Lehman is really knowledgable; his tangents are fascinating. The class start with a series of lab, made brutal by back-to-back full lab reports. Luckily, this drops off in the second half of the semester. Lehman likes to include lab material and conceptual questions in his tests and quizzes, so be sure to study broadly beyond the textbook.

Jeff is a great person - mediocre teacher. He teaches from powerpoints that contain barely any information. His explanations are oftentimes unclear. He teaches you how to do some problems, but leaves the concept-teaching up to the book. You'll have homework questions you were never taught how to do. The book and the internet are your best friends.

Lectures are based off of slides that he usually skips over. Practice exams are not reliable for the actual exam itself. He WILL put things you RARELY go over in class on the exams instead of the equations you practice the most. Very inconsistent when it comes to updating grades. save yourself some stress and take 115 with another professor :)

Doesnt update any grades, if he has a substitute for labs and you still have to take a quiz, dont bother turning it in because he'll just take it out of your grade so you wont get any point even after doing all the work. hes not very specific on what you need to study for. worst professor ive ever had.

He is a really nice guy, but his class is incredibly convoluted. The labs, lectures, homework, and tests have little in common with each other, and it will be mostly up to you to bridge those gaps and make sense of this subject on your own. By far the online homework is the worst part of this class (that you have to pay fifty bucks for anyway).

Nice guy and very knowledgeable, but unrealistic expectations when it comes to tests. He gave us a study guide which is appreciated, but too much information to study for. I wouldnt take him again and halfway through the semester our teacher resigned so he took the spot. So just became more complicated and confusing

Professor Lehman was a nice man, but not the best at teaching. His class was not very structured, and during lectures, I was often lost. He does call people out during lectures. He gave a lot of partial credit on tests, which saved my grade. If you're very confident in chemistry, I would recommend him. He wasn't very helpful in labs.

He gives good feedback but he is a heavy grader, everything is scored out of 100 points. You miss a lecture, quizzes in the lab, and exams will be very hard to pass. If you stay for office hours he is very helpful and a good teacher. He teaches clearly and effectively and is considerate but is a heavy grader and if you skip class you will fail.

Mr. Lehman is a good teacher who is willing to help out students in need. He cares for each student.

AMAZING professor! Actually cares about his students and explains anything if needed. If taking the course, make sure to really study those base concepts, the beginning of the semester is VERY important and the concepts just build upon each other as time goes by. Quizzes every week in lab but they are short only 3 Q's. Easy course overall.

Beware of this teacher. Guidelines prevent me from informing you about him so this is all you get. Assume his score is lower that what it currently is, lots of students ratings fell off due to honestly writing about the professor which got removed. Read all comments, especially the good ones.

Save your energy. He will suck the life out of you. He will make sure to publicly humiliate you. He refuses to help and tells you that "you already know this". He makes you feel small and dumb. I'm not sure why he has a good score but this is a trick. I think he has it out for his students and wants them to fail because he refuses to give studyguid

I wrote an entire paragraph only for it to be too long to post. In short, this professor does not care about your education and will not take the time to teach you anything. If you are new to chem, do not take this class because you will spend all semester in tutoring and going to outside sources trying to teach yourself chemistry.

Pro, Lehman is good person, but his teaching style is so complicated and unclear, jumps topic to topic. So if you decide taking this course with him, be ready to teach yourself a lot of the course material if you are willing to learn everything.

These low ratings do not define this teacher. He wants all of his students to pass. Chem is not easy at all but Mr Lehman sets up his students for success by advocating for every1 to go to office hours. It WILL make a difference! On exams, if you understand most of the question, you'll get most of the points. If I can pass, that says A LOT!

If you want to waste your time and stress out, then take his class. No rubric for assignments. The Canvas page was always empty. He wasn't even in the lab room when we were conducting experiments. A classmate found him on his phone instead. He is nice, but it doesn't make up for the fact that he doesn't teach and isn't in the lab.
