Reviews of professor Merlin Tiede

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Amazing Professor! I knew nothing about Chemistry and managed to learn everything easily and passed with an A. He does a great job at answering questions in class and won't move on until you are comfortable with the material. DO the homework. That will help you tremendously on the test. He answers emails quickly as well so email him with any questions.

Graded attendance. Answers any questions you have and has no problem explaining things multiple times. He goes over anything you might need to know for the test. I think hes a great teacher.

I had professor Tiede for lab only. He is a fair grader and returns emails the same day. Every time I reached out for help he was responsive, helpful, and very overall a good professor. He grades fairly and is a solid choice.

Professor Teidi is a nice person in general, but is very picky at at how he wants things done, his way or the highway. Lets say he wants things done to be easier for him but not convenience to us as paying students.

If someone said they enjoyed him or this class they're lying. I took hybrid so tests in person and only 4. 10 quizzes and all very hard. My highest exam grade was an 81. The material is all too advanced for a chem intro and we covered ORGANIC CHEM. Good guy but horrible prof. IF YOU STRUGGLE WITH CHEM DO NOT HAVE HIM AS YOUR PROF.

I took his Chem 130 lab class, and he graded harder than you would believe. He rarely showed up on time, and he would be rude to students sometimes. 10/10 would never take his class again.

Genuinely a terrible instructor amidst of a pandemic. Most of the material he covered or provided wasnt even helpful towards the test. This Professor honestly didnt care about how you do in the class. He rushes to get things done and didnt offer any extra credit or corrections on a test a quiz.

This professor has been so nice throughout the winter semester of 2021. He makes things very clear since the beginning. His lectures are not amazing but they are clear and he uses lots of examples. He gives extra points and is very considerate. The homework load felt normal, nothing crazy. He has a really soothing voice.
