Metiu is a very nice professor who has realistic expectations for what he wants his students to know. He covers all the topics he wants you to understand in class, and explains concepts thoroughly. The class wasn't very difficult and I learned a lot of new skills, that's the hallmark of a good professor.

Professor Metiu could not recall what he has taught before. Once, he just repeated the last lecture again (even with the mistakes he made last time). He could not recall the correct form of equations - many times in each lecture he omitted or mistakenly added minus signs. Metiu's teaching brought disgrace to this university, which I would agree.

Grade 50% homework, 50% take home final. Doesn't seem like much chemistry, all math. Lecture content very consistent with textbook so you can catch up with textbook if you miss lecture. My TA didn't seem like they knew Mathematica well, but check grading standards with TAs since they grade. His office hours are more helpful for content/learning.

Stopped going to class because it did me no good and waste of time. Mathematica is confusing and TAs docked points from work that was correct (worked with professor). Small small curve that saved me

This course is so disorganized and exhibits a lack of communication between prof & TAs, TA & TA, prof & students. Metiu is mentally incapable to teach successfully. His teaching basically brings disgrace to the education at this university.

I have never taken a class where I was able to learn Mathematica. In order to pass the class, you need to have a large amount of knowledge on this program! Makes it near impossible for me to even attempt the homework since I can't program a simple function. It made the class unnecessarily hard for students like me who can't run the program.
