Super awesome professor. Always willing to help and wants students to succeed. Tests can be a bit confusing but overall great professor and enjoyed this class.

Had Joseph for all three quarters of CHEM 1, really great professor!! Always takes him time with lectures and very helpful!! Definitely go to lectures, iClicker points will save your quiz. And definitely book problems!

-only curves class at end of quarter (got a 79% raw grade, curved to a B) -2 quizzes, 2 midterms, midterms and final averages were like a 79%, 59% and final was a C -iclicker daily for attendance, iclicker grade replaces lowest quiz score out of the 2 total quizzes (100% attendance 100% on 1 quiz) -good prof, concise and entertaining

Super chill guy and a great teacher. He takes the time to help you and make sure you understand the content. Also he is a very funny guy and this makes the lectures more entertaining. I really enjoyed taking his class.

He only gives out multiple choice and his tests are very difficult.

I was stuck on a problem, no one could help me, I desperately posted on the forum for help and after no one responded, i emailed the teacher. within just a few hours he responded on how to solve the problem clearly but without just giving me the answer. He has many tests from past years to help you study and overall tries to help you succeed.

Personally Joseph was the best professor I had for gen chem. It is an inherently difficult course however his exam were always fair. The book problems, practice exams, and concepts in lecture were all reflected in the exams if you study right none of the problems were entirely out of nowhere (an issue with some of the other gen chem profs lol)

Joseph's 1C was hardest in the gen chem series for me. I got A's in both 1A and 1B without doing any book problems, which is NOT an option for Joseph's classes. Follow his schedule of relevant book problems for each week, and really practice the ochem concepts (CLAS helpful for practice). Also, the actual tests do not look like the practice tests.

Like any chem class, it is difficult and very time-consuming, but Joseph gives you all of the tools necessary to succeed. It is one of those classes where you get back what you put in. I did almost all book problems (~3/4 hours a week) and studied extensively for exams (~15 hrs each). Fun lecturer and hard, but fair class

Crisjoe Joseph is such a cutie patootie! The class is hard but you can tell he cares. His lectures are funny and he is very honest about what you need to do / should do in order to succeed in his class.

This is a hard course, but I never felt cheated by a test question Joeseph gave. He gives u as many resources as he can for u to suceed: practice tests, book problems similar to the test and plenty of office hours. Joeseph makes this hard course as managable as he can. If taking gen chem I can't reccomend him enough

Really easy professor. Lecture slides and stuff he talks about sometimes don't line up and can be confusing. Wish he did more practice problems in class--book problems are much harder than what's covered in lecture. 2 midterms and final, all mcq. Cares a lot about students and chem.

Good professor, definitely one of the best in the chemistry department for the gen chem series. I feel like the lectures didn't really go deep enough though on the material we were tested on, but it makes sense because there's SO MUCH to learn and it's not really related at all or linear. For that reason, do as many book problems as possible.

Joseph is one of the best gen chem professors. Very clear lectures and great explanations. 1C is the easiest of the series and his tests are very similar to book problems and practice tests. HIghly recommend him for 1C and the gen chem series.

Love crisjoe but chem 1b is so bad. You can tell he really loves chem and loves teaching. He's super easy to talk to and doesn't make you feel dumb for not understanding something. He loves to take old test questions and just change the numbers slightly so the practice tests really help. Final isn't too bad either

Crisjoe is an excellent lecturer who explains concepts clearly. His tests are challenging, so stay on top of the recommended textbook problems and practice exams. Unstuckstudy AI was a lifesaver for preparing - highly recommend combining it with the other study tips.

Joseph really does care about his students. He wants us to feel confident in chemistry and acknowledges how hard the material is. Huge emphasis on book problems, which I did not really enjoy. I recommend him especially if you have good foundational chem knowledge from high school (he builds off AP Chem well). Final's hard, midterms are moderate.

Crisjoe is by far the best lecturer in the chemistry series. However, his tests are the hardest. I have sylvester now and joseph has everything SO organized. I am still watching his youtube lectures for 1c. WATCH THEM. before each lecture and as a review. He is so caring, understanding, and kind. Everyone loves Crisjoe! Tough class

Huge tip: Watch the lecture vids and take notes before class, then go to lecture and just listen to him talk while annotating. Exams are very difficult and require you to not just know HOW to do every problem but to actually know WHY you are doing it. If you do all book probs and practice tests + pay attention in class you'll do great.

Chem 1B is a hard class but Joseph makes it very easy to manage. He has very clear lectures and posts slides for every single chapter. There are 2 midterms and a final, with the lowest midterm replaced by the final if it helps you. He's the best general chem teacher in my opinion.

GOAT. Do the ALEKS! It will do nothing but help your grade and help you learn the content. Do his book problems, they will prepare you for the exams! Joesph is a fantastic lecturer and just a fantastic guy generally.

I had Joseph for 1A and 1B, and he was a great professor for both! He has a way of explaining concepts in the easiest way to understand. Chem is hard no matter who you have, but Joseph is def the best. Like 1A, his 1B tests are heavy on book and practice test problems, so study those well. Would've gotten an A if i didn't bomb the final lol

i took joseph for 1A and 1B and the class is obviously hard but you can tell joseph genuinely wants everyone to do well. i really like his lecture style and also just think he's a good person as well as prof. while chem is hard i believe the grade you get in his class reflects the work you put into it and i would recommend joseph 100%

BEWARE...
