Dr. Nunez really does care about his students, you just need to be willing to ask for help outside of class. Chemistry is hard, and often students blame their professor for things that aren't their fault. Dr. Nunez provides everything you need for the exams, it's just up to you whether you study outside of class to be successful.

He is the best. He still tutors me in CHE 107 and even the lab, and he's not even my professor anymore. He doesn't pretend he's "inaccessible" like most chem professors, he goes above and beyond to ensure the success of his students. If you want to pass CHE, pray you have Nunez or Woodrum. If not, I wouldn't even take the course. 10/10 professor.

He is good at making sure we know exactly the kinds of problems that will be on exams. He is also accessible, friendly, and caring.

Dr. Nunez is a great professor, but also seems like a good person in general. He provides clear teaching and is willing to help his students. Not to mention, he's also pretty funny.

I absolutely loved having Dr. A for CHE105. His swapped teaching style really helped me remember the content. That being said, if you have no background in chemistry, it is going to be tough. He will absolutely work with you to help you learn, but being a weed-out class you will struggle if you haven't already had chemistry in high school.

HW playposits are supposed to follow into the lectures, but Dr. Nunez's videos were so vague and in-descriptive, they didn't help me learn, visualize, or grasp our material. Therefore in lectures, he would passively solve 4/10 problems on a worksheet, and then send you off to complete the rest for attendance (I got a B with the other che professor)

It is a flipped classroom model, meaning you are expected to have an idea of the material before lecture. The playposits are relatively vague, but he is in-depth with his lectures.
