If anyone tries to tell you that 112 is 'way easier than 111 or 106' is LYINGGGGG. It's hard. That being said, it is an advanced GenChem class, so what would you expect? The quizzes are heinous but the exams are do-able.

I like fournier a lot. the content of 112 is just less interesting than 111. But the exams are still pretty easy and you derive a lot of cool relationships and equations.

Lame class. Not cool or fun like 111. Not challenging and engaging like 111. This is the ugly step sister of 111. Just kinda a meh class

He is a decent professor, but it is hard to follow up from the 111 professors. The class is difficult, but if you spend enough time outside of class, it is doable.

Fournier was fine. A little on the boring side, and he seemed a bit uncomfortable in help sessions. He struggled with answering questions. Be ready for a letdown after 111A. (Still take 111A/112A over 105/106, unless you are doing taking science courses.)

What I come away with from 112 is that Fournier got the job done He wasn't especially charismatic about it and sometimes he needed to go into greater detail, but with work outside of class you can get everything down. I didn't find his office hours to be great because he'd just answer questions curtly and not explain the why or the how of the topic

His lectures while some find a little boring are well structured and presented for the most part very clearly. The exams are difficult but not impossible and the grading is pretty fair. This course is challenging but doable and worthwhile

nice guy, lectures easy to follow and make note taking effortless. class was easier than 111 but still much more difficult than ap chem imo. but if you do the non graded you will be fine

Dr. Fournier is an amazing professor. He explains concepts in a straightforward manner, although this is his first time teaching Chem112A. He can derive each formula by starting from the basic principles so that you can thoroughly understand the origin and meaning of each formula rather than just memorizing it. Exams are fair, and it's easy A.
