Comments:CHE 2416 - This course has taken an interesting turn from when it used to be taught. It appears that the chemistry department, after increasing the credit hours, had Dr. Mansell incorporate more exams and assignments into the overall grade. While Dr. Mansell is a good overall teacher and is willing to help with all assignments and lab reports, the big lab report at the end is not my favorite. This course is structured in an unusual way, with lab reports accounting for 40% of the grade (approximately one figure assignment every two weeks), 20 of the grade coming from exams, and the remaining 40%. I found this course to be somewhat frustrating, which had nothing to do with Dr. Mansell himself, but more with the course content, as I'm not sure why this course is taught. If you are a chemistry or biochemistry major, you will have to take it, and since there is usually only 1 section per semester, you're going to be making your schedule around this course. Overall, such a bizarre course; this is kind of all over the place, but Dr. Mansell is kind and is always willing to help. The exams aren't too difficult either if you put in work to understand how to use the equations (which can be confusing at first)  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:2416 - He is super kind and easy to relate with, but he cannot teach. The exams are online, but that does not matter because they are so difficult and take so long to complete. The concepts are not hard, but he does not explain what he is asking for, which makes the assignments difficult to complete. For example, he does not mention how to format lab reports or what to include in the reports. He then waits a month or two before grading (many lab reports have been submitted in the mean time) and then takes off a lot of points for formatting, which he never mentioned during class. He also does not know what he is talking about during lectures and lets us leave 45 minutes early each time, which is nice, but also I never learned anything.   - Grade In Class:A
