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

Great Professor, very clear and direct about all the material. Easy to understand, overall great gen chem professor!

Professor Joseph is awesome! He's very clear with what he expects for his midterms and quizzes. Final was challenging, but study past exams and quizzes and you'll be fine.

Great Professor! If you can take him do so. He's the best chem Professor at UCSB in my opinion. Tests and quizzes are straight forward; however, the final was a little harder but not that bad.

Joseph is such a approachable guy, and he has a great sense of humor. His tests are very straightforward, but his finals was a little more difficult. He's such a great professor and an overall great guy.

Professor Joseph was a pretty easy professor. Midterms/quizzes were straightforward. Final was a bit more difficult than the rest of his tests but was not impossible. Extremely recommend taking Joseph for General Chemistry, clear and not too challenging of a teacher.

Great professor, makes sure you understand the concepts. Very good at lecturing, and also his midterms/quizzes are not too hard, but study for the final.

Great professor!! I did not understand chem at all before taking his class. He makes chem easier to understand and his test are very straightforward. As long as you pay attention in lecture the class is relatively easy :)

JoJo is such a great professor! The class was super interesting and it was never boring! The only downside is that the averages on his two midterms and final were both fairly low around 70% so the curve is hard to beat if you're in the middle like me. Very nice guy.

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!

I love Dr. Joseph! He is approachable and has a funny, sarcastic sense of humor. He is very clear when he lectures and always stops if people have questions. He genuinely wants his students to learn the material. His quizzes are straightforward and relatively easy, and the exams are very conceptually based. All around great guy and professor

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.
