To the last person: Take Dr. Mac if you need your hand held. Take Dr. Kautz if you want to learn something.

Great...I've had both Mac and Kautz. They have very different teaching styles. Both are good, but I would take Kautz again if I had a choice.

amazing

hate chemistry, thought kautz did an amazing job. incredibly helpful and does a lot of study time help.

Chem Jamm! This guy actually take time out of work to go through everything that could possibly be on the test. This professor rocks.

he helps you a lot if you go the to resource center

He is very helpful if you go into the resource center.

Don't skip class, you'll miss alot. Go to office hours, they are a big help!

I was nervous bout taking this class but it really wasn't bad at all. Kautz is an amazing teacher, he makes everything very clear and easy. He gives alot of extra credit too! :) the majority of our class got an A

Dr. Kautz is great. He is willing to help you whenever you need. He is very easy to talk to.

I have been lucky enough to get to know Dr. Kautz as a friend. He cares very much about the progress of his students and where they are going in life. You always know where you stand with Dr. Kautz. Sometimes it seems like he is tough on people, but really, he just wants to push them to do well. I could not ask for more from a professor.

Dr. Kautz is generally lovable. I love his lectures, he made Chemistry easy and much more fun.

Dr. Kautz's great and always willing to help!!!

Dr. Kautz is AWESOME!

He is a good teacher is a stupid subject

Kautz does an amazing job teaching this class. You can print of the online slides for every lecture and follow along. His review session, Chem Jamm is amazing, but you better get there early. If you can't pass this class with Kautz, you will have trouble passing it period.

He is much better than the other chem professors!

He knows chem 109 forwards, backwards, up, and down, which makes him a very helpful and efficient professor. Furthermore, he is NOT a boring professor by any means, and you never know when he is gonna throw in some extra credit points! ;)

Dr. Kautz is awesome! if you have a chance, get in to his class first. If you need help with anything go in and he's willing to help and youll for sure pass the course with a little effort.

Very, very good teacher. Keeps lectures somewhat interesting. do not skip class. use your book and keep up with practice problems and you will do well.

Dr. Kautz is amazing! He knows his stuff and his lecture powerpoint slides are as gorgeous as he is! Dr. Kautz goes above and beyond what is required and/or expected of a professor. His hours of dedication to this class are appreciated more than he knows! Take this professor, he will change your perspective on large lecture classes!

His tests were straightforward. He explains a difficult subject well, but it does require quite a bit of outside studying. He is very helpful, and does review sessions before every test.

He tells you what you need to know and he actually puts forth the effort to help you. The review sessions are amazing go to them and you will be fine on the tests.

Peppers all around for this gorgeous man!

I took Dr. Kautz for 109 and 110 and I highly recommend him. He is in the top 3 of teachers I have ever had. He makes difficult material simple, will go out of his way to answer your ?s, and he prepares you well for the tests. You do have to put in your part, but honestly, having a professor who cares so much makes doing work for his class easy.

Good teacher. He really cares about each student and does cool stuff in class. He also writes all the exams for the chemistry dept. so its really helpful to have him. Great powerpoints that supplement the text, not reiterate it.

great instructor. Has detailed notes and explains things well. Easy to understands and simplify's material. Keeps the students entertained during lecture. He writes most of the test and is striaght forward with what we will be tested over.

I really enjoy his classes. He mixes just enough fun to keep us interested, but he's still all about teaching us.

I was fortunate to have Dr. Kautz for both 109 and 110. He is by far the best professor I've had in college. Chemistry is not a difficult class, but it sure isn't easy. But Kautz breaks down everything so that it is easy to understand. If you aren't doing well in his class, its your fault. Not his. Great professor!!!!!

He's an amazing teacher - he really wants you to succeed/ understand... and takes the time to do that.

Kautz knows his stuff well. I hate chemistry but he presented it well enough for me to get an A. He does plenty of example problems. It will require a lot of studying outside of class, but if you put in the effort and go to the review sessions then it's a breeze.

Dr. Kautz is an amazing teacher. He gives plenty of examples when teaching and gets the whole class to understand. His test reviews are jammed packed, many get there an hour before he teaches.

Intelligent professor definitely knows his stuff. Sometimes comes to class and seems mean or irritated but actually really wants you to succeed. His seems like a nice guy though and hard to see him in his office hours.

Dr. Kautz definitely understands the material that he teaches and explains it pretty well. He can come off as arrogant frequently, but overall a good teacher.

Great professor. Clear, knowledgeable, entertaining. He does reviews before every test and they are always packed with students from every section. Sometimes you have to go an hour early just to get a seat. I wish all college professors were as good as Dr. Kautz.

Great Professor who enjoys what he is doing. As long as you go to class everyday you will do very well in this class because he makes it easy to understand.

Doctor Kautz is a wonderful professor, and his lectures can be, at times, entertaining. He will gladly help his students even if it takes up his own time.

he rules

Everything made sense that he said. Best chem teacher on campus in my book.

Awesome guy. He uses a lot of theory so if you're more math oriented like I am Hartung may be the guy for you. Get to know him and it will pay off. He's really cool and may even raise your grade.

Prof Kautz is one of the most dedicated and hardworking professors I have ever met. He wants every student to succeed. Chem is a hard subject in itself, but I couldn't imagine taking it with anyone else.

Very good general chemistry teacher. Easy to understand, and kept lectures interesting enough to keep my attention.

He is so much fun!!!! Explosions all the time he makes class so fun to go to and he is really good teacher!!

Best intro to chem teacher on campus

I loved Dr. Kautz! I am specifically choosing to have him again next semester. He's very enthusiastic about what he's teaching and is legitimately concerned about his students. Very helpful. His tests aren't easy (I got a 65 on my first), but once you know how to study for them they aren't bad--I got a 91 on the second test.

Best chem teacher at UNL! I would also say best instructor I've had to date (3.5 years at UNL). If you have the option choose him! You won't regret it. He obviously cares about his students and does everything he can to ensure they succeed. He does an excellent job preparing you for exams and is very helpful with questions outside of class.

Kautz is the best chem teacher on campus. He mainly teaches concepts in class and leaves the math to your recitation but he does a great job. Also he lets you know exactly what will be on the class and what you need to study.

He is an awesome professor. He explains things in very clear ways. He is very funny, too! Should take his class!

Dr. Kautz is one of the best professors ever. I had a good understanding of chemistry from high school, but I was still scared for the college level. Luckily I got Dr. Kautz and I was perfectly fine. He thoroughly explains everything and is super knowledgeable. I recommend him to everyone! He doesn't hold your hand but helps you understand. :)

Really conceptual teacher. Great to have because he (or his TA's) write the majority of the exams. If you pay attention, he will give you all the answers you need, plus he usually gives a good amount of extra credit

Dr. Kautz makes a tough subject like Chemistry easy. There is no excuse for failure other than not trying hard enough in this class. Kautz writes the majority of the tests so paying attention and attending class is recommended. Best Chem teacher on campus!

Dr. Kautz is the best gen chem professor at UNL. He explains things very well in lecture.

Kautz is very helpful and if you go into his office for help, he is always willing to do his best to help you.

Kautz is, by far, the best gen chem professor at UNL.

Dr. Kautz is the man. He went out of his way to relate to me and communicate with me outside of class. We have hungout multiple times off campus. If you have the choice, take his course.

Dr. Kautz is one of the best professors that I have had so far. He explains things thoroughly and in a way that makes things easy to understand. I would highly recommend anyone to take a class with Dr. Kautz.

Best professor in chem dept hands down

The Greatest of All Time

Couldn't have asked for a better professor for my first chemistry class!

I really like Dr. Kautz as a teacher, he's very clear and uses great examples. Seems unapproachable at first but is actually a softy if you go talk to him! This class was tough as hell but I'm taking him again for Chem 110 next semester.

He's a very dynamic lecturer. I didn't use the book more than 3 times. It's not an easy class but if you take good notes and work through the homework, you'll do well

Clear lectures and great examples. Show up to class, read the book, practice book problems and you'll get an A.

Kautz is explains things very clear and tells you what to do for the tests (which is doing practice problems and going to lecture). Chemistry at UNL isn't easy but he explains concepts well.

Jason Kautz is Amazing. Also hint always go to him after tests, he'll help explain what you did wrong. Amazing guy who i know must be very busy already but makes time for students!

Dr. Kautz is the man! He is very helpful and easy to talk to. Best CHEM 109 and CHEM 110 teacher in my opinion.

Pretty good teacher, but can be a sensitive nerd about things like yik yak posts. Probably second best in the chem. department behind low-key chill Hartung if you're deciding who to pick.

With respect to Dr. Hartung and Dr. Malina, there is no question the the best teacher in the UNL Department of Chemistry is Dr. Kautz, by a mile.

Dr. Kautz is an amazing teacher. Makes a 200 student lecture hall bearable. Goes through variations of test problems before the exam. Reviews material if there is time. Gives online help lectures and practice problems. Always available at office hours. Tests are hard but easy if you practice.

By far the best lecturer in the Chemistry Department. He takes so much extra time outside of lecture to ensure that his students understand the material. If you have the option, choose Kautz!!!

Malina is a great professor. He knows what he's teaching, and he gives you every opportunity to use your resources and pass. He was injured (majorly) this semester and still made time to help us out during office hours. Use him as your resource. Beware, the practice exams are NOTHING like the real thing. Study everything.

Keeps you awake during lecture, by far the most helpful and available professors I've had. He wants you to succeed and gives you the tools to do so.

I loved having Dr. Kautz as a CHEM109 teacher. Everyone in CHEM109 takes the same tests even if you have different professors, so it is not like his actual tests are hard. From talking to others, Kautz usually averages the highest test scores. He is tough, but he prepares you well. I would recommend him a 100 times over. Great professor!

Kautz gives lots of review material and covers everything in his lectures. He is very clear.

He gave wonderful lectures and also made the time to have office ours and make online videos to go over difficult problems! Chemistry is tough but he makes in very tolerable.

Kautz was great to have as a professor. He was always willing to help individuals if you have questions. The final is a standardized test so it was easier than the midterms. The class is tough, but if you understand concepts you will be fine.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Gives great examples in class which is why class is very important. Great guy outside of class as well.

Kautz made chem 109 come to life for me. Every topic covered is something you can expect to see on the exam, there are no suprises. Has extremely beneficial virtual office hours that give more good practice. To the point and very helpful. Great lecturer, always understood concepts I had previously had trouble with in the textbook.

One of the better teachers I've ever had! Definitely the best Chem professor out there. His classes fill up fast. If you can get Kautz you would be crazy to take some other teachers class.

Kautz is the best professor I've had at UNL. I had a different professor for 109 and Kautz made him look like an idiot once I took his class for 110. He really knows what he is talking about and I would advise anyone to take his class. He uploads videos explaining every topic that is going to be on the upcoming exam in the few weeks preceding.

I really liked his teaching style

Dr. Kautz is the best professor I have had at UNL so far. The tests are difficult but his lectures and virtual office hours are extremely helpful. He makes chemistry bearable and is an outstanding teacher.

The legendary Dr. Kautz lives up to his name as the "Jordan Belfort/Dan Bilzerian" of the chemistry department. Great lecturer who cares about his students. His teaching style can't be any better. That being said, don't be surprised when he sleeps with your girl and then tries to help you find the guy who did it. He's that cool.

Kautz is easily the best teacher for gen chem. I had a different teacher for 109, and coming to Kautz 2nd semester was a relief. He explains things very clearly, doesn't talk so fast you can't handwrite your notes, and posts online office hour sessions with worksheets you can do if you need more help. Try to get him for both 109 and 110.

Definitely a great chem teacher, go to class, pay attention, do the self quizzes at the end of the chapters, and you should do well. Don't be fooled, you will have to work for it but he gives you all the resources you need to succeed if you use them.

Kautz is by far one of my favorite professors thus far at UNL. The class is tough, but he provides everything you'll need to study up and do well. There's 4 tests that average 70% and a scaled final with a free 60/160 pts. Recitation manual, study guides, and last years' exams are posted on blackboard and his virtual office hours are really great

There's no way around, chemistry sucks any way you slice it. Make the best of a bad situation and definitely take it with Dr. Kautz because he's a chem wizard and a very good lecturer. He tries to break things down to make things clear for you. 109 and 110 are the hardest classes I've ever taken, but Dr. Kautz does his best to make it not so bad.

Chem 109/110 are challenging no matter what but Dr. Kautz makes it bearable. He gives meaningful lectures and tools to help you succeed but you also have to put in a lot of work outside of class. If you read the text book and do the recitation manual, you will be fine. Great professor and he cares about his students!

Awesome professor, explains things clearly, step by step. He takes time to give enough resources for students to study. After getting 40 points for clicker questions gives you the ability to skip class , or attend a different lecture, I still wouldn't do it, his lectures are amazing and you would miss out a lot if you don't go

He's the best professor I've had so far. He writes the test for the whole general chemistry department, so he knows his stuff and he knows what will be on the tests. If you listen in lectures and actually read the text book, it'll be an easy A. If you just attend the lectures, it'll be a little tougher

Dr. Kautz is a great prof. he really cares about chemistry and teaching it. He posts online office hours for students to access at any point in the semester, which are super helpful. While attendance isn't mandatory if you don't go, you won't do well.

Kautz is a hands down the best professor for chemistry at UNL. He's caring and will help out whenever he can.

He is a great Chemistry professor. I really appreciate how he does not oversimplify concepts so that those taking higher level chem classes later can keep applying concepts he has taught. Not that difficult of a class if you pay attention.

Chemistry sucks, no matter what, but Kautz at least made lectures bearable. He did cool experiments, broke things down, and helped us review for exams. There were 4 total exams, and 1 final exam! If you have to take chem, take it with Kautz.

Jason Kautz definitely knows and cares about what he is talking about. He also breaks everything down to an understandable level in lecture. If you put in a little bit of effort you can definitely get a B and probable an A. He is very easy to reach and has virtual office hours that really benefit students. 10/10

I had him in 109 and made sure I had him for 110 because he's the best. HIS VIRTUAL OFFICE HOURS WILL SAVE YOUR LIVES.

I do really Dr. Kautz. He's probably the best lecturer. He always put his notes online after each lecture and those are really helpful if you were skipping the lecture. His online virtual offices are helpful (those are similar to khan academy).

Dr. Kautz is one of the professors I've ever had. I came into Chem 109/110 with no chemistry experience at all and excelled because of him. Overall, the class isn't that difficult you just need the drive to do the work. If you do that, you'll get the grade you desire.

Great guy providing just about everything you needed in this level of course

Kautz is great. Makes information concise and comprehensible. He makes the tests for the whole 110 dept, and he reviews with you and drops hints of what will be on the test. Take advantage of virtual office hours. Go to class. Difficult to get in contact with him, but chem resource center helps a ton! Chem is hard, but Kautz makes it easier.

Thousands of kids take this class so it is very structured. I'm pretty sure Kautz is in charge of the whole ship. He will be honest with you and tell you what you need to know and what you don't. Lots of people struggle with the exams in the class but there are enough other grades that you should be ok as long you do the weekly online homework.

I don't feel like I would understand/pass CHEM109 if I didn't take it with Dr. Kautz. He is amazing and tells you exactly what you need to know. He explains everything in an easy to understand way and tries to keep the class entertained. Make sure to do well in lab, online homework, and clicker Q's bc those are easy points to bump your grade.

Great professor really helps students manage the course load this class entails.

Dr. Kautz was a good professor for an introductory chemistry course. The tests were hard if you didn't study a lot for them, but he raises your lowest test grade to help cushion your final semester grade. The online homework was pretty easy because most of the problems were very similar to the ones in the text book.

Dr. Kautz is the professor to have for Chem. He is very knowledgable about everything chemistry! There is weekly online homework, labs, and optional recitation. His lectures get very full so get to class early! The tests are difficult if you don't study hard for them. Go to class, study everyday for chem, do the homework and understand the material

Dr. Kautz is a quality professor. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to chem. During lectures, he covers the math concepts extremely well. He works through a lot of examples. However, conceptual pieces were rarely covered in class, so I had to teach myself before the exams. Overall, I learned a lot from Dr. Kautz. He is a great prof.

Kautz was one of my favorite profs, easily. True, there were a lot of clicker Qs and you need to learn concept stuff through the pwpts b/c he does the math in lecture. Work on chem a little every day, take notes outside of class, participate and do the HW. Kautz is so smart and the way he taught made me interested in it. Tbh I had a teacher crush.

Chem 110 is a difficult class that definitely requires studying however Dr. Kautz does a great job explaining the core concepts and his explanations make the class much easier. Kautz is a great professor who is clearly passionate about his work.

Professor Kautz is hands down the best professor I have ever had. I really hate chemistry but he made both 109 and 110 interesting and, at times, fun classes. He makes sure you know everything that will be on the exams, and does plenty of examples in class. His demonstrations are amazing, and you can tell he really has a passion for what he does.

This class does require reading, doing homework, and going to class! Kautz is very enthusiastic about what he's doing. He explains examples in detail, which helped me understand some difficult material. Overall, I am very happy with who I chose as a professor and will be taking him again for Chem 110!

Kautz is easily the best chemistry professor. He knows what he is talking about, and he can communicate it very well to everyone. He relies on clickers a lot and that means that if the class really doesn't understand a topic, he goes more in-depth on that topic so that everyone gets it.

Dr. Kautz is really knowledgable Professor. Exams are bit hard but if you go to lectures regularly then it is fine. He even records his lectures.

If you learn my seeing examples, Dr. Kautz is absolutely amazing. As long as you attend ALL lectures, you should be set for 80% of the exam, the other fraction is theory, but I would just skim through the textbook right before the exams and did fine on them.

Dr. Kautz is one of the best lecturers at UNL. He is who you need to take for general chemistry as he is the best chance you have at actually understanding the concepts. With that said, utilize other resources for one on one help. He is terrible one on one and will come across as if he doesn't care and that you're wasting his time.

great professor

Professor Kautz is by far the best professor for Chem 109. Take his class if you can. Very lecture heavy but provides clear, accurate representation of the course information, and teaches exactly what will be on tests. The downside: he is not very helpful outside of class. However, all the TAs and the science resource center are avaliable to help.

Kautz is a good professor, but he looks at you as a number rather than a student. The class isn't super hard as long as you put the effort in. Your grade is a direct representation of hom much of yourself you put into the class. But overall is a great professor and teaches everything that will be on the exams.

Dr. Kautz was an amazing professor. He knows the content inside and out and makes sure that you understand different ways of application of the content. He is always available during office hours and I would recommend paying attention during lectures as he goes over many examples. Also, if you happen to miss a class, he always records the lecture.

After a miserable CHEM 109 experience I wasn't looking forward to 110 but Kautz made the class manageable and interesting. His lecture style was great, lots of practice problems and TA help during lectures, and was also very good at making sense and explaining complex problems and what not. Overall probably the best chem prof at UNL, 100% recommend

He can be very short with students when they have questions. You are better off going to a TA. He gets behind on answering emails so don't bother contacting him. When students don't do well on exam, he won't take the credit for a poorly written test. He wouldn't be my first choice of teachers, but was the best for what was available.

I really don't like chemistry but I found kautz to be a great professor. He clearly knows the content extremely well and incorporates a ton of practice problems into lectures, which was always helpful. He made the class easier to understand and fairly interesting. He is probably the best chem prof at UNL and would definitely recommend for gen chem

Dr. Kautz is a GREAT professor. He explains things very well and his example problems help prepare you for the test questions. His multiple choice problems can be a little bit tricky, but if you pay attention in class and read the book you will do well on the tests.

Dr. Kautz is, in my opinion, the best chemistry professor at UNL. If you have him, you are guaranteed a good education in chemistry. He is an amazing professor and cares about his student's wellbeing.

Professor Kautz in my experience was a really good chemistry professor. During lectures, he would work out problems for students and even do experiments that are related to the material. He does a good job of telling you what objectives you will be tested over on the exams.

Kautz is a great professor. He really knows what he's teaching and wants us to learn it. He did go on a spiel about people complaining about his teaching, but I am not sure what they expect of him. He showed the receipts and taught everything that was on the exam with examples. Paying attention during lectures and going over notes is necessary.

I took CHEM109 with Kautz in the fall of 2019, and I think I had a much different experience than what many people are describing now that COVID-19 has changed the landscape of education. He was one of the most clear, easy to understand professors I've ever had when I took his class, and I'm sure he will learn to adjust to these new times soon!

Amazing professor, really cares about students. His lectures are easy to stay focused in and they're actually interesting. All of the homework and quizzes definitely prepare you for the test.

Kautz is a good professor for CHEM 109. It's definitely a hard class and you have to work for your grade. He explains and does everything he can to get his students where they need to be. I highly encourage reading and doing practice problems in the back of your book for exams!!

Chem 109 is fairly manageable and Dr. Kautz gives you all the information you need for your tests in his lectures!!! So the best way to study is to rewatch those lectures and do practice problems!!!

I had Kautz as a freshman during covid. All of the lectures were moved to zoom and he did the best out of any of my other professors. His office hours are life saving and he is open to answering and explaining any questions during that time (take advantage and have questions/topics ready). Overall really enjoyed the class.

I LOVE HIM!! Obviously, it's a chem class so easy wouldn't be the word I would use, however, he encourages his students (even online!) He wanted us to do well, and that is super important to me. He is so understanding if there is a conflict and will curve tests based on the average. Before every test would send out a good luck email. so sweet.

Amazing professor and he really wants to give everyone the best resources to pass his class. If you fail chem 109 with Kautz switch your major.

Dr. Kautz is arguably one of the best professors at UNL. He knows exactly what he's doing and is amazing at explaining complex concepts in a way that's easy to understand. If you watch the lectures and keep up with the homework (there's not too much), chem 109 will be pretty easy :)

I had Kautz for Chem 109 and he was very good at explaining the material that we were learning in class. He had a lot of clicker questions that helped you make sure that you have mastered the material and they are for points in the gradebook although you only need 50 and he does way more than 50 clicker questions. I loved having him as a professor.

Kautz is an amazing professor and really cares about his students. He teaches with passion and did a great job of adjusting everything to an online learning format.

Kautz did a great job transferring onto online learning and is very passionate about chemistry. His TA's also do a great job of helping out outside of class and making exams less stressful. He also had 7 exams (every other week) and dropped one. Definitely the best CHEM teacher at UNL

Kautz is a great professor. Had him for both 109 & 110 and would 100% recommend. His lectures explain concepts super well and there are tons of materials given to you to help you in the class. He goes over tough problems in office hours and is very accommodating and will sometimes throw in extra credit points for exams. NEVER post exams on Chegg.

Had Dr. Kautz for both 109 and 110. He does a great job! I highly recommend him! His tests are a lot like the review sheets and quizzes. Go to recitation and do your homework. If you do that, you will do just fine! If you are good at math, you'll will do great!

Dr. Kautz is an amazing professor. The material is really difficult, but he teaches it well and you can tell he actually cares about his students. He scales the exams and is very fair. The exams in chem 109 matched what we learned in class perfectly, and in chem 110 it did most of the time. 10/10 recommend taking him for both those classes.

He was a good chemistry professor. The tests were open note and consistently the same time every other week. He was also lenient about letting you take it at a different time if you had conflicts regularly.

Dr Kautz is a probably one of the best professors at UNL. He does lots of demonstrations and explains things really well to get you to understand hard topics. I will be taking him again for CHEM 110

He cares about his students, wants you to learn and be successful. Homework due on Wednesdays with exams every other week gives fair scales and not too difficult of content In 109 & 110.

The exams were a little unfair because I took this course during Covid therefore there were no partial credit, however, he does skills exams so that makes up for it.

He's a very good professor, makes class fun and exciting.

Kautz is a great professor and does a great job explaining concepts and going over the problems we do in class. How you do in this class is up to you; if you work hard you will do great. If you don't go to class and don't care, you will struggle.

He is for sure the best professor for the class, but still goes pretty quick in lecture. Very very test heavy, test are the only thing that matter in this class basically. 5 tests in the semester and would recommend spending a lot of time studying.

This class is not hard if you go to lectures. The lectures also quite informative and sometimes they are very cool. Reading the textbook also really helped. The textbook goes almost hand-in-hand with the material you learn in the class. Don't skip class because you will be very confused the next day. If you put in the work, you'll get an A.

Kautz makes the material easy to understand and keeps your attention in lectures. He formats his lecture slides to be easy to follow and take notes on. He is very respected and easy to find help outside of class.

Dr. Kautz is legitimately one of best professors I've had so far in two semesters here. He exemplifies the philosophy of making classwork fair, as well as rewarding those who work for it. Those who are not willing to work for a good grade will not do well in either Chem 109 or Chem 110.

Kautz is probably one of the best professors I've ever had-- he is an awesome guy, very dedicated and thoughtful. He makes sure you are well prepared for all exams and provides ample resources for you to succeed. 110 isn't an easy class, but if you but in the effort, you'll do well. 100% take Kautz if you can (Malina is another great option).

Jason Kautz is easily the most compassionate professor I have ever had. Along with managing a difficult schedule, he makes the time for individual help. The class is not easy, but Kautz is a great resource for extra help.

Kautz is hands down one of the best professors I've ever had. He cares about his students and puts in so much extra time to ensure they have the maximum amount of resources available to ensure they succeed. His lectures are engagement-based and are probably the only lectures I attend that aren't a waste of my time. Take Kautz for Chem 109/110.

Helpful, understanding, charismatic, and adaptable to student needs.

Kautz is a really down to earth professor, he understands that we actually find this material difficult and seems to try his best to help how he can. He is really approachable, funny, and a cool guy. I found the lectures to be quite boring but I guess it's hard to avoid that while teaching Chem. Out of all the gen chem profs you should def take him

Dr. Kautz is genuinely one of the best professors I have had. He sets his students up for success and explains concepts in a way that will make it easier to understand. He is always willing to give back points on exams if you actually have the correct work done and the TA's just messed up the grading. He is very kind and cracks jokes sometimes

Dr. Kautz is the best and most caring professor that I have had and probably will ever have. He genuinely cares about every single student that he has and wants to see you succeed. He puts in extra of his own time to record extra practice problems weekly to help students. If you put in the work and go to lectures you will do very well in this class

Literally the best teacher ever. He cares so much and even posts on Instagram about lecture.

Dr. Kautz uses a less traditional style of lecturing, but it is actually highly effective. He uses PowerPoints and projectors to allow everyone in the lecture hall to see what he is lecturing about. He also cares about how you're doing in the class. Overall great professor! Would definitely take again!

Kautz is the best professor I have had so far. He cares about his students so much and is willing to go that extra mile for everyone. He gives great lectures that line up exactly with the exams. For the final, he posted videos of each topic that helped immensely to do well. If you go to every class and pay attention, you can easily get a good grade

He really cares about his students because he spends his time outside of class to message us "good luck" and also hosts study sessions during his office hours on Zoom! They really helped me prepare for multiple exams.

I don't think I would have done so well in this class if Dr. Kautz hadn't recorded countless review videos to help students study. He cares SO MUCH and will make sure you are in an optimal position for success. It's up to you to put in the extra work and study, but he will provide all the resources you need.

If you are taking gen chem 109 or 110, take Kautz!! He cares about his students and his method of teaching is extremely effective. He also helps a lot in creating the tests, so you usually learn a lot of extra helpful info in his lectures.

Through lectures, homework, and recitation curricula, Dr. Kautz provides everything a student could need to succeed in General Chemistry.

Dr. Kautz is one of the most caring professors I've had at UNL. I struggle with chem so I took the class P/NP and ended up passing. Def utilize Dr. Kautz and the resource center. They want to help you! Fair warning, exams make up 75% of your grade which kinda sucks. If chem is not your thing, def take with Dr. Kautz. He makes is enjoyable!

Professor Kautz really cares about his students, and he does what he can to help everyone succeed. It's a massive class though, so he can only do so much. The class is very test heavy, and the material is difficult, but there are a lot of helpful resources available on campus, and the TAs are happy to help as well.

Dr. Kautz is the best professor for Chem. He has the best lectures and is the head of the Chem department so listen to him when he discusses the tests. The tests make up 70% of your grade so make sure you study.

The class itself is difficult, but Kautz does a great job explaining things. Please study

Kautz is a great professor and has super engaging lectures. Gives you everything you need to succeed. This is the routine that worked for me - finish reading the unit a week before the test - rewrite notes - TA review sheet - practice test in recibook. Make sure you understand any wrong answers. Might not work for everyone, but thought I'd share.

Kautz is easily one of the best professors at UNL. He truly cares about his students. He takes his itime to email us good luck before exams. He has a big part in writing the tests, so pay attention to what he says in class and you will do great. His TAs are all great and are a vital resource if you are struggling in class.

Even though I struggled in this class, Kautz was still a great professor. The TAs are helpful, and his lectures are always super engaging. Showing up to class is important, but he still has recorded lectures. There is weekly homework, but if you take this class with Kautz, you'll enjoy it.

DK is an icon on campus. He made an otherwise scary chemistry class easy and fun to learn in. I was excited for every lecture. He is easily the best professor in the chem department. Attendance is mandatory, but it isn't super important to read the textbook. Just pay attention and take good notes.

Awesome

If you're going to take either CHEM 110, try to take it with Dr. Kautz. He provides multiple online videos of his office hours, review sessions, and lectures for those who don't focus as well during in-person lectures. Exams are VERY heavy in the grade book, but remember that one bad score can still get you a passing grade. TAs are also great.

Kautz is a great professor, and his lectures are really informative and helpful. Due to time restraints he isn't able to get to all of the information that he needs to in lecture. You gotta read the textbook outside of class or else you aren't going to do well.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Kautz for any chemistry class. He records lectures and posts online office hours to help students study for exams. The exam questions are similar to those, along with the homework, recitation, and clicker problems. As long as you study and participate adequately in class, you'll do great.

This class will be difficult no matter who you take it with, but if you have to take it, get Kautz. He really understands his material and is very passionate about chemistry and science as a whole. He posts recorded lectures and gives lots of resources during exam weeks. He really wants you to succeed. He's great, but you will have to work hard!

Dr. Kautz is absolutely the best professor to take general chemistry with. You will need to do a lot of reading and practice on your own, but combined with his lectures, you'll be fine if you put in the work. There are so many resources that Kautz gives you, including recorded lectures, the recitation workbook, office hours every week, and more!

One of the best professors I have had. He is a very skilled lecturer and cares about his students. If you didn't have a competent high school chemistry teacher, this class will be very difficult for you. However, a good grade in this class always felt attainable.

I took CHEM110 the semester that one of the other gen chem professors "disappeared." Kautz took over all of the other professor's classes for multiple weeks and scheduled in extra office hours just to help all of the students succeed during that difficult semester. One of the best professors I have had at UNL. He really cares about what he does.

He is a super caring professor. His lectures are great and he gives you lots of materials to help study for tests.

Very good

I would never in a million years take chem with any other professor. His lectures are engaging and actually cover what we need to know. You can tell he really cares about his students. The tests are very hard, but go to his office hours and the CRC!! It's definitely possible to get good grades in chem so don't get scared by what other people say :)

Dr. Kautz makes sure you understand deeper ideas throughout the course rather than relying directly on the lecture slides or textbook chapters (although those are both extremely helpful when studying). Pretty easy if you apply yourself and put in the work.

Personally, I find science classes, especially chemistry, challenging. However, Mr. Jason Kautz is an incredibly kind and respectful teacher. Don't hesitate to reach out to him through email or seek assistance; he genuinely cares about the success of each student. With Mr. Jason Kautz, if you're putting in the effort, he won't let you fall short.

Doctor Kautz somehow makes learning chemistry engaging and not incredibly difficult to learn. His demonstrations are great and he manages to bring in some humor every day. As long as you put in a little effort you'll do great.

I had Dr. Kautz for 109 and 110. Chem is not my strong suit but I don't think I would have passed if I had a different prof. You have to attend lectures or you will get behind. Tests are really hard and require a lot of studying. He provides a lot of study material and it's really helpful. If you are struggling take the extra help opportunities!

Professor Kautz really cares about the success of his students and it shows. He is always posting content to help out students and is clear about the criteria for the tests. If you put the work into this class you will get a good grade!

I enjoyed Kautz, I didn't think there was anything particularly special about him, but he was good at making you feel valued and like he was invested in each student passing the class, if you put in the work. Low-key celebrity status on campus, overall great prof, but don't think you don't have to put in effort.

Kautz is a good professor, I just tend to struggle in Chemistry. Exams are a big part of this class and require a lot of studying.

The undisputed King of UNL Gen Chem. Lectures were well worth attending, very informational and lots of practice problems were done. Also follow his Instagram, before exams he will host Q&A sessions and sometime give hints to test questions. My advice for the course is to work through the reci manual, get good at those problems and you'll do well.

Chem 110 was a hard class for me personally but Dr. Kautz is simply one of the best. I don't think I would've passed with other professors. Dr. Kautz is very clear with his lectures and he deeply cares about every student. He can be very intense at times but this helps you realize just how passionate he is about the subject.

Kautz is a dedicated professor who really cares about student success. The classes are challenging, but worth the effort - just be sure to attend lectures, use the provided study materials, and consider tools like Unstuck ai to help prepare. Tough but rewarding overall.

Best gen chem prof to get at UNL, he writes the tests so they are very similar to how he teaches. When I took it, the last test's average score was pretty low compared to the other tests, so he gave an extra credit assignment to make up for it. He uses his Instagram as a mini-review session so be sure to watch that.

He gives a ton of resources to study with, oftentimes pulling questions from the resources to put on the test.

Although I didn't do so well in the class, that was purely my own fault - I was a freshman in my first term and didn't know how to do college haha, but Kautz is lowkey the goad. He is the head of the chemistry department, and even wrote his own text book. He knows his stuff, and as long as you show up to lecture, you will do just fine.

Professor Kautz is a great chemistry professor. I would have him as my professor if I ever took chemistry again. He teaches the class great and gives great support/motivation.

Dr. Kautz understands the material is very fast-paced and gives you plenty of resources to learn. He sends inspirational emails before big tests and is a great person. If you take the time to ensure you understand the material and attend reci the class is pretty easy.

Great professor, but expects a lot from you as a student. He is very organized with his canvas, and giving you materials to help you prepare, but besides the lectures (which are very content heavy), you have to put in the effort to succeed in this class. He has a very 'grind-like' mindset, where there are no shortcuts, you just have to do the work

GOAT of Gen Chem, put in the work and you will get a good grade

Kautz is the BEST prof you can have for gen chem. They are both challenging courses, but if you have to take them, TAKE THEM WITH KAUTZ. One homework assignment per week typically, and if there is a question a lot of students are struggling with, he will typically send emails with hints or talk about them in lecture.

If you have the choice between Kautz and Sun, take Kautz at all costs. It is worth sitting on Kautz's lectures even if you are in Sun's class. Sun class is a struggle due to the language barrier and lack of explanation of concepts. Kautz wants his students to learn and provides many resources that Sun does not.

Kautz provides plenty of materials to help you learn--you just have to put in the effort. If it puts things into perspective, Kautz's class average for one test was an 84 while Sun's average was a 74. Kautz will teach you how to use your calculator to factor and Sun will make you factor with the quadratic formula. Choose wisely.

Kautz is a great professor. Lays out all of the information needed on the tests.

One of the best teacher I have ever had. Probably best professor at UNL. Great at communication and amazing lecturer. Take him at all costs if you can. Phenomenal review material and lays out everything that will be on the test, so you should never be ill-prepared.

Dr. Kautz is by far the best general chemistry professor at UNL. He provides plenty of exam review via review sessions, practice tests in the recitation book, and practice questions in the textbook. Take advantage of iClicker, they add up at the end of the semester. Dr. Kautz was always helpful and quick to respond to emails.

Great lecturer, exams are probably harder than they should be, but they make the final feel very easy

He's one of the best professors at UNL. He truly cares about his students, and gives an insane amount of resources to use to prepare adequately for tests.

hello kautz i love you twin

Science is hard for me, but Dr. Kautz is honestly the best professor I've ever had in my first 2 years. He's so knowledgeable and respects his students. If you put in the work you will get a good grade. He's very clear and explains things very well, and he has an instagram page too! He's the GOAT for gen chem 100%

Kautz would be in the hall of fame for chemistry if it existed. By far my favorite and the best teacher I've had in my life. He truly appreciates his students, makes his expectations clear, and makes me motivated to come to class because of his stellar personality and humorous disposition.

He was such a nice teacher, and he made the textbook material much easier to understand. I did not do well in this class, but I would have done so much worse without him.
