    109B . Lewis R B A Month Ago

    Lewis is a great ochem professor. The material was clear and his canvas was very well organized. Ochem is a tough series and he definitely understand that. It's clear he genuinely wants everyone to do well.

    109B . Lewis R B 4 Months Ago

    Genuinely start doing textbook problems from birth at this point. You will want to drive off the pier after every exam. Study for this class every single day and make sure that you're actually learning why something reacts instead of memorizing how.

    109B . Lewis R B 4 Months Ago

    Very kind professor and wants you to succeed! Def need to spend as much time as possible reading the textbook and doing practice problems to pass. Tests are very challenging.

    109B . Lewis R B 7 Months Ago

    Love his teaching style and makes an incredibly difficult course a little easier. That final was rough though.

    109B . Lewis R B 7 Months Ago

    I really love the way class is formated, and the fact that you have the previously recorded lectures on your canvas it helps fill in the gaps in my knowledge Having this option allows me to go back after attending the lecture and answering some of the questions I previously had. I think this is something Anyika should implement into her class.
