amazing!!! 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%).
Aue is a great researcher and teacher for honors or 109C but for 109A, he is quite possibly the WORST professor you could ever take. If you don't go into his class with a very advanced chemistry background (that you probably don't have if you're taking 109A), good luck. This class is not fair and studying/knowing the material doesn't mean success.
He gives practice exams that are almost identical to the real ones and only tests on what he goes over in class. Lectures are pretty disorganized and hard to follow though. Overall hes iconic king.
Aue is a great and fair professor. Exams have few curveballs and everything that he goes over in class is super important and always tested. He is a little disorganized but not too bad. He goes against the book at times so going to lecture is important. He responds super fast over email and just overall wants you to understand WHY not just memoriz
Aue is terrible at explaining what he does in class and dismissed questions. He assumes you have already learned everything from the textbook and only goes over vague examples. All practice questions/exams given are from 2006-2014. No homework or way to practice. Basically a waste of your time...
Goes pretty slow. No book use needed at all. He tests based on what he lectures. Make sure to use his old exams he posts as they are very similar to his current ones
Goes super slow, but a guy that genuinely wants you to understand. He tries to help you understand rather than memorize. He repeats things over and over to stress what's important. He gives practice tests that are almost identical to his real exams.
