109B . Lewis R B 26 Days Ago

Dr. Lewis is a clear, organized lecturer who could probably teach this whole series in his sleep. Tests are difficult but reasonable, and there are lots of resources to help you succeed. My only significant complaint is his seating charts, which take the anonymity out of grades and make most students feel really insecure.

109B . Lewis R B A Month Ago

This course was the hardest one I've ever taken in my life. So much work outside of class, with minimal return. So many mechanisms to not only know, but implement in all sorts of different other reactions. Lewis did the best he could do teach the material and respond on Canvas discussion boards, but this class is just so absurdly difficult.

Professor Lewis is known for his clear lectures and fair tests. While Organic Chemistry is challenging, he equips you with the right tools. Utilize the textbook, attend office hours, and try unstuck AI for study prep - success is attainable with effort.

109B . Lewis R B 4 Months Ago

He has 4 exams in one single quarter. He sometimes has class on Monday and tests on Wednesday about what you just learned on Monday, which is IMPOSSIBLE to do especially for Ochem. You must get help from your friends who previously had the class to get good results. If not, you'll probably get a C or lower. He is the best among chem 109 though.

He has 4 exams in one single quarter. He sometimes has class on Monday and tests on Wednesday about including what you just learned on Monday. It's IMPOSSIBLE to do that, especially for Ochem.

Lewis is a great professor, despite the subject's challenges. He equips you with essential tools, you have to choose your own approach. Some require more time to grasp topics, while others need less, but success is attainable with effort. Dedicate as much study time as you need, utilize textbook, and attend office hours.
