He is soo hot! making difficult to concentrate during his lectures, however he sends the notes + hw through email. not very helpfull in office hours, he talks too much about one problem and never gets to the rest. Attend lectures and you should be fine! hw, he doesn't collect it nor does he take attendance. Quizes are usually ten ?'s long.

ABSOLUTE G. i've never wrote a review for a professor but he deserves one. chem is difficult but he makes it so enjoyable. he does have long lectures but it's only for your benefit. he is so caring and only wants you to succeed. Whatever you do, make sure you take it with him. If u put in work u will get atleast a B in his class. GOAT!

Truly the best professor I have ever had. Although gen chem is hard, he goes out of his way to make sure his students succeed. He prepares you extremely well for exams with past exams and clear lectures. One of those professors who actually cares and wants you to learn. If you put in the effort, you will do well in this class. Highly recommend.
