Started my first semester with this guy for chem of soln and it was hell. You prob wont understand anything in class and each units is like 200 slides of notes. Known to be the worst chem teacher in department. Hard tests and finals exam:( avoid this guy

very bad at explaining. DO NOT get him for a teacher, he's one of the worst teachers i've ever gotten. he expects you to know stuff you haven't even learned in class. my grades literally depended on the labs, because everything else from his class was badly explained and taught!!

This teacher is condescending to all his students, gives super hard tests with averages in the 50's, expects us to know everything like we have been studying chemistry for years, and refuses to give practice problems as it's "a waste of his time." Do not choose this teacher, or if you get put into his class, drop it asap. Had to take an incomplete.

Lets just get one thing clear. DO. NOT. TAKE. THIS. CLASS. He doesnt teach, he preaches and expects you to know it all already. When asked to clarify items from the lectures he often responds Just trust me. Im a chemist. He talks down to you like youre some kindergartener and does not put in any effort to the class. DONT TAKE HIS CLASSES.

Don't take this mans class if you have the choice. Tests were extremely difficult and he doesn't give anywhere close to the amount of time students should receive to take them, sometimes he just puts topics he covered for thirty seconds in class on the tests and they're almost half the marks on the test. Lectures are terrible too Tells doesnt teach

Drop while you can. Just awful.

Condescending, talks about concepts instead of teaching them, expects we already know material before he teaches it. Test class averages so far this semester are all fails. Drop if you can!

Having this teacher online was very difficult. His notes consist of a very long PowerPoint and often are vague and not very detailed. He goes through topics very quickly and doesnt provide thorough explanations when people ask questions. Unit tests are difficult, weekly quizzes. Must read the textbook and use external sources to be test ready

His lectures are designed for people who already excel in chemistry and don't have any difficulties. The only reason why you would want the guy is if you are extremely talented in chemistry because you can expect a very low-class average enabling good R score opportunities. Be ready to hear his famous catchphrase: "Trust me I'm a chemist".

this guy is very nice and helpful in the laboratory but his teaching style is very difficult to follow and he does not explain the material very extensively. He just breezes through the subjects and his test questions are always much harder than the practices.

He's honestly pretty rude and his tests are really hard compared to his quizzes. His quizzes are almost every week, but the questions on the quiz are almost identical to practice questions so it can be easy to get a good grade. His tests on the other hand, are so much harder and practice questions are rarely provided so you're left floundering.

Brutal teacher

This teacher is such a hard grader I showed up to every class and still understood nothing even through his test are hard they do not prepare you for the final

I don't know what to say, he was truly not a good fit for me. He expects you to know everything he's teaching and just understand. The free textbook he uses is not very helpful and he doesn't give problem sets or practice tests. He relies fully on you listening to his every word in lectures and he's not very approachable.

Had an average of 70% on his tests (his tests contained questions that aren't part of the material) and then got a 95% on the final without studying... Gives ZERO practice for his tests + tells you to find them yourself. My only savior was the labs (still got a bad rscore). He also has a heavy accent which makes it hard to understand during class.

His quizzes are on the textbook problems you do, but most of the time you'll still do bad. Tests are hard, questions you've never seen before and he does not give any practice problems whatsoever besides the ones for the quizzes. His lectures are so bad and vague. He talks and doesn't teach. DO NOT TAKE if you have the choice. No class average also

If you have the choice, especially if you're a first year, do not take him. Doesn't give any preparation for test or quizzes other than textbook questions with half the answers missing. He grades super strictly and wants everything done quickly. At least he made some good jokes though...

This dude likes watching his students suffer. He is the hardest grader at abbott and he expects you to already know everything. He is also mean for no reason. Avoid him if you can.

I'm convinced he wanted us to fail. He graded very harshly and gave no partial points. The quizzes were difficult and he gave very little material for preparation. He was available outside of class but did not explain some of the more difficult topics well.

There were some gaps in learning in his class, which made it harder to study than necessary.

heed the warnings

Probably one of the worst teachers I have ever had. Impossible to follow his lectures as they are long and he makes everything more difficult than it has to be. Tests are insanely hard. He never gives part marks and is rude if you try to ask him questions. Definitely would stay away if you can.

Unapproachable and made no sense.

Very condescending. If you're an anxious person or person or colour don't take this class. Worst chem prof at abbott

AVOID this teacher. He overcomplicates the material and focuses on lots of theory, the tests are very hard and concentrated on small details and theory that does not matter. VERY hard grader, does not give part marks. Notes are not clear and didnt even cover all the material for the final.

He is very specific in his requirement. Beware of the notes at the very bottom of his slides. . His exams are very specific to his view of chemistry . Listen in class because the hardest questions on the tests are things he mentioned in class . Regardless of his tough grading he is a very funny guy and usually available even outside of office hours

Was a nice person but the worst chem teacher I had. He never post the class average. And his tests are so hard. He doesn't really prepare you for the finals since he focuses on details that are not important. He's a very tough grader and just wants to remove points. Certainly won't recommend!

DO NOT TAKE HIM. Adds material to what he's supposed to teach, making his class confusing. He does 1 quiz/week and he WILL try to scam you by marking the grades as "subject to change". He WILL change things up, even if it hurts the class average. Does not give half marks. Final average was still high, probably because lots people failed his class.

DROP ASAP!

Had him as my lab instructor. He was the most strict teacher i've ever had. He grades so hard. At least 5 people in our lab group failed.

DROP HIM RN. Absolute monster. He does not care and he wont be afraid to give a zero. If you litsen, he is a great professor, but just his grading makes him horrible. He gave me a 0/10 on something bcz one value did not have units. He is unclear what he wants and he expect you to know everything. and yes if you write in pencil, he will give you 0

his lectures can be very boring but you have to listen to them, his tests are very hard and he tests u on every little thing he said in the lecture. he is an extremely harsh grader, especially in the labs. and you never have enough time for the quizzes. unless you are 1000% confident in your chem abilities do not take him.

Horrible grader on tests, labs, and quizzes. Tests are very hard with little to no practice material, even for the final. He expects precise answers on concepts he barely emphasized, even if they only came up once. Slides are vague and missing key info unless you check the speaker notes. Very hard to succeed unless you self-teach.

Very harsh grader, avoid him at all costs. If you care about your grade, go to anyone else. He prides himself in grading harsher than the other chemistry teachers. Enough said.

The worst teacher I've ever had in my life. If you struggle with chemistry AT ALL (like me) or ask a lot of questions, avoid him at all costs. If you have the misfortune of having to take him, teach yourself everything beforehand and come to class already super confident on the subject of the day.

If you have the chance, please don't take him!

jegimballs was the worst teacher ive ever had. Not only did his voice sounded like he was always on the verge of sneezing, but he was one of those teachers that want to see you fail. I'm a good student but his labs were IMPOSSIBLE and he graded extremely harshly, would give me 45% on labs when ive never failed anything in cegep.CHOOSE PEACE

Save yourself. I had to drop this class. His slides are fine. But he is so rude, especially in the lab. Also his grading for labs is terrible. Keeps a list of his favourite students (the ones who are doing the best). He is friends with the head of chem so dont even think about complaining about him to the higher ups.

Having him as a teacher was a waste of time, unpleasant experience and didn't learn much. I have done better in all my other courses except with him. In hindsight, I was better off dropping his class and focusing on the others and wait to take a chemistry course without him teaching it.

Honestly, worst teacher ever, his grading is completly unclear, he seems to take pleasure in removing any points you have, he makes you feel stupid, while not explaining anything. He forgot to teach a part of the final exam, and didn't do anything to compensate for the grade. His notes on ppt are just awful, with no information AVOID.

do not take

DO NOT TAKE HIM, worst teacher ever. I put diesel in my gas car to avoid going to his class, i rather jump off a bridge than see him ever again. Every time i have his class i hope i get hit by a truck, if you get him, wish you best of luck, you will want to end ur life. DROP IMMEDIATELY, SWITCH PROGRAMS DO ANYTHING TO GET OUT OF HIS CLASS

I had him for gen chem lab. He is absolutely terrible and so mean. DO NOT TAKE HIM. Drop him if he's assigned to you. He genuinely wants you to fail and takes off marks for absolutely no reason.

If you're reading this, avoid this teacher at all costs. If you already have him, drop ASAP before it's too late. This man takes pride in removing points for no reason. You will suffer in his class. He tests you on stuff he barely mentions in class. He is very knowledgeable, but he's the kind of teacher that will make you hate chemistry forever.

take him if you want to hate chem

Do not take Regimbal no matter what. This guy makes his tests on the most random things that he mumbles at 8:30 am, removes marks because "he is not sure if your answer is right", gives no material to practice for tests, and when class average on his tests is failing, he tells the class to "smarten up" and that we are all going to fail the final.
