Don't take this class with him. Trust me. He's the only professor who does free response and there's only 2 midterms and one final they're all worth 80% of your grade. If you do take him prepare to study a lot and his questions are very weird, the way he words stuff is just very annoying. He's new so he doesn't know how to teach properly.

take another chem class, trust.

Nathan had slides that he went through very fast and was overall unorganized. I luckily had a TA would took sympathy on us and would grade more reasonably, however I basically had to teach the whole course to myself. The one thing that I liked was that he drops the lowest test grade (which could be 1 out of the 3 midterms or the final).

Nathan was very unorganized and very much all over the place. I would not recommend taking chem 25 with him. If you are an incoming freshman I suggest you just take chem 1A your second quarter rather than taking this course with a professor who will only complicate things more.
