At first, I hated Dr. Snyder, but by the time of the classes end, I felt a resounding...meh. Dr. Snyder is an organic teacher by trade, and it shows in this inorganic class. He demonstrates only a mediocre understanding of the material, sometimes being unable to adequately field questions asked during class. Even during one class period, he had spent nearly the entire lecture showing us how to work a difficult titration problem, only to be pointed out by a student that he had done one of the preliminary equations wrong, rendering the entire question inaccurate. He then, in embarrassment, let us leave 20 minutes early. He offers tons of extra credit for seemingly stupid reasons like not talking, or showing up to class on time. He is also extremely paranoid about cheating. He even had the gall to announce to our honors section on the first day that at least two of us would be kicked out for cheating by the end of the semester. He then explained to us how sneaky he was and how he could easily catch us cheating. This shows up on his tests too. He is gestapo with this crap, and forbids anyone to look up off of their paper at any time. If you do, he assumes your cheating and may fail you. Our class was his supposed first class never to cheat. Despite the fact that he doesn't teach the material well at all, inflate your grade with tons of xtra credit, and he is gestapo with cheating, he's actually a nice guy, and just listening to him fail at trying to explain to the class by using some ridiculous metaphor for chemistry is enough to make the class palatable.
