he's a smart guy. has many prestigious awards. but really terrible at the whole teaching thing. pretty much only interested in his research. i heard and read things about him but decided to ignore it and think that i'd be able to do well. big mistake. he's old and needs to retire. his accent made it difficult to understand him and made his lectures even more boring. he just goes through each slide, speaking in a monotone with no emotion. first week or so we pointed at each individual element on the periodic table and talked about it in extra depth. pretty much you'll have to self-study, which sucks even for kids who like or are good at chem. he's no good at helping either. instead, his students went to the other teacher for help. i don't know how potter is but parr is really good (but i guess parr must not be teaching this semester).
