CHEM 103
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Really felt seen and cared for while learning. I had a joint professor lecture and they both really worked together and created a great educational setting each lecture. Very engaging and I felt like he actually was passionate about my learning and performance in the course.

Professor Brunold is an amazing professor- his lectures are very applicable and he goes at a really good pace. He is also genuinely a funny guy and makes us laugh a lot. It's a hard class, but Professor Brunold made it fun/manageable. Overall great guy, 10/10.

CHEM 103
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
LOVE LOVE LOVE Brunold. He was so kind and had a true passion for Chemistry. When you ask him questions, he makes sure he is answering to the best extent he can and truly wants you to understand Chemistry. Chem 103 is notorious for being a difficult "weed-out" class for STEM majors, but he makes it so much easier. Also, he has a cool accent :)

Super nice guy, very caring and passionate. Always engaged students. Would definitely want him again. TA not so good, though. Hit or miss with the TA.
