    Overall: C-
    Workload was somewhat unreasonable(I often was working on assignments for 2, 3 hours), the class was INCREDIBLY hard, and I learned a little, but the class was taught with such complexity and speed, I could not grasp it, and apparently, neither could many others(a friend used her 1-time withdraw over all 4 years to get out of this class). 
    Student Competency: Beginner
    Student's Grade: B
    Liked Instructor?: Disliked
     
    Overall: A-
    Could have been boring, but wasn't because he's so damn cool.  He keeps the class room at least a little bit alive.  He's a good teacher dammit. 
    Student Competency: Unusually High
    Student's Grade: A
    Liked Instructor?: Really Liked
     
    Don't know why he teaches the calc - chemical engineering background.  He teaches the advanced chemistry too, though.

    This guy is one cool mama jama.  Very sharp, made a big boring intro class fun and kept my interest alive, was a pretty kind grader in retrospect.  Other people who give him a poor review do so only because they didn't get an A in his class (ignore their bashing reviews.)
