This was a fun class. He grades the labs sheets very liberally....but watch out for the exams. Study for the exams. Have fun with the labs.

Very great professor. If you fail, it's all on you. His test are easy, only if you study. Nice guy, had alot of fun in his class. He helps students out on the tests by giving about 5 extra questions on every test. What more can you ask for?! I knew nothing about chm and left with alot and also passed with an A. You will learn alot! Very recommendab

he tells you exactly what you need...just do it and you'll be fine. His accent makes it kinda hard and also he's kinda rude.

LOL i am taking his class now! He is SO funny lol! GOD HELP YOU ppl if you ask him a question LOL

Dr. U is amazing! He likes the students who work hard and are on top of things! Be prepared for class and his class will turn out to be a lot of fun! When he talks, he isn't yelling, he just talks loud. He is a really nice person and pretty fun! Take him!! Just work hard and you can get an A!

He is a great teacher, just pay attention to what he says and turn your work in on time. I took him for CHM 1033 lab and he was helpful, he has an accent, but he is easily understood. If you are super sensitive and don't like criticism don't take his class because he will embarrass you in front of everyone. Take his class you will learn somethin

This professor is difficult, however, just like most science classes, you have to STUDY!! This is not the class to take if you want a free A!! You must study for this professor's class to pass! I have a B+ average right now for his 6 week course. Again, I study a lot!5% of your grade comes from your attendance, so go to class! No xtra credit given

God help you if you take this course! (inside joke to anyone who's ever had Dr. U) He is VERY knowledgeable in chemistry and is a great professor. You will likely need extra help, as he tends to rush through the material. Then again I am taking the 6-week summer session. Maybe he's different in a full length semester.

OK, I have to comment on this prof because I see a lot of negative feedback, obviously from immature and irrational students. If you are just getting out of high school and think college is high school, I tell you what, don't go to college. You need a little more maturing. This is the most logical teacher in this school. Msg continued.

Very organized, disciplined and logical teacher. If you don't like to study on your own don't take him. If you are willing to put in the effort to practice the material (YES! it is chm) then you will learn a lot. Great teacher he's like a book, but you do have to study. The negative FB is from young lazy students trust me. I got an A in 6 wk course

i took lab with him. This is a fairly easy class, all you need to do is go to class and try to do your labs. he wants you to pass. even if u fail the midterm and the final with a 0, u can still pass this class with a C. He can seem mean sometimes, but hes really not. he is a good teacher. recommend him for labs

Had him last semester and he was real cool. Always made us laugh and may seem mean sometimes, but really has your best interest at heart. Don't be too sensitive! Learn to take a joke and if you're having trouble with chem, read, get some prep books, and look for tutoring. Def. recommend him.

Great professor and very knowleadgble.You will learn alot from his class.You do have to study if you dont you will have anegative feedback. "if you listen, you will learn." Attendance is extra 5% so be there.

He is a good professor!!!! I took him in a 6 week course and I had to Study a lot!!! But it was all worth it in the end! If You get Mastering Chemistry and study all the power points for every Chapter.. You should be fine!!! That's what I studied and I got an A!! :)

This guy wants you to think he's mean, but he's a giant teddy bear. Show up to class, study, and get mastering chemistry like he recommends and you'll do excellent in his class. If he thinks you are making an effort, he'll work with you. If you have any problems, go see him during office hours. You will laugh in his class. Stop Talking!

This is a great preofessor, hes gradeing policy is a bit strict, no extra credit but if you study you will definately pass. Test question are basic and to the point, he i a nice funny guy but expects you to work for your grade. i dont regret taking him

I took him for lab. He is a great instructor. He's very funny and makes the class interesting. Attendance is mandatory, labs aren't too complicated. Just make sure to listen when he's explaining, because he does not like to repeat himself. Instead of him answer your question, he will get you to answer your own question. Take him!

This professor is excellent. Very thorough. IF HE WRITES IT ON THE BOARD-IT'S ON THE TEST. Once you get that and you study...that's your "A". You definitely want to take him.

Professor Urhoghide is great! He explains the concepts thoroughly in a way that is easy to understand. You just have to do a lot of self studying. Don't expect for any science class to be easy. Know the material in the book.READ! Do the practice questions in the book! There are 4 exams. chp.1-17. Skipped chp.9 and 18.No extra credit assignments.

Great prof! Makes subject easy/tests are very straight-forward & easy. (I ended the semester with over 100%-he put 2-5 extra credit questions on tests). Can be abrupt in class with repetitive questions-go to his office hours for extra help (very helpful/friendly/patient). Can be very sarcastic-not for you if you are very sensitive or offendable.

Dr. Urhoghide is strict but concern with your progress. the best thing you can do to pass his class is being early, using your book as your best friend, and making all the quizzes that the code and the book has. he said that there is not extra credit. you will notice in the test that you don't need extra credit assignment. thanks Dr. Urhoghide

He is a great professor, really knows his material. He is also HILARIOUS, always kept the class laughing. A little strict in regards to expecting you to at least have read the material before class. Great experience overall!

Dr. U is an awesome professor. He really cares about his students. He gives hands on examples in class so that you can truly understand the subject. He breaks it down. He give 4 multiple choice test, drops the lowest of the first 2. Gives reviews. And extra points for coming to every class. HE ANSWERS QUESTIONS. He is hilarious :)

Dr. Urhoghide is very strict, but he is a good professor not the best but not the worst. He will explain your answer in his sarcastic way but overall he is not so bad as he pretent to be.Just dont be afraid to ask him.

he is a very good professor. Entertaining, funny and teaches very well. I would recommend him to everybody. I absolutely love him!

He is a very good professor and he makes Chemistry easy. He gives extra credits , he also use every day life to explain things so that you can remember that in the test. Overall the one of the best at Miami dade College

I felt that he teaches CONCEPTS and covers all portion on time, he tests on what he teaches in class, so take his notes. He is funny, but he doesn't appear so on day 1. Must buy CHM text book for his class. Tests are not that hard, gives extra questions to help students. I felt this professor very helpful in teaching CHM1033, i recommend him.

This professor is amazing. Don't expect to get a good grade without studying be serious about it, he gives reviews before every test. He is truly a professional who loves his job and does his job with remarkable enthusiasm.

Contrary to a good number of reviews on here, the professor is more than fair to his students and goes the extra mile, giving bonus questions in tests and eliminating the lowest-scoring test from the final grade computation. The subject is not easy, but you will be rewarded accordingly if you work hard for it. Would take his class in a heartbeat.

Awesome teacher, very clear explanations, I only had for the lab but I wish I had him for lecture. Easy to pass as long as you come to class and complete the labs. He allows you to work with someone on ALL experiments. I definitely recommend.

He often treats little kids with disrespect, so I had to correct him the first time he attempted to do so with me. Henceforth he was very helpful to me at least. Explains things rather clearly but expects you to know the material from lecture, which I was rough with because of Vinciguerra. Labs are easy and interesting, but you must study hard!

The professor is very professional, polite, clear and direct. He is very thorough in explaining class expectations at the beginning of the semester & before experiments. His only requirement is the student's accountability, no excuses. My only request would be a review prior to midterm and final exams, or at least a guide as to what to expect.

He doesn't like repeating himself and with the detailed explanations he gives, he shouldn't have to. Class was always fun and interesting and I learned so much.

Professor Urhoghide is a great professor. He makes the class interesting and fun at the same time with his jokes. Takes time to explain questions and shows that he cares. Don't expect that you're going to get an easy A if you don't study. Overall it was a pleasure to be in his class and if i had to take him again i would do so

best professor at dade, he is tough but YOU WILL LEARN and he is funny

I took this professor in spring '14 and still think about him! I honestly wish I could take this class AGAIN just for the pleasure of being in his class. I worked very hard to earn my A but he is such a fantastic professor! He definitely tries to make sure you understand what he is talking about. I will always remember you Professor!! THANK YOU!!

I was afraid to take him due to the reviews on here, but I'm glad I took him for CHM1033L. I worked very hard for my grade. His lectures were great and the experiments were fun. If you fail his exams and course, either you didn't do your own labs, missed days or didn't pay attention to him. He's a very GREAT professor.

He's a great professor!! He loves science, he's passionate and knowledgeable. I had him during summer A (Saturdays!) And yesss he made my Saturdays worth a while. I learned a lot and he also made the class fun. I wish I would of taken him for a longer term!!!

Recommend He's very good professor

Come to class. Bring your book. Tests are multiple choice.

ok, i had him for a 6 week class too, he's not like that person underneath mentioned, he's a great prof and tells you things straight forward from the start. if you fail that is your fault, you must study and read and write gooood notes, but he's awesome and super smart ! i'd take him again

He is a good professor. Every time I had any question, I went to his office during office hours, and he helped me. Of course, you have to be prepared for each experiment. If you study well for the tests, you should do well. Take his class if you actually want to acquire lab skills. Recommended.

Excellent professor. I actually learnt from the labs. Just be ready for every lab, study hard for the tests, and if there is something you don't understand, make use of office hours.

Great professor!!!

Easiest lab ever. Great professor. Would take it again.

Great professor!!! Would take him again!

Great professor but if you want to pass read the textbook and make sure you spend at least 2-3 day to study for the exam if you want to ace your test. I took his 6 week course for reference.

Everyone who has complained about this professor needs to grow a pair! Do not take his remarks or attitude serious. He is not malicious. Do your work, participate and he will pass you or boost your grade if you are short a few to go to the next grade. He is funny and wants you to work hard and broke down the material fairly simple.

I was scared to take him because of all the bad reviews but hes actually not bad. Take Notes and Read the chapters and you should be fine. Visit his office hours if you need help.

All of the people complaining are the same ones that expect the professors to do their work for them. No, this class is not an easy A. But if you pay attention in class, read the material and study on your own you will pass this class. The professor might come off as rude but he actually cares about his students.

He's a cool guy. He's a pretty decent professor, although his accent can be a barrier in understanding sometimes. If you ask him questions during lecture, he may brush it off; but if you see him during his office hours, he will gladly answer your questions. He's a better professor than some give him credit for, or lack thereof.

If you dont read the book you wont pass. Simple as that. He dont grade homework. Grade depends on quizzes and the final. Hes lectures makes no sense, I only got an A cause I read the book.

Dr. U is a great professor, everything bad written about him is a lie. His test are easy if you study and he gives a test review so you know what the test will be like. He is honestly a great professor.

I honestly dont know why he has such bad ratings on here. Hes one of the best professors ive had so far and actually made me like chemistry. If you study and pay attention, youll pass the tests for sure. He also helps out a lot when it comes to extra bonus points. Super nice and straightforward guy! Makes the class entertaining

I had him for organic chem 1 & 2 and... -organic chem is hard, but hes not a bad professor. -he gives sometimes 3-5 extra credit points on his test out of 30 questions. -the tests are hard but if you follow along with the textbook, you should do well. -he actually cares about your success. Go to his office hours if something is unclear.

A lot of people can be off put by the way he teaches his class and use of language, english isnt his first. His tests include many opportunities for extra credit. It may take some time to get used to the way he teaches. His lectures are clear and concise and he cares about his students LEARNING and understands that we learn at different paces.

He is the BEST chemistry professor ever. I loved this class because he taught this difficult subject so clear and concise. I actually learned more than expected from this class. Make sure you study & attend every class so you don't fall beyond. Just 4 tests, no homework, & no quizzes. Apply yourself for a easy A. This is college young people!

He is funny and makes the class fun. He cares for his students and gives good advice. 4 tests only and they all have extra credit questions

Dr. U is a funny and entertaining Professor. DO NOT DO THE STUDY GUIDES. THEY ARE NOTHING LIKE THE TEST. READ THE ENTIRE CHAPTERS and do the problems in that chapter. ONLY WAY to pass the tests. Go to his office and show him you are studying. This will help you in the end. You will live in the chemistry lab. Form study groups. His class is fun.

I truly think he is an an amazing professor. He gives 5 tests no homework and study guides for every test. recommends to do the practice problems in the chapters and has taken some of his tests questions for this. Book is useful but his notes and teaching style are great and you will learn. To the point. Strict w attendance. Totally recommend

Professor Urgohide is actually nice. Chemistry is already a hard topic so I'm guessing there are bad reviews on here. The professor is straight to the point. No homework and you don't really have to read on your own. Just follow the power point and take notes during lectures. Our grade consisted pf 4 exams and attendance.

Do not believe negative reviews. Dr. Urhoghide is not hard he just likes things done in a specific way. He has few assignments which consist of 20 lab reports (watch videos/google) and 1 midterm, 1 final. Attendance is mandatory. Do not ask silly questions that he has already answered or that is on the syllabus. Do not expect to be babied. Easy A.

He's cool but I'm still upset at the fact that you have to not miss class to get a grade when doing your lab homework.

He was a very sweet professor and made the class super easy. Although he does gives 4 exams or 5 i don't remember lol. But trust me he is great!

He doesn't give homework assignments but we had to do 4 exams! He's nice I don't understand why people hate on him. He's not that bad. He is strict and if you follow his rules you shouldn't have no problem with him.

Dr. Urhoghide is a great professor, very organized and clear on grading criteria.

Pay attention to the lectures, take notes, study the powerpoints and you will pass. Lectures are recorded, so you can rewatch them. He does have an accent but it wasn't too hard to understand imo. The only grades we had were tests, no homework. He will drop the lowest grade out of tests 1-3, but test 4 is mandatory. If you have questions, ask him

His class isn't that bad but make sure you pay attention. He gives until the next class to finish lab reports so don't procrastinate like I did. He drops the lowest two lab grades. Study the labs for the midterm/final since the questions are based on the work you did. If you're going to ask him a question, make sure you know what you're asking.

I took this class online, cameras are not required all the time. But for the test they must be on. The homework assignments are pretty simple, most of the material from the website we used were apart of the tests. Very simple and easy course, you just need to pay attention!

I love Professor Urhoghide, he is hilarious and if you show respect and interest he will go out of his way to help you and make sure you get a good grade. His labs are easy, the only thing that needs to be turned in is the data sheet and questions from the book. His exams are related to the post-labs, if you study them you are good! GREAT LABS!

Professor Urhoghide is GREAT, I was very scared from the reviews but I am glad I took him, he is super funny, caring, and will help you if you show interest and dedication. I dont know how he's in lectures, but take his lab and you will pass if you put in effort. Do not take him if you are lazy, miss classes, or are always late, he is not for you.

Dr uroghide was a good proffesor despite, his class consist of just 4 tes

Dr Uroghide was a great professor despite his reviews, his class consist of grading based off 4/5 test(he drops lowest grade). He knows his stuff and if u do bad or fail in the class its completely on you, he teaches pretty good and explains everything thoroughly

Professor Urhoghide is a great teacher for those who put in the effort and know how to study well. The class consists of only three out of four tests; the lowest of the first three gets dropped. He gives five points for attendance and may round up the final grade. It's not an easy class, but with proper dedication, it is doable.

Very knowledgeable in his subject and gives the materials needed to learn. yeah he can be rude at times, but honestly as long as you are in his good side, follow all procedures, you should be fine. Test were usually different from the lab. he gives all instructions needed for lab you just hav to follow them

This professor makes a tough class easier to understand. You have to study a lot for the four exams, but he explains things clearly and answers all your questions. Chemistry feels less complicated with him. Even though it's challenging, I'd take the class again because I learned a lot. He's polite
