Professor A-O does a great job at teaching CHEM 3C as he provides further context on most topics as to why we are learning it and how it's used industrially to manufacture goods. Homework was optional but great prep for exams, study guides were also given, and exams are reasonably easy. Also he's pretty funny for teaching an 8am class.

I was placed into this class by the registrar opposed to CHEM 1A since I am a CHEM major. Worst professor I've ever had and I really mean it. Prof assumed everyone in the class had a strong AP chemistry foundation so lectures were useless/did not prepare us. Made it clear he didn't care about me or my grade. Retook it with another Prof, got an A+

Easy to follow lectures and always covers all the needed material. Can tell that he is passionate about teaching and about the material; great personality and even better teacher.

A very kind professor, very knowledgeable and passionate about chemistry, he can get a lot of the class to laugh at his jokes. Midterms and final were fair and pretty similar to the book problems, but prepare to study. Grades are curved in your favor at the end of the quarter, he really doesn't want to fail his students.

His lessons tend to be useless, leaving you to teach yourself through problems in the online textbook. While the materials provided, such as the textbook, Aleks, and “study guides” from the TA, might help w chem, they aren't very helpful when it comes to his exams. I wouldn't recommend his class to students without prior AP chemistry knowledge.

AO was a sweet professor although his lecture wasn't helpful. He curves your overall end grade by a decent amount and does not want to fail you. He gives partial credit on the tests and the tests are not unreasonably hard if you do the textbook problems. I recommend taking him and staying consistent with the textbook problems.
