The only one I see is Goward. Will we able to see who else is teaching it? I want to figure out which professor will be my best match to my learning strategies.

It will probably show up eventually...Pippa Lock will probably be teaching a section, she's super popular, but I do know a small minority of people who don't really like her teaching style. In the past, Dr Stover, Dr Landry, Dr Berti have all taught it, as well as some others that I don't remember. None of them are bad, but yeah it does depend on your learning style. Each prof has some people who absolutely love them and some that don't. The only way to figure that out for yourself though is to actually experience it. They all use the same notes and everything, so that's not an issue. They have instructional team meetings and everything, try to keep things as similar as possible between the sections.

I would say the chem department in general is pretty amazing. I was really impressed in first year. Wish the same could be same for the bio department

Chemistry has their shit together. Rest of science needs to step up.

I've heard Landry gives test review sessions that are really helpful according to students.
Do the other chem profs like Lock, Goward, Stover, and berti do this?
And in your opinion, in terms of clarity, are there any profs better than other ones? I've heard good things about Goward, Lock, and Landry.

Incoming first years:
Do not worry about chem, as Bernard/Kevin said they have their shit down so well its unreal. Don't worry about who's teaching as they are really all great teachers. And keep in mind you can always go to Landry's test reviews if you really want to.

i dont think profs matter at all for first year courses. you all end up with the same resources and it ends up being self teaching anyways.

I would disagree with saying all the courses end up being self-taught, its definitely a personal thing whether you learn better form a book or from a prof

i guess so. but classes like chem, bio, math and physics im sure people would go over everything themselves in even greater detail anyways. profs may give you a basic idea but in the end i know i always found myself going over everything and learning it on my own.

Agreed, 90% of my profs were useless.
