Students noted that the professor was knowledgeable and gave entertaining lectures. They also liked that he gave out a lot of useful study materials. Students said the downside of the course was that they didn’t understand the big picture very wel because the professor focused too much on calculations. Students suggested putting the concepts more into context and discussing more real-life applications. Students should know that the course is chal enging, but teaches important concepts in-depth. Students recommended studying past exams and going to the professor for extra help if needed.

Students found that the best aspects of this course included the professor, whose passion for the subject made the class very enjoyable. They also liked the fact that the homework prepared them for the exams and that they received plenty of materials to help them study. Students thought that the lectures were long and somewhat disorganized, and that there were too many handouts to keep track of. Students suggested reworking the lectures and handouts to provide an outline for each lecture, and then have the handouts posted online or col ected in a booklet. Students also wanted the answer keys to the past exams to better help them study. Prospective students should be prepared for a chal enging course with a fair amount of work. Students would benefit from a background in chemistry, and be prepared to set aside a lot of time to study.

Students praised this course for having an enthusiastic instructor who ran well-organized lectures. Perceived issues with the course greatly varied. Some students found assignments to be long and tedious. Suggestions for improvement included a belief that the course could be redesigned to make it more applicable to environmental engineering principles.
