Alex Bredar
Good chemistry intro course which gave an overview of basic material. A lot of the course was doing practice problems on achieve which was "graded" but mainly just off of effort as well as exam(the bulk of your grade). Prof Bredar was super enthusiastic and always willing to meet extra if students needed.
Alex was a great professor, but the class itself was just poorly structured. It was entirely based on a textbook (which wasn't that great of a textbook to begin with), and while Alex and the TAs were always available to help with questions, there was so much busy work. I would definitely take another class with Alex, but Chem103 is just a class you take to get to other classes, and they're not even offering it anymore anyways.

For this being Professor Bredar's first class at Midd, I think she had a great attitude and she was very excited. She enjoys helping you one-on-one during office hours or TA hours. During lectures, it can be a very fast-paced class, and you can lose track of all the information that is being taught. There is a lot of coursework, such as worksheets and Achives, but everything helps you prepare for the Exams. As a poor test taker, I think the exams are nerve-wracking and difficult. If you are like me and do well on everything but the exams, you will still pass with a B on average.
