CHEM11A . Laverman L E 1 Year, 1 Month Ago

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.

CHEM196 . Laverman L E 8 Years Ago

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.

2A . Laverman L E 9 Years Ago

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.

CHEM2A . Laverman L E 9 Years Ago

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.

CHEM2A . Laverman L E 9 Years Ago

Taking Chem 2a is only for people that are really into it or already took AP in high school. Lectures are clear, but he moves quickly and expects everyone to understand immediately. Office hours are helpful if you can catch him. First midterm and final are pretty fair but second midterm wrecks a lot of grades. Study hard and you'll be fine-ish.

CHEM2A . Laverman L E 9 Years Ago

Took it last year, and although Laverman was tough, I learned the most from him than from any other chem instructor at UCSB since. Isn't that the point? You have to study, but you can get an A and it will be a valuable A. Although his tests can be challenging, his tests are fair, straightforward, and trickless.
