Pros

WPI is a great community for research and learning. The Graduate program in Chemistry and Biochemistry continues to improve. The staff and students have a good working relationship. The research buildings have great equipment and are very collaborative.

Cons

The Chemistry and Biochemistry department is still small, but is continuing to grow. The class offerings are also minimal for Graduate Students, but the department is aware of this. They are making an effort to offer more options in the future.

Pros

Can be pretty easy if most of your work is office hours. I had about seven hours a week and most of the time there weren't many students.

Cons

Grading was a lot harder than I expected. Pretty demoralizing honestly; a lot of clearly ChatGPT submissions (ECE programming class mostly with freshmen who'd never seen code before, so not surprising). Grading paper exams was fine.
