Reviews of professor Gerald Knizia

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
His accent in combination with how fast he talks can be very confusing, especially if you're already not great at chem (like me). The class is VERY structured and you have assignments nearly every day. If you do all of your assignments then you have a chance, but it's not easy if you haven't taken AP Chem.

Professor Knizia is absolutely awesome! He has a slight accent, but once you get used to it is, it's very easy to understand him clearly. His lectures are not mandatory, though you do get graded on attendance and participation. It is a tough class, but there are plenty of resources to help you succeed if you really want to! Highly recommend!

Chem 110 is tough with anyone and dr. knizia's thick accent makes him tough to understand but you can he cares about chemistry and the students.

you're basically teaching yourself the course, but there are a lot of resources available to help you be successful. review cat quiz and class poll questions. do the concept review and three practice exams before each exam. there are three midterms (30 1-point MC questions) and a final (40 1-point MC questions).1% extra credit option. it'll be okay

The Professor was hard to understand most of the time. You would be better off putting in the effort to self-study the course by watching pre-lecture videos and youtube videos on your own time rather than trying and understand in class. His lecture powerpoints are helpful to review before the exam. Get ready to do a lot of work outside class.

Really nice guy, but you will learn basically nothing from the lectures. The recitation is absolutely pointless and does not help at all. Exams are insanely hard. Get ready to teach yourself chemistry if you take him.
