Comment:
Dr. Blauch's lectures consist mainly of doing problems instead of teaching concepts. There also seemed to be a big disconnect in those problems taught in class, the problems on the homework, and the problems on the test. Consistency in these problems would have made the class much more understandable. His outside help was rarely helpful.

Comment:
He's a very nice man, however his lectures are completely unrelated the homework. And while the homework is helpful for understanding the concepts, his tests are incredibly difficult.

Comment:
Blauch is an absolute genius and a super sweet guy. That being said, I never understood a single lecture he gave - and I read before class and participate. He expects you to be on the next level ish and the labs and hw are beyond hard. Srsly invest in an answer key and buddy up with the smartest premed. Office hours are ok. The final made me cry

Comment:
He may be the worst lecturer at Davidson. His work on the board is usually irrelevant and have nothing to do with the topics we are covering in the homework and tests. While this causes the material on the tests to be hard, he is generally pretty liberal about giving out partial credit, and OWL homework is pretty easy when the site works.

Comment:
Dr. Blauch is difficult and can come across as harsh and strict. His lectures are often confusing, but he can explains concepts very well in office hours. Tests are hard but fair. Lab is very relevant to class material.

Gets a bad rap for being too hard, but he's the man for upper level classes. Perhaps the smartest person I've ever met, he really knows his stuff and is great in experimental chemistry.

Dr. Blauch knows his stuff, though sometimes forgets that 121 is not all chem majors who know their stuff too. however, i think that the math basis for 121 is what most students really don't like, not the professor. you just gotta do the work.

Dr. Blauch is a very intelligent man, but unfortunately he expects all of his students to be at the same level he is, and as such getting help can be very frustrating if you don't understand something immediately.
