CHEM247 Expecting a B Anonymous 11/25/2024 |
Amazing lectures, traumatizing tests, good guy. I have a lot of very mixed feelings towards this man. I learned so so much more chemsitry this semester than I did in orgo 1. Added context is that this was the chem majors section. He truly knows chemistry and knows how to teach it. He took the first 2 weeks of class to go voer some fundamentals (pka being a big big one) that he was able to reference later throughout the semester as we learnt new content. Early on in the semester he was very generous with telling us what would be on the quizzes/exam, and generally he is pretty vocal about what you need to focus on studyign which I appreciate. he is, however, totally allergic to givng people time to take his tests/quizzes LOL. He puts a lot of content on them, to the point where you could know how to do evertthing on it and still not have time to finish. Exam 1 in this class was literally so traumatizingly long. Exam 2 was better and 3 was. well. It's over. Allegedly (and he confirmed this, but I haven't taken it yet) he reuses questions from past exams/quizzes on his final so I do apprecoate that a lot. Be prepared for a little insanity form this man, because he made us come in half an hour early to take his exams. I really like him as a person bc I find him funny and think he's good at dispelling the tension of being in an organic chemistry 2 classroom, but I know not some find him more annoying. The way he will explains certain concepts is, to me, both funny and simple enoguh to make it click. |
