Focuses too much on his own research and doesn't correlate with the text book. He is useless for questions, but did keep lectures under 30 minutes most of the time. Watch out for his multiple choice questions.

He's teaching for a bit for the chm139 students. He's so boring, as soon as he talks, we're asleep! Most of his stuff are copied directly from the text book, and he doesn't add anything special to his lecture notes. One word: DULL

HORRIBLE prof. He could care less about his classes. Constantly makes mistakes. Obviously too lazy to go over his lecture notes beforehand, hence the reason he doesn't know what he's talking about. Makes a point of avoiding questions.

He is a CHARACTER. His coutures on his tall and skinny body, his disorganized lectures, his seemingly despise towards all students. Yes, he frustrates you with his seemingly lack of care and lectures difficult to follow. However, looking back, his tests were fair enough (for the most part) and that makes him ... alright.

Useless. Whenever he doesn't finish the slides for the lecture, he doesn't go back to it the next lecture&Sometimes it's around 20/50 slides. Ridiculous. Never walks you through the math examples. He just talks about what to do and spends around 15 seconds on the slide. I'd much rather have my high school teacher.

Great researcher; horrible professor. More times than not I leave his lectures wondering what the heck we actually talked about during the lecture. Doesn't really teach; tells us to read the textbook or just assumes we already know the material. I paid all that money just to read a textbook!
