<p>^ find old exams if you can (i’m not going to tell you where). he gives you 2 practice exams per “real” exam and all the problem setups are identical. i was in a section once and the TA had broken down his exams by content – like out of 17 questions, he’d average 3 on equilibrium calculations, 5 on pH, 2 on law of mass action, etc. </p>
<p>he’s a very good professor. it was after his class that i declared a chemistry major.</p>
<p>^I definitely thought his tests were fair, but I had trouble understanding him in lectures. Something must have changed though because his professor recommendation numbers are lower this year than in the past.</p>

<p>@astrina: So you think Johnson is a good chemistry professor? I’ve read reviews that said she’s overrated, so I’m not sure.</p>
<p>^I only had her for two weeks but I thought she was really good.</p>
<p>@ adl0816 - see posts #5, #15, #19, please.</p>
<p>Okay thanks guys! So that means there’s at least 3 good Chem 6A professors. Hopefully I’ll be able to get one of them.</p>
<p>I have Kummel right now for CHEM6B and he is very entertaining. Since chem lectures are usually 1+ hrs on Tues/Thurs, you NEED a professor/doctor who can keep you awake. He is very articulate with his words, and sometimes confuses me with his lectures, but which professor doesn’t occasionally? TAKE KUMMEL, you won’t regret it. Plus, any CHEM class that you take there will always be super genius kids, so don’t complain about grades or curves or what not. I also heard that Brydges is really nice, and Johnson is good as well, but hard.</p>
<p>Hey guys im new to this page and to UCSD, but Astrina, you made a comment on obtaining old quiz’s, can anyone show me where because i think that would really help me alot! Thanks guys!</p>
<p>Aw, no one likes Muller? I took him for chem6b last year and thought he was great! He must’ve changed his grading and testing policy…we had two midterms, both written w/ no multiple choice. An 85% was an A and the curve was curving the test down to the highest grade. It ended up being very fair, imho.</p>
<p>Granted, he’s definitely not as entertaining or thorough a lecture as Hoeger, who I loved enough to take for chem140a the following quarter. I did enjoy Muller’s pace best. Last year he didn’t use a single slide or powerpoint. It forced you to attend class but meant you didn’t have to obsessively review slides on your own time. He also finished grading and uploading all scores within 2 days - impressive, considering it takes my physics professor a week + to upload scantron scores. </p>
<p>This sounds like a Muller defense. I’m sorry! I just thought he deserves at least some sort of chance XD</p>
<p>I like Johnson, Crowell, and Hoeger. Johnson explains it the best. Crowell is very nice and his grading system is nice. Hoeger is in between. I realized that Johnson uses the same questions from last quarters midterm on a midterm that I just took for 6C. So i don’t know if this goes same with 6B. My roomie took Johnson for 6B. She struggled and ended up with a C. 6B is the hardest out of gen chem series. So I would rather take someone who’s less hard than Johnson but also good/fair at explaining.</p>
<p>id say take kummel for 6b, and brydges for 6c</p>
<p>last year kummel posted past exams and answer key at urey hall, which is in revelle college, which is near york hall</p>
<p>my opinion: </p>
<p>kummel > crowell >> brydges</p>
<p>(don’t know anything about muller)</p>
