CHEM3C . Abu-Omar M 4 Months 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 8 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 A Month Ago

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.

CHEM3A . Abu-Omar M 2 Months Ago

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.
