Another said they were terrified to take the Chemistry course at Cal, but Geissler immediately put them at ease. "Professor Geissler had a way of teaching where he was constantly attentive and caring towards his students. I’ll miss his guitar songs about orbitals and when he would bring the Cal band into class as a surprise. It was an honor to be taught by him."The quiz went something like this: it asked students if they were taking his class to see a) complicated molecules and math, b) the professor play guitar, c) explosions, or d) the professor sing.
