Alex Bredar

The course was good, but it was a bit of a bore at times. The professor was alright, enthusiastic but a little lackluster. Mostly had to self study for the course becuase she was not the most clear in lecture. I never went to office hours.

Alex is really sweet and has a genuine enthusiasm for chemistry. I didn't think that her exams were too difficult, and there wasn't too much homework. However, I feel like I would have gotten so much more out of this course if the lectures were not just the textbook verbatim. Every single thing on the presentations was taken straight from the free, accessible textbook that the professor assigned modules for us to read prior to class. Figures, practice problems, and definitions were literally the same as these assigned modules. It made lectures feel useless as someone that always read the textbook, and it made the textbook useless for people that only attended lecture and didn't read the textbook. I just think that students that take this class would overall get more out of it if lectures were more organic and not full of recycled substance.

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.
