I think joseph is a pretty good professor. he goes faster than price, but his office hours are really helpful. if you want to do well in the class than make sure you go to all office hours and read all his slides. this quarter there was a pretty big curve (82% for an A-) because the final was really hard.
Joseph's lectures are really good, but his assessments are in no way representative of the material nor what you know about the topic. The "practice" that he gives is helpful for half of it, but unless you've read the entire book you're not going to have any idea what to do for the other half. Your grade has more to do with luck than effort.
Not organized at all. 1C is pretty messed up already. His lecture and his horrifying slides make it worse. He likes to test you on stuff in the book that he DID NOT go over in lecture. And his voice is annoying. I don't understand why people speak highly of him.
Really amazing professor who truly cares about his students. Could not recommend more. I got an A- and thought his test questions were extremely fair and not as tricky as they could've been. Really prepares you for Chem-109A well, and gives great lectures.
Joseph was a great chemistry professor. He is very relaxed, but also goes kinda fast in his lectures. He is very fair with grading, and he is very accessible outside of class. The curve is really small in Chem 1C in general, so don't expect much. Work hard, and you will be fine. He really cares about his students succeeding.
Do all the book problems and you'll definitely pass. He's the only chem professor that offers few points of extra credit. Chem is hard but Joseph definitely makes passing possible.
I love Crisjoe. I've had him as a professor twice now and he's an incredible lecturer when it comes to Chemistry. Some profs just don't know how to teach those tough ochem topics but I never struggled in his class. He's also pretty funny and is playful with students while remaining professional.
Dr. Joseph is one of the most underrated chem profs, and imo the best chem prof. He makes everything very clear and easy to understand. The tests are easy to ace as long as you do some book problems, ALEKS, and the practice tests. He's very reasonable and willing to help students outside of class. IT'S ON THE MONEY!
Hands down the best chem professor on campus. I had feldwinn my first two chem classes and then got joseph for chem 1c. He made chemistry much easier, and so much more interesting. He's a funny guy who really knows his stuff. If you get the chance to take any chem classes with him, DO IT. Do practice exams and book work and you will get an A.
His tests and quizzes are not at all what was expected from his lectures. However, you can predict what will be on the tests slightly since he reuses some of the previous quiz's questions. There are a lot of opportunities to redeem yourself if you don't do very well the first half of the quarter. Definitely requires a lot of studying with him.
I had Joseph for 1A and 1C, and I believe he is a solid lecturer and he wants to see his students succeed. Make sure to utilize his practice quizzes and tests, because he structures the new questions in a similar way. His tests are difficult but reading the book definitely helped me with topics that he skimmed over in lecture. It's on the money!
He was okay overall. Focused on readings more than Price did which messed me up on iClicker questions and made me confused on some concepts, but I choose not to read the book for this class because it only confuses me. Lectures were pretty dull and the powerpoints could be written better.
He makes his lectures easy to follow, but he does go quickly through the topics. You gotta be on top of your game especially nearing the last half of the quarter. Test questions are mainly covered during lecture so I highly recommend you pay attention. Don't let the Spring-quarter-mindset get the best of you, you still gotta work for that grade.
Joseph is a great teacher and is more than willing to offer help but his tests are tough and I had to study considerably more than I did in previous quarters. He leaves some important details out of lecture so doing many book problems is critical to success. Devote alot of time to understanding conceptual themes in order to be prepared for exams
Crisjoe is very organized as an instructor. He's tests are consistent but a little tricky (at least for 1C). I only ever had him for 1C, but I recommend him over others. He is serious about giving a good education and expecting a lot out of his students. He leaves some details out of his lectures and expects you to know them on the test.
He's really funny and sarcastic - I think the sarcasm offends some people but it's pretty entertaining. Tests are very difficult but also fair - you have to study obviously. He posts lectures online which is great and provides practice tests, recommends book problems, etc. to help you prepare. If you do the work and go to class you'll do fine.
His lectures are clear. His tests are extremely difficult though and some of the questions on them aren't covered by him. Amusing at times and seems willing to help.
He is a great lecturer honestly just boring most of the time, but if you actually pay attention he is really helpful. I clicker points are really helpful because they replace a quiz score so make sure to go to class . Course is hard but book problems and all the practice exams are great practice for the actual exams, they're truly helpful
Overall a great professors. Puts you to sleep sometimes because of his boring voice, but if you pay attention he's actually a great lecturer. Answer the sent email questions before lecture because they'll prepare for the lecture material. Also, do all the book problems and past quizzesexams to help you prepare for his quizzes and exams.
Terrible professor- spent majority of lecture time explaining material not tested in midterms and ignored going over material that was on them. He was also quite rude to students who came to his office hours for help.
Two quarters with Joseph and I'd argue that he is the best Gen Chem professor at the school. He speaks very clearly and he knows exactly what he's talking about. For the most part, quizzes/exams are fair. He does include tricky questions on pretty much every test, but it's most likely to emphasize the curve (the best get A's and so on).
Great Professor! He has a good sense of humor and can lecture very well. Final was a little tricky, but study up before hand and you should do fine. Best professor ive had for chem.
This class was pretty difficult compared to Chem 1B. But he's a great teacher, explains everything crystal clear and allows time for questions during lecture. The final was really hard though, beats me how's that I got a good grade on it.
Joseph made the lectures all very clear, but when it came time for midterms and finals, he put on a lot of trick questions that we barely went over. It's kind of like Price's tests except Price curves the tests much more than Joseph does so Joseph is actually much harder to pass
