Awesome guy. I had trouble with chemistry in high school and Bell made it easy. Although you may not be an expert chemist at the end of the class, he wants people to learn but he also understands that maybe an IE or business major don't need to know every single detail about chemistry. Exposure without over doing it all while being interesting.

As a Mechanical Engineer I took this class as a free elective. Why? Bell is the best, hands down! You have almost no graded assignments, the tests are ridiculously easy and almost impossible to get less than an A if you show up and copy your notes. Even with no assignments I learn more in his classes than I do any other. Chemistry genius also.

Bell is a very funny guy. You will learn nothing yet you still need to come to class since that is how you will get your grade.

The man is so nice and humble. Though he is much older now he still knows his stuff. The classes are getting a bit boring mainly I believe because he has gotten older but still one of the best professors you can meet at Kettering. Willing to help you any way he can.

One of THE best Professors at Kettering! He's been there for 50 years and there's a good reason for it.
