Comment:
I have never before felt so comfortable and confident in a chemistry class. Arthur really is such a kind, intelligent, genuine, and thoughtful professor. His lectures go at a great pace and despite his almost gentle voice, they never get boring. He actually cares about how well we're able to learn the material. Best prof ever!

I had Arthur for three courses, Intro Chem, Metabolic Biochem, and Biochem seminar. He was also my thesis advisor. He was an incredible professor, taught me more than just biochemistry facts but how to really learn and think about biochemical problems. I still have copies of his problem sets that I use for practice. Also kept me from dying one time

I started out as a college dropout. But now I am a University Professor of Chemistry. How did that happen? I blame Arthur Glasfeld.

Comment:
By far the best science professor I've ever had in my life. He's extremely accessible and clearly dedicated to helping you learn what can be very difficult material. You'll come out of the class knowing so much more than you'll realize while you're learning it. Be prepared, though. He'll make you work.

Despite my absolute hate for chemistry, Arthur makes me want to be a science major, if for no other reason to have even more class time with one of the most amazing professors ever. He's quirky, he's stunningly intelligent, and he's always hilarious. Here's to Arthur!!

God. The father figure of the chem department. I can't wait to take structural biochem with him. Arthur is a genius, magical, wonderful, out for your best interests, loves to teach, and just one of the most special, hardworking professors at the school. And his dog, Benni, is adorable, if a frisbee-holic.

Fantastic prof. I actually kind of ended up liking chem because of him. He's really approachable, helpful, patient, and has a great and fun personality. Cares about who you are as a person and not just another student. Get to know him if you can. He downplays he brilliance with his quirkiness and sense of humor but he's an awesome guy.

Arthur is absolutely amazing. He is extremely engaging and funny. I came in a bio major and am now considering switching to chemistry because of him. I had only moderate interest in chem at the start of the class, but ended up enjoying it immensely. Even the lab component was pretty good.

I've been lucky enough to spend as much time with Arthur out of class as in. I've got to hand it to the guy: he's remarkably complete and entertaining for someone who's been holed up in labs for the last 25 years. Probably one of the smartest people on campus, and that's saying a lot.

What a brilliant teacher, so inspiring in a subject that didn't generally inspire me. Entertaining, clear, funny and teaches you more than you even realize- his class is helping me in pharm years later.

I took Chem 101 as a senior for a full year. I was taking 9 credits and writing a thesis and working 20 hrs a week. If my diploma was to be dedicated to someone, it might have to be to Arthur. He is patient, caring, understanding, and intelligent. He wants

If I were a female, I would want to have his babies. I know that is a little disturbing, but Arthur is just that cool. I wish that he taught more classes so that I could bother him more often. ALL HAIL !!
