Reviews of professor Andrew Kauffmann

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
If you want an easy A or B, by all means take the class- but prepare to be bored out of your mind. Also, he is the hardest grader on papers I have ever seen and this was literally for a 1st semester required freshman course. Other then that, it's bearable at best.

Kauffmann is an excellent professor. His lecture style is enjoyable and easy to comprehend. He tends to favor doing example problems during lecture rather than explain content but I find this has helped me perform better on his exams and quizzes. Read the textbook to learn the concepts and use his lectures to learn how to solve  problems.

Worst professor at Truman. No feedback. Take at your own risk. Just a lazy pos that doesn't care about anything.

BEWARE OF KAUFFMAN! I took for CHEM130 and CHEM 129 this class made no sense I had to teach myself everything. I felt so unprepared for labs and dreaded going to class. Homework, labs, and quizzes were extremely difficult for a 100 level class. please don't do this to yourself and save your mental health <3

This professor has a teaching style that does not fit will with me. He is extremely lecture heavy and the majority of points come from his tests. The material makes no sense, and he just writes the math out on his slides and then does not explain how it is used. Labs are not long if you prepare but will not tie into the class. DO NOT TAKE!

No matter what, the class will be rough because it's chem. But this professor makes it bearable. He gives out homework and small assignments to help your grade. Weekly quizzes are sometimes easy and sometimes difficult. The labs and exams are a lot. But, he is a fair professor who's nice to talk to, and way better than the other chem prof. options.

Dr. Kauffmann was a really great professor to have for Tru110. Hes kind and caring and very approachable. You can tell that he really cares about his students. There are no pop quizzes, and he gave us ample class time to finish homework.

Recorded lectures but more beneficial to attend lectures so can ask questions. Take very detailed notes! Dr. K is approachable and accessible during office hours and willing to help ensure you understand the concepts and/or math. CHEM129 is just an introduction and still difficultI truly felt he wanted to make sure we succeeded, so reach out.

Honestly the worst prof I've ever had. If you take an asynchronous course with this guy, prepare to teach yourself literally everything. He refused to give worked-out solutions to practice problems or any feedback on work, so I never actually learned from my mistakes. "Difficult to succeed" without office hours, but didn't feel approachable at all.
