| class comments : | Dr. Wahl is very good at teaching this course. However, in return, the tests are slightly more difficult than other instructor's (from what I have heard). |
| instructor : | Wahl jr |
| instructor rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| instructor comments : | Dr. Wahl is a great instructor, though has hard tests. He speaks clearly and we typically had the tests graded and returned by the next period, though there were often a lot of grading errors. He of course lets you resubmit the test to be regraded. Very friendly guy and will go out of his way to help you learn. Expect several emails a day from him though. |

| course comments : | Awesome class. One of my favorite yet at NCSU. Material very interesting. Most people are scared of OChem and I don't really understand why - usually relates to the fear of memorization. You do have to put a little effort into learning the material (not just memorizing- as many people do)-but if you do you will get a lot out of it. The class also has SI for extra help- esp on webassign questions. |

He is here to do research and views teaching as a pain in the ass. |

He emphasized understanding the material over memorizing but I swear every other topic he told us it was something to memorize. |
