Awesome guy, decently generous with grading and consistently easy to understand. I wish I had known how exceptional he'd turn out to be compared with others I've had since.

Really kind and considerate. Pretty much a likable old grandpa. Teaches at a reasonable pace and still covers a good amount of material. Make a good review sheet and you're golden.

Poland is AMAZING! he's the cutest man ever and his lectures are clear and to the point. doesn't use a mic or any notes. he writes everything straight from memory! exams are straight from lectures and he lets you have a sheet of notes for the exams, even the final. pay attention and youll get your A like I did. <3 you douggie!

The best professor I had second semester. He is so generous and cares about your progress in the course. Very approachable. I went to his office hours so many times, and he is accommodating if you explain to him what you need/are having trouble with. He doesn't feel the need to make exams unnecessarily hard or tricky, and that final was awesome!

Comment:
Doug Poland is by far the best professor I've come across at this school. The man is a genius, evidenced by the fact he can make difficult subjects seem very simple. The man owns every lecture coming into class with nothing but a piece of chalk. Other professors should strive to be half as good as Professor Poland. You don't really use the textbook

go to class! as you will find out day one, his tests are based on lecture and the book is to be used as a "guide." lectures are very clear and easy to follow. the optional h.w. problems are mostly useless; just work out the ones given in lecture. His review sessions are worthwhile and he posts a review sheet.

The only people who could possibly give this fantastic professor a bad rating are the stupid ones who never go to class. Hes extremely clear about what you need to know, as evidenced by the thousands of times you'll hear him say 'so what this means is'. He gives you exactly what you need to know, and clearly loves chem.

Comment:
He repeats the main points from the previous day's lecture at the beginning of every class. That alone should be a giveaway as to how easy his class is- just study the lectures, not the textbook. In fact, don't buy the textbook- waste of money (honest).
