Comment:

Timpson is a great professor and is always trying you get people to participate, but online was a little bit of a struggle as it was a little hard to learn the actual material when everything can be googled and he gives a lot of extra points for easy stuff. Getting a good grade in this class is extremely easy.

This was my first time taking chemistry ever and I heard from friends that chemistry was so tough and difficult which is true this class was very difficult but because of Dr. Timpson I found that I like chemistry and that yes it is hard but he provides multiple examples that help the students learn and really understand what is happening in class.

Chemistry can be really hard for any college student and Timpson makes it really enjoyable and easier to understand. If you still arent sure about a topic, he works with you to help you understand it better. He gives a lot of extra credit to help boost your grade but make sure to read the book and do all the homework because it helps on quizzes.

Timpson is a very nice professor. He dedicates so much of his time to students so take advantage of it. He is super approachable and will go over concepts with you over and over. He gives out a lot of extra credit, but he makes you work for it. If he knows he can push you to do better he will.

Timpson is a nice guy and he really does care about each student. The subject itself is very difficult and his teaching style was not the best for me personally. He does give out "meta points" which really helped my grade in the long run. I would go to his office hours because he will help you there but there is usually a long line there.

Absolutely loved Dr. Timpson; he is easily my favorite professor here so far. Super approachable and accessible outside of class. Going to his office hours saved my test grades. He gives a lot of extra credit so take advantage of it!! If you pay attention in class you will be fine.

Best professor I've had so far at RWU. He is extremely energetic during his lectures and keeps you focused. Randomly calls on people, but it helps you learn a lot/keeps you focused. Most importantly, go to his office hours and he will try his best to help you out. It shows him you care. READ THE BOOK TO PREPARE FOR QUIZZES BEFORE STARTING CHAPTERS

I had Prof. Timpson for my first semester freshman year CHEM 192 lecture and selected him again for my second semester. He is very thorough, charismatic, and respects students who respect him. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OFFICE HOURS. Prof. Timpson is extremely helpful outside of class and will recognize your efforts in seeking extra help.

Timpson is probably the most enthusiastic chem professor at RWU. He's big on power points and speeds through them so make sure you pay attention. Even though the class is hard he's available for help at any time and is very approachable. He gives a lot of pop quizzes but that's only because he needs to catch up with all the other classes.

Timpson is one of the more fair and funny chem professors, but is very strict on cell phone use and attendance. Book use is heavy, and he's almost no help outside of class. Probably the most enthusiastic chem prof at RWU. In other words, the lesser of the evils.

As a famous chemist once said, "pumping knowledge into empty minds is exhausting". In this milieu, Cliff is indefatigable. His passion and alacrity in the purveyance of knowledge is enough to make any academic exhausted. Under his tutelage, the quality of the product, your education, is unparalleled in depth and variety. Thanks for everything Cliff

Timpson is great! Sure chem is hard but no one ever said it was going to be easy. He's really helpful and has a great voice too so you won't be able to fall asleep in class even if you tried. He keeps you interested in the class and explains things really well. His quizzes are always unannounced but read ahead of time and do your homework great guy

Dr. Timpson is great! From the moment I set foot on campus (I am a Biology major/Chem minor) he has done nothing but assist me in finding my way. As a teacher, he is top notch. As for those who whine he is "hard", nobody ever said Chemistry was an easy subject! Do your reading BEFORE classs and it will make a lot more sense!

Cliff's a great guy. He's extremely passionate about Chemistry, and his main goal is to make sure all of his students understand all of the material they need to understand to do well on the ACS. He uses the projector with pre-made slides, and you need to take quick notes. As long as you read the chapter BEFORE class and study, you're fine.

Whoever says that Cliff sucks is seriously retarded. He is really enthusiastic and really clear in class. If you need help definately go to his office, he is really helpful and if you make an effort then he will really help you as much as he can. Be warned though the class is hard and you actually need to try.

Dr. Timpson can fly, there, I said it, he can fly. But seriously, he is a great teacher with an in depth knowledge of chemistry and science in general. Loves what he does, and embraces those who truly enjoy chemistry too. Always there to help when needed, and truly wants his students to succeed. Awesome person, and teacher!
