Pros: He truly wants you to get the material. I started going to office hours for the orgo unit completely confused and ended up with an 87% on the test before retake. It's proof he won't let you leave without really understanding a concept. He is also super nice once you get to know him and makes a conscious effort to remember your name and talk to you before and after class.
Cons: He is difficult, but that's chemistry here. We go to a very good school and therefore can expect to not get away with bs-ing our coursework. Understand that chem 104 will be hard but if you put in the effort you will get a lot of the class and earn a decent grade.

Cons: The concepts are difficult to grasp and he purposefully makes the exams harder than they should be.

Dr. Ray is my favorite professor at U of I thus far! He made Chem 104 really interesting and easy to understand! Do as many problems as you can to succeed on the exams...they can be pretty challenging.

Prof. Ray is very fun. He almost makes chemistry interesting. He has a lot of fun stories that keep people awake. He also likes to do fun demos. I never had to use my book in his class. The only homework was through Lon Cappa.
