Expectations for the class are super clear and there's so many resources to use if you need help, which you probably will. This class is definitely the definition of easy classwork, harder homework, and even harder tests especially if you don't do the book problems. You'll get what you put in this class. Joseph is super nice and easy to understand.

Joseph does a fantastic job at making difficult concepts appear somewhat understandable. Provides recorded lectures that I would watch before class, but you should 100% still attend lecture. Do ALL the book problems, there's a lot so find a way to schedule it in. Try to understand WHY each step is done in the problems too. Keep up w/ mirco goals!

Crisjoe is awesome! However, he will teach you the art of hard work and dedication to chemistry, especially if you haven't taken AP Chem. He really makes you understand not only HOW to do the problems, but WHY you're doing them. Incredibly difficult, but I believe worth it. DO BOOK PROBLEMS!

most heinous tests imaginable. Great lecturer but tests are way hardee than other professors.

I LOVE JOSEPH GENTLEPEOPLE. Silly and uses real-life metaphors/situations that make us laugh but also help connect to material. He lectures a bit fast in terms of slide speed but everything is posted. He takes the time for questions & answers them. DO ASSIGNED BOOK PROBLEMS AND HIS PRACTICE TESTS! he takes questions directly off of them.

Gentlepeople, chem is a difficult subject no matter who your prof is. However, Joseph is a good lecturer and the class is structured fairly. The midterms are 25% and the final is 30% but the final may replace your lowest midterm. ALEKS (hw) can be annoying but is very manageable. If you do the book problems and practice tests, you will succeed.
