This guy will give your money's worth and much more. Don't expect to leave early, and don't be a child on this man's class. Be good and kind and you will get A's like most of my class did. The one's that didnt were the ones that kept asking him how to do fractions on the board.

This teacher is Horrible, doesn't give any extra credit. Even after the hurricane he still makes the class hard. Questions on his review test are completely different from the test.he takes off points for little thing.Because of his lack of english when u write an answer he wants it his way. Maybe he needs a translating dictionary to correct paper

He does seem impatient at times, must be from his constant exposure to chemicals or that Red Bull drink I see him drinking before class.

I dont know why they rate him so great, his class is hard, he runs through the chapters too quickly, I was lost in that class, after every chapter there is a quiz and all those quizes are only worth 100 points, He gets agitated when you ask questions.

To any student that is considering taking this professor - know that his accent is thick when he gets excited and gets annoyed if he has to repeat himself - he does not give extra credit - he is not student friendly - and he goes extremely fast!! Chemistry is a language of its own and I would not recommend him - he should not be your first choice!

He is not the greatest professor. He teaches chemistry because he needs, not because he wants to, he said that in class. He is rude,rushes through the chapters, refuse to repeat himself, gets annoyed if you ask him a question. He not at all helpful. Majority of the class didn't understand him.

Of all the Professors that teach Chem, he probably offers the easiest approach. It is very easy to understand if you study the same day, that is the key, don't wait till the next day because the method he teaches you will be lost. His tests are reasonable but you must know how to do the calculations, he will usually tell you which one beforehand.

This professor has been teaching chem for quite some time - you can tell that he is not only extremely familiar with what he is teaching, but also what the students need more time with and what you'll need to know for future chem courses. Do NOT skip class, keep studying and make sure to do well the first test (he drops the lowest of 3).

Easy lab if you follow what he says in class. If you go to his office hours youll be fine. He is a tough grader for lab but that will teach you not to make the same mistakes. DONT FORGET YOUR UNITS IN YOUR CALCULATIONS!!!!! easy A. easy practical if you study well.

One of the favorite professors, he's so nice and if he sees you need help he will reach out and try his best. If you do all the hw and extra credit and try your best in the tests you shouldn't get less than a C. You really have to pay attention and practice and work for it.

Average professor. During the lab he is on his phone the entire time. He does not explain anything, and you go into class and do the lab yourself without any help or instruction. He takes off points for the smallest things. I would not recommend him to anyone.

A good professor. Chemistry is not my strong-suit but he teaches in a way that you're able to understand the material. Very approachable, willing to help out or clarify as much as he can. Homework is all online, so there's opportunity to get extra points there. Test are short, and nothing more than what he teaches in class. Take him!

He seems like a good guy knows his stuff but lab shouldnt be so BLAH. He wants you to do a summary before every lab and also wants you to do the pre and post lab but will only pick up the post and summary. No tests no quizzes. Just a final. The post labs are checked and graded by him and thats where he takes the most points away.
