I LOVE to listen to this guy lecture. I now want to be an analytical chemist

have to take this course! awesome!

While a very difficult class, he is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He will explain a topic, then pause the lecture for students to try a sample problem. After giving students a few mins to try the problem, he works it on the board. He is extre

i love this professor! he is great! though he takes attendance and give quizzes regularly, he teaches the material very, very well and makes sure that students learn it. he offers several review sessions before tests, and even has weekly study sessions.

The material was hard, however,he and his TAs (go BROOKE!),were truly there for you and wanting to help the best they could and I realized that towards the end of this semester and now. He is one of the most intelligent people I have ever met.

Dr. Goode is far from my best teacher, however, he is the easiest teacher teaching this course. Chemistry 112 is hard, but if you study his practice exams and book problems, you should do well.

This fella was one of the most intellectual, caring and just all around, a great guy I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. His teaching style is much more hands on than lecture and straight powerpoint. He always makes himself readily available to his

Intimidating at first, but just ask for help. He is extremely compassionate and an excellent teacher. Effort required but you come out knowing your stuff!

He scared me to death at first,I considered dropping the class but he encouraged me to stick it out. I did and he turned out to be one of the best professors I have ever had. Tests are hard, but not impossible; I ended up with a B+.(A tutor helps)

Incredibly caring, you actually have to LEARN the stuff! I took Chem 111 at UGA and compared to that chem 112 at USC was SOO easy, this is NOT a hard class, you just have to learn the material! He's a great teacher, goes through material quickly in class so read the book to clarify.

he is a good guy. class was hard and he expects you to know everything...not just know but understand it in many different ways. not a class just to memorize u have to learn here! but i liked him and he offers a lot of things to pull ur grade up! goode is good...take him! and dr. goode is hot!!haha

I learned a lot. The class wasn't easy so don't expect to glide through but it is very helpful when you are a science major or pre-med. He really cares that you learn.

Great teacher, really cares, offers plenty of extra credit to pull up your grade. Tests will be dificult if you don't understand the concepts, but if you study and know the stuff the class becomes very easy and almost enjoyable.

don't listen to these dumbasses.they are essentially chemistry geeks.if ure one of those who want an easy A or atleast a B then take Dukes..Why take a harder teacher when there is an easy one?Goode wrote the damn book so he expects u to learnEVERYTHING..tests are impossible..VERY HARD..DONT TAKE HIM

Extremely helpful preofessor. Gives TONS of extra credit and really wants students to do well. Has student led study sessions nightly and gave us a retest to boost the class average. Makes chemistry pretty interesting and fun. Very helpful professor and strongly recommended.

He's really nice. He is willing to help you with anything. He gives a TON of extracredit. and even though he gives a lot of quizes, you get a partner, and they are super easy. his test are harder though, but you get to have study sessions, and he gives you like half the answers.

Dr Goode is an AMAZING professor. He loves what he teaches and it shows. He very much wants his students to do well and gives plenty of EC opportunities. He challenges students to learn the material instead of spitting it back out, so tests are difficult but doable. Most students have an A or B.

Very good teacher. If you understand CAPA, you'll make atleast a B on every exam. He gives so much extra credit that you're a joke if you can't make a B. People that actually try make an A because exams come straight from CAPA and he even has previous exams from other semesters online you can study

Very good professor. Give a lot of extra credit...takes partial credit on exams...even if you don't know how to do a problem, rewrite the problem and you get partial credit.

Best professor ever and much hotter than Dr. Freeman!

HE is a great professor! i had him for Chem112, and that is why i took him for Chem321. Yes he is a challenging professor, but it is very doable. If you are looking for the ez way out, yeah u may want to avoid him, but if u are looking to learn something he is a great professor. He explains things very well! and encourages office hrs! Goodluck

Boy, did I learn a lot. THis guy works harder than any prof I've ever had.

Overall, this class wasn't at all that bad. If you do the work (and there's a lot of work!) you'll get the grade. You'll get out of this class what you put into it, Dr. Goode is not just going to hand you your A, have to work for it. I actually learned a lot more than I anticipated, and took a lot with me from this class.

Dr. Goode knows what he is talking about, he just is not always the best at conveying it to the class. He wants you to be there, but if you read the power points, you don't have to go to class every lecture. He assigns alot of homework, and his tests can be challenginh, but if you ask him for help he will usually try to help.

Dr. Goode really knows his stuff - he wrote the book! However, having had no prior chemistry (no, not even in HS), I found it EXTREMELY hard to keep up with the material. GO TO CLASS and go to SI sessions and you should be ok.

i LOVE dr.goode!i've had dukes and zurloye and he surpasses them by a long shot. he's taught me more in 3 months than i've learned in 3 years of chem!he condenses OWL's down-they're easy.his tests have been good so far,and he drops one.quizzes are amazingly easy.i have 110 on all of them.gives a lot of extra credit,too.TAKE HIM!

Goode is my favorite professor. He is a really nice and helpful guy. You do earn your grade. He gives lots of extra credit. The exams reflect his practice exams really well.

Very easy class. First chemistry class ever that I have gotten any pleasure out of and that's a credit to Dr. Goode.

Dr. Goode knows his stuff. He DID help write the textbook and patent the two periodic tables of elements that are on the walls. But don't let that scare you. Go to class, DO the OWL, take notes and pay attention. His quizzes won't be hard if you do this. And he does give TONS of bonus points. And do his practice exams! They are his old tests!

He's the best ever. I;m a senior and have had a zillion profs, but none like this one. Sure he's hard, but you'll learn and you'll actually like chemistry.

EXCELLENT professor, genuinely cares about students performance, my favorite professor that ive ever had, tests are difficult but he does excellent preparation

He is a good teacher and he is really nice and tries to make class fun and interesting. I like him and he teaches well too. He is easy to understand. Pay attention in class because the problems he does during class are just like the ones on the test.

Probably my favorite teacher my freshman year. Very fun class. Loved his experiments. Learned TONS. This class is a lot of work but he gives lots of bonus oppurtunities. Would definitely recommend over the other guys.

Goode was a great teacher! I took this class my senior year and had no trouble catching back up from freshman 111. He is very interested in helping you learn and gives a lot of in-class demonstrations. His quizzes seem nerve wrecking, but everything he does is designed to help the students. I highly recommend him over the other teachers

most helpful science teacher ive had yet. class isnt easy, but he offers tons of bonus opportunities. go to class b/c there are random lecture quizzes which are easy 100s & VERY helpful to study for tests. do your owl!! it can slip up on u, but it can help or hurt ur grade a little. an A in his class is a 92, so work hard! but GREAT teacher, take h

Very good professor. Knowledgeable and passionate about his subject, available to his students, and puts very serious thought into how he approaches teaching in general. If you aren't lazy, it's not hard at all to pass. His grading scale is a little different, but he offers tons of extra credit to compensate.

He is the man!!! Lots of online hw, but the questions are just like whats on the test. Quizzes are given and you take them with a partner...easy he just gives you points for stuff and he gives partial credit. He also has extra credit opportunities.

Dr. Goode is the self-professed hardest chem teacher (he's also the only one who takes attendance). His tests are challenging and the homework load is pretty intense. Despite all this, he is eager to help his students. He has a good sense of humor and is extremely knowledgeable. You should be okay as long as you study a lot and do the extra credit.

Dr. Goode is so awesome. He really cares about everyone receiving good grades and offers a lot of help. The class is not easy, but it isn't hard to get a good grade. My first priority when signing up for chem 112 was to have Dr. Goode.

He is a very good teacher

Great teacher and was my nicest teacher. Explains things well and is passionate about teaching

Dr. Goode is SO awesome. He works hard to be available to students. He is willing to meet one on one and explain things to you. Dr. Goode is fun and nice and I LOVE his class. I had him for Chem 111 and went out of my way to ensure that he was my teacher for chem112

I had Dr. Goode for both chem 111 and 112 and he is the best! He always encourages students to do their best, gives many bonus opportunities, and explains everything very thoroughly. It's definitely a hard course and need to study the book, but his tests are fair and gives some credit for at least attempting a problem. Take him, you'll love him!!

Dr. Goode was an amazing teacher. If you just pay attention in class and take notes you'll never use your book for anything. He's a great guy and its shows in his teaching. Take him, you'll be sure to pass.

This guy is the man! Great teacher know what he is talking about. Take him!

Dr. Goode is amazing!! He also has great TAs.

Um i totally disagree with most of the things posted on here. i had a very good chem teacher in high school and i still thought his class was hard! he FLIES through the material! Tests cover so much material. Also, he always seemed to act like a superior smartass. I wouldnt recommend him.

I lovee this class! I thought I'd hate chem but Dr. Goode made it interesting and fun. He did many experiments during class and also gives you many extra credit opportunities. These help your grade a TON if you do them. Take Dr. Goode!!! He's the best!

I took a few really hard chem classes in high school, and even though I didn't really understand the material I still had good teachers. I finally started to understand chem when I took Dr. Goode's class. You really have to pay attention and read through the book yourself, but he's a really good teacher and even offers helpful exam reviews!

Dr. Goode is a very good teacher! He knows his chemistry. I had no chemistry background coming into his class, and he almost KILLED me! This class is really really challenging, but if you're willing to put forth some effort you can do well in the class. His exams are crazy, his final exam was 25 pages! Go to his office hours! I ended up with a B.

He's really cute, like a happy santa. He's helpful and knows his stuff. He uses OWL which is 100X better than ALEKS. Tests are lengthy, but if you study and read the material and pay attention in class you should be good. Could've made an A if more effort was put in, so don't slack off! He allows index cards on the test.

He goes off on a lot of tangents but makes the class interesting. He wastes a lot of class time on weekly health quizzes and random info not relevant to the class. Quizzes sometimes twice a week, required recitation quizzes weekly, and tests are unbearably long and not to the poing. However, a LOT of opportunity for extra credit.

Nicest guy, super funny in class. His tests are really tough though, you definitely have to study a good bit. Lots of homework, but it isn't busy work, OWL actually helps a lot when studying.

Very tough tests, but he is a fair man and will give a lot of extra credit. Presents interesting material in lectures, but can get off topic, so listen close. Attend every class and review session, and do all your OWL homework. Hard work is rewarded in his class.

If you do all of your O.W.L assignments and attend each class you will get an A. Never used book although he does suggest to if you need extra help.

Dr. Goode is AWESOME!!! I was a little worried at the beggining of the semester b/c I didn't do as well as I had expected on my first test, but once you get used to his formatting you should be fine. Gives beaucoup EXTRA CREDIT so there is no reason to fail the class if you study HARD, do your OWL, and make an attempt!

Dr. Goode is a great teacher. Be prepared to study a lot and he is the only professor without multiple choice tests. He tries his best to help students and he wants everyone to succeed! The extra credit towards the end of the semester can raise your grade from a C to a B+ or even an A.

He's a really nice guy, and gives TONS of extra credit. There's no reason to fail if you do the assignments. I never used the book, but he recommends it if you're struggling with the class.

Dr Goode is amazing! I had him for 111 and based my schedule around his 112 class because he is such a great professor. He's helpful with office hours and is also relatively clear. He doesn't just tell you how to get the answer he shows you the way to solve the problems. I loved his tests and there is a lot of extra credit.

Dr Goode is AWESOME! I was scared to take him because of all the bad things ive heard about him, but it's all wrong He's hard but his test are extremely doable with studying. He does tons of demonstrations and explains very clear. He makes class interesting and really wants his students to do well! I absolutely loved him. he even had a class picnic

Dr. Goode is a great Prof! He tends to go off on random tangents during lectures, but his exams aren't too bad if you study and he will meet with you as much as you want/need. He is a good man and really cares about how you do, I would recommend him if you really want to learn Chemistry. He isn't an easy A, but it is doable!

Had Dr. Goode for two semesters, and after both I can say he is one of the better professors USC has to offer. He is extremely enthusiastic about chemistry and learning. Exams aren't necessarily easy but he is very good at explaining difficult concepts, and offers a ridiculous amount of extra credit throughout the semester. Strongly recommend.

I hade Professor Goode for Chem 111 and Chem 112. He was really helpful, and he will work with you during his office hours if you need extra help. His exams are mostly concepts as the class goes on. his exams are challenging, but if you study and do OWL, you should be able to pass with an A.

Dr. Goode is an exceptional professor and guy. He cares about his students and if you show interest and enthusiasm (and miss less than a couple of lectures) then he will meet you half way. His class is hard, yet the tests are straight forward with nothing crazy on them. I highly recommend him for 112, i didnt have him for 111.

I took Goode for CHEM 112. He is a very helpful teacher and makes sure that people understand the material. He also give a ton of extra credit. I went into the final with a C and came out with a B+, I got a 92 on the final because if you do better on a certain section than that test it replace the grade.

Dr. Goode is a great science teacher. Does in class demonstrations and is always available to help. He is even pretty funny. Class is manageable, the difficulty comes from the material covered not Dr. Goode. Tests are tough but if you prepare a decent amount and go to his reviews you can easily get A's. He actually cares about his students.

Dr. Goode is the man! He gives so many extra credit opportunities, lets you drop your lowest exam grade, and records his lectures on podcasts. I definitely recommend him. I didn't take AP Chem before coming in, and am doing fine.

Dr. Goode is awesome!! He is a really nice guy and a great teacher. He makes the class interesting and is always willing to help you. He makes it really easy to do well in his class by giving a ton of extra credit. The lab is tough, but you learn a lot. I would definitely recommend him!

Amazing teacher. Records his lectures, has printable lecture notes, gives homework and practice exams which reflect the actual exam, and gives extra credit. His exams are tough, but if you study enough you'll be fine. Don't listen to people who tell you that you need AP Chem to take this class - I didn't take AP Chem and have an A now.

This class is tough, but completely worth it. This class is Dr. Goode's life, so he makes it intense, but he also does everything he can to make it easy (and to make it easy to get an A). Study ALOT for tests, they are tricky and essentially determine your grade. Read the chapter in the book before lecture.

Best teacher I had over the semester. Really tough tests but he does his best to make sure you get a good grade with lots of extra credit opportunities. Teaches his subject really well and is super involved in the class. Definitely recommend him.

I started out struggling in this class, but I ended up with an A. Take advantage of his office hours if you don't get something because Dr. Goode really cares about his students. The tests are tricky, but all the extra credit, homework, and quizzes make your final grade pretty high.

Absolutely fantastic professor. His tests are challenging, but he gives a ton of extra credit opportunities and is exceptionally encouraging to students. Go to his office hours--he is extremely friendly and approachable. He does expect that his students work hard and he has rewards for good attendance. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Goode!

Great guy, loves his job and his students

If you have any opportunity to do so, you have to take Dr. Goode. Yes this class is difficult, but you learn exponentially more and are much better prepared than 112 students. If you put in the work, I can almost guarantee you'll make an A. His desire is to make everyone happy and as knowledgeable about chemistry as possible. Take Dr. Goode!!!

Dr. Goode is an excellent professor. He makes a tremendous effort to ensure that his students are both learning chemistry and enjoying his course. He is exceptionally available to students: he has office hours at all times and answers emails at all hours. He gives timely and meaningful feedback on all assignments. Definitely take Dr. Goode!

Dr. Goode is a great guy and professor. He's extremely helpful, both in class and out, helping students to understand and master the concepts in class. Tests are difficult and labs are time-consuming, but he does his best to prepare students for everything they may see. He gives lots of extra credit to make up for the difficulty of the class.

Dr. Goode is amazing! His class is EXTREMELY difficult but if you do all the OWL hw and extra credit OWL and study you can pass. You do not need AP or really even any High School chem contrary to what people say. Tons of extra credit... Do it!! Review sessions before exams & wants us to pass. I made an A and have never taken chem before college.

He's a rough teacher, I'm not going to lie. You definitely have a leg up if you've taken AP Chem. However, his T.A's rock, he gives awesome feedback and review sessions, so many grades go in so you can save yourself. I got a C first semester and a B the next, but he'll probably be writing my med school LOR. He rocks. If you can, take him.

I took Dr. Goode both semesters my freshman year for chemistry. Years later, he's still the best professor I had in college. He learns your name and is one of those professors who actually cares about you and how you do. Yes you will have to put time into this class---welcome to college. I would definitely recommend that you take him!

Really enjoyed Dr. Goode. He is probably one of the best professors I've taken on campus. He has students over to his house every year for a cookout. Really nice and funny guy. That being said- you will do some real Chemistry. Labs/Exams are rough, but well worth it. I had taken College Chem before (for no credit) but still learned a ton.

Have no doubt this class is very difficult, but Dr. Goode is by far the best teacher I have ever had in my life. I have never seen a person so devoted to seeing his students succeed in and outside of class. It truly is a humbling experience to be taught by such an intelligent man. Love this guy. I never took AP chem and got an A with hard work.

Dr. Goode is a fantastic teacher. He gives amazing lectures and really cares about his students. Additionally, he creates a fun and interesting classroom environment. The tests can be a little hard, but there is a lot of extra credit available. Definitely take him!

Dr. Goode is one of the impactful professors I've ever had. He really cares about his students' grades, and if you go to his office he is more than happy to explain anything. For a tough subject that's even tougher in honors, he makes chemistry make sense. Expect to spend a lot of time doing work outside of class though- long homework and labs.

Dr. Goode is one of the most genuine and caring professors you will probably meet in college. While the class is difficult, he makes it enjoyable by being passionate and absolutely loving what he does. Be prepared to put in the time to be successful, and he will be there to help you along the way along with his amazing TA's.

Dr. Goode is fantastic, he is in love with chemistry and tries to get his students too as well. He cares that everyone learns the material even though at times it may seem impossible to grasp. If ever you're unsure of something then ask him and he'll gladly help. His tests are insanely long and difficult but he tries hard to give you partial credit

My favorite Professor I've ever taken. Not an easy class, but if you work hard, you'll have a good shot at making an A. He grades very fairly even though tests questions might be rough and he gives lots of extra credit.

Dr. Goode is by far my favorite professor I've had. This is the only teacher that I really feel like cares about your success. The class is incredibly work intensive, but you come out of it a much better student and an expert in labs. Getting an A is manageable by any honors student so long as you do the work and the extra credit. Great teacher

LITERALLY the best professor. So fun, nice and accessible. I did miserably first semester, okay second semester and still got a letter of recommendation from him.

He's an amazing chemistry teacher! He really cares about his students and you can get an A as long as you put the effort out. He's a funny guy and gives extra credit on all his quizzes for knowing old songs; he gives a lot of extra credit. The material is hard, but he'll help you get through it.

Dr. Goode really cares that his students understand the material and do well in his class. He provides lots of extra credit opportunities throughout the semester and is available to answer any questions students have. Attendance is mandatory though and this is not an Easy A. Homework is heavy.
