CHEM3C . Abu-Omar M 2 Months Ago

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.

CHEM3C . Abu-Omar M 1 Year, 16 Days Ago

HE IS SUCH A SWEET LIL GUY! MIDTERM 1 IS 30%, MIDTERM 2 IS 30%, AND FINAL IS 40%. NO ALEKS. LECTURES AND OFFICE HOURS ARE SO CHILL AND HELPFUL.

CHEM3C . Abu-Omar M 1 Year, 4 Months Ago

Abu-Omar is the absolute goat. He is much better for 3C than 3A imo, because he gets to talk more and go on tangents about the details of chemistry. I love his charisma and he is hilarious. I HIGHLY recommend you attend because he often will tell you what he will put on the exam! Read the textbook before lecture so that you will understand it.

Good professor. He teaches directly from the textbook. Tests are free response but graded leniently. Grade is 30% each midterm, 40% final. No ALEKS. Absolutely no technology. Canvas has a list of book problems for each week and that is it (no answers posted). Study "guides" are just a list of topics to know. Does more organic chem than other profs.

CHEM3A . Abu-Omar M 7 Months Ago

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.
