Reviews of professor Brian Van Hoozen

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
He's a very solid professor. The weekly workload for his class is extremely reasonable, and his tests range from easy to fair. His lectures are pretty intuitive and he answers questions well. All in all just a generally good guy. I can't think of anything to fault him with.

Not going to lie this class made me switch my major. This class took up 90% of my time my first semester. Van hoozen Is very information heavy and gives many assignments and projects (not all group projects) This class is also combined with a lab class where half the time no one knew what to do. He will also answer all questions with a question.

He really does care for his students and is super nice, his exams though aren't. His lectures obviously don't reflect the exam because he does easy warm up problems as it's up to the students to find more harder practice questions. His exams are difficult but can still pass with a good grade due to other assignments. Lots of Aleks & very math heavy

I took Professor V for both Gen Chem 1 & 2 and he is a great teacher who thoroughly explains the concepts that are taught during lecture and is happy to answer questions. Homework (on ALEKS) is often overwhelming so it's best to start a few days before it's due. The exams are difficult but has similar problems as the examples given during class

Professor Hoozen of Van is a good lecturer. He writes on a whiteboard and records it. Easy to follow. Major downside is LOTS of Aleks. Good opportunities to raise your grade tho. Tests are hard but if you study and pay attention in class you'll be fine.

 His exams are pretty difficult, but he's a great professor. The final for his class is department wide, so every chemistry student takes the same final, however, for the final I was prepared a lot. His homework is ALEKS, which takes some time to do, but helps a lot. I still remember all of general chemistry because of him.
