i'm not really liking Sandberg's style so far.

i guess i'll stick with her though...my schedule can't be adjusted at this point

yea i'm not liking the teaching style but i saw brown's distribution's for ch101 and ch221 and they really suck with no less than 40-60% C's... i'll probably stick too

SANDBERG

her teaching style may be different, but she was one of the most approachable and understanding professors I've had. if you have any questions or problems, she will really work with you and help you.

plus the practice exam packets (the ones the chemistry club sells) are nearly identical to the exams.

sandberg is fine

you'll probably learn more from her than with Brown

Sandberg. You won't learn crap from Brown.

Sandberg is good, avoid Brown at all costs.

Everyone I knew who had both preferred Sandberg as well.

I use to tutor some people that had sandberg while I had brown. The people I tutored got A's and I got a C+ in the class.

although I disagree with this:

You will learn a lot from brown, you just won't do well on his tests. I went B- in Browns 221(which i busted my ass for) and A in Sandberg 223 with half the effort. Brown is actually a good teacher, but he's an ass when it comes to tests.

223 is easier than 221 though

223 is just an extreme extension of 221

you see the same mechanisms over and over again

Sandberg is tough, but you will learn with her. I heard Brown has a huge curve on all of his tests, don't expect that from Sandberg( but definitely go talk to her about test questions, she used to give me mad points back for showing I understood Something!)
