I really would have rather taken any class on this campus before ever thinking about taking Chemistry again after high school. Professor Gengenbach is a GREAT professor for the chemistry dept. He WILL help you, and I encourage anyone to go see him in his office for help if you do not get the subject matter in lecture. He REALLY helps!!!
Alan is a cool prof to have especially for chem. you can tell he tries really hard to make the lectures as interesting as possible. the labs aren't that bad, long but easy for the most part. however his exams are tough, i had a tutor and worked my butt of and ended up with a 5 credit c, ouch!!

Dr. Gengenbach is pretty hard, you are expected to memorize alot of concepts and keep them all straight. He covers alot of information in lectures so you shouldn't miss them cause if you do you are out of the loop for the concept that was taught. If you need help def. go to his office hrs. he is very helpful one on one
The class itself was pretty boring but you can't expect much from inorganic chem. The tests and quizzes seemed more difficult than they needed to be. He didn't just expect us to remember the basic concepts but every minute detail of those concepts.
