This was absolutely the worst class I have ever taken. I'm not a lazy student either. Those giving positive marks to this professor had a strong background in AP Chemistry before coming to UCSB DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Jokes more than he teaches. A cynic. No communication.Awful TA's. Took same class with a different professor next qrtr got an A+

Super awesome guy super fun class occasionally he goes on incredibly long tangents completely unrelated to material we are learning but he is so charismatic it hardly matters.

super enthusiastic and interested teacher. explains things well and homework is minimal. definitely recommend.

He is the BEST professor I have ever met at UCSB. He easily explained hard things. Often go to his office hours, and he will always give you something interesting. However, his TAs are useless and always teach the wrong stuff. Don't trust them, just go to ask the prof. He is always welcome to answer. He is nice and his tests are easy.

THE GOAT OF CHEM

Favorite Teacher at Ucsb so far

He's a great teacher, and using the practice problems he gives you from the textbook will help a lot when it comes to preparing for the tests. your grade is only based on 2 midterms and the final.

A very good professor!!!

He is enthusiastic. His exams are not hard but you cannot wait any second in order to finish the exam. Study hard and you can get good grade.

he is a very cool and nice guy. his lectures are fun and clear. he doesnt give much homework and exams are quite easy.

Prof AO is very passionate about chemistry. He can always bring up some funny things to keep us focus in class.

I always looked forward to his lectures. He clearly loves the material and he's enthusiastic about answering questions. Follows the book if you need clarification about how to do procedures (though you probably won't), since he prioritizes concepts in lecture and does everything on the board. He's a great guy, loved my quarter with him!
