<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>For those who have taken CHM2046 at UF, which professor would you guys recommend? I know Horvath, Martin, Gower and Myers are teaching this course this Spring. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>From what I have heard, Martin is the easiest and you should stay away from Horvath. I’m taking it with Mitchell this semester. I had him for 2045 and he is a good professor. His exams aren’t easy, but he’s very helpful and funny during class.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m stuck between Martin or Gower. I heard both were good.</p>
<p>D has Mitchell. Said this is the first he’s taught 2046 in awhile, huh? Nena, eventhough Mitchell’s exams are difficult, is he fair? Do his exams come out of left field, or do they actually cover the material he’s taught. Not worried about difficult as long as it’s fair. </p>

<p>Took Mitchell for 2045, and I agree with nena, he is very fair and his exams do not come out of left field. There may be some difficult problems on the exam, but they would have been covered in class. For our first exam one problem in particular, a double limiting reactant problem, was the hardest on the test and Mitchell was sure to let us know that we were going to be tested on that unique situation.</p>
<p>On a separate note, I’m almost certain Horvath is not teaching this semester. I have 5th period lecture and was informed Horvath was teaching 5th and 2nd period lectures, but yesterday we found out that Myers picked up those sections.</p>

Great to know! Will pass info along to D. 
She didn’t take 2045 as she AP’d out of it, so we’ll see how this goes. Hopefully okay, as she’s had both honors chem and AP chem. Good luck, everyone! :)</p>

<p>Thanks for the news! </p>
<p>I suppose we don’t have to worry about having Horvath this semester. It’s just Martin, Gower, Mitchell and Myers. </p>
<p>I had Martin and Mitchell before. Fair professors. Anyone know anything about Gower and Myers?</p>
<p>Myers is still teaching? I had him back in '04 and he was probably 70 then. I thought his class was an easy A, for what it’s worth.</p>
<p>I had Myers for 51 and have the same opinions as gthopeful. In 51, he went into a little more detail with certain topics. He really loved electrochemistry and complex ion chemistry.</p>
<p>It looks like most ppl are taking Martin because all the sections are closed. I think I’m gonna go with Myers. Thanks, guys!</p>
<p>Hey do you have Mitchell’s final exam?
I really need it, in order to pass his class. I need as much practice as I could get.</p>
<p>Sorry, D doesn’t have any of her school stuff at home this summer. Don’t know if she has the final or not, but even if she did, it’s not here. 
Good luck!</p>

<p>So, I have Horvath for 2046. How bad is it really?</p>
<p>Horvath’s tests are hard, but he gives tons of extra credit. I got over 100% on all his tests and I didn’t go to class very much. If you have a mind the easily absorbs chem, you will ace it no problem. If it wasn’t graded where like 1/3 of the test is extra credit, the class would be impossible.</p>
<p>How are you guys finding out who’s teaching which section? </p>
<p>Schedule of courses on the registrar website still says “Staff” under instructor and Gower told me last semester that the professors dont find out what section they are teaching until the week before classes start.</p>
<p>Sometimes you can see who’s teaching if you look on the textbook page of the uf bookstore site. Also, sometimes it’ll list one teacher for all sections, i.e. Horvath, but he doesn’t teach all the sections … just a prof in charge of the whole thing. If you’ll notice when I posted about D’s teacher it was this past January, after she’d already started class.</p>

<p>Oh man, I only looked at the 2010 on the date and assumed you made that post very recently, my bad lol. But smyjzin wrote that he/she has Horvath on 7/29, so I got curious. I guess I gotta wait till the drop/add week to really find out who’s teaching my section</p>
<p>Would you still have the old exams for martin’s 2046 class laying around? It would help so much!</p>
<p>=D</p>
<p>hey richardgavilla, how’d you do on Martin’s first test?</p>
<p>does anyone have the schemes for 2046?</p>
