Review:
Professor Dewald is a good professor to have if it's your first exposure to chemistry. Since he only teaches one or two classes in a given semester, he makes himself extremely available for questions. I have been told that some students find him difficult to understand but I never found this to be the case. The class is a bit dry because Professor Dewald doesn't believe in demonstrations or media. He does, however, have a good sense of humor and plenty of funny mannerisms to keep the class amused. He is extremely knowledgeable and was a researcher before he was a teacher so he can usually draw from his personal experience.

Workload:
About one problem set a week. You should read the book as it can be helpful for gaining understanding. Tests are long. Sometimes real LONG. But the grading is fair and he returns tests in a very timely manner.
