Awesome
Professor Bernt is by far one of my favorite professor I've ever taken at University of California Santa Barbara. He really made me love Chemistry again. He's a great lecturer and gave out fair tests. That being side, the content of those tests can be tricky. However, he always does his best to make sure we understand it. Aside from that, he's very approachable in his office hours too. Take his class if you can.

Average
Prof. Christopher really tries his best with lecturing and he can actually make you laugh. He's very sweet and he even gave everyone candy for Halloween. I suggest you talk to him during office hours because his explanations were clearer. Also, please read the textbook! It would help to read before and after lecture. Do the book problems as well because they're more similar to the exams than the practice test.

Good
I've been told he hardly ever hands out A+'s. I did really good on both the midterms and quizzes, but I still only got an A. The tests aren't tough at all if you do the practice exams twice and do understand the lectures.
