Great guy, but definitely a weeder class. I did really well in his class, but you have to work really hard outside of the classroom. Do all of the practice sets and problems from the textbook and you’ll do fine. Granted that takes a huge amount of time, but at least he’s fair about grading.
literally so bad
Very nice person but the most disorganized person ever. His calculations and class notes were wrong so everybody then wrote down the wrong information. Only take if you are a very smart math and chemistry brained person.
I thought I knew what I was doing. Needless to say, I dropped the class in October. Jokes aside though, it is really tough but not impossible, just make sure to review the material very often. Also, all the Gen Chem professors are harsh in their own way, so you just have to choose your battle.
