Reviews of professor Will Gutekunst

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
One of the best professors at Tech: extremely nice and knowledgable at what he does

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
My favorite professor at Tech so far! Coming into this class, I didn't really like orgo due to my previous teacher. But Dr. Gutekunst's enthusiasm for the subject was contagious and now I love it! He kept a very simple class structure and tests were fair. Office hours were super helpful and he curved tests when we did poorly. Study hard!

One of the nicest/most patient/approachable professors ever. However he doesn't provide nearly enough practice to supplement crazy amount of information you'll learn and he isn't really a professor that "dumbs it down". Definitely a good pick if you really enjoy/understand chemistry, otherwise you could be getting lost a bit in his explanations

Contradictory to other reviews, I thought that he made the class overly difficult, and his lectures were too fast/not very helpful. His slides were good, so I was able to learn the information on my own. I did not like the way his class was structured; I feel like I learned nothing. He was very accessible outside of class to meet and try to help!

avoid if you can! 85% of grade is exams/final and he makes the tests WAY harder than the problem sets/practice exams. no matter what you do to learn/review material, the tests are entirely made up of things you've never seen before or things that were skimmed over. he is passive aggressive to students that ask a lot of questions in class

Dr. Gutekunst was one of the best professors I've had - he's extremely kind and caring, and very approachable., and explained concepts well. It's really too bad I am beyond-saving awful at organic chemistry and am a burnt out shell of a student, because I really would have liked to have given more to the class solely because of this professor.

He is a very inspiring chemist. I am a chemistry major, so I am very delighted to have him as a professor for different course! Also, the exams are very fair. You truly gotta love Chemistry. Don't try to chase the grade!

Orgo will be a hard class regardless of who you take it with. I think Dr. Gutekunst does a great job of teaching the class material. The tests are worth a lot of your grade but are fair.

Amazing prof. Fast paced class but explains concepts very clearly. Organized with homework and exams. Fair exams. Provides extra practice when asked, creates review guides. Holds extra office hours weeks with exams. Fast turn around time with grading. The course content is hell but no one else I would want to do it with than Gutekunst
