CHM 1045
GEN CHEMISTRY I
4****
Had him for CHM 1045. Nice guy, kinda funny. Also pretty boring most of the time. Teaches right out of the book though, so you might as well just highlight the book and not take notes.

BCH 4624
HUMAN BIOCHEM
4****
Pros: it's not offered as a choice here, but i had him for Intro Biochem, great teacher, had him over summer, always willing to further explain things, tests were very fair, curved at the end. overall great teacher!
Cons: bc he's left handed, his note taking can be annoying, but he posts them all online!
many people warned me against him in early chem classes, and i wish i wouldn't have listened, because i ended up with dr. kearley and hated life. take his class!

Cons: It's harder than GEN CHEM 1, he talks really fast, his handwriting is horrible, and he doesn't curve. Most of the time his TA's grade the tests and leave points off.
