I took Dr. Fealy for Organic I and am currently taking Organic II. Although the classes are difficult, he is always willing to help and appreciates hard work. Pay attention, do your labs and HWs (points add up and are needed!) and make sure you go to office hours and study for exams! Great guy!

The greatest chem professor in Bucks. The lectures are amazing. A lot of labs, expect them to be long and stay after class. Exams are hard and long, but he makes a review day and answers all the questions. Gives homework assignments from the book. lab reports are not complicated. I am sad that there are not a lot of professors like him.

Dr. Fealy is great. Out of the chemistry professors I have had he is my favorite. Willing to help, gives a really good review before each test that prepares you for them and gives great lectures. He prints out notes packets that help guide you. The class overall is difficult but he is so willing to help out. Points add up, do the labs and hw

Dr fealy is so kind and a wonderful teacher. I had him for chem 2 and orgo 1 and he was always able to help when things got difficult. He gives practice exams and notes packets to assist in learning the material. He is patient and willing to answer any questions you have. Exams were hard because they are cumulative and the material is intense

Although I have only had Dr. Fealy for a few weeks he has been a great professor so far. I am taking his 9 week Organic 1 course and he is very thorough and makes sure that everyone understands the material.

Dr Fealy was a great professor for Organic Chem 1. His lectures help you to completely understand the material. He tells you what you will be tested on. Do the labs and hw as points add up. Thanks to him I feel like I have a solid background in O Chem 1 for when I take it for real in the fall semester at Pitt.

Dr. Fealy is the greatest professor I have ever had and he has set the standard for what I view a professor should be. He is clear and concise with his lectures, grades fairly, has plenty of office hours, but above all is a respectable man. If you can take any class he teaches, jump at the opportunity, you will not be disappointed.

Genuinely very accessible teacher. VERY strict when it comes to deadlines, only allowing one extension per semester, but always gives more than enough time to complete assignments and is very flexible when working alternative solutions out with students. His lectures are wonderful and informative and he is ecstatic when people are participating.

Amazing professor. Works with you and will help you achieve your goals. Watch all videos offered and take his ZOOM testing times rather than ProctorU or the Testing Center. The experiments were also fun but time consuming. Grades very fair and will give you an extra 2 days to complete an overdue assignment but will deduct points.

Had for CHEM-121, CHEM-122, and 6w CHEM-222. Very thorough in teaching, making complex concepts relatable to understand, and respects students' time and effort. Gives a practice exams + keys to study from, a lot of partial credit back on exams, and very lenient grader for lab reports. Would absolutely take again, if given an opportunity.

Dr. Fealy's ochem course is a great representation of a professor with enthusiasm and an ability to convey so well so much information in such a short amount of time. He is a tough grader and there is a special emphasis on independence during lab but it's all to grow the student. By the end of the course you will more than be ready for the ACS exam

Dr. Fealy cares about Chem, very clearly. He is honest when he tells you to show up, take notes, do the work and you will pass. It's not easy, but he makes sure to be accessible at any time. If you are struggling, reach out and he helps you. You can't expect to skip class, not pay attention or do half the work and pass. That's not going to work.

Dr. Fealy made a course that I was frightened to take very manageable. He makes you work hard so earning a high grade isn't a guarantee, but he took the time to explain everything which helped me out immensely. He was patient whenever we did tough labs. I highly recommend Dr. Fealy if you're willing to put the work into it.

Professor is nice at time but I feel like he sometimes gets under pressure when a lot of people ask for help during labs, which is understandable, but he could do better on his reaction when hes under pressure, he teaches very well, but he's extremely tough i felt like I was in high school again, like we are adults too relax!

Dr. Fealy is an amazing professor and truly cares about his students. This course definitely covers a lot of concepts but he is great at making himself available for questions. I would recommend signing up for tutoring at the SSC because it is extremely helpful when trying to fully understand topics. Brynn was my tutor and she was AWESOME!

Professor Ryan is in my opinion one of the greatest professors in STEM at bucks, his class is not an easy class and you can tell that he puts a lot of effort to make you understand the topics. His practice exams are the best way to practice for the tests and partial credit was given also. the labs were heavy and a lot of work for doing a good lab.

Dr Fealy prints out note packets based on the free textbook for each chapter before class. Offers 1 extension as well as drops the lowest exam, lab report, lab activity, and hw as well as rounding up grades at a certain decimal. Fantastic guy and great prof, always makes me excited to know more about chemistry each day. +Great class for chem majors

Dr. Fealy was one of the best professors I have had! Org chem is definitely not an easy course, but the way he explains the concepts and connects them to different analogies made the course that much easier to understand. Be sure to do the practice exams before exams and study them and you should be okay!
