His new course CHEMBIO 3BM3 is to die for! One of the most passionate profs I've ever had for a topic that I love. Despite his lack of organization, he was amazing, answered questions, and provoked us to think for ourselves.

Comment:
Favourite prof at mac in my first 2.5 years. Fun guy that is more than "just a prof", talks to the class in casual way just to tell quick stories and make us laugh. People say orgo is dreadful but I found it so enjoyable with him. Do the practice tests, go to his class and it should be fine.

Very helpful and one of the best chem profs. He will answer any questions you ask him in office hours and gives very helpful hints to answering assignment questions. His lecture style is amazing. He will make you enjoy going to class at 8:30 in the morning. His tests are fair and will usually try to help everyone succeed.

Really nice, funny, interesting guy. He tends to go really fast over some concepts, while drags on and on over Sn1/Sn2 and elimination reactions. All and all, it's a good class to go to, you probs will laugh

One of the best professors at MAC. The material is hard but Brook does his best to teach the much-dreaded stereoisomers and SN1 and SN2 reactions. A really delightful guy that will prime you to do work and hopefully do well in his course.

He has a great personality! His lectures are really fun, but quite useless. Considering both midterms were real ball-busters, his lectures are not even as helpful as reading the textbook!
