Gem of a chem prof, hard LTs, quiz every class

I took Sir Guidote for a different Chem course and let me tell you, he's a gem among other profs in any course in general. He is very friendly to students, especially those who he sees as excellent students. If you're new to him, it'll take him maybe 2 weeks to get to memorize your name and face. Be his beadle if you can. This guy may be as old as Father Schmitt (as in Schmitt hall) but he's just one of the greatest profs you will enjoy. Fun fact: He's also the Director of PIPAC, the big white building across RBR, and it's one of, if not, the best testing labs in the country. You know you're getting a big deal of quality education by his extensive industry knowledge and lab experience. His problem sets are from the book written by John Mcmurry and they're modestly difficult, to be fair. 10 points for each problems set. Just make sure you submit on time though because he deducts 1 point for every day you delay from the deadline. His long test and finals are HARD though. LTs are 100 points each, with 10 points bonus at the end. Some of his previous tests were bearable, but I recently just finished finals and I kid you not... I hope he curves us because I'm pretty sure no one will get higher than a B+. His quizzes are relatively modest too, if you studied many days before. He gives 1 quiz every class, before the lecture starts, and it's about the previous lecture. The good thing about Sir is that after a quiz, he asks for volunteers to write their answers on the board so that the class can learn from their mistakes, if they made any. Also, during recitation, don't be afraid to make mistakes. Overall, one tip I should give you is to heavily study for his long tests and finals talaga. Don't make the same mistake I did in this semester. I think if you are struggling in chemistry, you should ask a lot of questions during lectures or even consult with him. One tid bit: please don't break his mood by cheating during quiz time or exam time. Many repeat offenders have been caught by Sir already and honestly, he'll fail you (to say the least). So, if you study hard and you like chemistry, don't worry, you're in good hands with Sir G... ... cause he's the GOAT, the GOATTTTTTTT!!!more

CourseCHEM 141.01

very solid prof! i had him for chem 141.01 so maybe things would be slightly different but in a nutshell, our grade was divided into 5 components: 3 long exams, notes, probsets, quizzes, and a final exam. all of his exams are comprehensive, so you really should familiarize yourself with past lessons as the sem goes on :') when he teaches, he likes to call people (he memorizes ur names hehe) for recitation; accdg to him, if he sees you involved enough, he may curve your grade up ^^ sometimes he teaches pretty fast, but he asks the class from time to time for questions/ clarifications all in all, you're in very good hands! doc teaches orgchem in a pretty digestible manner; a-able with effort. good luck op 🫶more

All modules, mostly MC plus problem solving from the book

Includes all the modules! Mostly multiple choice, then I believe there were 20-30 points worth of problem solving. Multiple choice was doable, the problem solving was from the book so I suggest do the practice exercises at the end of every chaptermore
