Take Dr. Madiyar. Chemistry classes are hard on their own but she at least makes lectures enjoyable and engaging, just be sure to use office hours and discussion periods to answer your own questions. This class is hard if you don't use your resources but you can get an A by Studying hard an if you truly put in the effort to understand all material.

Shes really nice and you can tell she enjoys the subject a lot. Your grade consists of really difficult exams only so make sure youre studying everyday. The grading scale will probably be curved twice so base yourself off the class average instead to avoid unnecessary mental breakdowns throughout the semester.

Shes a great professor and is actually good at explaining material if you dont understand and wont make you feel bad about it. Shes very approachable and quite funny! She provides a lot of resources for you to practice and ask questions. Its up to you to study and follow along. Class is doable but definitely difficult. Loved Peterson!

Professor Madiyar is a great lecturer and probably the best chem professor I have had so far. My only issue is the material is difficult especially coming from Chem2. It is a big transition, and more challenging examples/practice problems would have helped. It is still difficult to succeed because of the grade breakdown, as tests are all ur grades

The tests are extremely difficult and often contain questions loosely relating to the material that was taught. You're essentially expected to teach yourself and master the subject at the level of a PhD student. She does not grade fairly and is rude and condescending. Beware: many reviews here appear to be written in the same way she writes.

The things that Dr. Madiyar did cover for us, she covered well. Unfortunately, that was about a third of the actual content of the class, the other two thirds we had to study ourselves. If the professor wasnt even present it wouldn't have much impact on the class overall. Great person though! Just not very great professor.

Great professor! With the tests, she is interested more in the process than if you arrived at the right answer. As long as you know what you are doing, even if you can't finish a problem you'll still get the majority of the credit. She showed enthusiasm for the course content and was overall a great professor.

Grading criteria was always changing, BUT she listened to students if we felt something was unfair. She cared about everyone succeeding, and she's a good person, but wasn't the best professor because her teaching style was really disorganized. Tough grader, but gave full credit for the last assignment so the whole class wouldn't fail the final

Dr. Madiyar is an excellent professor.

This class is not required, do not take it. Dr. Madiyar does not enjoy biochemistry (and told us this) and that is clear through her teaching. She writes everything on the board with little explanation and scrolls through pages and pages of notes. Any biochemistry I learned was outside of class. Near impossible to do well in.

The lab was a bit of a joke. The whole idea was to publish a paper off of what we did- but what we did didn't really work. The procedure wasn't explained very well and her TA seemed to better understand what we were doing than she did. I guess it could've been cool, but it wasn't run very well.
