Reviews of professor Dirk Trauner

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took orgo II with Dirk Trauner and he's a a guy that puts effort into making the subject interesting. I still remember him drawing out the structure of rocket fuel on the board. He loves big domino effect reactions that occur throughout a structure to eventually effect a tiny change so don't panic if you are stumped at first on an exam.

Advanced organic was a dream, Trauner had to step out for a couple weeks but his graduate students filled in and were fine very nice way to round out undergraduate organic chemistry education. 2 midterms (non cumulative), a final (semi-cumulative), and no HW. Come to class, take notes, ask questions, how an organic class should be run.
