A lot of the information you have to ask for help from the TAs to understand or you need to figure out yourself. The labs do not align with the lecture material at all. The homework is difficult because you can't understand the lecture. You need a good TA.",

    "comment": "John Wright's version of CHEM 329 was a dumpster fire. Lecture was useless, lab was disjointed from the lecture, and tests and homework were sometimes just completely wrong. Was extremely unhelpful in his responses to questions on Piazza. FURTHERMORE, the grading scale was changed w/o notice and NOT in the students' favor. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.",

    "comment": "John Wright may have been the most disorganized professor I have ever had the displeasure of taking a class with. He ended up ghosting the TAs and the students when asked about pretty much anything for the class. He was also so disorganized that he got confused by his own lectures and homeworks regularly, leading to this class becoming frustrating.",

Exams had same format as homework, which wasn't taught in lecture. He's a great guy, but wasn't super helpful towards getting a good grade. Honestly feel like I learned nothing.",

Homework has to be coded in Python, which is not explained properly, homework problems are riddled with mistakes (homework is pretty easy once you get it though, and you grade it yourself.)",
