    Quarter Taken: Winter 2023 In-Person
    Grade: B

    Goated pchem prof. If you do all the work you’re guaranteed either a B or an A. Lecture isn’t mandatory but is super helpful. He’s very lenient and generous. Best way to be on top of this class is to take notes on the lecture handouts before coming to lecture.
