I already knew all the class content from previous experience, but Dr. Joseph's lectures were nonetheless very good review and very thorough, and he's funny too :) When the class got lower than expected scores on a midterm, Dr. Joseph greeted the class with compassion and hefty extra-credit assignments for all. Final was challenging, but not crazy.

Dr. Joseph was great. Everything in lecture was explained very clearly, and his office hours were really helpful for clarifying material. Do all the book problems (very important for success in the class), practice tests (timed!), and textbook readings and you should be fine. Midterms are a time crunch but the final wasn't which was nice.

Genuinely such a cool professor. Chem will always be hard but Joseph tried his best to teach everyone. If you need help, he is always available. I loved his chem 1A calendar to get things done, super helpful! The practice exams were kinda like the actual exams but please look into the concept and take your time to learn it because you can get lost.

Joseph is an engaging professor, and you can tell he really wants us to learn. Chem itself is hard, but Joseph did his best to make it less stressful. He puts a lot of book problems in the exams so make sure to study those. Aleks wasn't really that helpful, but it's good practice for general concepts. Also, don't rely on the curve too much

Gives somewhat helpful lectures, also have posted them on YouTube (covers the basics). Tries to help in OH so highly recommend. Shares past exams, which were really useful and somewhat similar to actual ones. Curved the final grade to help students pass. best chem prof by far.

Joseph does a good job at teaching concepts. Chemistry is a hard topic regardless of professor but as long as you do book problems and the practice tests the class is manageable. A lot of material is thrown at you during lectures which can be overwhelming.
