Comment:

If you don't like going to class, don't take Brennan. Though his lectures may seem dull at times (if you're tired or just not in the mood), he always gives applications to what material he is teaching. You'll learn a lot of chemistry trivia on how the world around you works, in addition to the main concepts in Inorganic Chemistry.

Comment:

One of the better teachers in the Chemistry department. He is slightly hard to get used to, since he gives you no material online or even handouts. However, his lectures are very informative and if you take good notes, you'll get an A for sure.

Comment:

He's easy his exams are easy! He scares you at the beginning by saying there's no curve but there really is. I'm only did bad because I didn't do the HW at the beginning and fell far behind. AS LONG AS YOU DO THE HW, GO TO LECTURES AND DON'T FALL BHIND, HIS CLASS IS AN EASY A! Too bad he hates me.

Comment:

If this class was held in the morning no one would be awake. Still, I wish I had a stun gun which would keep me more concious than withour during his lectures at 3PM. Strange grader (more reasonable than regular chem though) in my opinion and a lot less BS.

Comment:

Seemed scary at first but later lightens up. Makes sarcastic comments all day. Exams are not as hard as anticipated but he does have a boring, monotone voice. Overall workload is minimal
