I have had this professor twice (one for a seminar and one for chem 123), and he is so funny and caring. It is clear he prioritizes understanding and genuinely cares for his students. His lectures are useful, and his grading is fair. Honestly I would take him for a third time and recommend him to anyone.

The Case Against Science class was interesting but there was a lot less lecture than I was expecting. I was hoping he'd share his knowledge of the subject more but it was more group work and presentations. Fun class but do know that going into that

He's a really nice professor and his lectures are fun. He talks about topics like acid rains, global warming, how small stuff can affect our world in a great way. However, his exams don't make any sense. Take my advice and google his previous exams. Attendance is compulsory. Review the iClicker questions, and read all the lecture slides. Good luck!

Great professor. Incredibly knowledgeable about the course material and current events, so connected the two together in really interesting ways to teach fascinating facts. It was online so biweekly homework, twice weekly quick online quizzes, and a final group project. Not difficult and ample extra credit offered. He tried hard to accomodate.

By far the best professor I've ever had in the chemistry department. He's passionate about what he's teaching and very kind to his students. I took him for chem 150 and 123 and I wish he was teaching more courses because he's very knowledgeable. He's a very sweet, kind, and generous professor.

I had Professor De Vries for both CHEM 123 and CHEM 150. He is one of the most compassionate and flexible professors I've had, looking to ensure that students learn without having to worry about getting the grade they deserve. His lectures are very reflective of the exams and his weekly homework is never excessive, covering the topics adequately.
