CHEM1CL . Bernt C M A Year Ago

I'm not using this to review the professor, but more-so the TAs. As of writing this review, it is Week 10 of the quarter, and I have not gotten a single grade back for any of my reports. I find it extremely frustrating that there is little to no feedback within this class, and considering how much LabFlow already automatically grades, its lazy too.

CHEM1CL . Bernt C M 1 Year, 5 Months Ago

Chem 1CL overall was really challenging, and the labs have much more confusing processes than A and B. But it's honestly just about which TA you end up with. My TA was chill and explained concepts very well. The final, like the previous two labs, was incredibly hard. My advice is try to go into the final with an A+, so you can tank the bad grade.

CHEM1B . Bernt C M 5 Months Ago

He NEVER answers his emails. I have emailed him several times this quarter and he never emailed me back. It's so aggravating because sometimes I really needed him to answer and he never did. Also, I had a 79.87% in the class and he did not bump it up to a B-.

This class would be easier with a section to review material in, as no review material is given prior to finals week aside from lists of recommended textbook questions. That being said, recommended textbook questions accurately reflect exams, and lectures are informative, concise, and engaging. Unfortunately, Bernt does not reply to emails.

CHEM1B . Bernt C M 6 Months Ago

Bernt is nice and knowledgeable about the material, but he never replies to emails and stopped sending weekly announcements 2 weeks into the quarter. He doesn't have review exams posted, so I recommend doing book problems and doing Sylvester's review exams to get practice with questions in that format.

CHEM1AL . Bernt C M 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

They were unresponsive to emails, took an unreasonably long time to resolve a grading issue, and only addressed the emails after I threatened to escalate it to the chem department. But even then, he still didn't do anything. For Pre-Bio 1st YEAR majors, he genuinely caused unnecessary stress for a 2 credit class.
