Very funny teacher! Class was always interesting and interacted with students a lot during class. Sometimes was not super clear during class but if you asked he would usually come back to a point in the next class. Very approachable in office hours and really wants to help students do well and succeed. Super nice guy, would recommend!

Perfect Prof. PERFECT. He is up to date with how modern day students learn and want to be taught. He does his lectures in two ways - Pictures and words. He also provides sufficient examples which helps you complete assignments flawlessly. The content is quite easy too!

(part 2 - I am the one who posted the review below). Warren also told me to drink pilk (pepsi + milk) combination before the exam and boy oh boy I for sure listened to him. I was gripping the toilet seat after the final but I did it because he's my pookie.

He's a nice person, but I'm not sure why he's so hyped. Every year these two profs pray on people's downfall by giving really hard and long exams that people can't finish in time. Incredibly difficult exam questions compared to the little material taught in class. He was better than Leznoff, but overall avoid taking chemistry with these two ever.

Dr. Warren is such a lovable guy. His lectures are always enjoyable and I really appreciate how he puts effort into making the content actually interesting via his tone and method of teaching. He had lots of cool demos and I really appreciated how he went above and beyond to help his students after how poorly we did on the midterm.

Warren is awesome. I SCRAPED by in this class, but Warren's half of the course absolutely saved me. He works through a lot of examples and practice questions, giving you ample opportunity to practice and do well. He's also very accessible, and encouraging. His lectures are fun, and he keeps the good vibes going.

Just like leznoff, u can tell he likes chemistry. He is very energetic and hilarious. tends to say "what the sigma" and references the diddy party here and there. he only covers 3 chapters so he has tons of time for examples which help u understand things better. Leznoff had to go over 7 in the same span so that's why he seems worse. Overall amazin

THE GOAT. Explains, shows examples, re-explains. It is so easy to do well with Warren. Just show up to lecture and tutorial and he will tell you what is in the test. Albeit, the material is not easy stuff, but you will do well by paying good attention and watching the practice videos he posts on Canvas. Thank you for changing my life GOAT

Warren's part of the course saved my grade. I almost failed the first midterm but aced the final due to his practice examples in class. Go to lecture because he literally says whats on the final. Professor Warren is a very enthusiastic and I genuinely enjoyed his lectures. Take a course with him hes great.

One of the best chemistry profs at SFU. Prepare for some extremely random tangents. My advice for future takers of his class are that his exams (at least in 332) expect you to really understand the material so you definitely need to do more than just memorize a couple equations.

A really small class when I took it, so he was really able to answer many questions. Great lectures that really showed his passion for biochem. No assignments, due to it just being a 3 week long course. Although going to lectures wasn't mandatory, still worth it because they were hilarious. Content of the final wasn't that clear though.
