This was absolutely the worst class I have ever taken. I'm not a lazy student either. Those giving positive marks to this professor had a strong background in AP Chemistry before coming to UCSB DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Jokes more than he teaches. A cynic. No communication.Awful TA's. Took same class with a different professor next qrtr got an A+
Super awesome guy super fun class occasionally he goes on incredibly long tangents completely unrelated to material we are learning but he is so charismatic it hardly matters.
super enthusiastic and interested teacher. explains things well and homework is minimal. definitely recommend.
He is the BEST professor I have ever met at UCSB. He easily explained hard things. Often go to his office hours, and he will always give you something interesting. However, his TAs are useless and always teach the wrong stuff. Don't trust them, just go to ask the prof. He is always welcome to answer. He is nice and his tests are easy.
