Comment:
Dr Vitz is very wise. He knows his stuff and wants to share it with students. That being said if you are not into chem you will have a rough time. Labs are easy but material is hard if you dont get it prior to lab. lab reports are graded hard...you need to put alot of time into them. Wants you to do well and will help but grading is vry rough.

Comment:
I have him for lab. He is an extremely nice guy reminds me of a grandfather and is more than willing to help after class. He also gives feedback on reports. However, he is a VERY hard grader. He is a very brilliant guy but half of the time I don't understand what he's even talking about.

Worst professor I ever had here at KU. I took chem in high school and got an A in it there and then I took it here and got a C. We covered the same exact materials. His labs aren't too hard and you usually finish early, but he can't teach. Makes everything more confusing then it should/already is.

Professor Vitz can be very helpful if you ask him a specific question. He counts a large part of your grade to the quizzes taken on D2L but you can take them as many times as needed to get 100%. Overall I would recommend him.

Comment:
Probably one of the nicest guys Ihave ever met and is always willing and help. BUT you can't understand him, you ask him one question and he answers you with something else or another question! His notes are a mess, and if you can't understand him in class, which is almost a definite, you won't understand his book..which is online, and he wrote it.

This is the only review i have ever made on here, so listen up... Dr Vitz is terrible. He is a great guy, he's nice, he will go out of his way to help you or hold a make-up lab. But all of that is wasted due to his lack of teaching ability. He is by far the worst professor, teacher, or educator that i have ever had in my life.

Absolutely the worst professor I have ever had in my life. He gave really clear details on his grading system but completely deviated from them. He did not clarify anything he was teaching. We didn't have a book, it was online reading written by him. He is too smart and cannot simplify material for non-chem inclined students. I would avoid him.

Comment:
I'm in his lab right now, and honestly I get too distracted by all of his ramblings and online stuff that I really don't pick up much information. His online book, and quizzes had errors, and when I went to him for help privately he helped a little but then I failed it anyway, and then he tells me I did not ask good enough questions at his office.

do not take vitz if you dont have to. not only is everything online, but it seems like he knows so much, we have to know it all too. over all he just cant teach a basic intro level course. instead take mayerhofer for genchem 1 and 2. he can teach.

He is the worst prof I have ever had!!!!! Please DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!! He had no book but a website that was always incorrect or it wouldn't let you in. The only thing this class is about is math, and he doesn't explain anything and when he does you are still confused. He is HORRIBLE!!!!

He is the most ignorant prof i have ever met in the chem department....he does not care to help people unless he happens to be in a very good mood...he needs to stop teaching and do something else...I DO NOT recommend him!

Comment:
dont take him unless you have to, majority of class fails his tests, he redoes tests and finds mistakes that he has made and then takes your score away if you get that problem wrong! some people had low 60's and when he did that they ended up failing the test after they thought they had passed. real let down, its a shame, like he doesnt care!

Comment:
He's a really smart man and he's very nice, but it doesn't say much of him as a professor when most of the class fails the exams. Then again the course is really hard too. I wouldn't take him unless you're in an upper level course. I think he'd be a lot more helpful. than a general class

His classes are extremely difficult. He is willing to help, but in class and one on one, he is very unclear in everything. He assumes you have a PHD in everything and understand everything that he says. I took a gen chem class and got a D. I took it with another professor and got an A. Would try to avoid his classes.

Comment:
very nice man. not such a great prof. means well, but doesn't explain things at all. most of lecture was setting things on fire. taking notes is useless bc he puts the powerpoints on blackboard anyway. make sure you read the text, it's your only chance at passing. exams are very difficult, hard to comprehend... i don't reccommend him at all.

Dr. Vitz is the only prof I've had here in 3 1/2 years who was actually a teacher. His lecture supplements the book instead of going word for word. So if you're not planning on doing a little work on your own you'll probably be lost like the rest of these people. Labs are kinda fun and he sets a lot of stuff on fire. Slackers beware...

I have intro to chem and everyone is like what is going on. He is horrible. What he says and what the book says are two different things. I do not recommend him. I thought Chem would be interesting but this guy makes it horrible. His tests are hard and he makes no sense.
