Collegeamazing!!! I definitely was not expecting this after having Lewis for 109a (another really good professor). Just make sure you take thorough notes in lecture and CLAS and everything will be okay :') Made 109b tolerable and related it to real life applications so it didn't seem like pointless information
i literally could not take away anything from his lectures, his handwriting was messy like a 5 year old and i basically self taught the class. His quizzes was on material that we didn't go over in lecture. His class emails were like essays you had to read and seemed petty.
Aue is a great teacher! Sometimes he will talk about chemistry far beyond the scope of this material, but he makes it clear that we do not need to know that. Will usually only test on what he lectures on and will be clear about what is on the exams. You might find his lectures to be confusing, but just a matter of getting use to. FAIR TESTER!
He's such a nice man and he genuinely wants his students to succeed but his lectures are sooooo confusing. He only writes on the board (no slides whatsoever and no iClicker) and he can be so confusing. If I hadn't had my nose in the textbook the whole quarter and gone to CLAS religiously I absolutely would have failed. But he's just so damn nice!
Aue is an iconic king. His class is challenging and can be confusing, but what do you expect out of an organic chemistry class? Hes a bit disorganized, however his practice tests are extremely similar to his midterms/final and very fair. If you go to his office hours or stay after review sessions he genuinely will help you for as long as needed.
Aue is an iconic king. His lack of structure makes his lectures confusing at times, but if you see him during office hours or after review sessions he is super helpful and genuinely cares about your success. Practice tests were very similar to the real ones and his curve is massive (around 10%).
