He is one of the best professors I have ever taken. He knows the material well, his teaching is very clear, and he is always helpful and funny. He gives a test every 3 chapters and a quiz at the end of each chapter. He moves quickly, but if you pay attention in class then the tests and quizzes are easy. Definitely take him if possible.

He is very easy to talk to and is very helpful, although many of his examples from class are the same examples the book gives.

Professor Stone was by far my most favorite teacher this semester. I am not the best student in chemistry but he made the class fun. He is a great teacher, super approachable, knows his stuff, and is very clear and precise. Take him if you can, I would highly recommend him!

Professor Stone is pretty much the best professor that you could ever have for Gen Chem. He is super understanding and helpful when you don't get a concept, and very willing to work with you to improve grades. If you get a chance, do yourself a favor and take his class.

Professor Stone is an excellent teacher. Personally Chemistry has always been a struggle for me but the way he teaches it is very clear and very easy to understand. He is never afraid to crack a joke in class and they are all very funny. If you study you should do fine, maybe even excel in his class. I would highly recommend this class.

Professor Stone is amazing! He is unbelievably helpful and funny. Make sure to do the problem sets even though they're not exactly homework.

Prof Stone is the best teacher i have had at Creighton. Do whatever you can to get him. He definitely makes you work, but if you study for the tests and pay attention to lecture you will enjoy his random jokes and his great approach in teaching you chem. Also, he loves to be asked questions so if something is confusing you don't be afraid to ask.

Professor Stone is super awesome and helpful. He is super helpful during office hours. He basically works out the problem and explains it in different ways if you don't understand the concept. He cracks great jokes. Take his class if you can!

The easiest Gen Chem teacher at Creighton. 10 pt quizzes after each chapter that you barely need to study for. No homework grades but problem sets help when studying. Tests are fairly easy because he gives you all the formulas you need for all tests and the final. He has a good sense of humor which makes class less boring. Take him!

Lab was good with Stone. He has weekly quizzes before you get into the lab to make sure you're prepared. The labs aren't too difficult and he's willing to help if there are problems or the TA's can't help you. Grading is hard on some things but that's the nature of chem lab at Creighton. I would recommend him as a lab instructor.

Such a great teacher. You learn a lot, he helps whenever you need help, and makes sure to answer any questions to leave no doubts. However he does move very quickly in class and doesn't give much time to let students grasp subjects. Weekly quizzes that are sometimes confusing, and Lab quizzes that can be quite difficult. Class is a challenge. TAKE!

Best Chemistry teacher Creighton has to offer. Very funny and he is always crystal clear when introducing and explaining concepts. G.O.A.T.

Stone is awesome. Such a great professor. Made chemistry understandable and relatable. He always loves to tell jokes and rarely teaches for 50min. Not an easy grade though he does test you on what your expected to know.

He might be my favorite man on this planet. If you come to Creighton and you don't take him, shame on you. He's so helpful that I want to spend every moment with him that I can . Every moment spent without him is a lost one.

Very good professor. Weekly quizzes can be tough especially if you don't take notes. You can get by not reading the book but it can help. He is welcome to help you. Labs are most difficult because the TA's are the ones that help and not him. Go to class so you can get any little piece of info you can for quizzes/tests.

Quizzes, 2 tests, and the final. Tests are very difficult.

Stone is an amazing professor. The class was challenging, but he's worth taking. Two tests, quizzes, and a final. The tests were really hard, but the quizzes help your grade. Difficult to get an A, but an extremely helpful and chill professor.

Prof Stone answers every question and clarifies every detail. He is very approachable and always makes time for students. He expects you to learn every topic so that you can explain it and solve problems. Exams were very difficult, but usually over a manageable chunk of material. The midterm and the final were brutal. Expect to work hard!

TAKE STONE! By far the best professor I've had at Creighton. Class is difficult and he does not make his test easy by any means but he will answer any question you have. He wants to see his students succeed and cares about their success. Makes the material understandable and understands the subject gets difficult. Always keeps his office open!

Don't be fooled by other comments. This class is HARD. Stone gives very difficult exams. He is always there to help and explains everything very well, but the exams are tough.

HE IS VERY DIFFICULT! I studied about 2 hours every day for this class and didn't manage to do well on any of his quizes or tests. I have a few friends that did decent, but still thought it was hard. He has 6 quizes(hard), a midterm(harder) and a final(hardest) with no extra credit or any other means of improving your grade. But a good teacher.

He's great! Explains everything in detail and even has a few jokes during class. He's also really funny

Actually a good teacher. Able to teach course material in a manageable and clear way. Like every other chem class, it's a lot of work, but he makes it possible to understand and apply.

So I don't know if Prof Stone has ever used Mastering Chemistry for homework but his quizzes and test are straight from that. He is an incredible teacher. Unless you are awful at understanding science concepts and/or don't do the homework or study a decent amount, you should be fine. He's also a great guy and super easy to talk to.

Take Stone! One of the best teachers I've had. Tests come directly from the notes and homework. Expect to work hard, keep up with the assignments and attend class. If you do all of this you will do fine. Great teacher!

If you don't take Stone, you're making a BIG mistake! There's 6 quizzes, midterm & final, the quizzes come mostly direct from the online review he posts. Never read the book, don't think it'd help much if I did. Use office hours, he's a big help if you don't understand something. Final was tricky, but will curve if enough people struggle.

You're missing out if you don't take Stone! Super helpful in office hours, use them. 6 quizzes, midterm and a final. Quizzes are mostly from the online review. Gives majority of the equations on quizzes and final. Not an easy A, but not out of question either if you put in the effort.

Take his class! Lectures are clear, he's super helpful in office hours (use them!), and quizzes are straightforward, but the tests are HARD. Do not underestimate the midterm and (especially) the final! Not impossible to get an A, but you'll have to try pretty hard. He's an awesome, yet tough professor and you will not regret taking this class.

STONE IS AMAZING. Super helpful, very clear, really nice, really caring. He's funny too! His tests are easy if you know how to do the homework. Although, his final was hard, BUT, he curved it. Michaels would probably just let everybody fail.... Take him.

Stone is awesome. His class is challenging, but he makes sure that all of the material on the quizzes and tests are things that we've covered. He is my favorite professor at Creighton, and definitely one of the most helpful! He appreciates it if you go in to office hours and is more than willing to help explain things!

Stone is the best teacher I have had at Creighton by far!! Super helpful when you stay after class or go to office hours with questions. Super nice and funny during lecture. Interesting and clear on material. Homework takes time but prepares for tests/quizzes.

Lots of homework, hard exams, high expectations, impossible final exam - expect to work very hard. He is really helpful in office hours and answers email questions. He always takes time to answer questions in class. Totally approachable and encouraging.

Prof. Stone is a fantastic teacher, definitely one of the best I have ever had. He knows Chemistry well and can present it in multiple ways (make certain to ask questions). Granted, he is difficult and his Final last semester was over the top. Yet, he was kind enough to put in a curve and completely change his syllabus for next semester. Great guy!

Took him last semester and am taking him again this semester. Super nice guy that has adjusted the syllabus to make it more manageable to attain an A, but he is still one of the more challenging professors. If you really want to learn chemistry take this guy. Also highly recommend you take him if you're considering Chemistry or Biochemistry major.

Honestly one of the best teachers I have ever had. Stone has the absolute best sense of humor, makes the subject interesting, and teaches chemistry like we have never seen the concepts before, which was awesome. That being said, the class itself isn't easy by any means, and you have to put in a lot of effort to get a good grade

Dr. Stone is by far one of the best professors I've had. He really takes the time to teach you everything you will need to know for the tests. He is one of the few professors that I have actually felt like I've really learned in his class. The tests are tough but he really tries to prepare you for them. He is also really funny. Definitely take him!

General Chemistry was not easy for me and this class is not that easy at all. However Stone does a good job at preparing you for exams even if they are hard. As for quizzes, he tells you exactly what is on the quizzes. Take Stone if you really want to learn Chemistry!

Stone is the most clear professor I've had at CU. He's got the ability to turn the tough stuff in to something you understand. He learns names of all his students too, even if you don't go in for extra help. He knows you, knows its tough, and knows you can manage it. Taking again for Gen Chem 2, and hey, doesn't hurt they guy's good lookin.

Fortunately a big piece of the grade comes from easy online homework and quizzes where you know the content, because the exams are really tough. Class is fantastic, he always encourages students to ask questions and he tries to answer every question. He answers emails and always helps in office hours. Totally caring! My favorite teacher ever!

Best chem professor in creighton hands down. Extremely funny. If you are on pre-healthcare track or just science major then take him because you would get really good foundation on chem and standardized test would be a breeze for that section

Professor Stone is one of the best teachers I've ever had. His lecture is incredible, and he's hilarious. He's great about office hours and will make appointments with you for extra help. His tests are very difficult, but you really learn in his class. I worked VERY hard to get a B, but Chem isn't my strength. I can't give Stone enough praise.

I'm taking Stone again second semester, that's how much I loved his class. Fantastic teacher! He explains chemistry in a way that is understandable. Sapling is very helpful as well. You really need to study for tests, but you understand chemistry afterwards. He will crack jokes during class, too, which is awesome! Definitely take him

Exams were really difficult, used online homework which is helpful, quizzes directly from assigned book problems. He encourages questions and always answers them all. His explanations are fantastic and he tries to make sure that everyone understands concepts. He also answers emails quickly. Great Prof!

Stone is the best Chemistry teacher ever. He's super clear and straightforward and helpful outside of class. He's funny and class is entertaining. His tests are pretty challenging and definitely need to keep up with the homework to do well.

Dr. Stone was hands down one of the best teachers I've ever had. He teaches everything as if no one knows a thing about chemistry which may seem basic and boring at first, but is really helpful in the long run. I heard horror stories about his tests and honestly found them easier than my tests in high school. Do the homework and read the book.

Great teacher! Put in the work and an A is very achievable. His A is a 92.0% instead of a 90.0% and he does not round, which hurts some students.

Prof. Stone is the best. He actually seems to care about his students. Lots of homework, but it make learning the subject easier. Some exams were really tough and the final was impossible. Totally clear set of expectations and very clear on exam content. He tells great jokes and stories and makes chem almost fun.

Stone is hands down the best professor I have ever had. He makes lectures interesting and will work with you until you understand the material. The quizzes are not too bad because he pulls the questions out of the book, but the exams are HARD. Be willing to put a lot of work in, but its worth it because you will learn so much.

He keeps lectures interesting with his humor. His tests are tough but the quizzes are fairly simple. I recommend reviewing your notes and doing a ton of practice problems. Definitely a harder teacher than the other general chemistry professors but I learned a lot. He is really good about answering questions during office hours.

Dr. Stone is probably one of the best teachers I've had a Creighton so far. Sure, all of the professors at Creighton, and Im sure virtually any University, know their stuff. They are all book smart. The beauty of Stone's class is that he is book smart and "street smart". He knows how to teach so that students aren't left confused and frustrated

I think this class would be tough with any instructor - chem is just hard! Stone goes out of his way to answer questions and explain concepts many different ways. He's super helpful in office hours and he always tries to be fair. I wish he could write exams a little easier, but other than that he's my favorite prof by far!

Class is awesome and he's so helpful in office hours, but the exams are brutal! His explanations of concepts are so easy to follow and he answers every question. He's pretty clear about what will be on exams, I just wish they were a little easier. Online homework and regular quizzes help with grades. Snappy dresser too!

Use his office hours. His lectures can be a lot to swallow sometimes, but he is sooo helpful in office hours and he is really good at dumbing things down. He genuinely wants his students to do well but that doesnt mean he cuts anyone slack so be prepared to work. I took him for both Gen Chem 1 and 2.

Professor Stone is the best sciences teacher I have ever had. If you have the chance of taking his class take it immediately. His lectures are amazing, he's funny, and he wants everyone to do well. The class is decently hard but stay on top of your notes and you'll get an easy B and have to work for an A.

Stone is an amazing professor who has the ability to really help his students understand chemistry. He goes above and beyond in order to help his students grasp the concepts. He really wants his students to excel. He explains things in ways that we'll be able to understand and relate to. There's hw and a quiz for each chapter, 5 exams, and a final

Had him for gen chem I and II. Amazing lectures, explained concepts really clearly. Tests are hard and sometimes you don't know what to expect. 1st semester there was a test, quiz, & graded online homework for each unit. 2nd semester there were 7 tests with quiz points added in and online hw was completion. TAKE HIM. Best gen chem prof at creighton

Stone is a great teacher if you are already familiar with Chemistry. If you are having trouble in the class he is determined to help you understand. Very funny, easy to talk to, homework twice a week.

Dr. Stone is amazing, regardless of whether you have a good chem background or not. He explains concepts and answers questions very clearly. Tests aren't ridiculously hard, but you'll definitely need to study. His lectures are hilarious and he is very accessible outside of class. I definitely recommend him if you have to take Gen Chem!

Dr. Stone is a great professor overall. I would recommend his class to someone who has a good chemistry background and is able to put in the time outside of class. Speaking with other people and from my own experience, I find that Dr. Stone's CHM205 course is at a very high caliber of difficulty comparatively to other professors at Creighton.

REALLY Excellent teacher!! Explains concepts very well and answers every question. Super accessible by email and office hours. Online homework is a lot of work and exams are tough but fair. Best teacher I've ever had. Be prepared to work hard!

Dr. Stone's class was difficult for me. I'm not naturally good at chemistry, and I have definitely had to work to keep myself afloat in his course. Always go to class, and take good notes during class. In addition, read the textbook and do all of the practice problems that Dr. Stone assigns. Many questions from the book are used as exam questions.

Tough grader, last few tests are easier so dont give up

Stone is super funny & tries to make class as entertaining as possible. He gives opportunities to raise your grade once a semester so take advantage of it. His teaching style is a lot of examples and not a lot of written notes on the explanation of things. But he goes out of his way to be accessible if you need help! One of the best chem teachers.

Prof. Stone is one of the best professors at Creighton. If you are taking GEN CHEM, take him. The tests are hard, but not impossible if you study. Do the book problems because he often takes those and makes them test questions. Go into his office hours because he will help with whatever you ask him.

Great prof

Professor Stone is one of the most caring professors you will ever meet and one of the greatest chem professors here. Always willing to explain anything to you and cares about his students. tests are HARD but the teacher is worth it

Very difficult exams, lots of homework, tough grader, but you can tell he really wants all of his students to learn. Nice guy, answers every question and looks for other ways to explain stuff you don't get. Very funny in class & doesn't take himself or the subject too seriously. Go to class! And do ALL the suggested problems!!

Lectures are easy to understand despite the fast pace and tests are mainly straight out of class examples. Stone wants you to succeed and will help outside of class if you are struggling. He is funny and sarcastic and I always looked forward to coming to class. One of the best professors I've had at Creighton!!

Professor Stone is an awesome man and a great professor but his tests are challenging. His notes seem very simple but only studying his notes will not get you a good grade. It is important to do a lot of work outside the classroom, especially reading the book and doing book problems. Hard but you earn your grade based on your effort. TAKE HIM

Professor Stone is a really solid professor for gen chem I and gen chem II. The ALEKS homework can sometimes be tedious, but it helps boost your grade. It's really important to do the practice problems in the textbook that he suggests as they're similar to test questions.

TAKE PROFESSOR STONE!!! He gives clear and organized lectures, is extremely helpful and understanding, and you'll actually learn from him. TIPS: notes from his TA are posted online by the end of the day if you can't make it to class, and homework is all online (completion grade) - it easily boosts your grade! Take Prof. Stone! You won't regret it.

I took Prof Stone for both Gen Chem 1 & 2. He made the class go by fast with his sense of humor and clear lectures. He will give your class obvious signs when a specific piece of info or a practice problem is important for an exam, and even goes over each exam and asks his classes how he can improve the next test after each one is graded. Take him!

Very engaging and made lecture fun

Arguably best prof in terms of covering content, as a result also the hardest. 4 unit tests and 1 final w/ 20% of each unit test from homework. You will need to invest serious time and effort in order to pass. Told intro chem class he purposefully grades chem 1 severely to "weed out the weak". Take that as a challenge - or a warning

The last review was wrong. He didn't say that 203 was hard in order to "weed out the weak", he said he makes much greater demands of 203 students in order to prepare them from future coursework, expect 203 to be harder than 105. His lectures are thorough & he makes it absolutely clear what content will be on the exams, but the exams are TOUGH!!!

Solid Prof. My messups were my own. He's tough but fair.

Professor Stone was awesome. He has a dry sense of humor that was enjoyable but also clearly cares about the students. All of the grade basically is tied into your exams, since the homework is counted as points on your exam. The program for homework can be tough (Aleks) and time consuming.

Professor Stone is a very sweet man. He tried to make class as painless as he can with jokes here and there. He posts lectures for you to watch before class which I would highly recommend watching because the class is basically a Q&A session. He is a fair grader and is very clear about what he wants on quizzes and exams.

Professor Stone is a great gen-chem teacher! Homework involves a small worksheet (not graded) but it prepares you for the homework quiz (which is graded). Homework quizzes are great prep for what is on the test!! He loves to make dad jokes and bring his dog Winston to class periodically, which makes it a lot more fun and enjoyable classes!!

Amaaaazing teacher. Very funny. Brings dog. Love

Professor Stone is the best Chemistry professor I have ever had in my entire life. He shows real dedication to making his students succeed. His exams are kind of tough but manageable. If you seek out help from professor Stone he will do everything to help you succeed while also keeping it real with you.

Dr. Stone doesn't usually teach CHM111, so I don't know how this compares to his regular classes. Funny guy who really cares about his students. Writes notes out on the chalkboard, sometimes goes too quickly through content. Brings his dog to class sometimes. Emailed me one time saying good job on the test and honestly I almost cried. Awesome guy.

Professor Stone is a very good instructor. He's caring, approachable, and personable! He response to emails quickly and is very helpful. He's great at breaking down the concepts and gives plenty of opportunities to improve your grade. Homework given through ALEKS, is very helpful with understanding the topics and studying for exams. 100% take!

Professor Stone is a great professor, even though I failed the class. Chemistry is just hard and if you don't put 100% effort in it, it's easy to get lost very quickly. He is accessible outside of class to meet and clarify topics. He is a fair grader on tests. He records the lectures, which is nice to rewatch, but everything is on the chalk board.

Stone was a great guy and a great teacher. The content was difficult and exams were sometimes tough, but I think he prepared us well. He is willing to help and cares about student learning. Chemistry does not come easy to me, but Stone helped me succeed. Would definitely take again.

Hes super funny. he explains concepts to where you actually understand. his grading criteria is a little tough though.

i think dr stone is the best chemistry professor at creighton. his lectures are very clear and understandable, and he is always open to questions in and out of class. he explains hard to understand concepts in an easy way, and truly cares about how his students do in his classes. there are 4 exams and 1 final, in class quizzes, and online homework.

so nice, I am retaking gen chem and he has helped so much and truly wants his students to succeed.

Class is graded based off 3-4 exams plus final, daily quizzes, and online homework per chapter. Lectures don't take the full class time and are pretty engaging, hes a funny guy. Gotta say exams are not horrible as long as you know what you are doing, quizzes aren't really quizzes since they are all open notes. Homework can be frustrating at times.

Really great lecturer and classes often got out early. Chem is hard but he taught it well

Professor Stone is an amazing professor, and I always left his class laughing. He's really personable and cares about his students. There are 4 unit exams and a final, along with homework for each chapter and daily quizzes which are open note. He uses the chalkboard instead of slides so it's really easy to follow along in lectures.

Professor Stone is the most caring professor I have met at Creighton. He gives a lot of grade cushion through attendance points for class and tutoring, and chapter preview points along with homework. There are 3 major tests, and they're really hard but he will do his absolute best to help you pass! He truly is his student's #1 supporter.

Awesome teacher. If you have the chance to take Stone, DO IT.

If you have a chance take Professor Stone. He is a bit passive aggressive and kind of looks like a Simpson's character, but he is an amazing lecturer and clearly cares about his student's success. He is a bit harsh on the grading, but his office hours and tutoring are amazing tools that will help you pass and better prepare you for a higher class.

Dr. Stone cares about his students, understanding, and wants you to do well. He would hear you out on your exam questions you got wrong and sometimes would give you more points back. He gave an oppurtunity for extra credit, but it was a good chunk and not super difficult. Overall, he was a great professor, and I would recommend him to everyone.

He was really nice, good at teaching, tough tests.

He's pretty easy going. A very good professor that explains topics in a way for students to be able to understand. Office hours are helpful and pretty cool guy. Only bad things in my opinion were the required office hours and the passive aggressiveness in his email responses (I was probably just asking stupid questions).

Dr. Stone is one of the best professors I have ever had. His class is hard but he is so caring and willing to help whenever.

Class very enjoyable and cared more about our ability to succeed in future courses than the grade that we received in his course. For an introductory course, he moves a little fast but also has attached tutoring hours and office hours. He will make time based on your schedule to meet with you to help you with topics you are struggling on.

I really appreciate Professor Stone. He explains difficult concepts in simple terms that are easy to understand. His teaching style is engaging, and he uses real-world examples that make the material interesting. He is also very approachable and willing to help students outside of class, whether during office hours or by email.

Dr. Stone has been one of the best teachers I have had at Creighton. There are points for previews and going to office hours/ tutoring that are very helpful. He grades very quickly and really cares for his students. I strongly recommend taking him.

Makes tough things easy to understand, and really wants to help you understand. He's a really good teacher that is reasonable and sees us as humans. Quite an easy class if you put in the time. I'd recommend studying the homework and whatever he provides, I would've gotten an A if I just went to the required tutoring hours.

Prof Stone has been my favorite professor at Creighton so far. He is always willing to work with you outside of class and his lectures clearly outline what we need to know. Although, his tests are not easy, you are required to go to tutoring hours, so take advantage! 100% take him!!

Dr. Stone is so caring and sweet, genuinely one of the best professors I have ever had. Exams are tough and make ap a big portion on grade, so definitely take advantage of office hours to get help.

Really Awesome! Wants you to succeed and will help you get there.

Professor Stone is probably the best professor I've ever had. He covers a lot of material pretty quickly but he prioritizes your understanding of the material over amount of material covered. Great professor, would 1000% take again, but do not skip lecture as they are ways very informative and helpful and there are rarely BlueCasts posted.

Dr. Stone is probably the best chemistry teacher I've ever had. He's very good at explaining concepts in ways that make it easy to remember and he's very clear of what to memorize for your exams. However, his tests are definitely not the easiest, but he's going to prepare you well for upper chemistry classes.
