Ram is super enthusiastic about teaching, and it makes the class fun. He goes off topic fairly often, but the digressions are usually pretty interesting, and he still manages to cover the material you need for tests. Tests were also very easy. Homework was written by the TAs, so it was often quite difficult.

He is an odd man. Professor Seshadri can be funny much of the time. Other times though he seems to mock you a bit when you're one on one in his office hours or answer a "dumb question." Overall though he is an approachable person. The class is not that rigorous or difficult and it interesting.

Professor Ram has been my favorite professor so far. He has reminded me why I loved chemistry in the first place! His lectures are very straightforward, and he takes things at a nice pace. Does a great job at incorporating real world examples that are relevant to college students interests. Keeps lectures interesting! His tests are also very fair.

Best dude around, I actually love this man so much. No doubt my favorite chem prof I have ever had. You have to really listen in lecture cause he will sneak in questions about things he mentioned in passing in the midterms. Super test heavy but that's honesty expected with the chem 3 series. Love u Ram

Took for 3C. Best professor I've had at UCSB. Genuinely cares about us and tests are reasonable+ fairly graded. So funny and loves chemistry. Found a way to bring up food and food chemistry every lecture. Great guy who will go out of his way to help us. 10/10

Gave great engaging lectures with many interesting applications of the material we were learning. Probably will prepare you worse for ochem, but you'll have a nicer time in this course. I agree with one of the reviews that he does have a little bit of a tendency to talk down to you if you are not understanding it at his level. Very knowledgeable!
