This guy is the best. Very reasonable and respects your life outside of school. Take him.
Dr. Zakarian is the best professor to take Chem 109C with. He's very clear in lectures, although utilizing the textbook is essential when it comes to passing the class. He's probably the fairest prof in the CHEM dept when it comes to exam expectations and preparation. As long as you do the practice midterms and book problems, you'll do good.
Awesome professor! By far the easiest Ochem professor at UCSB. His exams are super fair and reflect what you learn in lecture. Definitely read the book!
Zakarian was a great lecturer with fair exams. Compared to other profs I had for OCHEM, he was the easiest, and I felt like his exams reflected the info we learned the best. Exam questions were close to those in the practice exams, review slides, and textbook questions. He is fast paced, but if you keep up with the lectures you'll be fine
