Very tough exams! Know how to do every type of problem frontwards and backwards! Other than that he is a really down to Earth professor and really has a passion for chemistry. Hes friendly and will answer any questions you may have
As a graduate student who is going to focus on large data computation, this course is a very good entry point into the related field. This course not only offers the basics of tensor computation but also gives a very good picture of the current related research. But my suggestion is to have some homework as practices of simple tensor calculations.
Very enthusiastic about the material. Expert on it
He is a really nice professor, who is always willing to help students.
honestly I would just go to lecture for the clicker points. his lectures are not clear at all as he goes through lectures really fast and assumes everyone knows what's going on. went to visit him during office hours and seemed disinterested and not willing to help much with my grade or any questions I had. good luck if you have him lol
Prof. Bernt's lectures are not very helpful, which was made even more clear to me after attending lectures of other professors. The tests are very very difficult; he writes the multiple choice answers to reflect small errors in computation. I tried to attend office hours and he seemed disinterested in helping me while surfing on his computer.
Aleks are 20% of your grade, guarantee pass if you try
If you ever get to take him for Chem 1A DO IT!! He makes Aleks 20% of your grade! This helps immensely in the overall end grade. Hes very responsive and helps out with as much as he can.
He is easily the worst professor I have had. Lectures are useless, and he makes it inpossible to know what is expected on assignments. Watch youtube videos and read the book if you expect to pass.
Just use common sense dad, its easy.
BEST PROF EVER!! Hes so fun and helpful in the lab & hes super nice. Would take again any chance I have
Even though Professor Bernts lectures were a bit boring, he was a very caring guy. He answered every question I had and looks for feedback from students. He bases most of his exams on Professor Prices so as long as you study those exams and book problems you will be fine.
The book is hella important since this guys lectures are boring. He is smart but he can't lecture for nothing. Make sure you really read the book and do aleks because that's what'll give you a good grade in the class. He does curve grades at the end though. GO TO LECTURE! A part of your grade is iClicker and it'll replace your lowest quiz score.
