Baugh so hard that shit cray

I'm writing this now before i see my grade for chem 20AH so that i won't be as biased. There's really two things to rate here, the professor and the class chem 20AH.

Professor Baugh is a nice easy going guy who just happens to be a friggin genius. He's a good teacher in class because he asks the class (of 60 or so) questions and interacts with them, which helps you get the course material. The thing i really liked about him is that he liked the kids who were normal and disliked the freakshows (and let me tell you, there are a few in Chem 20AH) who went to the library for supplemental quantum chemistry books the first day and then bithed when they were all checked out. I reccomend taking Professor Baugh and i did like his TA as well because they were real people, not chem people who'd never seen the light of day. before you go leaping to take chem 20AH, read the next paragraph.

Chem 20AH is a kick in the teeth. I thought i knew at least a little something about chemistry before i took this class. It's absolutely nuts, if you're some kid who aced HS chemistry and is a humanities major looking for a "challenge" as so many of the people weeping were, then run from this class as far as your legs will carry you. If you're going into something this will actually be useful for, (biochem, chem etc.) take the class and get ready. Let go of everything you ever thought you knew about chem and just go with it. The first midterm was hard, the second was easier but still hard and the final was as hard as the first midterm, but was do-able provided you studied your a$$ off. If you go into this class expecting to be a jedi and get an easy A, forget it, but if you approach it with the mentality that you're a lamb going to the slaughterhouse, you'll hang in there and get a whole lot of high-level knowledge (i talked to one fo my third year friends and he said we got upper division classwork). If i get better than a C in this class im gonna frame the darn printout and hang it above my mantle.

this professor's lectures may not have anything to do with the exams, but the good thing about this class is that his grading system is really generous. most of the people i talked to who had him for the chem series actually got B+s and As. So ya, maybe people don't like him dat much, but it may actually be easier to get a better grade in his class than in scerri's class because everyone does bad on baugh's exams, which means the curve will most likely be generous.

To the two recent posters: please stop fighting, this is a place for evaluations. And stop using fob, we're all human beings.

That being said, Baugh is pretty hard. His final was really trickky. You get 2 sheets of notes to bring to the test but I ended up throwing both cheat sheets away after the 2nd or 3rd question. Good luck!

Supposed to have 2 leactures per week but he cancelled the first week of classes and the lectures after sixth weeks were all abt presentation. No midterm, no hw, no final. So, u would learn nothing in the class overall. There were four reports in the quarter and the lowest score of the report would be dropped. The grading was just ok coz the final decision was made by Baugh. The TAs graded the reports first and then Baugh and he pulled down the scores....for example, many ppl in the class got 7x or 8x out of 100 from TAs but Baugh made the score to 6x or even lower....Be ready to see that happen. And u wont get back the FIRST report back after FIFTH week, its terrible......which implied that u wont know how u did during the quarter.....
The only great pt in the class was that he wasnt a killer.... its not hard to pass the course but dont expect to get a gd grade.
