Anonymous reviews of Dr. Reid via ratemyprofessors.com...

"Great professor, chemistry is not an easy class, but he does a good job at teaching the chemistry concepts. Probably the best chem professor there is a Collin. Highly recommend taking Dr. Reid."

"Absolutely best professor. I was apprehensive about chemistry. Especially since I was taking Summer 1/2 and was to finish Chem 1/2 in 10 weeks. I flat out would not have been able to survive without his help. He didn't just help 'push' me through but I have a solid foundation of understanding. I wish he would teach all the higher level sciences."

"One word. Amazing."

"Dr. Reid is awesome for gen chem 1! Laid back, but a great lecturer. Tests are not difficult, but you should study for the final. Book is useful to do practice problems to prep for exams. Reid is patient and will help you until you understand the material-a quality that most teachers don't have. He really knows his stuff and teaches to the point!"
