Quick Chemistry Professor Question

<p>for Chem 20b, the staff has changed into Bauer. Has anyone heard anything about him?
My options are:
Felker
Bauer
Baugh</p>

<p>same question</p>

<p>My 20a TA said that he knew Bauer and told us to not take Chemistry next quarter, refused to say why though… </p>

<p>So by my guess, all the chem professors are bad (based on my TA and bruinwalk), so pick your poison. D:</p>

<p>who is your 20a teacher/ta?</p>

<p>If I’m not mistaken that should be Christina Bauer. I’m pretty she is a postdoc in the Chem Department. She’s a pretty nice person, but a bit soft spoken, I guess. I’ve only talked to her and never taken a class taught by her, so I wouldn’t really know.</p>

<p>I’m in lec 3 with Scerri. And I don’t think my TA wants to be named… Given that he doesn’t want to be known talking bad about Bauer…</p>

<p>Any other news on Bauer? UCLA really did a number on me. I had 20BH specifically to get Tolbert, and had to give up Brown for it, but then they go and cancel Honors, and im left without Tolbert OR Brown.</p>

<p>i had baugh for 20bh. he was a rly cool prof. his tests were harder than scerri’s or w/e. outta 200 pts, average is low 100s. obviously theres a curve.</p>

<p>pretty easy to separate oneself from the curve though, juhst think outside the box on the problems (usually tough calculations).</p>

<p>my friends all took 20b with felker that quarter. one friend got rocked and the other two did well (engineers who have the whole solve tough math problems thing down pat). bottom line, felker is more like a math class.</p>

<p>i assume bauer is a postdoc, so not much i can say here.</p>

<p>Tolbert, Bauer, or Baugh for Chem20B?</p>

<p>I switched from Bauer to Tolbert. I only picked Tolbert because “THE STAFF” was the least of three evils among Felker, Baugh, and a random professor. Then my roommate who was trying to sign up for chemistry 20BH told me that the class was canceled and the professor was teaching chemistry 20B, so I switched lectures.</p>

<p>That and I would have two finals on the same day if I took the second chemistry 20B lecture.</p>

<p>^ I think I may do the same. Although I will need to wake up 2 hours earlier on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, it seems like Tolbert’s reviews are pretty good. And I, too, would have had two finals on the same day in Bauer’s class.</p>

<p>^ what’s your other class? Mine is History 13B</p>

<p>Oh nice, same here. haha (Discussion 1H)</p>

<p>don’t take Baugh</p>

<p>People said the same thing about Pang and Chem 20L, yet others say he’s not that bad. I’m with Skibo but I couldn’t find anything about him/her.</p>

<p>Actually, there are reviews for Skibo on ratemyprofessors.com. She’s got only two, though. Have a look.</p>

<p>I’ve heard that you should stay away from Felker at all costs. Baugh doesn’t seem too bad, but he’s probably not as effective as Scerri…(Did I just say that??)</p>

<p>Wow…Does the Chemistry department have ANY good professors?!</p>

<p>Just the general chem professors are bad. The ochem professors get good reviews on bruinwalk.</p>

<p>pang or skibo for chem 20L? both have bad reviews…</p>

<p>anyone had skibo?</p>
