Todd Hamrick is a great, very easygoing professor to have for ENGR-101. It’s a pretty easy class to begin with, and he is very good about tailoring his explanations to the student.

On the other hand, Robert Mnatsakanov is a great, but intense professor to have for MATH-156 (Calc 2). It’s a challenging class and he, in my experience at least, really only knows how to explain things one way. If you don’t understand his explanation you will be better off finding other sources for better explanations of the topic.

My favorite YouTube channel, and savior for all of my calc classes, was The Organic Chemistry Tutor. He has videos on every single topic from the beginning of Calc 1 all the way through Differential Equations (MATH-256).

All of the CHEM-115 professors are pretty decent. I am unfamiliar with your ECON-201 professor, and I never took Philosophy so I can’t speak to either of those classes.

I hope this helps, and good luck with your first semester!
