I took General Chemistry, and there’s definitely a ton of people who have mixed feelings about this as well. I, for one, loved the material, and the professors, but that’s probably because I’m a Chemistry major and I’m obligated to be obsessed with it.

Anyway, I ALWAYS got the feeling from all three of my professors that they definitely really wanted to students to understand the material, and really just love what they do. This semester we even had Dr. Lyle in lecture almost everyday doing demonstrations (frequently blowing things up which was awesome by the way). Gen Chem professors get a lot of hate because the classes are usually filled with premeds just taking chemistry to fill their requirement and get an A. You would never known from my professors…I was impressed, especially with Macphail this semester.

Now, that being said, a lot of people don’t go to chemistry lecture because you can get much of the same information from the book, but I always thought it was worthwhile and interesting. Oh, and I’m very biased so someone else might think differently:p
