Comments:Dear Dr. Hardinger, I had a great time in your chem 30A class this past summer. Your love of chemistry always shone through as you took the time to make sure we all understood the concepts, and your chemistry jokes were the highlights of my week. I used to be terrified of organic chemistry until I took your class. It was the second time that I was attempting beginning organic chemistry (I was a visitor to UCLA in the summer) and when I was done with 30A, I realized just how cool this subject is. Now I am taking the equivalent of 30C at my home school, working toward my dream of becoming a dentist! Whenever I get scared of new or difficult concepts, I just think of your class, and these memories help me to keep moving forward one step at a time. I can only imagine how many other students you have inspired as you have me. Thank you so much, Dr. Hardinger! Sincerely, Lauren Midthun

I must confess however, that I am writing to you in regard to the World Series. Although the ANgels were losing slightly before play-offs I never doubted that they would not make it. Being a Dodger fan myself, I always show support for our So-Cal baseball teams. So in sum, I would just like to say good luck to the Angels and may the totally dominate in the World Series!!!

I took general chemistry at Antelope Valley Community College to prepare for O-chem, and we didn't have all of the study aids that UCLA provides ( especially in your class). The amount of helpful material is overwhelming. When studying for this class, I sometimes can't decide where to begin, so I consult your reader. The reader is very helpful.
