a summer teacher at USM.
Dr. Mann is the greatest professor ever. He is very kind and will help you if you need help in his free time. If you dont understand it he will talk with you until you do. I hope he will continue teaching because i know he helps alot of students.
Dr. Mann is an awesome teacher who is very approachable. Just pay attention and take notes and it will be crystal clear, I have a short attention span! Find something that interests you so that you can stay focused .
LOVE Prof. Mann. Friendly, approachable, and so willing to help. His grading scale is accommodating and reasonable. If you pay attention and have good study habits, there's no reason why you shouldn't do great in his class.
Mr. Mann is a great professor. He is the best chemistry teacher I have came by. It is easy to get an "A" out of his class. He will work with you. I wish I could take him for all chemistry classes. Again, if you don't take him, you are definitely missing out on the best. S.N. An "A" or passing his class.
Very considerate and understanding. Uses great examples to relate the material to the students. Humorous. Down to earth. Uses handouts instead of going through the text which makes the material easy to understand. Also uses class involvement at the board
Dr. Mann knows his stuff! He's very helpful and wants you to make a good grade. He responds back quickly to all emails and will always be willing to help you understand the material better. The only bad thing I have to say is that he speeds up towards the end of the semester, so you dont have a lot of time to learn the material.
Dr. Mann is an amazing professor. He always makes himself clear and makes sure that his students know the material. The only thing students have to do is come to class and pay attention. Plus, he curves grades, gives lots of opportunities for extra points, and tells nerdy jokes. He has been my favorite professor by far. TAKE DR. MANN FOR O-CHEM!
Awesome teacher!! I actually learned and understood organic chemistry for once in my life. He made it seem so clear, and if you didn't understand it, he made sure that you did before he moved on. I absolutely enjoyed myself in his class. He is an EXCELLENT teacher!
I really enjoyed Dr. Mann. He made this course very interesting although the level of difficulties. I hope that he continues to teach this course and wish he came to Southern as an official teacher.
Such a great teacher! Very smart and helpful if something isn't making sense. I would definitely recommend taking him for organic chemistry!
Made taking a summer course easier. You will learn a lot, even if Chemistry is not your favorite subject.
I really enjoyed this class. Before taking organic chemistry, I was scared because I heard how difficult it was. But Dr. Mann helped and made it really clear! He is by for one of my favorite professors at USM!
Mr. Mann made the first semester of organic chemistry interesting and broke it down so it was very easy to understand. The class kept students very involved.
Dr. Mann is a great teacher and a really nice man. He's very considerate, and he has great stories to tell ! :) He tends to start the chapters pretty slowly and then speed up towards the end, so make sure you stay on top of the material. Alltogether, he make organic very possible to learn
Dr. Mann is very helpful and makes organics more interesting with his explanations and story telling. He does not leave anyone behind; any question you may have, he will go into more detail to help you understand. Overall, Dr. Mann is a great teacher for intro organics!
Dr. Mann was great. I think his high school background helped out a lot but he broke down first semester organic chemistry so easy. He has been my best college professor up to date.
Dr. Mann is an amazing professor. This course is challenging and he always made sure we understood the material before moving on. He always stopped to answer questions and further explain the material if we were having problems. If you attend class and do what he says you will come out with a good grade in the course.
Mr. Mann is great at what he does. He's a very inquisitive instructor with immense knowledge on the subject of organic chemistry, he also goes out of his way to ensure students understand the topics of chemistry also.
Great proffessor! Makes organic easy to get. Very understanding, always willing to help his students. Best chemistry proffessor I've had in my college career!
Good professor! Is willing to work with you and help out in any way! Go to tutoring. This helped as well.
Really awesome!!!
The best chemistry professor I've ever had. Definitely take him if you have the opportunity!
I enjoy the way you utilize the board and take time to show us examples. I also liked how you show interest in helping student and give up Your free time for study sessions.
Explains material very well, interactive with the class as a whole, and willing to help anyone having trouble
I can honestly say that you are the best science teacher I've ever had. Amazingly, I'm enjoying Chemistry for the first time since starting college.
Great teacher and very friendly but class is extremely hard
After already taking this class under a different professor, I found Dr. Mann's explanations to be much more clear and easier to understand. The subject material is not easy, but Dr. Mann sees it as his responsibility to help his students learn and grasp the concepts.
I really enjoy Dr. Mann's class. He finds ways to relate subject matter in examples that everyone can relate to. Overall, he is very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the material.
Really great teacher, I had a hard time in the class but I don't believe it was the teachers fault. I have a hard time grasping math.
Pretty good teacher but studying for this class is mandatory.
Dr. Mann is very helpful in Inorganic Chemistry 2. Dr. Mann explains the chemistry to the students in a way to make them understand better, and I really appreciate that. If a student needs help, he will tutor them until they understand the material. Also, Dr. Mann is very funny, so class is a little bit easier to get through.
Very good teacher.
I leave class everyday having learned so much and feeling confident in my work. He likes class participation, but he doesn't make you feel dumb if you answer wrong. He knows his stuff, and he is able to relay that information in a clear and concise manner.
Dr. Mann is a great teacher! He is there to help you if you need extra help. When he teaches, he is clear about what he is talking about, and explains things very well!
Dr. Mann takes a potential train wreck of a class and does a wonderful job of making it make sense. He's available for questions in person or via email and does everything he can to help everyone understand the course material. Dr. Mann also does a great job of showing real-world applications for the material with his stories!
Dr. Mann is a great professor. Chemistry is a very tough subject to begin with, but he explains everything very well and does his best not to talk over students' heads. He's also very willing to meet out of class if you are not understanding the material and often does helpful reviews in preparation for exams.
Dr. Mann takes a difficult subject and explains it in terms that I can understand. I've learned more in his Chemistry course than any other Chem class I've taken. He readily gives help to all students that need help grasping the information and also gives great notes and packets to ready us for future exams.
Dr. Mann is an excellent teacher. He's really helping me understand the material even without a good background in Organic 1. He's also very understanding about homework assignments.
You're awesome
Very helpful
Awesome teacher!
This is Adriana Smith. You're a great teacher.. We need more chances to score because the test are hard.
Overall great teacher. Makes learning more fun
He's a great professor! Makes chemistry easy for me!
Great teacher
Great teacher goes into detail and will help you anytime
Really good teacher, gives very good example which helps out a lot, Tries his best to understand the students too.
Professor is very passionate about his subject matter. His lectures are very concise and keeps the student interested in the subject matter. I would recommend his class to anybody who wants to take organic 1 and 2.
Best chemistry teacher I've had in a very long time
Very good teacher. Straight to the point. Tests are fair. Very funny teacher.
He is very helpful and also relates what you learn in class to everyday life. He gives extra credit seldom but the extra credit would be relatively easy to obtain . He goes at a good and easy pace for the class.
Love him!!
His tests are easy once you learn how to study for them-he gives out worksheets which are helpful for studying.
He's a great teacher with a real passion for chemistry. He uses real world examples to keep students interested. His tests are hard but once you learn how to study for them they are much easier.
He was great. Love him!
Best college teacher I have ever had. Maybe even best teacher I've ever had. He will work hard to make sure you pass the class as long as you work with him. If you ever get a chance to take one of his classes I would absolutely say do it. You will learn a lot. Plus his stories a great!
Dr Mann is the reason I'm going to pass CHE 256 this semester. He is amazingly helpful. Go to study sessions!!!! He answers any and all questions, explains things in different ways to make sure you get the information. He really WANTS you to understand!
Dr. Mann is straight-forward with his lectures and is there if you need help
Outstanding professor! He really did save my career! He's the best!!
Very great teacher and probably the most intelligent teacher I have ever had. Class was very difficult for me due to the test format though.
AWESOME!!
He is a fantastic teacher, one of my favorites. Very clear in lectures and is very helpful.
Great teacher who tries to make a difficult subject as easy to understand as possible.
Very patient and willing to answer any questions the student may have. He cracks jokes during class and makes real life references that keep everyone interested. He's also pretty much a genius so there's that. I highly recommend him as a professor
Dr Mann's tests are pretty tough, but he gives you all the info and you can do well in his class if you do your homework and study.
Dr. Mann is a great teacher. he is always there to help and make the course as clear as he can. He takes his time with the class and makes sure no one is left behind. I would take him again and again if I could.
Dr. Mann is a teacher that truly wants you to learn organic chemistry. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you have to be there in order to pass the class. He uses his own workbook (instead of the textbook) that really explains things better; it makes chemistry much easier to understand.
Dr. Mann knows how to teach organic chemistry. He has the key in his teaching that enables students to understand the material. I enjoy going to his class; he is full of humor and always smiling. He makes the classroom a positive environment for everyone. Dr. Mann is very thorough and gives plenty of opportunity for extra credit and extra tutoring.
Dr. Mann was the best chemistry professor I've had thus far. His lectures and explanations were easy to understand and he did problems with the class in order to give the students a chance to become familiar with the content before moving on to new topics. His stories and jokes were hilarious and provided perfect mental breaks during lecture.
Dr. Mann is great at explaining the practical side of organic chemistry. He is very synthesis heavy and student friendly, and really wants students to get it. I'd highly recommend him.
If you get the chance to take Dr. Mann, by all means do so. He does an exemplary job of making challenging material interesting & breaks the elephant of organic chemistry into bite size pieces. Hes definitely made my list of favorite teachers. I actually looked forward to coming to his class. Great personality, funny, and a fantastic teacher.
Dr. Mann is very helpful and truly cares about his students.
It is definitely worth waiting until summer to take Organic Chemistry under Professor Mann if possible . He makes the material easy to understand and does not just read off of powerpoints and breeze through. His method of using worksheets for every chapter as well as using his own textbook definitely helped. I wish he taught at USM full time .
Great teacher. Knows his stuff. You have to study every single day to get a good a grade.
Dr. Mann really cares about his students. He supplies them with everything they could possibly need to succeed in Organic Chemistry. I wish I could have taken him for Organic 1 and for my first time in Organic 2. I would definitely tell anyone who is struggling with Organic to go take his classes.
Dr. Mann is an easy to follow lecturer who really wants you to know your stuff. He'll go over any concept, problem, or question as many times as it takes for you to understand it. It's also inspirational when he tells about his former students that have become doctors, pharmacists, engineers, etc.
Dr. Mann is an extremely devoted and thorough professor. He makes sure to cover all concepts that will be tested on and does so by providing numerous examples with various ways to perform different reactions. Not only does he lecture these examples but offers a workbook containing explanations of the chapters and additional examples. Great teacher.
It is definitely worth waiting until summer to take Organic Chemistry under Professor Mann if possible . He makes the material easy to understand and does not just read off of powerpoints and breeze through. His revision skills are amazing and it makes learning reaction mechanisms a lot more easier.
Great professor. I would take all of my chemistry classes with him if I had the opportunity. He really knows the material he teaches.
Dr. Mann is a wonderful guy, and a great professor. I would recommend taking Organic 255 from him before 256 because i had not, and it left me feeling very confused throughout the entire semester. Also, I took the 8 week summer course, which was more challenging as well. Awesome guy, but be prepared to work for it.
Dr. Mann is a professor who aims to really teach his students to understand Organic Chemistry. He challenges his students, but he is more than willing to help outside of class if needed. He has a good sense of humor and shares a lot of funny stories about past experiences he has had throughout his time as a chemist.
Great teacher. Helps anyway he can.
Materail was pretty tough to learn but test were easier than expected.
Dr. Mann is a very friendly and helpful professor, but the new format of 8 week classes caught him by surprise and the class was a bit unorganized. This class wasn't as hard as 255 and I didn't feel very prepared for the ACS final. As a chemistry major, this class wasn't as in depth as I'd like, granted it was only an 8 week summer course.
Dr. Mann is awesome all around! He really wants you to understand the material and spends extra time at the school before class so you can come to him with questions. By far my favorite professor.
