<p>What are some of the best classes or professors you´ve had?
- Comment´s on Math 17 or Math 19…differences? challenges?
- Also, I would like to know more about Chem 33. Any comments about the class, different professors…</p>
<p>if you did well in AP Chem, and had a good AP Chem class, 33 will be a joke, I had Doll, who was...interesting. I enjoyed being in class, but I would take notes, totally lost for about 45mins, and then in the final minutes, he would say something that would instantly make the past 45mins tie together and make sense.</p>
<p>I signed up for 17, but then dropped down to 10 because my advisor told me there's no point in doing 17 if i don't actually enjoy math.</p>
<p>The problem is that I did not take AP chem, I did take regular chemistry in high school, so I dont know if it would be convenient to take chem 33..</p>
<p>Take 33. Even without a strong chem background it's not that challenging. If you have a basic handle on the atomic model and understand periodic trend, as well as being aware of simple acid-base relationships you should be fine.</p>
<p>17 is not for engineers, 19 is for engineers.</p>
<p>17 was a lot better than 10 is. I took 17, it was challenging, but I did well in the course and the material, while similar to 10, was a lot more interesting (I had a friend take 10 second semester).</p>
<p>Which one´s more mathematically challenging? Math 17 or 19?</p>
<p>who's the best/easiest chem 33 professor</p>
<p>The best is the hardest, Moulton. The worst is the easiest, Rose-Petruck.</p>
<p>It's not a matter of more mathematically challenging, Bruins. One is for engineers and is far more applications based and the other is for people who are very good math students and is more abstract and cares less about 10 decimal places. More than that, if you're an engineering major, you take 19, if not, there is no reason to consider it. Having a higher number doesnt mean jack.</p>
<p>Can you describe how Moulton, Rose-Petruck, and also Doll teach and why you consider Moulton tough and rose easy?</p>
<p>go to the criticalreview and it has comments about almost all of the classes that are offered.</p>

<p>Basically, Moulton gives you questions that require you to understand concepts and apply them to situations in a way you never thought to. It's far more "real" learning and can be rather challenging. Rose-Petruck teaches the material in a simple way and asks it in the same simple way. Doll is in between-- tests arent that bad, but he incorporates a lot o fhis personal interests into his teaching and therefore one can lose sight of what you need to know etc.</p>
<p>This is just from my impressions, I took it with Moulton because he made me think, where as Rose-Petruck really makes the class simple for anyone with anything remotely close to a decent background in chemistry.</p>
<p>So would Doll be a good compromise or should I just f myself over first semester and take Moulton?</p>
<p>you should go to all the different sections during shopping period and see which professor you like best. it doesn't matter which one you sign up for now.</p>
