<p>Laude's class is already full, and I don't think Sutcliffe is teaching this semester. Since those are the only 2 names I've heard of, who else is good? Cowley? Mccord? Vandebout?</p>
<p>Have you searched MyEdu for professor feedback? It is quite helpful.
[UT</a> - The University of Texas at Austin | CH 301 professor GPAs & ratings (Principles Of Chemistry I-wb) | MyEdu](<a href=“http://www.myedu.com/CH-301-Principles-Of-Chemistry-I-wb/course/s/1516257/professor/]UT”>http://www.myedu.com/CH-301-Principles-Of-Chemistry-I-wb/course/s/1516257/professor/)</p>
<p>It appears Cowley has 4.1/5 stars but a course GPA of 2.05; McCord has 3.2/5 stars with a 2.26 course GPA; VandenBout has 4.2/5 stars with no GPA because there are only two reviews. </p>
<p>Read the reviews for each professor and then choose, if you can.</p>
<p>Yes, I’ve already read the reviews but I’m still confused…hence why I’m asking on here</p>
<p>From all the reviews vandenbout seems to be right up there with laude. I don’t know why but there used to be a lot more reviews for him then there are now. But the ones I read earlier said he was pretty easy and just an overall cool guy so that’s why I chose him.</p>
<p>I was reading reviews for another opening for Fakhreddine and heard she was fairly alright compared to the others. Planning on enrolling in her class…We’ll see how this goes.</p>
<p>She has a restriction on her class though…</p>
<p>McCord teaches the lion’s share of 301/302 students. He can be tough, but he curves at the end, sometimes very generously, which means all you have to do get an A is study more than the people sitting next to you, which in most cases means at all.</p>
<p>UT is doing some kind of “course transformation” program to try and get students more engaged in the gigantic intro classes. They’re doing it with CH 301 & 302 starting next year, as well as BIO 311C & D. Google the words University of Texas course transformation to learn more, but everything I’ve found is pretty vague. If you ask me it’s UT trying to show one more time that they really do care about teaching, but instead of hiring more teachers and have smaller class sizes (BORING!) they have some brand-new, experimental, headline-grabbing innovative approach. I hope it works.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, look into the Freshman Research Initiative as an alternative to taking CH204 lab in the spring. [Freshman</a> Research Initiative](<a href=“http://fri.cns.utexas.edu/]Freshman”>http://fri.cns.utexas.edu/)</p>
