Reviews of professor Andrew Basner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
When taking CHEM 161/CHEM 181, I would really recommend Dr. Basner! He is laidback but also helpful and his labs are a stress free zone which I appreciate. His TAs do most of the grading so get to know them well and go to their office hours. Basner is a kind professor. As long as you do the expected work, you'll succeed.

He was my lab professor, but attendance wasn't totally mandatory. If you missed a lab you had chances to be able to make it up. A lot of quizzes based around the lab. Read the syllabus and understand how to do assignments.

Get ready to teach yourself everything because he just rambles and brings up random questions on the test. He grades very iffy too which makes no sense cause he doesn't teach either.

Dr. Basner is sooo chill and so nice! I'm taking him again for 181 and his class never stresses me out and is easy to follow, like any other lab a lot of it is graded and evaluated by the TAs but the TAs I've had in his class are super nice and helpful! As long as you keep track of lab quizzes, you can definitely do well in this class

Basner is awesome for lab!! We had one lab report and then lab notebook pages and labsters.  As long as you complete the assignments you'll do great.

Very chill guy. He had a quiet voice and was hard to hear at times. Posted helpful resources on sakai and had clear expectations for all labs and assignments.

Nice guy, very easy going. Labs don't have to be too precise and are graded by completion. Beware of online quizzes, deadlines can pass without you even realizing that they existed; however, you get one dropped quiz. TA's were very nice and easy to talk to. Easy class but annoyed about the hard to find quizzes.
