Professor Louters is a really amazing man. I had a horrible background in HS chemistry and he really helped me grow and learn a lot in this class. He is retired now, but if he ever substitutes or fills in for a semester, he is an awesome prof!

The legendary Professory Louters... So sad to see this guy retire. Seriously one of the greats. He won't be teaching anymore but he was a great professor and person all around. Makes lots of jokes in class, let us burn Cheetos, and gave us 6 points on a test because we suck at putting our names on papers.. Just a great dude.. God bless ya Larry

I don't think I would have passes this class if I had any other professor than Louters. He was very engaging in class and his lectures are very precise. If you don't understand anything in the class he's so accessible and will 100% give you help in office hours. A great guy and an even better professor!

Amazing professor! Hard class but he explains it very well. I learned a ton and am going to miss him as a prof. Taking good notes and doing the assignments with studying before tests, you will pass. He is very approachable and funny guy. Willing to help students in any way possible. Highest recommendation.

Louters is a great guy and super helpful -- explains things in an easy to understand and organized way. I never had to read my book cause things were so well explained in class. Tests can be a little tricky but not too bad.

Larry is a fun professor who cares about his students. He always takes time to explain something in further detail if someone does not understand the material. He is pretty lenient on grading (especially if you make a strong case for yourself). He will never cease to make you laugh or make you happy you went to class.

HIGHLY RECCOMMEND HIM. I was nervous about taking chemistry in college because I didn't enjoy it in high school but Professor Louters made it very bearable. He is a great lecturer and loves answering questions/getting to know his students. This class is challenging and you must study hard for weekly quizzes and for the tests if you want to do well.

Prof Louters cares a lot about his students. Notes are clear and he gives good examples. Tests are straightforward. Quiz every friday-easy. Didn't use textbook, just Sapling online ($40). If in ENGR, buy the book anyway, you'll need it later. Louters is very helpful outside of class and wants to get to know students. Great guy and great teacher.

He is fantastic! He cares about what he does, and he really works to make sure everyone is understanding the material. If you go to his office he will help you and make sure you completely understand the material. He also gives good devotions in the morning classes. Textbook is only for homework and while attendance is mandatory, he wont notice

Professor Louters is the best professor I have ever taken at Calvin. If you have a chance to take him for a class do it as soon as possible. He is the rare professor that has a mastery of knowledge and is able to teach it in a clearly understandable way. He is always willing to help you, or simply talk about anything. If I could, Id take him again

Best kept secret of Calvin. Awesome prof. Hate chem and a hard course but he has a great scientific mind for christ and shows it and how to use it. Devotions he did were great. Has a sense of humor but doesnt always show it. Makes you work for the grade. But i ended up enjoying the class. I hate chem. Wouldnt take again, but if I had to itd be him.

The class was pretty tough, but his notes are all super organized and he always puts his notes online. He is always willing to help because he knows Chemistry isn't for everyone and he knows the course is hard for some people. The tests are short and pretty easy as long as you study the notes and he posts practice tests online that are helpful!

Louters is the best!!! His lectures and tests are so straight-forward and clear. The only homework we had was like 10 problems(max.) out of the book a week. I was fortunate to have him for lab, too. Equally great.
