Keeps students very interested in the subject and adds his own flare to lectures
Very easy teacher, if you want to get a good grade, take him instead of Doc Mac.
Best damn professor, hands down
Took him for both O-Chem and P-Chem
best teacher at campus
best prof ever, anywhere, actually cares about students, wants them to succeed
You can't go wrong...so friendly, so easy, and even fun

wag booster. dont expect to learn the course. good to get in with!
Funny guy, doesnt really teach, EASY LAB
Had him for 3 dif. chem classes... He's the best prof ever
AWSOME - only word to describe him. Thought about failing just to take him again
Coolest teacher ever
ttttttoooooooo ggggoooooodddd prof
Easiest teacher at school. Take him for any class you can. You won't learn much but will get a 90 without doing anything.
Nice guy but didn't learn much at all.
Great proff, he is pretty easy. can use graph calc and have extra credit in class. most people get great grades with him.
Great Prof. Loves to help students out. He is by far the best prof at Kettering. Every class is his favorite class. Excited about teaching.
Great guy. Loves the school. He actually covers a lot of good material, but it seems easy because of his style. The best of GMI still exists.
He absolutely loves his students. He enjoys teaching us about everything and he always has an upbeat attitude. Everyone needs to have him once at their time at KU to keep that optimistic attitude.
Great prof loves students. Knows everyone. Didn't learn much.
Excellent. You DO learn, despite what you hear...he just doesn't stay on a single topic for very long.
Professor Bell is very cool!!!!!!!!
Best of the best. He cares about the students and helps them if they need help. If you don't have any of his classes, at least meet him. Very easy grader, and keeps the material interesting. Very good all around.
Good teacher
Cool teacher. Class is really easy. Teaches whatever he wants. Can't fail unless you try.
Great Great Great Teacher, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Very good prof. Take him if you get the chance. Easy 93+!
This guy is a great teacher.He is very fun and teaches great. He is one of the best professors.
One of the nicest profs at school, really tenured, has connections. Likes to waste time a whole lot, & is good at it. Had only 1 test. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Exam blew. Kinda on the fruity side. Not the best guy to have at 8 AM 3 days a week
Bell is a good prof. You will get a 90 or so without trying too hard, but I recommend actually putting work into the class cuz you can learn alot from him if you ask good questions in class. Get him if you're not a Chem major. :)
Prof Bell is by far the coolest dude at any university in the world. You learn nothing, but you have a blast jumping on the desks! He's got connections, so he's your guy if you need a co-op. Easy grade...I got a 99 in lecture and a 97 in lab
Easiest class I ever had... Never studied for a single test, and got a solid 93. Slept through the lab 2 times, and still got a 93 without even turning in either of the two labs that I missed. Make your schedule around his class!
Balanced out Kaiser that term nicely. Should consider retiring, he's a bit outdated and sort of creepy.
Awesome!!! Got a 97, and actually learned something
Bell is the man.
Didn't learn anything...nothing. Easy, but a strange strange man. Suck up and you'll do just fine. Take advantage of his "grading system"
It's bell.. no other comment necessary!
Bell is awesome.
Nice and funny!! Great prof...take him if you can!
Bell is the prof to have. Best grading system in the entire university. Get to know him, let him see your face. Show up to class, and get 90 +
Good teacher, loves to talk. Don't take if you are going to be a chem major, he isn't that great at teaching the subject, but classes are fun. Get him to know you and you are set. See him if you need a co op job.
Wow.. Wooowww... Wow is right! The last chem teacher I had was awesome and thought it couldnt get better. But when I had Bell, it just blew me away. I am starting to wonder if all Chem teachers are like this! But this guy was better then my last. GO BELL!
The legendary G.R. Bell. Best teacher at Kettering. Fairly easy class, but you can really learn alot if you try.
Bell is a ****! By far, my best prof. He makes class so much fun, especially with the well-known "Techers of the Day". Bell not only set me up with a co-op, but helped me get my girlfriend back! He's the man, and I hope I'm lucky enough to have him next term
Awesome prof. Best grading system on earth. Realizes that NOT EVERYBODY loves chemistry. Get to know him, his 30 years of teaching experience (especially here) has netted him many contacts, if you need a co-op he'll get you one. Great guy.
Bell is the man, any class you could possibly get with him, take it. Take your electives with him. Chem, OChem, Polymers, take them all!
Great to be in his class, if you don't get him, just go sit in on a lecture some time. Somewhat hard to learn, but lectures are interesting. Pretty much, go to class and you'll get a decent grade
Awesome guy. Overhead usage is a little tiring, but what you need to know is in the notes. Victory points are the best-go to class, do your stuff and pay attention and you'll do GREAT. Pretty easy-but fair-grader and provides you plenty of opportunity to succeed.
Quite Funny
Great Professor and very easy class. I would take him as much as possible!!!
Great prof! Remembers everybody. Lot of fun to have
Do we even NEED to rate Bell? I mean, everyone know's he's AWESOME! Go to class, bring something else to do, write your re-submissions and the paper and you'll get above a 90!
No Comments
oh my god. take any class you can with this man. you don't learn much "traditional chemistry", but he's funny and personable. plus, if you need a co-op, he's your guy. victory point system is over-the-top useful for its WAG boosting effect
This guy is the man...granted, I didn't learn sh*t, I also only went to class four times and passed with an 88...I honestly saw him more outside of class than I did in! He's also the only prof. that still calls me by name years after I've been gone...incredible.
Like a Mentore
I had so much fun in thsi class. People say taht you don't learn anything, but if you want to learn, he'll teach you. This is a great professor to take and to know. He can make your life at school very easy.
Reg Bell ****ing ROCKS!!
this is a good professor, very interesting and very...very intelligent. i had fun in this class, and will spend as much time covering a subject if you need extra help
The best instructor I have ever had. GR Bell is the man! You learn more in his chem class than in any other chem class, but you don't even know you learned it. He makes his class fun and if you get him you just pay attention, ask questions, try on the exams, and you get an A. I want to take his class over again just for fun.
Reggis is a great prof!
Best professor ever
Brilliant professor that will teach as much or as little as you want to know.
Professor Bell is awesome!!! This is an easy class, amaze him the first day, and you never have to work again!
If you don't take Bell for one class while you are at Kettering, you are a fool.
Gorgeous Reginald!!!! IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
PROFESSOR BELL IS AMAZING!!! okay, but seriously, he is very helpful, and relates class to what's happening in the real world. if you're lucky, he'll bring in some car parts to future cars. he loves his plastic materials. and he's always willing to help, SO ASK!
Bell rocks. The man knows everything about plastics and even though hes probably as old as dirt (no offense) hes as sharp as a nail and is up to date with the latest information in industry. and what could be better then a prof who teaches to teach not to get paid!!!!!
For as much as I heard about this guy being so easy and what not, I was amazed at how much I actually walked away from his class with. Other professors need to learn from this one. Bell managed to keep the class entertained, spoon feed us with everything we needed to know, and (who would have thought) actually made the class enjoyable.
Very good. Like people say he is real easy but I got a lot out of it.
Very intelligent prof who teaches well. Students are a priority. Class is easier than it should be.
A must take professor. If you go to kettering and can find some way to take one of his classes do it. He teachs things that a relevant and that one should actually care about, and if you dont have a coop he will do his best to get you one. Every student is his favorite student, and he means it.
Awesome Prof. Doesn't really care about grading, just lovees teaching and loves students. Take him, laugh at his lectures and collect your 95.
Genuinely cares for his students. Understanding and realizes there is more to life than just his class or even just college.
Probably the most entertaining professor you will ever meet. Class is a breeze and you will learn more than you think you did. Really seems to care about his students, and remembers EVERYONE. He also has connectins everywhere, if you need a job he's the guy to talk to. Take one of his classes if you can!
Great guy that loves cars, chem, teaching, GM, and Kettering. Want more could you ask for.
This guy is great. Very entertaining, makes class fun. Hilarious. Show up, do your VP assignments, and you will get a 95+. You don't learn much, but it's well worth it. If you ever have a problem with anything at the school, talk to him, he owns the place. Definetly one of the best here. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK, you will never use it.
Best Prof. at kettering
great guy, fun professor. very hard to find after class.
Reg is REALLY easy, but I'm glad I took chem in high school. I'm good at chem, but I have a hard time following him. His lectures are all over the place, and I feel dumber when I listen to him. However, he's a pretty cool guy and he's got connections up the yin yang.
Bell, Bell, Bell. What a guy!? He is very smart and has been teaching EVERY TERM for almost 50 years!! He is a legend. His lectures are all over the place but he is very easy. 'Victory Points' are kinda like extra credit points. He does have connections 'up the ying yang' and is very involved with inviting accomplished alumni back to speak.
The best prof on campus, fo sho.
Reg is the man...he can get you co-ops, into classes, what ever you want. He's easy as all get out (got a 99), and you learn tons (not necessarily intro to chem related). Some say that he doesn't teach any chemistry...but our class did just as good on average during the DEPARTMENT FINAL as any other class...and you can be sure you're his favorite!
Very easy professor. He is not great at explaining things, but he curves tests well, especially if you are a "Student Associate." If you score well on the Pre-Test in the beginning of the year you are offered this position. He doesn't help students well. He relies on student associates to help struggling students. He can be very entertaining.
this half man half god pwns all that is chemistry. With the brains of Albert Einstein, the strength of hercules, and the fighting skills of chuck norris, Reggie Bell was sent down from heaven to spread the good news of polypropylene and to grant believers with everlasting victory points. He basically owns the school so get on his good side.
awesome!!!
Wow. Reg rocks my socks off. He was not only an amazing prof (and I am AWFUL at chem)but a great friend. Takes students out to breakfast, helped me secure my co-op, got me into full classes, LIVES TO SEE HIS STUDENTS SUCCEED.An amazing man, if not my fav prof, definitely in the top 5. VERY interesting class, too. Not even about Chem!! & I got an A!
Great Prof. Easy to understand and easy to get along with! Everyone loves Bell.
Despite what anybody says, this guy is as sharp as a tack. His antics and teaching style are a show, but he can pull it off because he knows the subject so well. I learned a lot about a subject I don't like, and had a good time doing it. I especially recommend him for lab, as I've had him for lab and lecture.
Reg is an amazing professor who has taught 180 (as of this term) straight terms with no vacations. He is a very bright man, and I respect him with every cell in my body.
One of the best profs I have ever had. Made the subject interesting, and made me want to learn it. Wasnt terribly difficult either.
I love Professor Bell! He is a great chemistry lab professor so there is no way you can possibly fail unless you dont go to the labs or make cheat sheets for the lab quizzes. The work is easy. The quizzes are what bring down some people's grades, but he gives you a point even when you have the wrong answer. Pray that you get him.
Bell...I wish all my profs were like him. 95 in lab class, never did anything outside of it.
I was his favorite student!
Awsome guy Fav teacher so far
Gorgeous!
Everyone loved him, and he loved us! Especially TODD TURFE! Haha
A blast to have as a professor...you will not be disappointed! I was his favorite student!
I was DEFINITELY his favorite student!
Absolutely my favorite teacher at kettering. He took time out of his night to help my friends and I study for the final. Also, he helped me out when I was having a personal problem. He is not only a great professor, but a great person as well.
It's Bell. What more needs to be said?
Very Easy, Doesn't actually teach to much new stuff. Hw is copy your notes from the previous class, become friends with your student associate and be a good tech-er of the day and you will get an A. Midterm and Final are only 2 tests plus a resubmission of the 2nd test. Make sure you also get him for Chem Lab 136 Too.
Professor Bell is vastly superior to many other professors at KU. I would recommend him for any chemistry course. He is passionate and a great guy. You always learn something new and are always intrigued. I absolutely adore and love Reggie Bell.
Professor Bell makes chem1 really easy and all you have to do is take notes that are on the board and hand them into the teacher assistance and you receive an A+ by just taking the notes and showing up for class
One of the greatest experiences of my life! Everyone should take at least one class with this wonderful human being before he retires. I wish he could teach all my classes. Deff in a class of his own.
Bell is a great guy and really wants all of his students to get a good grade. All you really have to do to get a good grade is turn in notes and show up to class. That being said, as far as learning the material well, I have no motivation to study or do work outside of class because I can get an A without doing so.
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.
