If you are a super smart Chem major you may like him but for the average student he is way over the top. I would rather shoot myself in the face with a cross bow than take his class again. I asked for help and was told to "find a buddy" Don't we pay Millersville to teach us. When I dropped class there were 11 people left. How is that even allowed.

what can i say about dr wismer?.... HORRIBLE. AVOID TAKING HIM. He expects a lot, has a quiz every week, and wont help you if you need it. not to mention the stuff that he puts on the quizes are completely irrelevent. Just dont take him..

If your just looking for an easy gen-ed class, I wouldn't take this class. It's not too bad, but there is a quiz every other class period and if you don't study and take good notes, don't expect to do well. He offers a lot of extra credit though... not too bad if you're willing to put the effort in.

he's a very nice guy, knows his stuff and is enthusiastic about teaching. that being said, he can be very hard to follow during class, gets distracted easily and all the quizzes are based on notes in class. gives plenty of extra credit opportunities.

Chem100 can be very difficult, especially if you haven't had chem in a few years. He tries to explain things as best as he can, but it doesn't always seem clear. He always volunteers office hours and will help you if you go to him. He offers tons of extra credit, even though most people don't know it. (READ THE FIRST PAGE OF THE SYLLABUS)

What can be said that hasn't been already said? Exams are much harder than most other professors because he wants you to critically think. It also doesn't help that exams are timed only 30 min to take. Over half have dropped. Homework helps significantly. May throw temper tantrum if class doesn't study prior to recitation.

Dr. Wismer is a fabulous professor if you are taking CHEM 111, or CHEM 112 as a core class. Anything and everything you want to know about chemistry this man knows it! Tests ?s are very difficult if you don't study, but he gives you exact replicas of the test ?s 2 days before the test! How much easier could he honestly make it for you?

Very helpful during office hours. If you don't do the homework, you not pass the class, because his tests are hard. They are generally 30 minutes; although HE DOESN'T REQUIRE ANSWERS!!! All he wants are the setups, so don't waste time banging numbers out on a calculator. Do the homework, then work on speed before the test.

Excellent professor, knows chemistry. Difficult exams designed to test if you did your homework and studied. Failed him p-chem class these first time around. Would take his class again without reservation. Learned more about working hard in life than anything else from him, some chemistry as well. Thanks Dr. Wismer! Class of 1982.

Took him for "Teacher's Chemistry" as I called it, quizzes were easy if you paid attention in class and did your labwork, went over how to make beer at the end of the semester because really, none of us cared by that point.

Amazing Person! Amazing class cause it actually made me learn by myself. Yes you do a lot of learning by yourself, which has benefits. As long as you TRY your homework and ask questions, there should be no problem in his class.

I wouldn't recommend taking him for a required course. He's incredibly experienced, but has had almost 4 decades to come up with layers upon layers of policies for every little detail of everything you do in the class. It's easy to miss something, and he can get really spiteful if you do.

Would take again

Best professor and advisor! Dr. Robert K Wismer represents principle, fairness, integrity, caring, patience, and passion. If you have no intention on learning but expect an easy A, he's not that kind of professor for you. Thank you for 4 wonderful years at Millersville, for your career and life advices, Dr. Wismer. Your student class of 99'.
