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

This class was hard. the final was ridiculous. Don't take him please..

Quizzes were straight forward and so was the first exam.However, the second exam was 70% ochem and quite unfair. The final was ridiculous. He grades on a class curve not an individual one. If you average low scores up until the first midterm-drop because your chances of passing are slim. Not helpful at all. Would refuse to answer challenging Qs.

He is good at explaining the concepts, but he likes to use trick questions on his exam. He always makes his finals especially difficult. Other than that, the class is a breeze

So fun and so nice! Has a great sense of humor, and I feel like I finally understood Chemistry with him. Best Gen Chem professor at UCSB, if you have the chance to take his class, take his!

Great teacher! makes chem interesting. His test quizzes are easy, and the test are more conceptional. Make sure to write down even the random things he says, it will be on the test. final was easiest exam compared to the rest.

He is straightforward, but he based his exams around those of professor Price when I took his class so it was a little more difficult than I expected.

Pretty straight forward, I did not study for final got a B without much effort.
