Reviews of professor Brian Van Hoozen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Van Hoozen is one of the better General Chemistry I/II professors at NSU. He goes over practice problems in class that show up on his exams in a very similar format and curves exams by a question or two. He gives easy projects that are grade boosters. His tests prepare you really well for the ACS department-wide final. Take him if you can!

Overall nice guy, and good teacher. Helpful when you ask questions or go to office hours, and very helpful. Lab is straight forward and he helps with anything you may need. Although, homework heavy.. LOTS of ALEKS and exams are unfair- nothing like lecture or homework problems. I heard he curves at end of semester though.

You will spend HOURS ON HOMEWORK. Homework does not prepare you for tests but rather is distracting in terms of taking away time to be able to study for tests. Terrible terrible. Avoid at all costs.

i took him fall 202, he was really nice and caring and awkward but his notes weren't the best in my opinion and there was too much homework (aleks). lab was really easy but the tests were really hard.

Professor Van Hoozen is a really nice person, you can definitely tell he cares about his students. He is really smart, so if you don't understand something ask him to explain in a more detailed way. His labs are not that hard, but he wants to see that you are trying. Chem is hard class and his tests aren't easy at all.

Dr. Van Hoozen is great teacher. He breaks everything down. He curves every exam so you will not fail his class. The only thing I didn't like was that my final grade was a 69.95 and he couldn't give me a 70 so I can have a B-. Other then that he's great. Study and ask questions!

His lectures are unclear and confusing. his exams are math heavy and very very confusing from the formulas given. he doesnt curve tests and the lectures arent based on the tests.

Easiest professor to  take for Gen Chem 1 and 2. He explains the concepts so well and is a great professor

I think he was a good professor. I sucked on the tests but in class he taught slow and was SUPER easy to follow along with. When it came to tests I felt rushed and didn't retain the info very well, I should study more on my own. Super helpful in office hours. Would take again.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! Tests are nothing like the lecture. Tests are math-based and extremely hard. Professor does not prepare you for the tests at all. He assigns a ridiculous amount of ALEKS. His grading scale is completely different from what's on canvas. He sees students struggling and failing class and doesn't care at all. DO NOT TAKE.
