fantastic teacher. if you can do science and keep up, he makes perfect sense. teaches chemistry exactly the way it should be. also very funny and quirky

He is an interesting teacher. His lectures can sometimes be confusing, but it was fairly easy to take notes. He knows his stuff and if you have to take Chem it might as well be from him.

This was a very difficult class, but I am sure it would have been that way no matter who tought the class, if you didn't understand he was always there to answer questions. I have to give him credit though, during his test review session he stayed until all questions were answered on his own time.

Wherland was a great professor. His exams were pretty straight forward, and the homework generally wasn't too bad. Very helpful outside of class time. Only complaint is that his final was a tougher than the previous exams which caught people offguard a bit.

He's a pretty good teacher.. I like him better then all my other chem teachers so far. Hes a funny lil man :)

Although a lot of people don't like him, I think he's pretty reasonable (will throw out test questions if they are ambiguous), explains things well, and is kinda funny sometimes

Many people say that he is hard, but if u attend the lecture and actually listen not fall asleep, then he is not too bad. And you gotta love his jokes and side comments.

If you go to lecture everyday and also read the book, you will be fine. Especially if you go to his office hours, you will get your questions answered. He wants everyone to do well. The material really isnt hard, you just have to dedicate lots of time to it outside of class... a bummer yes, but you'll get an A.

Wherland made awesome 'hirr' noises during lecture some times, occasionally unintentionally made t-rex arm gestures, and noted that "engineers have unit envy." Kickass. Most entertaining 8 am class ever. Also, the class was a **** at times. Never used the textbook at all.

Prof. Wherland was very accessible. He's always glad to help, so I made sure to sign up for one of his classes next semester. It's difficult, but I like the way he teaches.

Wherland is great. No professor in my experience could be more perfect for a 100 level class. Compassionate, knowledgeable, and funny, he clearly wants his students to do well. Student effort pays off in class. He makes the sometimes obtuse topics of chemistry completely accessible. Top notch overall.

As far as chem professors go, Wherland is great. He explains things clearly, is eager to answer questions in lecture, and is willing to work with students during office hours. His jokes are corny but entertaining. I wanted to take 106 from him, but I'm not willing to go to his 8am lecture.

Professor Wherland is a fairly difficult professor, not because he doesn't cover the content, but because the content is difficult to comprehend. I got an A simply because I put the time in to talk to the professor when I had questions instead of cowering away and whining about how he was a terrible professor. When you talked to him...very helpful.

Classes are large, but Wherland is good at explaining everything and very willing to answer any questions even in the middle of lecture. it's a hard class but not terrible to sit through. reading the book is VERY important!

Hard class. The textbook doesn't help much but review sessions help alot. lecture was really boring. wherland was alright, had some hilarious nerd jokes and makes funny t-rex arm motions. i wouldnt take this class unless you absolutely have to.

Tests are difficult, but as long as you know your way around a lab write-up and get your OWL done its hard to fail. Detailed lecture notes make the book obsolete and turn the weekly quizzes into easy points.

Good professor, he knows what he is talking about. His in class lectures can easily get confusing because of how hard the material is. Talking to him out of class is really helpful. Textbook is really helpful for the online OWL assignment. Do not take this class unless absolutely necessary.

Well this guy is kind of weird but knows his stuff. Inclass notes everyday and quizes on fridays. exams suck cause he sometimes throws new crap on there. Labs suck because they are lame and the writeups suck because my ta is so nitpicky its hard to get an a. My ta was shurie harrison. shes hard but knows her stuff. takes alot of time. online hw eas

Very nice guy, helps you understand material if you care enough to ask a question, knows his chemistry well, surprised he's teaching instead of some other job related to Chemistry, very good teacher overall, class is hard though, study hard and it'll be worth it!

Study hard for this class! Professor Wherland is very nice and kinda goofy. He's vert willing to help you.

If you need to take chem and are decent at it, Wherland is the way to go. His lectures are structured and not difficult to follow if you pay attention to it and read the book. 105/6 are hard classes to begin with, so expect assignments, quizzes and exams to be challenging. He does digress a lot, which can be annoying but overall, I recommend him.

This instructor is very capable and he tends to be more amusing in the earlier lectures because he hasn't had his coffee yet.

Wherland is actually a really fun teacher, even though the material is pretty difficult. There's a lot of work for his classes and his tests are tricky. As a lecturer though, he's a lot of fun to listen to.

He is a good teacher and sometimes entertaining.

Great professor. Always willing to help you understand something if you don't. Also, first day of 105 was the best lecture i've ever had. Blowin' stuff up. BOOM

Very intelligent man but not a great professor. Exams are very hard! The only reason I recieved an A was because I read the book EVERY DAY. The material is not easy but if you are willing to put the time in you can get through it. Homework/quizzes/labs are not bad especially if you get a good TA. Good luck! Study hard and you will get a good grade!

very fun and interesting professor and understanding if you have a problem. Class material is very hard but if you study hard you can do well. Some of the TA's are pretty hard. don't get Schurie harrison!

Funny, smart and a giant chemistry nerd! Makes class fairly interesting but it is tough material.

textbook is really all you need. a tip: do well in labs, quizzes, and everything but tests and you will get a C. work hard on studying for tests and do descent in that category and you'll pull off an A. go to office hours he's extremely helpful even though he is fast during lecture. this class will give you the grade you honestly earned good luck

Professor Wherland is a good lecturer, and I had no problems with that. The tests will sometimes have problems that are not covered in lecture, tutorial, or anything of the like. Also, a good TA is a MUST HAVE for success in the class. A bad TA will DESTROY your grade.

Not a class you can sleep through, not do homework, and expect to do well on exams. Go to lecture and ask for plenty of help before you get completely lost. Wherland is really nice and very willing to help. He holds review sessions before exams and offers a lot of study material. He can go off on tangents during lecture, but it's not bad.

Many people find this class hard because of the work involved with it. Professor Wherland is a great teacher if you have a general idea of what he is talking about... Make sure to read the book before lecture, especially if you are unfamiliar with the material, and you should be able to get a good grade in the class. (The class is usually curved).

Wherland knows exactly what he is talking about, and when you take a course such as this it won't be easy. In order to pass you need to study diligently and make an effort to learn on your own. He gives ample inforin the notes, and what you don't understand you need to read up on, people blame him for bad grades but it's them.

Chemistry 105 is absolute hell, but it isn't impossible. Wherland is a decent professor who will help you when you need it. He respects students who take his class seriously.
