Rambles a lot without making a point.

His grading rubric was not clear at all. The assignments were graded very subjectively by him and his TA. A lot of reading and writing is awaiting if you want to attend CHEM 149.

Absolutely the most disorganized and least caring professor I have ever seen. Strangest grading and sometimes even breaks promises. Avoid him at all cost. Too bad for rmp to not have 0 as an option.

hes nice, but not the best lecturer. He does the inverted classroom setup but then gets really distracted by random topics and ends up wasting time so you have to work harder on your own time. he also will end up arguing with undergrads and not realize hes wrong so thats frustrating TLDR: hes the super boomer. not bad just not as smart anymore

One of the worst classes I've had the displeasure of taking. Reich does not lecture, so you have to teach everything to yourself by scouring the textbook. Smart prof, but with very flawed pedagogy. With the amount of content covered, the lack of actual lectures makes this class an enormous pain, even if you find the subject interesting like I do.

For the love of god do NOT be a biochemistry major in the chem department unless you are positive you want to be a biochemistry researcher. The 1 year lab series with Kalju Kahn is 60-70+ hours of work a week and will destroy your GPA (go see his ratemyprof). Chem majors, Reich is the easier choice for 142A. Premeds, read the first sentence again.

iClickers & in-class assignments are worth about 25% of your grade. Uses a flipped classroom model but doesn't answer any questions once you're in class. He'll throw up questions that aren't pertinent to the material you're going over, but expects you to be able to "think like a scientist." Sarcastic and rude to students. Terrible professor.

great professor, those who complain don't put in much effort and don't do well; it's a tough subject, but reich makes it better. Go to class, study, and you'll be fine

Reich was given a grant to run this class discussion style. It's heavily question based so you have to read the material in detail before coming to class. Very little material presented in class; we usually spend the hour making snarky comments and arguing about answers (biochem banter). The tests are hard with a heavy focus on experimental design.

Asks horribly worded questions ALL the time, on homework, quizzes, and even exams. Part of the challenge is understanding the what he's trying to say. For example, "Compare and contrast the role of Ca2+ as a secondary messenger, and its reliance on calmodulin." Uhh, compare and contrast to WHAT?? Jeez.. You just have to ignore parts of the sentence

He's easily one of the worst professors I've ever had. Can't write a coherent sentence to save his life, unwilling to answer questions, doesn't lecture and expects you to read the terribly written book instead to learn everything. Gives insufficient time for tests intentionally. Unless you are a a genius you'll probably fail or get a C at best.

Mediocre at best. He's trying to employ a new teaching technique that is more interactive which in theory would be great but in practice kind of sucks. His quizzes online and questions in class are full of errors. Also he's rude. He only gives A, B, C, D, and Fs. No +/-s and the class is curved to a C. Try to avoid him.
