CHEM 102 - General Chemistry I
Some people get tripped up on his style of testing, but he really teaches the information well, and with past exams as preparation, exams shouldn't be that daunting!

CHEM 102 - General Chemistry I
Many ppl call him the hardest of the chem professors...you definitely should be the kind of student who can teach themselves out of a book if you choose this professor :) Oh yeah, and he's not empathetic, at all.
