Classes taught

Style & personality

Dr. Bellamy used to teach mainly lab classes, but is now teaching more lecture classes. His tests are the most difficult out of all of the chemistry lab instructors. You need to know the information and formulas inside out to do well on his tests. You not only have to use the formulas, but describe what they say and mean.

However, in the class room, his classes are rather easy, and his tests are thuroughly covered by the practice problems/OWLs. He doesn't assign too many OWL's, which is really good. He tends to tell lots of storrys druing class about his life and his family... he avereges 2 per class period. His speaking and lecture skills are good, but he likes to write things on the dry-erase bord... and he's really, really slow at that. Also, he has a strange pronounciation of "ion" he sais something like "I-n". He throws markers across the room... so you better behave!!!

Student opinions

Robyn: I liked Dr. Bellamy. I had him for Gen. Chem 1 and he made sense most of the time and his tests were pretty straight forward. never ask to eat a muffin or any food in his class. He will say yes, but only if he gets to tell his muffin story. one of many stories from his good ol army days.

Angela: His wife makes really good coffee.
