Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Good Points: easily approachable, gives lots of resources, holds study sessions, easily accessible(GroupMe), any issues with LAs/Labs he will handle quickly, honestly a very great professor and passionate about chemistry. Meh Points: some of the POGILs from workshops can make understanding of a concept worse

I took Dr. B for General Chemistry 1 and he was a great professor. I retook him again for General Chemistry 2 thinking since I know his teaching and testing style that I would be fine. I don't know what happened but he was worse than last semester, he didn't seem to care about our student complaints.

He is a great professor. He did give a lot of homework, which was a bit annoying. He really cares about all of his students and tries his best to help everyone understand. He has a lot of office hours and is willing to meet outside of his set hours. His tests are also really tough.

Dr. Baillie really does care about the success of his students. He is almost always willing to help and responds to emails quickly. I definitely spent most of my time focused on his course because of the workload, however. If you study, complete the assignments, and ask questions, you will do just fine!

Dr. Baillie is an excellent chemistry teacher. While the tests are very difficult, studying hard makes them easier. The homework and quizzes every week are not bad at all and can help with grades.

Best Chemistry teacher on campus. If you took AP chem in high school, its essentially the same course and is not very difficult. But for those who even struggled in chem, Dr. Baillie was incredibly helpful. He knows what hes talking about and has really great lectures, so reading the textbook isnt even necessary. 10/10 would take again.

Dr. Baillie is a treasure. I've never felt as though a professor cares as much as he does. It's not an easy A, but if you want to learn it, he WILL help you get it. Some of his things seem a little extra, but they work. He's got the patience of a saint and and wants to work with you.

Dr. Baillie is an amazing professor. His teaching style is very interactive. This means you will want to go to every class to learn. You truly won't gain the same amount of knowledge if you just skip class and read over powerpoints. There is a good amount of homework but it is fair. Lastly, this class is all about concepts and how math fits in.

Proffesor Baillie is very passionate about what he teaches but clearly talks to some students over others. The ones that are think they are smarter than the others which makes it very toxic. I dread going to class because it reminds me that I am not as good as them. The tests are hard.
