Instructions on a lot of the lab reports weren't clear. Is a very hard grader and is very particular about assignments. The labs themselves were very fun and informative. An ok choice for a lab instructor.

You have to work for a good grade in this class, but Crawford is a great, understanding professor! He is super willing to help in his office hours and he is on top of his emails. If you have any issues with the class, he is always willing to help. Great for honors contract course too!

I thought he was a solid teacher. The class content is a little more challenging than most, but Dr. Crawford made the material easy to understand by going through plenty of practice problems. He was always willing to meet me outside of class, and was always super nice.

Dr. Crawford is a sweet man who is a great teacher. Does lots practice problems in class and provides you with more challenging ones on the course website that make the tests seem fairly easy if you do them. Go to him with questions and he is very good at dumbing things down at first so you can learn it. Gives a little extra credit which can help

This class is pretty challenging and he did his best to teach it. He held review sessions before all of the exams and was super willing to meet during office hours, but his exams were extremely difficult. The questions are not multiple choice and are all short answer, fill in the blank, etc. When studying, put emphasis on math problems!!!

Great professor. I learned a ton from him. He is very funny in lecture (not required but definitely need to go to pass) and he really cares about his students. His tests are very difficult-if you have previous tests they are very good to study from. Make friends to study with and you'll be fine. Would recommend Dr. Crawford any day. He's the best.

Dr. Crawford has got to be one of my favorite professors. I have taken him twice now, and I still think he is as just as wonderful the second time around. The tests and homework are of course hard, so I would recommend putting a lot of time and effort into this class. Even though the material is tough, you can get through it. I enjoyed this class.

Dr. Crawford is a wonderful professor. He acts like he genuinly cares about his students. As nice as he was, that does not make the material any easier. There are a lot of practice problems that you should do to make sure you follow the information. The tests were pretty hard too and grades averaged to be in the 60's. Just make sure you study.

Comment:

Dr. Crawford gives lots of problem sets and reading assignments, and his exams are difficult. I had to put in 6-8 hours per week outside of lecture for his class. But if you study like he expects you to do, you should get at least a C in his class. He is also willing to help if you have questions. So go to his office hours.

Dr. Crawford is a good teacher and the only reason I got a B was my own fault. He goes over tons of practice problems during class so you don't want to miss. He is really nice and will answer all the questions you have. He also gives real life examples to help you grasp the concept better.

Chemistry is hard and Dr. Crawford does NOT know how to dumb it down but he is much better one-on-one. If you utilize his office hours you will do better in the class. He sometimes switches from exams with all multiple choice to some with partial credit. If you actually work hard and try to grasp the material, you can get a decent grade.

Seems like an OK guy but makes a 2nd semester chem class much harder than it should be. Class average on our tests was in the mid 60s. Tests and quizzes felt like they were intentionally designed to confuse and trip you up instead of actually testing your knowledge of the material. Would probably be a decent course with a different professor.

Chemistry isn't a strong point for me so this could be biased. The tests are very hard. If you read the book it helps a lot. Do the homework and the extra credit when its offered. Chemistry is hard for most people in general but if you go to his office hours and email him it makes all the difference.

Well, you have to study a lot, otherwise you will loose the track, there were 4 test and final test. Final test is comprehensive, which is harder one as it is marked from 150. You have to keep a good score from the beginning, as he doesn't give A grade for 89.99% even. He told it in the syllabus. Using ebook for this subject, is the worst thing.

Crawford was not a bad lab teacher, but it was very hard to get an A in his lab. If you have the option, I would definitely take Dr. Dan instead. As long as you do all your lab reports you should receive at least a B in this class.

Extremely boring, and plain lectures. Horrible clarity. Bad examples. The worst thing is his use for an electronic textbook.

This class is doable, but it definitely is not easy! I received an A in the class, but studied and worked harder than I did for any other class. His lectures are dry, since he reads straight off of his powerpoint slides. The hardest part of this class are the online quizzes. If you can do well on those, you shouldn't have too many problems.

Dr. Crawford makes this class harder than it needs to be. While I ended up with a B in the course, I certainly had to work hard to earn it. Reading the text everyday, attending every lecture, and doing tons of practice problems help. His little quizzes aren't many questions so they can KILL your grade quickly.

He knows what he is talking about, but I didn't learn any thing from him. To make sure I could pass the class I had a tutor,read the book, look at other professors on YouTube , and I went to lecture every class! He makes this class a lot harder then it should be.

Really nice guy, he is willing to help you as much as he can but YOU have to make the effort to ask questions, see him during office hours or email.Be very very prepared! Go to every class (even though he pretty much talks AT you and reads powerpoint slides. SI really helps! Tests and quizzes are super tricky so study everyday and READ THE BOOK!
