Top rated in Science with a 3.8 rating across 4 reviews.

  • Rating: 3.8 from 4 reviews.
  • Overall rank: #566 of 1263.
  • Department rank: #2 of 5.
  • Teaches a wide range of courses in the dataset (13).
  • Best course ranks: CHEM 492 (Independent Study) (#7/27), CHEM 499 (Supervised Research) (#7/26), and CHEM 599 (Ph.D. Thesis Research) (#7/24).

Some students love it, some do not, so context matters. The ranking is not extreme either way. Within the department, it lands around the middle. Early signal only, since the review count is low.

This one looks more course dependent, so choose the class carefully.
