CHEM 2410

Hart Course...Great Professor!

Gus is a South African casanova. Soothing voice, only attendance and good note taking ability is needed to do well, and the occasional yummy anecdote make this orgo class the easiest and best by far.

Professor Gerrans is the greatest Organic Chem professor ever. I never seen a professor whom comes into class, gives the most organized lectures ever, and still has time for any student in and outside of class. Office Hours and appointments are very helpful because Gerrans will answers any questions you ask and will work out all mechanisms asked of. Tests are fair, but you have to understand the material in order to perform well on them. When you miss problems on the free response sections of quizzes and the final, you rarely receive extra credit unless the problem is conceptual. The key to succedding is taking very good notes in class, understanding the chapter homework, and past quiz and final problems. I found it more helpful to study the quiz and final problems more than anything because the questions are very very similar to the questions on the actual quiz.

Professor Gerrans is a very approachable and followable lecturer. Although he brings light to all the course objectives he makes it tangible even to those who may not intend on majoring in chemistry. His test format is challenging, but fair and is exemplary of your understanding of the represented material.

I like Gerrans because his lecture notes are very helpfu l in studying for the exam. His exams are challenging, but if you study hard--your grade will reflect that. He does not assign weekly problem sets, and you get to drop one exam grade.

All you need to do well in this class: look over lecture notes and do practice quizzes from previous years.

go to class, gerrans makes it easy to understand,

Prof. Gerrans explains concepts in organic chemistry very well. The quizzes are straight from the lectures. All I needed were good notes, and I didn't even have to open the textbook aside from rare occasions. If you have to take orgo, take it with him!

Professor Gerrans is a great guy, his lectures are really organized and easy to follow, and he's really accessible. BUT this class is absolutely rediculous. The tests are difficult, you really need to know the information to do well, there is no way to fake your way through this class.

This class with Professor Gerrans really wasn't as hard as people say it is. The tests are straight from lectures and aren't that bad if you go to class. He doesn't put his notes online, so make sure you pay attention in class.
