CHEM 2820

If it's taught by Dean Harman, do I even have to comment? Awesome finish to the 80s series.

Very difficult material. Great teacher. Go to office hours.

Harman is a wonderful lecturer and he really cares about his students. However, there is no partial credit on the tests. Problem sets are also important, but if you go to his office hours he will basically tell you whether or not your answer is right.

Harman is an awesome professor. If you can make it to the end of the 80's series, he makes it worth the work. Most dedicated professor I've had, he gets tests back quickly with no TAs, will meet with you personally if you have problems, and is genuinely interested in seeing you pass with a good grade. Also has plenty of stories (chem related and not) to keep what could be a pretty dry subject interesting.

Amazing class. Prof Harman is engaging and funny. His material is a little difficult but is very interesting. Clearly only take this if you're already in the 80s series. A great class to finish 4 tough semesters.

All the problem sets are group work and you can just meet with Harman and he gives all the answers. There is no partial credit on the tests but you can get half your points back if you correct all your answers.

After some rough orgo sections, this is a class most 80s kids look forward too. Professor Harman is, as always, a fantastic professor. He is very accessible, definitely utilize his office hours to go over problem sets to make sure you are on the right track (he even give answers!). No textbook, so go to class and stay engaged.

no TA.
no Textbook.
If you are not the top ten in 80s series, should drop this class.

The class was enjoyable and Harman is a great teacher. The only problem was that he did not give partial credit on tests even though the error could be small or calculation based. So that gave me a lower grade than I wanted.

Great Class, great way to end the 80s series.

This is a class that you expect to be great, and it is. You'll have a better basis to appreciate Harman's insight because you'll be smarter now, and the lectures, problem sets, and exams may even be--may I say?--fun. A rewarding end to the 80's series.

Professor Harman is one of the best and most adorable professors I have come across so far at UVA.
