Not very receptive to helping students.

good lecture notes.. very boring tho!.

Um... didn't like him. He'd sometime pause in mid-sentence and start talking again about a whole other topic. He'd say one thing and write another. But I'm sure he knows what he's doing...

Horrible, very rude and not helpful. Didn't appreciate students asking questions or correcting his frequent calculation errors. Nobody in my class enjoyed him.

he is a polititian, talks alot but doesnt say anything, HOLY CRAP!!! AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES THIS??!! I FEEL LIKE I'M ON CRAZY PILLS!!!!!

This guy hasn't taught a regular class in like 15 years or something he told us at the beginning of the year and I totally believe it. He came in today and paused every 3 or 4 minutes (as opposed to 5-6 every other day) and said that he made up the lecture a half hour before class. Loser prof.

As usless as they come, tho better than some I have had. He doesn't know the material and often stumbles when teaching and when doing problems is doing some that are fairly elementary, so that when it comes to the test you are pretty screwed unless you are some kind of genious!

He's Very unclear and walks 10 times into the desk everyclass, he also can't do a simple oxidation/reduction problem. and rubs the board out with his HANDS!!! very irritating

you know you've got a bad prof when you run into him at the chem help centre asking for help about molar mass.

He has very good notes online... it's just that he dosen't know how to TEACH them... read the notes, but don't bother to go to class. It'll just get you more confused.

Wow, I never thought someone could be so confusing. I think Dr. Helleur is a nice person. However, he tries to make jokes that aren't funny and he really doesn't know how to do the material himself...let alone teach it. I think he has too much knowledge and doesn't know how to teach the basics any more. Do not get this prof!

Not the best prof in the world. If you dont like going to lectures where you feel like the prof has no idea what hes talking about, helleur is not ur guy. Dont bother goins to his lectures, the tutorials are the only thing worth going to. I didnt have a whole lot of trust in what he taught. My adivice: dont bother with his notes, read the book.

Prior to his class I loved and excelled at chemistry. Thanks to the man who took two weeks and pages of rambling just to explain n=m/M, I now detest the fact that I have to do MORE chem after him. My suggestion, avoid the man at all costs.

This guy sucks soo much, he doesn't know how to convey information to his students,he can't even say a full sentence without pausing for 2 sec afetr each word he says,he seems to be bored of the material...However, this course is super easy and If u know the formula's n=M/m and C=n/V u will probably get an 80.Me personally, i got 94 in this course.

I found that Dr.Helleur seemed bored with teaching the basics of Chemistry. The man DOES have a Ph.D in Analytical Chemistry, so I guess he doesn't really want to be teaching basics. But he could at least try to be helpful.

DOUUCCCHHHEEEE. Helpful if you want SIX DIFFERENT answers to a prelab question...And excellent if he could only understand what he was doing...he tends to flip through slides randomly. but EXCELS in pointer usage...he must must practice at home

Horrible prof! You can tell that he doesn't want to teach, and that he isn't very good at it! He demands good grades, yet when you ask him for help he does nothing but make you feel worse for not understanding. If you have him and never did chemistry before, switch classes !

man.. this guy is actually horrible, even if i know what im doing before I go into class I become confused as soon as i listen to him he teaches as if you already know chem he gets confused a lot , his classes are USELESS. i went in with an open mind. and everyone i know in my class who i know or who sits by me agrees, hes useless

He is a very friendly guy and seems as though he knows his chemistry very well ... HE JUST CANNOT EXPLAIN IT!!! He takes huge pauses between like every 5 words and really doesn't give very interesting lectures. He does, however, give extremely easy tests, and would try to help you if you are willing to approach him!

Avoid if possible! He knows his stuff but he CANNOT teach.

This guy can't teach to save his life! Unclear and generally confusing. He would make very stupid mistakes that made things just that much harder to learn. The classes are more or less not worth it-- GO TO TUTORIALS! The tutors know what they're doing and are EXTREMELY clear and helpful, unlike this guy.

Oh my god. I thought I was the only one who sat in disbelief the entire lectures. Horrible prof, screws up everything he tries to teach, I almost feel stupid after leaving his class. What a waste of 300 bucks.

I don't doubt he's probably a genius in the Lab, but lecturing is not his strong point. He finds himself mixed up or lost in other thought quite often. On a positive note, i do believe he has a genuine interest in seeing students do well. 1 on 1 time with him can be an adventure in itself, but he will do what he can for you.

Not a good prof at all! keeps getting the wrong answers for questions and always has to back track. He also starts talking about random things which has nothing to do with Chemistry, it' so difficult not to fall asleep in class :(

Seems like a nice guy, but lectures are very boring and he often gets confused or off track. Ended up missing classes and studying on my own.

Lectures were absolutely dreadful. Course material generally pretty easy. The tutorials are where all the learning was done, the TA's were very helpful. Lectures very dull and slow paced.
