Flinn is an excellent prof and very kind. He explains the material well in class. If you do not understand, you are welcome to pop by his office outside of class. His tests are challenging/long but he gives many hints as to what will be on it. He also has notes, previous tests and worksheets posted that are very similar to test questions. Cheers!

Chris Flinn is a terrible prof. Absolutely awful. He stands in front of the class and writes, he barely speaks and gives questions that are nothing like the examples given in class. Would never suggest taking his class

Extremely boring. Doesnt explain things well and his gap notes are no help at all. Hes a nice guy but basically useless as a prof. Also writes with his left hand which makes it difficult to copy notes. Avoid this prof if you can.

Lots of good information if you can stay awake for his lectures. Although, because his beefy sausage knuckles, his writing that's worse than a Parkinson's victim, and the fact he writes with his left hand means you might as well forget trying to copy anything useful down. Just wait for him to post his notes online.

Comment:

He's an older man and not tech-savvy at all. Lectures are extremely boring and his notes are only ok. Talks too much if you approach him outside class. You have to do this massive assignment that's worth a lot in the very beginning and it's brutal. Tests are hard. Wouldn't recommend him if you can avoid it.

Although he seems to care about his students his lecture are not great and he is heavy on the homework end. Instead of participation marks like every other Chem class, his class is required to do a very lengthy excel assignment.

Dry lectures but if you follow along you'll be okay. Seems very approachable, and is a nice man. But if you struggle in boring lectures/getting distracted it might be better to go with someone else.

lectures are extremely dry and monotonous. his left hand covers everything he writes which gets extremely irritating. nicest guy in the faculty. available to help any time outside of class and wants to get to know you. exams are very predictable - the same as previous years. assignments are hard but good for final exam prep.

The class is dry and certainly not the easiest thing I've taken. Dr. Flinn is very nice and cares about his students but I didn't find his lectures interesting. The notes weren't the easiest to study. The Lab reports were tricky, but I found his tests easy, and the assignments weren't bad, especially because he has a bonus one.

Comment:

Dr. Flinn is a very nice man who genuinely wants his students to succeed. Has very good notes, and very fair tests with a lot of bonus marks everywhere. Assignments are a lot of work, but more than prepare you for tests. The only bad thing is he can be a little boring in class. Textbook is very unnecessary.

I failed the course my first time doing it, so I made sure to spend a lot of time in Dr. Flinn's office this past semester. His lectures are fairly dry, but the gap notes give all of the material that you need to know. Gave very fair exams. He is a super sweet man that loves chemistry, don't be afraid to go see him if you need help!

flinn is very dry and his lectures and notes leave much to be desired however if you go talk to him he genuinely care about all his students and is always willing to go out of his way. that being said, you will basically live in the help center for his class. very tough tests, very tough grader, very easy to fall asleep in class.

Dr. Flinn is an incredibly nice man and a very good teacher, but his lectures are boring. He uses very easy-to-study notes and the tests have no big surprises, plus bonus questions. Very understanding and helpful one-on-one! If you learn better the old fashioned way, take his class!

Great prof! Really wants his students to do well and is willing to help when things aren't clear. The assignments are tough and long however they really prepare you for the tests and final exam. Lecture slides are always posted online so class can be a bit tedious and note taking isn't really necessary. The course is very math heavy!

Great fella out of class, but his classes are painful . Very boring, and has poor notes that are hard to follow in class. I would be grateful to never see another "gap note" again. The way he is in class and out of class are polar opposites. Pretty lenient on due dates though, very understanding, and his tests are fair but really long.

Comment:

I thought Dr. Flinn gave fantastic notes. Very clear explanations of course material. I found class to be a complete waste of time. He copied out the notes, which were all posted online anyways and he covered them with his hand most of the time, so you couldn't copy them down, even if you wanted to. He read off the notes monotonously. Very boring

Comment:

Dr. Flinn is a very nice man, but his personality skills versus his teaching skills are incomparable. Not only was he mind numbingly boring, his left hand covering his illegible crappy notes was unbearable. I read other comments like this on the site and didn't think he would be too bad, I was wrong. STAY AWAY.

Very nice and helpful guy one on one, but in class he is very hard to follow, stay away if you aren't good at learning things on your own. His left hand covering the notes is EXTREMELY bothersome at times. Nice guy, not very good in the classroom though.
