Professor Amberger did a great job in his first semester teaching. The problems sets and practice tests and quizzes are super helpful. He also post all of his lectures on-line. Just keep up with readings and practice problems and you will be good.Rate My Professors ↗
I had Professor Amberger during his first semester teaching. Of course, he was working out some kinks but he had a great sense of humor, and you could tell that he really wanted to help his students learn. He can sometimes be a little vague, but if you ask a question about something, he always makes sure that people understand before going on.Rate My Professors ↗
Brent is young but knowledgable. He gives a clear idea of what is on the exams and is a fair grader. Brent is funny, smart, and cute. He gives problem sets for each chapter which summarize all the concepts which are on the exams. You have all the resources you need to succeed in Chem343 if you take it with Prof. Amberger.Rate My Professors ↗
Go into office hours or ask questions on Piazza because he is always willing to help out and answer questions, but not if you don't ask them. Very nice guy. Tests are difficult, but a lot of studying and a lot of time spent on the class will pay off.Rate My Professors ↗
Good teacher, especially for his first semester. He'll be excellent in a year or two when he gets more experience. Wants his students to do well and will go out of his way to help them out. O Chem is a hard class no matter what, but he'll get you through it.Rate My Professors ↗
Pretty decent lecturer for it being his first semester lecturing. His tests are hard but if you do all of the problem sets and practice exams he provides, the tests won't be an issue.Rate My Professors ↗
