Dr. Meier is a truly one of the most amazing professors I have had while pursuing my undergraduate degree. He cares about you as a person, and his lectures and office hours add to your understanding of the chemistry content. If you put the effort in, and get help when needed this class is a breeze. I miss his lectures and office hours in CHE 232.

A great lecturer. Provides real life examples and really puts the time in to make students understand. Offered review sessions before every exam. Office hours were helpful. Cared about you as a person and a student. Exams are hard and material is challenging but will help you if you show your'e trying. I respect how much effort he put into class

Absolutely amazing professor. Made an very hard concept easy to grasp by explaining things clearly and thoroughly. His animation during lecture made an 8 AM lecture something to look forward to. Likely my favorite professor I have ever had.

Comment:
Meier was a great professor! Started the class expecting it to be really hard from what I'd heard. Compared to Steelman, he is a much easier professor. Did a good job of presenting material through drawings and starting each class with practice problems. Very helpful in office hours. Really wants students to succeed. I only wish he taught orgo 2 :(

Comment:
Currently in CHE 230 and he is a great professor. He is able to really explain the material and break it down for you. Attendance isn't mandatory but it is beneficial to go to every lecture and not get behind. Very accessible outside of class. Would take another class of his.

His lectures wake me up every morning. The lectures are very entertaining. Don't miss class. There's optional homework from the book. Office hours are abundant and useful. It's not an easy class, but it's not too difficult either.

Comment:
Dr. Meier is the best professor I've had so far at UK. The class is definitely hard, but he willingly takes time out of his schedule to sit down with you one on one outside of office hours to clear up anything that you don't understand. Very generous with curves and extra credit. If you do his practice problems he hands out, you'll do fine.

Comment:
Organic is a difficult subject so you are probably going to struggle no matter who the teacher is. However he is extremely helpful and always willing to answer questions. I emailed him often with specific question or for explanations. DO NOT fall behind in this class. Stay on top of the material and find at least a little time every day to study.

I'm not going to lie, this class is HARD. Organic is not an easy subject but Dr. Meier is the professor to take if you actually want to LEARN the information. He's a great guy and makes jokes in class. Other professors might be easier but with him, you will learn the material better, trust me!

Dr Meier is an amazing professor. I had the class at 8:00 am and he was always very energetic and engaging. The class was not easy at all but its do-able.

Dr. Meier makes organic really easy to understand. He's entertaining in lectures, and his funny comments are extremely helpful for remembering things. The exams aren't easy, but are really straightforward; no trick questions.

Comment:
Ive heard horror stories of Organic Chemistry and I was terrified. Meier made me at ease and couldnt be happier with his class. He's energetic and makes Organic fun. Sucks this is his last year teaching undergrad for a while. He also enjoys talking about drugs so there's that too. I wish he could teach me orgo 2.

He's an awesome teacher and made CHE 230 a wonderful experience. He's probably the most engaging professor I've ever had and definitely one of the top professors at UK. I highly suggest taking his course because it's well worth it. Exams aren't terrible if you go to class, pay attention, and use the book.

Great teacher, made me very interested in O. Chem, so much so that I changed my major. Great teaching style and hilariously self-deprecating, the exams aren't all that bad, either. Talk to the dude, he's fun to have a chat with!

Dr Meier is fantastic! I highly recommend making an effort to take his class. This class is not "easy", but it is absolutely possible to do very well. You MUST read the book and it is essential to avoid cramming. His tests are similar to the recommended problems he assigns and tests from previous years. He also holds review sessions weekly!

Dr. Meier was a very fun and hilarious professor. He took a very difficult subject and made it fun. I very much enjoyed coming to class even though attendance was not required. I will miss hearing him say things like methanol is just "Fancy Water"

The class itself is tough, but he does his best to clear it up. You HAVE to read the book before lecture because he clarifies the material, rather than teaches it. He cares about his students and works really hard to help.

Meier is an interesting professor that really makes you feel like you understand OCHEM in class. Tests are hard, but an 80 is an A so A's are possible if you do all suggested problems and read BEFORE class.
