truly such a caring professor and he's such a giggly and fun guy to talk to. I took his class for two quarters of the gen chem series and his exams have all been relatively difficult, although word for word book problems. Lectures don't always go into depth and there's lot of content to know all at once, but he is really helpful if you reach out

The lectures are very informational and tackle the fundamentals of chemistry, but do not prepare you for the test. Book problems are essential to getting good grades on the tests.

Joseph's lectures were very understandable + well organized. Tests were difficult since class is designed to be weeder, but overall if you study and do the book problems and ALEKS you will do well.

I feel like the people who liked him are those who took AP chem in high school. If you didn't like me, avoid his class unless you really have to take it. I recommend taking Price in Spring, he's so much better! You would need to take summer classes to catch up on the chem series, but it's worth it! If you do, get Fitzgerald as your TA, she's great!

I already knew all the class content from previous experience, but Dr. Joseph's lectures were nonetheless very good review and very thorough, and he's funny too :) When the class got lower than expected scores on a midterm, Dr. Joseph greeted the class with compassion and hefty extra-credit assignments for all. Final was challenging, but not crazy.

Dr. Joseph was great. Everything in lecture was explained very clearly, and his office hours were really helpful for clarifying material. Do all the book problems (very important for success in the class), practice tests (timed!), and textbook readings and you should be fine. Midterms are a time crunch but the final wasn't which was nice.
