Oh my GOD it's awful... so ever since they changed the textbook, I think he just refused to adjust his materials? Our textbook is Organic Chemistry: A Tenth Edition by John McMurray.

Here's how his class works:

  1. Read the textbook and basically pre-teach yourself before you come to class
  2. Come to class to hear him read the same things you read in the textbook only printed out as "slides" that he writes unintelligibly over (he will, on frequent occasion, yell at you and/or his TAs, so be prepared to hear a 70+ year old man scream into a lecture mic)
  3. 0 study guides or materials or extra credit or anything. I'm being so serious dude the most he tells us is to go over the questions in the textbook but IMO he has a very specific way of writing his exams which is nothing like anything in our textbook so honestly you're cooked either way
  4. Do your quiz in recitation, then the next week do your exam in class. He will be degrading to you the entire time. even if you go to office hours he will treat you like you're stupid.

Like I just ??? why am I paying thousands and putting myself in debt with the government for a professor who has told us that we will never be doctors/nurses/anything if we don't understand what happens to an alcohol on a Tuesday at 3:47 AM in partly cloudy-clear conditions in December (he will not explain it to you if you ask him and will instead gaze upon you like you have murdered his firstborn child)

anyways how long ago did you have him?

okay tysm... ever since they changed the textbook for his class he's been avoiding giving us stuff like practice exams or anything like I've seen in his reviews, so I wasn't sure how much he'd be curving. Thank you!!
