Not terrible. Nice guy. There was a problem set every week and a quiz every friday and the quizzes didn't really relate to the homework like you would expect so it's hard to get a 100% on the quizzes. You can only get 50 points off to get an A and all the points that you get off from quizzes and tests add up. The exams are easy though.

landis is a nice guy and his lectures are somewhat interesting. In lecture he explained concepts well. Class concepts are easy but exams can be difficult. Expect to spend a lot of time on online homework. My TA was not the best. He was often unsure of how to do a problem and he was somewhat disorganized.

Compared to a lot of the chemistry department, he was pretty good. Tests were somewhat diffucult

Landis is a great chem professor compared to most. He makes lectures interesting, and does a lot of demos. Tests are definitely not easy, but if you do the practice exams and make sure you fully understand the concepts of every question you'll do alright. Your TA is extremely important as well! Jose L is amazing!

The best first year professor I've had. Great demonstrations. Many visual examples of chemistry in real life, and great use the iClickers. Just be over prepared for a test. Pretests do not predict how you will do on a test. If you can try to get Jose Laboy. Clearly the best TA!

Landis is a great professor. He used everyday situations to help you think about tough concepts in an easy way. Lectures are fairly interesting, and he makes great use of the iClicker. He is a very approachable, helpful person! Although the tests are not that easy. Strongly recommended, especially with Jose Laboy as your T.A. - he is the best.

He is an okay professor, but my TA really sucks. The TA could honestly care less and didn't even know how to solve problems let alone explain it. If you get Tyler, drop the class. UGHHH

Landis is a funny guy who makes sure to include lots of demos in class. However, I found that he over-complicated what was supposed to be an intro level class. The exams are all multiple choice, but relatively tricky. If I could pick another professor instead I would; I have heard friends of mine rave about other 103 professors.

Clark Landis is a god. Lectures are usually pretty interesting and the demos and concept tests are tied closely with exams. Online homework kind of sucks because it is pretty frustrating to use. Tests are very difficult but fair. If you have taken chem in high school you will be fine. Landis is helpful and makes General chem pretty interesting

Landis is a pretty good professor. Chem 103 in general is hard though. If you're taking 103 prepare to commit a ton of time to this class. Challenge problems are ridiculously hard, I suggest going to group sessions. Find other people in the class, use your TA for help, and ask questions..not an easy class! There is a large curve though!

Good teacher

Landis is a very engaging professor and gives you more than enough information to do well in the class. Exams were on the difficult side, but were balanced with a generous curve. One tip, use his office hours. My TA was less than helpful. Fairly easy class if you are willing to put in the time.

Sounds like squidward so its hard to pay attention becasue you spend the whole class thinking about spongebob

He was a really good professor and as long as you put in the effort you will do well with him.

Chem 103 is a lot of work, but as long as you keep up with the work you'll do fine. Landis was a great prof, very easy to understand and made lecture interesting with demos. All exams were multiple choice. Friends with other professors said their exams were written and much harder. Take this class with Landis.

Awesome professor! Very thorough and helps answer questions. Exams were very difficult for a general chem class.

Prof. Landis is a great, upbeat guy. He's really good at teaching you what you need to know, and keeps his lectures engaging with plenty of pertinent demos. Compared to what I've heard about other professors for chem 103, Landis is a breath of fresh air!

Landis is a nice guy. He works hard to keep lectures interesting and is pretty funny too. The class itself has a lot of work in it, including labs, weekly problem sets, and take home tests. This class will eat up a lot of your time but as long as you put the work in you will be fine. The exams can be hard but are fair.

He is the BEST professor I've ever had at the UW. His lectures are crystal clear and he uses lots of examples to get his point across. He is incredibly helpful in office hours. His tests are sort of challenging, but if you pay attention in lecture and read the book you're fine. Weekly HW is easy and a grade booster. Great, clear prof.

He was the best lecturer I've had so far. He has a good personality. I also almost never read the textbook. Between lecture and the online homework, I learned everything. There were multiple choice (in class) and written (take home) exams. The written exams are difficult but you can do them with as many other students as you wish.

Landis is the best professor to have for 103! Makes lectures fun and engaging. This class is an easy A - in class exams are fairly easy and the take home portions are group projects. Online homework is time consuming, but easy. Received an A in his class without purchasing the textbook, because his lectures helped so much. No better chem professor.

Phenomenal teacher! Would highly recommend taking his class!

Amazing professor! I would recommend him to anyone. Although he does go at a slower pace, so if you already feel as if you have a good strong chemistry base you can leave this professor to those that need him :)

Take home tests were a little lengthy, but you can work with groups so they are not too bad. In class exams are multiple choice and easy, if you put your time in, you should manage an A with Landis no problem. Would recommend for the easiness, but beware of the take home tests they can be time consuming, but not overly difficult.

I <3 Clark Landis! His lecture notes were wonderful and is an entertaining lecturer. Multiple choice exams aren't bad if you study. He's a great, straightforward professor.

Great professor, entertaining lectures. The TAs are the issues with this class.

Landis is the best! He explains things very simplistically and if you don't understand he's very helpful during office hours. This class isn't hard but I'm still learning so much

He is a great professor! I hated chemistry before, but he made me love chemistry! By the way, he taught the lecture in an interesting way.

makes chemistry more interesting. as with any chem 103 it's not a light workload, but i would definitely recommend taking it with landis. lectures are mandatory unless you don't want the iclicker points. online hw is scored based on a 100 point total, regardless of how many points are included on the assignment (100/150=100%)

The class is great! The instructor keeps it interesting throughout the entire semester and makes it fun at times too.The problem with this class is that the TA's are terrible. Not all of them are bad, but a few should no longer be teaching anymore. They will hurt your grade somewhat.

He's aware that he mostly teaches freshmen and gears his class toward gradually introducing them to college level education. Great lecturer and pretty straight forward exams.

His lectures are kind of boring and he's somewhat abstract, but he's not a bad teacher. He knows what he's talking about. It's a bummer that our tests are divided into two weeks and the multiple choice screw you over if you get a few wrong because they're only 15 questions long. I just hope I make it through this semester with an AB.

Landis is a very difficult professor and assigned much more work than every other professor. Multiple choice tests are very hard to get an A. Does not curve class.

Landis is a good lecturer; however, the material in Chem 104 is extremely tough. He gives 2 exams/midterm, one multiple choice and a short answer. To get a good grade in this course, you must be ready to work extremely hard. It doesn't help that Landis doesn't follow the book very closely.

Clark cares about his students' success more than people realize. He is willing to offer help and curve tests that might have been unfair or too abstract. That being said, there are many errors on exams that should definitely be fixed. That aspect of the class was very frustrating.

This class was a whirlwind of extra material that no other classes had to do. He tried to connect concepts with real life examples, but this often took valuable lecture time away from learning the testable material. 6 tough exams, several problem sets (they suck) , homework and extra labs.. no thanks. The final was easy though.

Had unpredictable tests, some were way too hard, and others too easy. Really tries to help students learn the material well

Don't listen to other comments posted here. Clark is a fine professor. Exams are easy and are based around content. If you go over the clicker questions and practice exams you are guaranteed to get at least a B. You may have more labs but have no formal reports and the extra labs are really easy. As long as you understand content you'll be fine.

I thoroughly enjoyed Prof. Landis' class. He uses overarching themes that kept me engaged. There are a lot of tests and labs, but they are easy. Be prepared for no math (I'm looking at you engineers).

He definitely cares about his students more than research. He gives 6 exams, 3 multiple choice and 3 short answer. The multiple choice exams are very easy and he often uses the same questions used on the practice exams. There is no curve, but an A is achievable if you study 5hr/wk. (Don't procrastinate!) The final was worth 15% and not difficult.

Like most people have said, 6 exams and no weeks off for lab. He rambles a lot on subjects that do not relate at all to what we are tested on and asks us what we want to learn during the exam review and not what we should be learning. Very unclear grading scale because he said it was not a curved class but my grade probably reflected a curve.

Clark catches a lot of flack for his six exams and the additional labs he gives. The labs are easy and the six tests are basically just three tests with a break between them. He seemed genuinely interested in helping students and offers a lot of chances to get a good grade. Work hard and you should be fine.

I was late for the final and he let me come in later to take it.

Professor Landis is a great professor and an even better person. He is very understanding and accessible. He has a bad rap for his course structure from the past but with the new reach program it is the same as any other chem 104 class, no extra tests or labs. You have to work hard but he is fair and explains things very well in class.

The tests are very easy to follow and he is great at explaining things. He makes lectures interactive and personable. Even though it's a large lecture, he makes it personal and helps people out on tough questions. Attendance is mandatory because of top hat questions in class (which can be done from home but sometimes they do random ones)

Clark Landis is the most wholesome professor that I have ever met.

Professor Landis is a great professor. He is knowledgeable, engaging and patient. Workload is acceptable and useful. Not a tough grader at all and he will give feedback to students if he is grading the exam.

Landis is one of the most caring and knowledgeable professors for chem 104. His lectures are not focused on tophat questions, but more on making sure you learn the basics for the harder problems outside of class. I also felt that his exams were very fair and he never put questions that were almost trick questions.

Clark Landis is best professor you can have for Chem 104. I thought his lectures were extremely clear and his tests were fair. The practice exams were helpful when preparing for the exams. I believe the averages on exams were the highest among all of the professor. Highly recommend him for Gen Chem.

Hes such a great professor who really cares about his students success. He uses TopHat a lot but he goes into the seats and talks it out with students and helps them understand the content. His tests were super easy (almost identical to the practice exams). 100% loved him

This class is difficult, and a lot of work. However, Clark Landis is a good professor, with clear lectures and lots of outside availability. He obviously cares about the students, and although the grading is poorly constructed, he is fairly forgiving and lenient.

Clark is wonderful I miss him. He made chem 104 easy to understand and extremely fair. By far the best 104 professor at Madison. I got an A while my friends with other professors got Bs because he made material clear and fair. Really cares about our understanding too
