Do not take if lazy. Excellent Teacher. Best I've had at CC over last 3 yrs

Powerpoint notes are great. One of the best instructors. Sexy guy too!!

Fun class. Excellent Teacher. Knows his stuff.

Relates topics to real world. Easy to follow. Pay attention and you'll do well

Excellent doesn't rush through &answers all ?'s patiently w/ dedication.

He's a good teacher and is willing to do anything to help, but hasn't patients for those whom ask stupid questions or don't pay attention. If you're a serious student I would highly reccommend him, if not, take Faber.

Excellent instructor! To be sucessful in this class: go to every class meeting, take good notes, and ask question. If you put in the time and work you will be rewarded.

Nice guy, willing to help if you don't understand a something and offered a lot of points of extra credit. Offers powerpoint notes online and has exam review sheets.

Dr liburd is a hard teacher but he knows his stuff, i loved the powerpoint notes because i could pay attention in class instead of writing. If you actually want to learn something he is a great teacher but you must be willing to do some work as well.

Mr. Liburd is a good teacher. i just think that people don't like him because they don't want tp think. He is very nice. If you want to get CM103 get him as a professor you won't regret it.

Very good teacher. He gives great examples to help you understand what he is talking about. You can do well in this class if you studing and if you have a question just ask and he is happy to help.

Good teacher, he really wants you to do good in his class. He gives you lots of opportunities for points in his class. I had never taken chemistry in my life, and I got an A!

It's a tough class, but I think he does a good job of explaining things. I can tell that he's very intelligent, and we have some very interesting class discussions.

he's an okay teacher...

Well, when I first saw Dr. Liburd's rating on this site, it made me bit nervous about taking him. But after two semesters with him, its obvious that many of the people who rated him here don't know what they're talking about. He's a really intelligent guy, and a great professor. On top of that, he's a nice guy too.

Loved his style! Made a difficult and boring subject understandable and interesting. I never expected to pass this course and got an A!

Ok whoever has given him a bad rating is retarded! he was a very GOOD teacher, VERY helpful (answered every question I had, even if he had to ask me a question in order for ME to think of the answer... THAT'S HOW YOU LEARN!) If you follow instructions & aren't LAZY then you'll do fine in the class! HIGHLY recommended! Very passionate about teaching

He is a very difficult teacher, taking his class will require a great deal of work, he is however a very nice guy and extremely smart. To get an A in the class you must put time into the class and study a lot, his tests are pretty difficult so make sure you know the material very well. All in all you will be more prepared for future classes.

Excellent teacher,most comments for this prof was very unfair, he made chemistry an easy class for me.i changed my future career from Eng. to Pharmacy due to his help, he will never make you crame anything,he gives all formulas on the test, all his test and quizes are practical applications, i truely recommend any future science majors to take him

Best Chem. teacher i have ever encounted.very smart and practical.only lazy students can rate him bad, probably some rate him bad due to his accent.excellent teacher for future science students, nothing to crame, all his test are practical,he gives all formulas on exam day. Be a student and u can get an easy A. Execellent teacher!very considerate.

Just a little boring but good teacher, litterally. Prepare notes, test, syllabus very carefully. Good update informations online.

ur going to have to study any way you look at it but he knows what he is talking about and is willing to help

He knows his stuff and is a very good instructor. His lectures can also be funny.

Dr. Liburd is a very fair teacher. Every point in his class is as important as the next. He gives a chance for extra credit on each exam. He is willing to explain IF you ASK. He does require you to learn. Online homework is very time consuming, must keep on top of it. Online quiz's easy because they are all open book/internet + 2 attempts

He is a very smart, fair teacher, All homework is online with infinity attempts. Quizs online with 2 attempts, what more could you want I learned alot from him. Now Jennifer Batten on the other hand should have been an English Teacher, Love Liburd! Very Understanding, helps with anything!

Dr. LiBurd was a GREAT teacher!! I was nervous @first, but stuck with it and did great! He is very passionate about chemistry and very organized! Everything that you had to study for on an exam was on the review A WEEK PRIOR! Very organized, tests I found to be easy because of the review! I'm happy to have had Chem with him!!

I thought he was very smart and on the ball!! Loved him and learned a lot! He was hard, but Chemistry is a hard subject for anyone to get. Now Jennifer Batten is terrible, I don't wish her upon my worst enemy!

hes good.

I absolutely loved Dr Liburd. I really learned a lot from him. I would suggest not missing a class because it will put you behind. If I had another chem class to take I would make sure he was my professor. He was always willing to explain things again if needed. The only thing I disliked was all the homework was online.

I had him for Gen Chem 2 and he is not as bad as the reviews. It obvious he has a passion for topic by how he has fun in lab and lecture demonstrations. Onhestly the people who struggled in my class were those who did not understand the math. sorry thats chemistry. Is accent is not hard to understand.

Good guy. knows his stuff. after a few weeks you don't even notice the accent anymore. lots of possible points and opportunities to score well. you better know your math.

I feel he was a great professor. I can't say his class was easy, but personally I'm glad he didn't make it easy. He is a nice guy and teaches well, and makes it possible to enjoy learning.

Liburd can keep chemistry fresh and provide great examples. There are online quizzes and HW assignments, but he gives reminders every class. Perfect scores are hard to come by, except for the HW and some quizzes. In my opinion, his Caribbean accent suits chemistry lectures well.

I had Dr. Liburd for lab only and I liked him. He's a really nice guy, very helpful if you ask, and does a good job explaining the lab and how to do it before you begin. There are quizzes at the beginning of each lab, so make sure you study it before class. I loved his accent too.

Great teacher! He's really passionate about what he does, you can tell in his lectures. It is a very tough class, and you definitely have to work for a good grade. Make sure to ask questions if you don't understand something; he's more than happy to go through topics more than once.

I took his lab, he's hard to understand sometimes.. If you go into depth on your labs you should do fine. Read your labs before lab, there's quizzes in the beginning of class that are fairly easy but you need to have read the lab to get points. I got an A in lab and didn't try that hard, just did the labs and quizzes. NO TESTS THANKFULLY.

I loved Dr. Liburd's teaching style. He is clear that his lectures and your notes are the best materials to study, as he doesn't reference the book hardly at all, so why study it? Yes, it is a hard class, but chemistry will always be challenging. He also gives the option of being exempt from the final exam, so what could get worse than that.

For CHM 130, it was the first science class that I enjoyed. Every minute of class is used for lecture, but he explains things many times so that it is clear what we are covering. While somethings being covered are difficult, he does what he can to help students do well.

Mr. Liburd is a very likeable guy. His lectures aren't anything remarkable, but he really seems to care about his students. The homework is challenging, but he gives chances for extra credit, and at the end of the course he will drop a few of your lowest grades. You won't have to take the final exam if you get an 88% or above which is super nice.

Any chem lab should be more than 1 credit, but this prof was very helpful with answering any questions. He is very approachable and accessible outside of class. Labs are as hard or difficult as you make them depending on how much you look ahead and your lab partner. No textbook; just print labs at home.

Prof Liburd is great! I had to retake his class because chemistry is hard, but the second time around he change up how he does things. He's very understanding, energetic and just a great guy. He gives 4 tests one or two will be open note and you are exempt from the exam if you get a B+ or better! 10/10 would recommend him. Don't take any other Prof

Despite having to quickly change to online teaching due to COVID, Dr. Liburd did a fantastic job adjusting. He is very responsive and understanding to any questions you may have on the course material. The Homeworks/Quizzes are challenging but are great for understanding the material. When taking this course it helps immensely to study everyday.

He gave good detailed lectures that went through multiple practice problems that were likely to be seen on the homework and test. In addition, he was very open to answer questions and asked us multiple times during the lecture if there were any questions.

Took the hybrid course. The professor was really nice and quick to respond- always encouraged students to ask questions and took time to go over them. Extremely flexible with assignment deadlines. Chemistry is a tough subject. For this course, I would recommend going through his PowerPoints, prerecorded lectures, and practice as much as you can

Lectures for almost all of class and can be hard to pay attention to. There are 8 homework sets in the semester about 25 questions each with 6 attempts, quizzes are online with 2 attempts around 15 questions. Exams are difficult and cover a LOT of content. You really have to show up, participate, actively take notes, and use outside resources.

Very Knowledgeable on the subject and you can tell he has a deep understanding of the material. Quite personable and his accent is not that hard to understand. Though the material is quite difficult and the tests cover a lot of material.

The professor and the class subject DO NOT MIX like a HETEROGENOUS SOLUTION. Professor Liburd's teaching methods can be very difficult to understand and I would find myself seeking help from other sources. Professor Liburd is a great man with great intentions but with a class average on tests being 50-70 you have to question the teacher's methods

Unless you're one of the VERY few whom chemistry comes easy to, if ur Dr Liburd you should expect to spend around 5-10 hours a week on chemistry. He's kind and cheerful however, the way he paced my class was awful. We only had a week left to go over the last 3 chapters. The final exam was made up of 50% of the last 2 chapters. LAST RESORT CLASS

Dr. Liburd is a very sweet person always smiling and happy to get to know to you. However, he is a tough grader. The final is tough. Study throughout the semester. He vey strict grader but he does drop the lowest pre-lab and lab. He also wants you to succeed and he is not afraid to take away 0.10 from. Study, listen to him, and you be fine.

CHM100 is the easiest chemistry course that the college has to offer, so that's probably why everything was open-note – the quizzes, tests, and final exam. A nice guy, quick to reply to emails. Weekly assignments: read a chapter from the textbook, do the homework (graded for completion), and take the chapter quiz. 3 discussion boards – 2 posts each

He's a tough grader, but it helps you improve. He usually marks off by a small portion of a point, so little things don't set your grade back too much. He's a very kind guy and I'm excited to take his lab again this winter. To be fair though, I've only had him for lab thus far.

This class will be hard if you don't apply yourself and show up. If you do apply yourself and participate in class it will make a lot of difference. Homework is graded on completion and he doesn't have problems giving you extensions. Responds to emails very fast and is helpful!
