CHEM112C . 3 Months Ago

One of my favorite profs in the chem department. Very accessible outside of class and truly cares about his students. His homework is easy but tests can be tricky (but fair)

CHEM112A . 11 Months Ago

Challenging class, but a great professor. He truly wants to see us succeed and makes his expectations very clear. He gives you everything you need to succeed, it's just a matter of you putting in the time/effort. He made the material really interesting and connected it with real-life examples. 10/10 this is how difficult classes should be taught.

CHEM112A . 11 Months Ago

Math and concept heavy class. Our averages were a bit lower than he expected which might be due to how he lectures, in my opinion. He explains it great for the people who get high Bs and As but not for the rest and the lectures and explanations feel catered towards them mostly. Go to OH & review sessions, those should help.

CHEM112A . 1 Year, 10 Months Ago

He is very helpful, perhaps too helpful. He really spend a lot of time to explain stuffs that people don't really understand, but that makes the class a bit too slow. However, I guess pchem for biochem students isn't really a tough course, so he's probably a fairly reasonable professor.

Professor Sepunaru has to be one of the best professors I've had so far. His lectures are engaging and really makes you think about the real life implications of the stuff you learn. He is extremely encouraging and is there to help you succeed. Go to office hours and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Three words: For The Students. Dr. Sepunaru is my favorite professor at UCSB and for good reason, his lectures are interactive and make you think about real biological applications of the course content. As a biochemistry major in the MCDB department, I'm sad that I can't take more classes with him at the helm. Take this class with him if you can!
