Comment:

Sanders isn't a bad prof, goes over all subject manner but at times can simplify too much and assumes you understand already. Don't take this class if you need someone who will walk through examples on the board every class, make sure to keep up with content

Comment:

Have been out of high school for 6 years, the main reason I gave this class a 5 on the difficulty scale. - Professor Sanders is a very nice guy, great at the "dad jokes". His teaching style was not for me. He primarily reads off of slides, rarely does written examples on the board with the class. Learned most of the material by myself.

Comment:

David is an okay professor and tries to make class fun. However, we did barely any examples in class and the take homes that he gives you often omit important information to do the question. He would often make mistakes on examples in class which caused some confusion. He goes through lecture slides pretty fast but posts them online after class.

Comment:

Chem 112 is a hard class plain and simple, but having David Sanders as a prof makes it manageable and engaging. He works hard to help all of the students understand the concepts. In class he makes jokes, and relates content to practical application. 10/10 prof, other chem profs should take notes from him.

Comment:

Tough class but Sanders tries to teach students patterns for the mechanisms. He advocates for not memorizing and I came out with a 77 without memorizing but truely learning the course. Bonus questions in class, take notes of his examples during class for studying later as they are not included in slides. New textbook is great, minus some errors.

The only reason I went to chem was because prof Sanders was hilarious, brightened up my morning! Good prof, chem is a hard subject and he recognizes that, and is available to help out whenever.

BEST PROF EVER. He was super engaging and very approachable. Also, he knew chem would be hard for many people so he tried to make the material covered in class as simple as possible. he even told us the questions from the textbook that may help with exam practice, which made the material tad bit easier.

Sanders is a great prof. He occasionally makes some mistakes when going through examples, which can be extremely confusing on certain topics, but in general, he explains the material clearly. He likes to crack jokes in class which can make the class easier to sit through.

Sanders was a great professor. He made lectures fun and concepts easier to understand by adding humor to his lectures. He was accessible outside of class and very friendly. He went through a lot of examples during lectures which was helpful.

Dr. Sanders has changed the way I look at chemistry. This was the second time I took Chem 112, had Brown the first time, and it was literally night and day difference!! He keeps the class entertaining and I would definitely recommend him for Chem 112! Also very approachable both inside and outside of the classroon

Jokes are kind of crude, but hilarious none the less. Don't need to take notes, just bring your textbook and a highlighter. Beware: if you leave class early, wave goodbye, or be taunted.

Comment:

Tough class but if you have a choice definitely take it with Sanders. Pretty funny guy and very easy to approach. Warning: if you have a high class average on the mid-term, they will make the final VERY difficult. Like, way harder than the practice finals you are given to study.

He is a mixture (ha, pun-intended) between funny and brilliant. His lectures are smooth and subtle. If you haven't taken his classes yet, you're missing out. I would recommend him ten times out of ten.
