Tom is a really good professor. I'd say he's great, but he often makes mistakes on the board and confuses people that way. What I like is that he gives lots of practice work for you to do, because you need to do that stuff ino order to understand it. I would recommend him because of his clearity and helpfulness. He's also pretty funny, which helps.

Thomas is a great guy and willing to help you at any time. He sometimes is confusing in presenting his questions on the quiz and exams. Beware, his exams are tricky, particularly the multiple choice. I, for one, don't like to be tricked. I don't believe tricking students really measures their knowledge. I'd rather have a hard and untricky exam

Nice & understanding. Usually gives points back to the class on every exam. 89% = A! HOWEVER, prepare to do a lot of outside reading as his presentations aren't very clear or super interesting. Communicates well enough but you will definitely rely on your text to fully understand. Gives test grades back super fast. SLIDES = the quizzes. Take him

do your homework and the practice exams and you will get an A

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I dont know what other people are talking about in their comments. If you read the chapters he assigns you will do great! All of the people complaining want the material spoon fed to them. its college, grow up and do your work. Funny guy too. Highly recommended. One of the better profs in the GV chem dept. no doubt

Dr. Dueweke is a good professor, i had him for lab and i really enjoyed it. he is very hard on his grading, and somewhat difficult to approach, but overall he's a good professor.

Professor Dueweke is an excellent professor. I've only had him for biochem (chm 232) so i dont know how he is in lower chemistry classes. But as a biochem professor, he rocked. He made an A in biochem obtainable. I definately recommend this professor if you want to succeed in chm 232. Just make sure you go to office hours!!

Super nice guy and he grades on a curve! His lectures are kind of boring and the review guides he gives for tests/quizzes are pretty intimidating, but he is extremely willing to help out his students. Not condescending like a lot of Chem profs can be. I'd take the class with him again for sure.

I really like this prof. If you ask him questions he will answer you everyday language which most chem professors have trouble with The test and quizzes are hard but reading the book and doing the problems really helps. Make sure you pay attention to the quizzes and study guide ahead of time and ask questions on them for the tests!

One of the best chm professors I've ever had. He understands that none of us are chem majors and we don't really care for the subject so he just taught us the essentials. He really tries to help his students, so go to his office hours. He cares about this subject a lot, as well as his students, I would absolutely recommend him for this class

BEST PROF FOR 232! Getting an A really is obtainable. He is EXTREAMLY helpful during office hours so go to them. Reading the book is a large part of understanding the content of class. He talks in plain English so lectures are not way over your head. He does teach as though you took 115/116, but I took 109 and had no trouble.

Dueweke was awesome! Take him rather than nikkel. At least his exams are bearable. He was hard and you WILL daze or fall asleep for the entire class hour, so be prepared. But GO to his discussion because you will literally understand everything once you go. Read the book, its essential for the worksheets. Overall I would recommend him!

This professor is great! He's very clear in his explanations, and he's very helpful and patient. He's also funny! Take him for 116!

Very approachable and helpful professor. Lectures tend to be boring, he's a biochem guy and it shows. I found very little of this class actually related to my major, but he still taught the information quite well. Attend discussion, tests/quizzes based off those questions! I would certainly recommend this professor!

He teach so fast, so it's little hard to understand. However he cover most stuff and he clarly point out what is important or not.

The best prof to take for CHM 116, this is a hard class and if you do not do work outside the classroom you will not do good. If you put in the work you can do good which is not always true with other CHM 116 profs.

I am not sure why there are negative ratings for Dr Dueweke. You do have to put in the work to get the grade; after all that's why we are going to college. He is extremely helpful during office hours and adds a touch of humor "as you can imagine" :) He uses a variety of examples; keep your eye on the concepts and you will do fine.

This is a hard class no matter who you take it with. Lectures were a bit boring but the professor was more than willing to help outside of class. He wanted students to understand and do well. He expects you to remember alot from Organic Chem. I enjoyed having him as a professor even if I didnt do as well as I would of liked

The best choice for a biochem prof. It is a hard class no matter what but he is more than willing to meet outside of class. Lectures were a bit boring but the discussions really helped in understanding the content. Reading the book is a must though.

A natural teacher. The way he breaks down the information and makes it understandable is a must for this subject and he does it well. Bichem is not easy but he is a fairly lenient grader, an eloquent speaker and throws some humor in there too. He occasionally makes analogies back to his undergrad days that are pretty funny.

He's a good guy! Go to discussion, problems are just like the worksheets. Need to know enzymes and products etc in glycolysis and Krebs cycle...he kept saying you need to know the overall scheme, but you need to know more than that.

Great guy, very knowledgable in his field. His discussions/HW are very helpful when it comes to the tests. Goes kind of quick through material, but I didn't mind it at all, I'd rather it that way. Many examples are done in class that are very helpful later on. Overall, great professor. Definitely recommended.

Professor Dueweke, a seasoned chemistry professor, is clear and precise with his expectations and explanations. He essentially assigns collaborate weekly homework to potentially enhance your chemistry knowledge, during which he quietly erases the board and observes. He potentially allows your final test grade to replace a potential low test grade.

Professor Dueweke is good guy. Very intelligent and is always open to help. He assigns online homework and gives worksheets that are very relevant to the information to be tested on. Sometimes gets a little off topic. Good professor overall.

Professor Dueweke, is potentially one of the best professors I have had. He essentially is great at explaining topics and providing potential tools to essentially receive a potential A in the class. Be sure to attend class Friday as he gives group work as he quietly erases the board and discusses his potential relations with essential duewekesauce.

He is a really clear prof, and he makes things really easy to understand the firs time they are explained. But if you don't understand it the first time it is more difficult to find time to get help because he isn't very helpful. He is helpful in class and through email, but he isn't when you try to go for office hours.

He is nice, funny and helpful. All you need to do is ask. Homework is easy, you do it in class in groups, grades on completion for most part. The study guides are super helpful for the tests and quizzes. Goes over labs in lecture. He does expect you to have had chemistry before and mostly know the stuff. Great for freshman with APChem experience.

I had him for biochem lab and he was great. He would clearly go over the lab at the start of class so even if you weren't prepared, he'd let you know what you'd be doing and how to do it. If you had questions, he was very good at steering you in the right direction. Sometimes he'd just tell you the answer! He's super funny too.

I loved this teacher! he tries to make cheesy jokes all the time in class. Offers a lot of things to raise grade - basically gives 100% on all homework if you try! If you do better on your final you can replace it with your worst test grade. Highly recommend! (I skipped class like 4 times and did just fine. slides all online - don't buy textbook

He assumes you already know a lot. His grading is very fair and he is very willing to help. His lectures are kind of boring. Overall I think he's a good professor who cares about his students. He's just not very enthusiastic.

He is so intelligent. He has years of laboratory experience with pharmaceuticals. His class is tough. He doesn't always convey things in simple terms. Get a tutor for additional help. He will go out of his way to help you. I'm not sure how it would be in a large class setting. Great guy and will help you get thru with a passing grade if you try!

I went to Dueweke's office hours a few times. He was super helpful and approachable. He is tough - what do you expect? I really respect Dr. Dueweke because he buffers our the final grade with webassign, homework, quizzes, lab & exams. I went to the CSC alot too for help with homework. (Prof Parks is awesome) don't take chem if you don't want to try

If you had AP CHEM, this is the teacher for you! Barely studied and got 100% on every exam. Quizzes can be tough, but tests outweigh them. Homework is easy. Ask questions if you are confused. He teaches the basics of chem, so it's an easy class with him. Reading the book helps out with concepts. His tests are straightforward. Recommend him!

He is a great guy. Honestly,he is one of the smartest guys that I know. Although, sometimes he is so smart he has trouble "dumbing" it down for us. He does want you to pass though. DO his hw, webassign, and focus on his test. The biggest thing for me was that sometimes he would teach us something in class then admit he went on a tangent. Great prof

Great professor! He isn't the best at explaining things but his lectures are hilarious. CHM115 was a review of high school chem for me so the class was easy and enjoyable. If you feel confident in Chemistry, take him just for his amusing jokes and casual lectures. Tests were not difficult and he gave great study guides. Very small work load.

I loved Professor Dueweke! He made lectures, that were pretty heavy at times, very enjoyable. He makes sure you know what will be on tests and quizzes with homework questions that are most likely in the same format. He is super laid back and genuinely wants you to learn!

Great prof. If you show up to class and pay attention passing will be easy. Quiz reviews given and test reviews. They are the exact same format as the quizzes and exams.

Dueweke is one of the best profs Ive had and made chm actually enjoyable to me, previously hating it last year. He gives you a quiz and test review that covers everything you need to know and the quiz and test are almost identical. Makes Chm 116 a BREEZE! Not to mention how nice he is. He has nothing but good intent for his students.

One of the best professors I've had at Grand Valley. Very smart man who genuinely wants you to succeed. Very laid back, will push back due dates if asked because he would rather you learn the criteria than rush through it. I would recommend.

Prof. Dueweke really knows his chemistry, and he goes through practice problems multiple times that are the same format for the quizzes and tests. His test reviews are also super helpful for the quizzes and test. He makes himself available with office hours and in the chemistry success center, too. Great guy. Also, the homework is super manageable.

students complained in my lec. about the difficulty of his class but frankly, he's so sweet! He gives extensions & FULL CREDIT on all HW! He is incredibly smart, that being said he does fly through material but I went to his office & he was so patient and kind in explaining the problems step-by-step with me! Forewarning: his tangents on biochem

116 contains hard material but this prof makes sure his students are well prepared. He gives a review for each test and quiz that often use the same exact format so if you are confident with the reviews, you'll do very well. I'd definitely recommend this prof b/c he is very down to earth and will do everything he can to help you learn the material.

Prof. Dueweke is very kind and presents the material in a way that makes sense. He is more than happy to give extensions on assignments and even rounded my final grade without my asking. I would definitely take again!

Prof. Dueweke is a funny, personable guy. I enjoyed going to his lectures, but he's kinda hard to follow. He moves pretty fast. His tests and quizzes aren't that hard; they are pretty short and he gives a really helpful study guide before. I would take him again.

I enjoyed him. His teaching styles are just different than what Im used to. Overall, I enjoyed him and his class.

Professor Dueweke is smart and passionate about chemistry which makes it easier to learn from him. He doesn't take attendance but if you don't go to class, his powerpoint notes will not make sense. His class is extremely heavily weighted on quiz and exam grades so if you're not a good test taker, it'll be hard to get an A.

Prof Dueweke cares about what he teaches, but it is hard material. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you will be lost unless you go to most of the lectures. His quizzes are good prep for the tests, which aren't super hard as long as you study beforehand.

He was a great teacher and gave us a lot of valuable tools to prepare for tests. Discussion worksheets were given out that had questions similar to tests and the study guides were basically taken directly from the tests as well. Tests are straightforward with no tricks. His powerpoints are confusing and he gets distracted easily in lecture though.

Professor Dueweke is one of the best professors I have had. The information is sometimes hard to grasp but if you spend enough time on it it is easily doable. Make sure you are motivated early on in the semester because it is hard to catch up if you have a bad test day. 3 exams, 3 quizzes, a final and online homework. Always accessible for help.

Great professor, cares about students. Don't use phone in class. Even though he's pretty chilled, not a huge fan of students using phone in class. Always finds a way to explain if you need a little help. Powerpoint lecture, with some work on board. 4 exams + final+ in class and online HW grade, not much to be graded on.

I LOVE Dueweke. He's extremely helpful if you go to his office hours, especially for lab. He was not my lab professor but my lab professor was awful so I went to Dueweke for help instead and he made everything super clear. He's a really nice guy and every time I've emailed him during quarantine, he jumped on Collaborate to help me. 10/10 recommend

Answers any questions during the lab time. Very flexible with due dates.

He was very easy on grading. Labs were simple as long as you follow directions, but I highly recommend finding someone to connect with in case you need help completing labs. He was pretty easygoing overall

I had Dueweke for CHM 115 lab and I honestly thought he was pretty good. He explained the entire lab to us and answered any questions I had. Responds to emails fast and is always willing to help you outside of class. Was also very lenient with grades and due dates as long as you explained your situation to him. Not harder than any other chem class.

He is probably one of the nicest professors I have had at GVSU. I had him for both lab and lecture. He is very helpful in lab and will help you with any questions you are having trouble with. He is very passionate about teaching, but can sometimes get off topic. It is definitely a challenging class, but he gives you everything you need to succeed.

Dr Dueweke is a good choice. However, you do have to put in quite a bit of independent effort. His notes werent always clear, and I had to do a lot on my own to understand the material. But, he answers emails fast, provides detailed test/quiz reviews, and is very helpful in office hours. Put in the work, and youll be just fine

I enjoyed having Dr. Dueweke for biochem. The content is definitely tough and sometimes it was hard to follow along with the lectures but his test and quiz reviews are amazing for studying. He makes sure that the reviews are similar to the test/quiz so you always know what to expect. He is also just a super nice and understanding prof as well.

Had Professor Dueweke for CHM116 Lab. He is very helpful at explaining material and questions over LabFlow. He also does a good job explaining material about the Lab to students that haven't yet covered in the lecture portion of the class. Overall he is very caring and helpful to students.

He is such a good lab professor! He always took the time to fully explain the assignment and would ensure everyone was doing it correctly. If the class was struggling, he took the time to go over the answers (and why they were correct) in order to ensure 100% accuracy. This is the most I have ever understood in a lab and is my highest lab grade :)

Professor Dueweke is a good lab prof, you will get an A because that is his goal and he's super great at explaining the whole lab before you start. He can be pretty moody and did snap on my lab partner and I a couple times, and he also does grade the lab report forms kind of harshly sometimes. Overall a good prof tho so I'd recommend taking him.

I had Pr. Dueweke for CHM230 lab, and he is the best lab proctor I've had. He's very attentive is lab and answered all of my questions. He's patient and if you make a mistake, he doesn't shame you. In addition, he would help my lab partner and I with our online problems (and gave us extra attempts if we couldn't get within 5 times).

Prof Dueweke, For CHEM230 Lab, very sweet prof. explains labs very well and wants you to do good. always there to guide you though the lab and make sure you get the best possible grade. One of my favorites prof yet. Would definitely take him!

He is one of the kindest professors I've had, and he cares about student success. The course he teaches is difficult no matter what. He tries his best to give you all the resources possible. I recommend him but make sure to use the resources given!

I was really struggling, I almost considered dropping the class at one point since I had a 43%, but I didnt. I visited his office hours & he really helped me get back on track and fully understand the concepts. I ended with a B+ after doing extremely well in the 2nd half of the semester and on the final, which replaces your worst exam grade.
