Chemistry 105 is absolute hell, but it isn't impossible. Wherland is a decent professor who will help you when you need it. He respects students who take his class seriously.

Comment:
He is a very good Chemistry teacher. If you are not a science major and are just taking his class for lab credit you won't like the work and expectations. You need to have a passion for the subjet to understand his teaching Expectaons are clear, material is tough, but he teaches it right out of the book, which is adequate. The internet taught me.

Comment:
Wherland knows exactly what he is talking about, and when you take a course such as this it won't be easy. In order to pass you need to study diligently and make an effort to learn on your own. He gives ample inforin the notes, and what you don't understand you need to read up on, people blame him for bad grades but it's them.

Comment:
Many people find this class hard because of the work involved with it. Professor Wherland is a great teacher if you have a general idea of what he is talking about... Make sure to read the book before lecture, especially if you are unfamiliar with the material, and you should be able to get a good grade in the class. (The class is usually curved).

Comment:
Worst teacher I have ever had. Tests are extremely difficult. Nothing like the study guide, he is no help when you ask for help on your own time. For being the head of the CHEM department he should be a much better teacher. Do anything you can not to take his class.

Exams are very difficult. Lectures are hard to pay attention in. The way he writes his lecture notes is extremely confusing (I often found myself wondering what information went together). He is easy to understand, however. Lectures make sense for the most part (if you pay attention).

Wherland's class was early, and his teaching style isn't too exciting. So, many mornings in his class were spent half-sleeping. His exams were extremely difficult but the weekly quizzes were helpful. His lecture style is a bit confusing, but the notes are clear.

Wherland is a good man and he is helpful. However, its hard to understand from him, once I attend his lecture I get confused but in fact the class the class material is very easy, you can study at home and you don't have to go to the lecture.

Awful teacher. He rambles on and on about the non-important things and never actually gives you an example. Avoid him if at all possible. I attended a different lecture which was the only reason i got a decent grade

Not a class you can sleep through, not do homework, and expect to do well on exams. Go to lecture and ask for plenty of help before you get completely lost. Wherland is really nice and very willing to help. He holds review sessions before exams and offers a lot of study material. He can go off on tangents during lecture, but it's not bad.

CHEM 105 isn't too bad if you've taken AP Chem, but if you get a bad TA, 105 will be really hard. Lectures aren't too bad and Wherland isn't a bad prof. He just sometimes finishes lectures the day before homework is due. The tests are difficult though. Labs and quizzes and homework isn't too bad. Good luck!

The prof. Wasn't that bad, However you may not understand everything because sometimes he talks as he's talking to him self. quizzes aren't that hard. T.a. Schurie harrison don't take her she's tough and she'll never give you a good grade even though you work hard on your report.

Tests are tricky. Quizzes are easy points that really add up to help. Be sure to do the homework. Dr. Wherland is kind of hard to pay attention to, but reading the book before or after and looking over the other professors notes are very helpful. Nick Treat is a GREAT TA.

Comment:
Wherland's lectures are pretty dry, and only helpful some of the time. Exams can be fairly difficult, and the textbook they switched to this year is awful. Having a good, helpful TA is probably the easiest way to come out of this course with a decent grade.

Comment:
This Chemistry Class is a weeding out class, if you've never taken AP chemistry or anything higher than basic chem in highschool, you are in for a hard time. His lectures are pretty useless, unless you read the book right after, which gets annoying having to do each lecture. This class is hard and i love math and science.
