If you attend all lectures and discusses and put in work on the homework you will be successful. If the material is particularly challenging for you he provides the names of numerous textbooks for reference and is available outside of class.",

Try to participate during lecture if you can, and if you made it through chem 115, this class will be a breeze (relatively)",

He made pchem interesting to learn and was very helpful during office hours and made sure we understood the material. There are challenging problem sets due each week but if you do/understand them, you will do well on exams. Would highly recommend.",

I had an awful time in 115, but Mark's enthusiasm reinspired my love for chemistry. If he's teaching 116 again, you should take the 115-6 sequence- having Ediger for 116 was worth the pain of 115.",
