Personally Joseph was the best professor I had for gen chem. It is an inherently difficult course however his exam were always fair. The book problems, practice exams, and concepts in lecture were all reflected in the exams if you study right none of the problems were entirely out of nowhere (an issue with some of the other gen chem profs lol)

Joseph's 1C was hardest in the gen chem series for me. I got A's in both 1A and 1B without doing any book problems, which is NOT an option for Joseph's classes. Follow his schedule of relevant book problems for each week, and really practice the ochem concepts (CLAS helpful for practice). Also, the actual tests do not look like the practice tests.

Like any chem class, it is difficult and very time-consuming, but Joseph gives you all of the tools necessary to succeed. It is one of those classes where you get back what you put in. I did almost all book problems (~3/4 hours a week) and studied extensively for exams (~15 hrs each). Fun lecturer and hard, but fair class

Crisjoe Joseph is such a cutie patootie! The class is hard but you can tell he cares. His lectures are funny and he is very honest about what you need to do / should do in order to succeed in his class.

This is a hard course, but I never felt cheated by a test question Joeseph gave. He gives u as many resources as he can for u to suceed: practice tests, book problems similar to the test and plenty of office hours. Joeseph makes this hard course as managable as he can. If taking gen chem I can't reccomend him enough

Really easy professor. Lecture slides and stuff he talks about sometimes don't line up and can be confusing. Wish he did more practice problems in class--book problems are much harder than what's covered in lecture. 2 midterms and final, all mcq. Cares a lot about students and chem.
