JOSEPH C A
Did not like this class, and Joseph made it harder than it needed to be. On the first day said there is no curve, he wasn't lying. Lots of people cheat on exams and lower the curve, so lock in. Please complete the CLAS worksheets for the chapters; that's the most helpful. Sign up for CLAS; otherwise, there is a good chance you won't pass.
Crisjoe was the best stem professor I had in my first year here. Although a majority of learning happens outside of class, I feel like he went into depth on most topics, and clearly stated expectations for exams. Don't be scared if you do badly on tests, lowest I got was a 66% and ended with an A-. Highly recommend if u didn't take AP chem in hs
Make sure to do ALL the book problems and you will succeed. Huge emphasis on ALL book problems, no exceptions, plus Dr. Joseph is very kind outside of class.
Ppl love him, but he just puts up slides and talks at you, and it is so hard for me to learn like that. I literally can't tell what the most important thing to take in and remember for the tests is. Also, his practice tests are WAY easier than the actual tests and therefore not helpful at all.
Only time I've ever gotten a C in the class. I would come in prepared for tests and then totally fail them. I like him as a professor- he has lots of helpful material on his canvas, but for some reason those tests are super bad.
Really good at explaining main ideas but you have to do a lot of work outside of lecture to get a good grade. Book problems and ALEKS are really helpful. Puts questions from the book problems and midterms on the final.
