Reviews of professor John Gary

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I love this man, he really makes chemistry not awful which is a crazy concept. I 10/10 recommend him. His class is hard but he's a great guy and does his job.

His classes are all lectures through PowerPoint. It's basically your responsibility to take notes or you won't learn anything. You HAVE to pay for the Alecks assignments online ($100+). Tests are pretty easy if you pay attention in class, around 20-25 MCQ and 4-5 FRQ.

He is just awesome. Very caring, and insanely smart. He actually makes chemistry interesting. He's a great and funny guy. Tests are very simple and straight from notes and homework- multiple choice and two math questions. Grade A+ professor!

Chemistry is very difficult for me, but Dr. Gary's willingness to answer questions and caring attitude helped a ton. Lots of lecture videos, but you can watch hi-speed and preview PowerPoint PDFs. ALEKS homework software was the worst part of the class. Everything was well-organized on D2L comprehensively. Highly recommend him for CHEM 1311+1111!

Dr. Gary is a great professor! Wants his students to succeed and truly cares about them. I took him for GenChem, never regretted it!  Attendance wasn't mandatory, but if you skip the class (don't review online material) you will fail. Replies quickly to emails, and is always available for students. No quizzes, 3 exams, and the final is cumulative.

Professor Gary is great. The lectures are pretty long but he has his way of explaining them very well that they're easy to understand. If you need help, he is available during his office hours. TAKE HIM!

Gary is very UNDERSTANDING. He wants his students to understand the material and is willing to take the time to answer questions. The lecture is pretty heavy for an 8-week course. The lab was my favorite. The homework is not heavy.

Dr. Gary taught Gen Chem 1311 Lab and made sure it ran smoothly. The lab requires participation in activities that take material learned in class and applies them into lab assignments. The assignment is usually 1 per week and can be completed the same day of the lab. Dr. Gary usually gives helpful tips about the assignment at the start of the Lab

He's really great. If you are taking Gen Chem 1 definitely do it with him. He tests WAY easier than the other professors so it's easier to get an A.
