The Chem 260 Rant

I really need to write this. I really do.
Chem 260 has been absolutely horrible so far. The class isn't hard or anything, but the professor is horrendous. I could write an essay about what he's doing wrong, but I won't. I'll just list a bunch of things that I hate about his teaching.

1. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Okay, he might have gotten some of Schrodinger's wave equation and the Boltzmann distribution, but spectroscopy? He said that an IR spec. is a "fingerprint region". He glosses over entanglement and puts it on our test. He spent half an hour trying to figure out why the signs changed on an equation when it was supposed to change according to the rules he taught us. He puts up figures from the book and then when he can't figure out what the figure says he reads the caption to us. Like I'm illiterate or something. I would think of more examples, but since I've studied so much for this stupid class, I probably understand almost all the stuff I didn't understand after leaving his leacture.
   
2. His lectures are so disorganized that he mentions something and never elaborates on it. He mentioned "Selection Rules" like 50 times and then just gives us guidelines for no reason. He says that this graph doesn't have a "Q" branch and never says what it is. He briefly mentioned Arnie Wahl, says something about his graphs being great posters, and expects us to know what concept he invented. Just about the moment he would explain something, he goes into another topic. Just wait. He mentions Raman spec. on Friday, doesn't tell us why it is different, and will ask us a bunch of questions on it for the test.
3. He teaches the class like it's Intro Bio. Really. He expects us to memorize names of people, random things he mentions, principles that none of us will ever use again, etc. It's like whoever can write down the most things he says will get the highest grades (which are obviously not the chem. majors - we just like to write structures). He has us practice how to make calculations in class so that the pre-med kids can get it. He reuses exam questions (now this part isn't like bio) and lets the pre-med kids copy down answers they've memorized. And he's a chemist! How can you be so nice to them when you don't want them in this class in the first place?

This class is going to suck. Since the average is so high (84% on the first test), I don't think I'll be able to get out of here with more than an A- unless he feels like being nice. He's making an 84% the lowest B+ and I got an 86% on the first test. Why can't this class be like orgo, where I could completely mess up a 20-point mechanism (along with the usual careless mistakes) and still comfortably get an A?
