Easy Chem 1A tests. Okay at lecturing, but just make sure to PRACTICE. Not very accessible via email.

He's a nice person, but I don't recommend him as a professor. Book problems rarely help on the exams and he only gives one practice exam before each midterm, which doesn't cover the actual test material. He does a very poor job at explaining basic concepts and doesn't respond to emails. Focus on lectures for test review and review EARLY.

He is a nice guy but never responds to emails, does not care to give any feedback on tests. Exams were half material we went over in class, difficulty x 10 and half things we never learned. I had a really hard time with him and felt like I was wasting my time in his lectures. The HW/ALEKS never had anything to do with what we were tested on.

My advice is to start studying now because your going to be teaching yourself most of it. Comes off as a nice guy, but not a good teacher. Lectures and textbook problems don't reflect exam material. Does not prepare you whatsoever for how difficult his tests are. Had 3 midterms & final??? Said a 65.99 would curve to a B, etc, did not happen.

Weekly ALEKs is definitely a time sink, but the course material is really interesting. I found every class added something valuable. His demonstrations are EPIC. His tests are definitely pretty grueling, and the grading is ranked which is weird because you don't know your solid grade till the end, but he does make success possible and reasonable.

He cares about the subject, but doesn't care about students. He made jokes about how he purposefully gave us a midterm the MONDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING and told us to make sure we don't enjoy our break bc of the test. He never responds to emails, and I had a family emergency so I was unable to get any help for a midterm bc of this. Don't take him.
