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.",

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.",
