Reviews of professor Will Gutekunst

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Gutekunst was FANTASTIC for CHEM 2312; this is a hard class, much harder than CHEM 2311 (imo), but Dr. Gutekunst really cares about making sure that you understand the material and is super accessible outside of class for help (replying to emails quickly and even holding extra office hours on a Sunday before an exam). Highly recommend.

Great Lecturer. Ochem 2 will be a hard class no matter what. I wish he split up the Problem Sets into smaller ones because there were only 5 of them and they were each incredibly dense. Other than that, I would highly recommend him.

Sweet guy, always willing to help. Good at explaining. Orgo 2 is a pretty hard class but I definitely liked it more than orgo 1 because of him. He's so passionate it makes you passionate. 5 exams spaced about 2-3 weeks apart, mandatory final, problem sets (aka homework) due 2 classes before exam day. Drops one exam. Little/No curve. 8.95/10.

He's a great lecturer and good at explaining things, but he's very passive-aggressive, and won't post much-needed lecture videos. The tests are difficult, and almost all of them will include an obscure detail pulled from a slide he covered for 5 minutes, instead of the topics he'll spend a week explaining. Take only if you can memorize everything.

Great prof with good energy. This is a really difficult class, but Dr. Gutekunst organizes the class very well and is very approachable. He explains a lot of the HW during office hours, so I highly recommend going if you can. Super kind and listens to student needs. Tests can be difficult but are fair for the most part.
