Reviews of professor Nicholas Reiter

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures are pointless, I never went. He would just read off the slides. I just read the textbook and took notes on the slides right before each exam and it was fine. It's a class where you will need to teach yourself the material, but the exams aren't bad if you study and follow his power-points. Just study hard and it's manageable.

Doesnt explain what will be on exam, flies through hundreds of slides a week with little explanation.

Dr. Reiter is the nicest guy, he truly wants everyone in his class to succeed. Very passionate about what he is teaching and it is obvious. Tries to help students out anyway he can. Also, shows extreme knowledge for the subject.

Dr. Reiter was a very caring, understanding and respected teacher all throughout CHEM 1002. He clearly is passionate about the subject and knows his stuff well enough to help students succeed. He is also very fair when grading and offered generous curves or threw out questions when given feedback by students. Definitely would recommend him.

Dr. Reiter was a very caring and supportive teacher throughout CHEM 1002. He showed his extreme knowledge of chemistry aspects and was very considerate with grading tests. He would either curve or throw out questions that were not understood.

Dr. Reiter is very passionate about chemistry and he really wants his students to do well. He provides lots of help outside of class and chances for extra credit. Having the class fully online was awkward at times but it helps if you participate. There are weekly quizzes and a good amount of homework but if you stay on top of it you'll do fine.

Yes the class moves fast, but there is a lot of material that needs to be covered in every chem lecture regardless of professor. Tests are curved and questions are taken off if majority of class gets it wrong (he's understanding). Review sessions are helpful, all slides are posted on d2l, and review guides are similar to the content on exams.

A great teacher, and very educated on his topic. Wants each and every student to succeed and understand the topics of general chemistry.

Seems like a nice guy but so so so so incredibly boring. I never know what's going on and I actually pay attention during lectures. It's like the guy has never taught a class. I could teach better with my current chem knowledge. so confusing. so boring. can't explain anything to save his life. Had to teach myself chemistry from the book.

Reiter knows what he is talking about. Ironically, his lectures are quite pointless. Read the textbook, take notes on the slides, and work through sample problems and you'll be just fine. This class was basically something I just had to teach myself. He is helpful outside of class, but I would not take his class again if given the choice.
