<p>I am planning on taking chem 140b next quarter, but I am unsure of who to take. The choices are Hoeger, Burkart, or Johnson. I have already ruled out Hoeger because theres no way I'm gonna wake up 8am three days a week. People have mixed reviews about Burkart though, some ppl say he's good, others say he's bad. Im deciding between Burkart or Johnson. It's Johnson's first time teaching ochem, so it can either be a good thing or a bad thing. Does anyone have any ideas or know more on Burkart? THanks!!</p>
<p>Burkart’s not quite as talented a lecturer as Hoeger, nor as helpful at office hours since his full-time position is a professor and not a lecturer, and 140B is a particularly tricky course compared to A and C. Why not just wake up early, down some caffeine, and take a nap after class? I’d hold off on Johnson since it’s her first time teaching, and her background wasn’t in organic chemistry. No idea why the department would assign her that class.</p>
<p>On a related note, how is Weizman for CHEM 140BH and how does the honors course compare to the regular class?</p>
<p>Hoeger was my favorite ochem prof. Id say its worth waking up for</p>
