Super chill and funny guy, the lectures are engaging and cover a significant amount of material. That being said the exams were incredibly long with only free response questions. Most people I know either didn't finish or barely finished each exam. Content in class is interesting but the material on the tests different and way more difficult.

Really good professor, but does sometimes go off course, especially when talking about the physics part, but it's not that big of a deal. The tests were fair, and he gave a lot of practice beforehand. He does demonstrations in class, which make it much more interesting and fun. As long as you don't slack off, you're fine.

Take this prof if you want to learn something.

told us to drop/switch majors if we got below a C on first midterm, topics discussed in lecture went beyond basic chem concepts. lectures were completely unhelpful in terms of preparing us for what would be on the tests

This class was atrocious. Compared to chem 1A, way harder and he made the tests super difficult to solve under time constraints. He's a good guy, but not a good teacher. His lectures weren't very helpful in learning but the practice exams were. Test included uncovered topics as well. Would not take him again.

Lectures were way easier than exams (LONG EXAMS). Said if you got an average score on midterm, you should drop the class, the second midterm was impossible. He rambled off-topic, office hours were overcrowded, and practice was far easier than exams. Exams were long and hard, morale tanked, many changed majors, class did so bad the curve was huge.

He's a funny guy but chem is hard. His lectures were difficult to conceptualize and a lot of people i know stopped going to lecture to self study instead. he goes a little overboard on physics concepts but the ta told us he js loves physics… he curves the final grade and his exams were tough so make sure to study.

i absolutely love this guy. he is very helpful in office hours and also responds to emails promptly which is very appreciated. he made lectures fun with demonstrations. tests were a little tough but he provides many practice problems that helps in preparing for them.

Amazing lectures, super detailed but went a little overboard. Great if you really want to understand chem, but definitely harder than the other profs. Tests were fair with lots of review and practice.

Really nice professor. His lectures went in depth on topics, especially with (not required) derivations, and always ended with a demonstration to keep things interesting. The tests were hard, but he posts a lot of review problems with worked-out solutions, so you know what to practice. OH are also really helpful if you don't understand something.
