I think professor Laverman is one of those professors who actually care about students. His lectures are heavy but its an upper div class so makes sense. I recommend going to his office hours for any questions on how to do the graphs or understanding the concepts in general. Eli reviews were helpful.

Professor Laverman is definitely one of the best professors I've had so far. His CCS gen chem courses are structured really well and are great for learning. He can typically tie lectures to higher-level concepts that make you more curious and interested and willing to research and learn on your own which is a great quality.

Great professor who would always improve your knowledge of the subject. Super passionate and knowledgeable about the course; he wrote the textbook! I would really recommend his lectures, though the homework system is run through an external system that requires a purchase.

One of the best chemistry professors out there. Such a beast. He makes things things simple and enjoyable to learn, yet you still end up learning so much from his class. Also takes the time to learn your name and is very approachable at office hours. I wish he taught all my upper division chem courses.

Took Chem2A, professor laverman encourages class discussion and answers questions well. Tests are fair and straightforward. If you know your material you will get an A in the class. Since professor laverman wrote the textbook the lectures are a lot clearer if you read the book.

Professor gives interesting lectures. He combines the boring textbook knowledge to some interesting real applications. Laverman clarifies everything he teaches and if you get confused, you can either ask him again in class or go to the office hours. The course is more difficult than Chem1A for sure and you should be well prepared for your 2nd exam.
