Esohe Fawole CHBE101 Expecting a B Anonymous 05/27/2025	Fawole is nice and chill don't get me wrong, but a horrible teacher for a 101 class. She made lectures fast paced and very confusing. The first exam was also super bad with an average of a 56%. She teaches an upper level chemE class, Fluids I believe, and she's not that great in that either so I've heard. She barely covers topics in class and expects everyone to know them on exams or homeworks. Hopefully she never teaches this class again, Woehl is way better. If she ends up teaching it next spring, I would advise everyone to study ahead. This class is only easy for the first 3 weeks lol. Start the homeworks early because they are def hard (but doable).
Esohe Fawole CHBE101 Expecting a B Anonymous 05/22/2025	Overall she seems like a very nice person, but her exams were super different and harder than the practice exams. Also, she looked kind of annoyed sometimes when teaching material balances and didn't really explain much, just read what she was writing. The class was taught by two different professors, so that might be one of the reasons why she didn't look that interested in teaching the class
Taylor Woehl CHBE101 Expecting a B- Anonymous 05/20/2025	This man is so real. He wears SpongeBob shoes. He is passionate about beer and breweries. He also lowkey looks done with everything. Something about him just feels so human. To be fair, he doesn't want his students to struggle at all (I've accepted that we're just dumb). Professor Woehl, who teaches the second half of the course (after Professor Fawole), is clearly knowledgeable and experienced in teaching CHBE101. He answers questions well, and his lectures (which might be a bit fast) are interesting. He's also easy to talk to and willing to help (when he remembers to). However, the TAs feel like they don't exist. CHBE101 doesn't feel like an intro course (in terms of difficulty). It's definitely a weed-out. This course is curved quite a bit, thanks to how hard the exams are. All I can honestly do is laugh at my struggles for choosing chemical engineering. Weekly homework assignments take up some time, but are doable. The cumulative brewery project was challenging but fun. Overall, I can't wait to take his 400-level brewery class in a few years (if I survive until then)!
Esohe Fawole CHBE101 Expecting a B- Anonymous 05/20/2025	I'm assuming Professor Fawole was new to teaching CHBE101. Or maybe teaching in general. They taught the first half of the semester and then swapped out with Professor Woehl. Really nice person, but their lectures were more confusing than helpful. Sometimes, Fawole wouldn't be able to answer questions about the topic being teached...

Taylor Woehl CHBE101 Expecting an A Anonymous 07/04/2024	Spring 2024. -Great at teaching and explaining. -I had a mistake in grading on the quiz, it was super easy to get it corrected. -Weekly homeworks are tough but not impossible. You have 7 days, and are allowed to work with others.
Taylor Woehl CHBE101 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/22/2022	Overall good professor. Reasonable and listens to student's concerns. Provides alot of resources for students to do well. Exams are reflective of what you do in homework and learn in class.
William Gibbons CHBE101 Expecting a C- Anonymous 01/30/2019	Nice guy but a terrible teacher. He didn't have a single powerpoint for lecture or review sheet for exams and most of the time during lecture he wouldn't even teach. We did group worksheets every single class period while he walked around and we basically had to figure out the processes using the textbook or TAs. One time we asked him for help during class and he told us to google it. The homeworks were also group work and we all got one grade. The homework could sometimes last 15 hours a week and only a few people in the group could figure out what was going on and the rest of us would be desperate enough to copy them, but it was technically allowed, almost encouraged, because all the team members were supposed to have the same work anyways. There were no practice exams for the midterms and the exams were much much harder than the worksheets we did in class, with averages always being 50-60%. I put in a moderate amount of effort for studying for the exams and still got below 60 on all of them which was very disappointing. The curve was not as big as I thought it would be and I ended up switching my major (I know several other people from that class who did the same). I know in college you need to teach yourself and should not rely on the teacher but it would have been 100 times more helpful if there had been any form of teaching, powerpoints or review sheets. This was the only C I have gotten in college and I'm a junior. Overall this class made me despise the major, and I have heard the class is much better with other teachers.
