| course comments : | Everyone know this course sucks. Way too much material for non-majors. |
| class : | Fall 2001 section 002 |
| grade received : | C+ |
| class rating : | 1 - Bad |
| class comments : | Lectures every single day. I failed the first test and managed to come out with a C+, because on the rest he gave us the test beforehand and let us use notecards. Only two exams, plus the final and the lab make up your grade. |
| instructor : | Bumgardner |
| instructor rating : | 1 - Bad |
| instructor comments : | Everyone will tell you to take him. This is because he's easy, not because he's good. Doesn't teach a damn thing, emphasizes "pushing electrons" although the important part seemed to be memorizing reagents. |

| course : | CH 223 |
| course rating : | 3 - Good |
| course comments : | If you like ch221, you'll like ch223. The material is just as interesting, slightly easier I think. Less naming and more about reactions |
| class : | Spring 2002 section 001 |
| grade received : | A+ |
| class rating : | 1 - Bad |
| class comments : | The class was very easy. It requires some work, but if you have a good CH221 background, it will require very little work. The only real good thing about this section was that he presented it well. But will sometimes make you feel stupid by how elementry like he presents it. You'll need to yell at him to make sure he lets out on time (he doesn't keep track of time well). Over half the people skipped my 8am section and went to the 10:15 one |
| instructor : | Bumgardner |
| instructor rating : | 0 - Horrible |
| instructor comments : | You will learn nothing form this guy. If you just need to take the course and dont care at all about the material, he is the teacher you want. If you care (like I do), he is really really bad. I feel dumber after having taken his class. The amount of stuff I have forgotten from ch221, I have not made up by learning the equal amount in ch223 |

| class comments : | he has a policy where if you get a better grade on your final exam than your cummulative average, the final exam counts 100% OF YOUR FINAL GRADE... and then he even let us use a notecard on the final... and the final was just questions from the old test... so i just crammed all the important questions from the old test onto a notecard, and ended up acing the final |

| course comments : | Snore!!!! Totally worthless information...at least for my major (CHE). Required too much memorization, which, at a later point in my career will be subverted by refering to the book. Don't waste your time here. And if you have to, get the hell out of there with a D or a C. |

| course comments : | Much easier than organic 1, but its still kinda tricky. A lot of mechanisms, but its pretty much the same type of thing over and over again. |
| class : | Fall 2004 section 002 |
| grade received : | B+ |
| class rating : | 3 - Good |
| class comments : | Didn't have to take notes because she posts them online, but you do have to do in-class questions and put the answers in webassign at the end of each week. There are assigned seats, but you get to choose them and it doesn't really matter if you sit in them. There really isn't any attendance except that she does pick random people from the roll to answer questions during class. |

| instructor rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| instructor comments : | She is a great teacher, one of the best I have had here. After a semester of her class, I really feel like I understand organic chemistry, unlike Dr. Brown's CH221 class. |

| instructor comments : | perhaps the worst professor for undergrad at NCSU. Consistently told us we were the worst class ever and treated us with disrespect. My final average was an 80, but he said I deserved a C instead of a B-, so be sure you get the grading scale taken care of at the beginning of the semester. He says he is adjusting the grading scale as a curve, but never does and subjectively decided grades at the end of the semester. |

If you are going to take Biochem, Dr. Brown teaches you a lot of stuff other teachers dont that willl propare you for it. Very helpful out of class |
