He's helpful. His explainations are slows, so you made end up getting out of class 60 mins tops with his speed that's only if you rush through lab like I do. I think the labs can be done faster; but you know, there's a lot of dumb students in the class, so that's a good reason for it. Good teacher!

He is a cool teacher to have. He is very helpful and is willing to go that extra mile for a student that needs help. His grading is kinda strict but he makes up for it with rebound points

He is great professor because if you have a question he will explain it nicely and he is so helpful. He is easygoing and he jokes with his students.

He is a cool guy. He is kinda slow with the lectures which tend to bore some people, but he makes up for it in effort to help the students understand. He will go over the question until you understand what you di wrong. The only thing you should really look out for is his grading.

He is a good professor and will help whenever needed, however is extremely slow and boring to me. You can never leave class or lab early, will have worksheets for you to do instead. Very nice and fun man just boring.

This is a hard class no matter what but he is a nice teacher and if you work hard you get a good grade. I did no do well on the first test but he made the second and third test kind of easy. He also gave a 50 point extra credit. I recommend that you take his course.

this teacher is cool. funny. labs are easy. lectures are intresting. he is kind of slow sometimes. he has alot of things planned out to help you. like, notes, non-required work, labs online.

This is a hard class due to the amount of material to be covered, but professor Frechen is cool, and has a great sense of humor. He cares so much about his class and students that he is also helpful beyond the call of duty.

A genuinely caring and concerned professor who is patient in explaining and answering questions. He is truly wants his students to do well and understand the concepts behind chemistry and not just take it for granted. I highly recommend this professor. He will put in the time but expects his students too as well.

Mr. Frechen was an awsome Chem teacher. I feared Chemistry prior to taking Mr. Frechen's class and now that its all over he was always there to help me out. Thanks, Mr Frechen! Although I felt he could have offered just a little more extra credit, the class over all was interesting and well taught. His tests are tough but just do the homework.

Professor Frechen is awsome. He is funny and really cares. The class is hard but interesting, and he made the last exam a lot easier. Thanks Professor Frechen!

I wish all professors were like him. Easy going,helpful, generous, and cares about his students. He is really good and clear when explaining his lectures, and his tests are pretty fair. I wished te taught other chem classes.

If you are not good in chemistry and have problems with passing this class, take this teacher because he will make anything he can to make you pass. He is very generous and curves grades. Very good, helpful and caring teacher.

chemistry is always a hard class no matter what. he gives out a lot of homework and tests are pretty hard but just make sure you study chem each day and you'll do fine. nice teacher though.

very nice professor, but the exams are so difficult.

If you tell anyone your taking Chemistry, most do the sigh thing and roll their eyes... and I see why... this is a hard subject... I struggled with it, it is like a new language, got too behind and did terrible on the tests, found them hard, although he was fair and helpful, just not my subject and had to drop!

he was a great teacher kept the class as interesting as possible... for chemistry. if your not really all that into the mathematics and equations of chem. take this class no math is needed. basic math is all. not hard. lots of busy work. study for tests and you will get a good grade

not the most interesting of lecturers, but frechen is the most helpful teacher i've had so far. hes super chill and nice, just his lectures are a little monotone. but he is super cool

Take him. always willing to go to the extra mile to help u. Very generous cause he curves the class. His lectures might be a little bit boring, but they are very organized and he's really good at explaining concepts. He is better than other professors. His exams are fair, and if u put effort in this class it is possible to pass it with a good grade

he's a really nice guy. he's willing to help and you can get his powerpoints online for lecture. Lecture can be a bit dry, but he explains the concept pretty well if you pay attention. I thought i was going to get a C in the class, but i got a B. there are quizzes before each exam and i believe there are 5 total

Prof F is way cool. He will go out of his way to help you if you if you go to him. He's a very kind man and wants the students to do well. He gives chances to hard workers. Take him. Dry lecture sometimes, but he makes up for it.

nice guy. it ended up being an easy class. i really thought i did not as well as i thought i could and still got a B! lectures are a little boring, but hey, sometimes its hard to be fun during lecture. extra credit opps and easy writing assgnments!

he is the best man ever. very kind and funny professor. If you know a little Chemistry easy A, at least B! there are two take home test which are very easy. Take this class!!

he makes chemistry easier to understand. maybe i'm just trying harder this year, i don't know. he's there during office hours if you need help and occasionally cracks jokes during class. he's pretty lenient for lab...overall, GREAT professor, highly recommended!!

Workload: H.w.(around 20questions) due every week, 3midterms(take home) and a final. 3 papers worth 50points each. Overall an okay class, sometimes can be difficult if you don't understand chem well, but he's helpful if you ask questions. Test are pretty hard but they're open book/take home. Hw is not too bad.

He's a pretty cool teacher, his monotone voice may bore many but he knows his stuff.

Mr. Frechen is a teacher who knows his subject very well... however, he's a bit monotoned and I found myself counting down the minutes until class was over. Tests & hw are open notes, book, and internet. I only really used my book when there's something I couldn't understand or couldn't find on the internet.

He is an awesome teacher with a good sense of humor. You can ask him any questions and he will take his time to answer. The content of this class was difficult,and extremely fast-paced. You need to spend a lot of time studying. He supplied his students with good notes and did his best to make the class as easy as possible. Very good teacher!

He was cool, all his powerpoints are on his website, so you don't really need the book unless you need extra help at home. His tests are usually fill in the blank and you have to draw and name organic molecules, and do chemical equations, showing all the work. Homework is really long and tedious, but VERY helpful for all the tests, so do it,

Don't hate the professor, hate the class. The class is extremely face paced, lots of material to cover in just 1 semester.The hard part about this guy is his tests were mostly fill-in (but they are straight forward). He's fair and gave plenty of extra credit, mostly because the grade average for his tests were pretty low. Nice guy, knows his stuff!

HW: 1 on every chapter he lectures usually one a week, based on all the notes he provides (which simply is what's on the book)Quiz:most Qs are pulled out fr the hw, fairly ez.Test:based on quiz and hw,ez and worth a lot, curves final.Attendance:very important 5 points/20 for every absent.Paper:dont copy n paste then ur fine,contnt not so important.

It's CHEM,how interesting can it be?He's got a monotone that kills people's attention tho.He drops 1 hw but dont take advantage of it.Always feel free to talk to him @ his office,he's very helpful and usually verifies ur answer when u ask for help for the hw. Sumtimes he gives take home quiz or test, u can also ask him questions.

He is awesome and super helpful. You definitely want to take him for lab. You can ask him anything really. Sometimes forgot that he's a professor. He also makes liquid nitrogen ice cream for his students. TAKE HIM.

He's a pretty cool professor. you can ask him anything during labs and he will help you the best he can. sometimes he's very slow explaining things. at the end of the semester he makes liquid nitrigen ice cream for our class. pretty cool and tasty!

I personally love him, he's very helpful, but the class sucks, so much material, and only 2 exams, there should be 4 to make it easier on the students, his test questions are tricky sometimes. you NEED to study to earn a passing grade. Book not really necessary 'cause his ppt are copied from the book, so Q's can be googled or asked for clarificatio

Class is FAST paced. He does his best to explain things. 2 tests, 10 are fill in, 50 MC questions. There is a lot of material and you need to LEARN it not just memorize. You get used to his voice and let him go off on tangents! Everything builds up from ch 1. So DON'T FALL BEHIND. Use the success center! That's what made me get an A.

This class is fast paced with a lot of content so be prepared to work hard. Frechen is always happy to clarify concepts, but the student success center is also very helpful. The final grades are curved. There are two exams, and on the final we were allowed a half page cheat sheet. tests consist of half MC and half short answer at equal pts.

Chem 110 can be overwhelming because it is a quick look through of general, organic and biochemistry. I didnt have any chemistry background but i got through by studying the lecture notes. Overall, HW's are easy, Quizzes are easy, Labs are easy. The two exams are the heaviest make sure to study for it! Good Luck! Keep Calm :)

Frechen is a lovely fellow; took him for 185L, 220L, and 225L... it's hard to not like the guy! He actually wants you to think and learn! He might appear intimidating, but he's really a nice guy and is easy on the grading (just beware his finals). Also, coax him with some Game of Thrones, Diablo 3, and tech talk-- he loves that kind of stuff!

Prof. Frechen is a helpful and approachable teacher. Lectures can be dry and he can get sidetracked on topics that aren't important for the test sometimes, but he gives you the basics of what you need to know. Class examples are super simple, and nothing like the tests, so focus on the hw problems! HW takes at least 4 hours to complete every week.

I seriously don't understand where are those bad reviews come from. He may appears intimidating, yet so far he's my best chem teacher. Lecture can be dry because of his tone. But if you truly listen to him, he says all the good stuff. I would recommend going to lecture and doing his sapling homework, and his worksheet he gave out before each exam.

He is the best lab instructor you can ever have.

He initially comes off as kinda boring and uninterested, but he's actually a very good lab instructor. Gives VERY good feedback and is completely willing to work with students to point them in the right direction. Just make sure you're following all instructions to a T, otherwise you'll get an earfull.

Prof. Frechen is great. I am currently taking him for chem 130 & L. I was really afraid of chem before taking his class, specially the lab since I am an introvert and not really good at working with a group. But I really enjoy his lab, he explains everything clearly. He is friendly & works with every single student until they understand the topic.

He cares for students, so if you have any questions ask him ! He's willing to work with you one on one and check every answers you have on lab to see if you are doing it right and willing to teach you until you get this materials.

He cares a lot for his students. He's a sweet guy. He may seem intimidating at first but he's very approachable. He'll willing to work with you until you get the problem during office hours. Also he curved too, at the end he'll let you know.

GREAT PROF! Lecture is outstanding. But you have to read the textbook!!!. He'll curve at the end.

My favorite teacher, he really cares about his students. Very approachable, if you have questions, ask. He will never make you feel stupid. Tests are hard, but its high level chemistry, so you will have to put in the effort! Do ALL the homework and best you can in lab, and it will help you if you do bad on exams. Go to lectures or else fall behind.

Since the lectures are very slow and boring, I highly recommend you to stay ahead of the lectures by reading the textbook! The class materials are very easy, compare to physics and math. The tests are straight forward. However, you need to write quickly because there are 11 questions. (no MC) I took him for 180 and 185. I got A for both class.

super easy teacher. his tests are basically the wileyplus hw (which is super long btw and kinda annoying). his labs were pretty fun & he seems intimidating but it's only if you don't pay attention & slack off. i didn't do hw very often and averaged a B on most tests without studying.

Great professor, just annoying work has to be done both online (hw) and in lecture (worksheets). His class is not difficult at all, but he does expect you to hold your own weight when it comes to studying for exams. Very doable, I would recommend for general chemistry.

Very organized and methodical; laid out the entire course in the syllabus... no surprises. Grade includes lab, hw, 4 exams with some extra credit, some quizzes. Good amount of HW online but helped/doable; gave us a study sheet with every topic on the tests. Really fair & caring. He posted lecture notes late one time, but printed them out for us.

You can tell that he enjoys what he is teaching and that really rubbed off on me. I simply took one Of his classes (chem130) and it made me change my major to chemistry. Make sure to keep up with the weekly online homework and study for the tests. Tests will only hurt you if you solely base your studying off the notes.

overall hes a pretty good professor. can be intimidating @ times but thats only if you dont follow directions. tests are not too difficult but sometimes the FRQs are way different from the notes or HW. he gives A LOT of HW so be prepared. only three tests so make sure to make them count. i had him for lab as well and he walks you through it well

Professor Frechen is a great instructor. Chemistry is a difficult subject. If you do not spend time with the material outside of class, you can expect to not do well on the exams. Professor Frechen is a good lecturer, gives a fair amount of homework, and is reasonable on exam grading. If you are making an effort, he is friendly and will help you.

Well who does say chemistry is easy like H2O, I enjoyed and learned so much with Professor Frechen! he means well, and I loved his jokes, it made chemistry bearable! one of the best professor at OCC! I wished he teached CHEM 180 and beyond! As a DSPS student, I learned so much especially stoichiometry! So all the best Professor and Thank you !

The main tip, go to office hours! In these reviews, he's misunderstood, I was the only student go to office hours. He is very generous to answer questions, caring, and helpful. He's very clear about what he expects for work on tests. Plan out daily work and practice like math. He changed my negative feelings and greatly prepared me for General Chem

Prof. Frechen is a great guy. He has a great heart. He tells you many stories about his life and stuff. I took his Chem 130, 180, 185 with labs. So, I know him so well. He remembers his students by name. Read his notes carefully, and do all of the problems that he does in class on your own. it is not an easy A class. However, I got A's. Take him.
