okay class. got an a- or a w/ the curve. he gives the students hints on quizzes and test so no need to study 9 hours per week as syllabus says. i studied 3 hours before each exam and did better than the curve. you just need to know what to study for and know what Love emphasizes ((((((:

i rated this professor already, but a good TA helps a lot. I recommend Manna Iwabuchi, if she continues to be there.

Dr. Love is not interesting at all during his lectures. I frequently fell asleep and then eventually stopped going to class because I thought it useless by the way he teaches. He assumes that the material is already known if just one person answers a question correctly. Unfortunately he's the only Chemistry 100 professor currently teaching at SDSU.

It helps if you read the book and lecture slides ahead of time before attending class because he only spends time on the major aspects of each chapter. If he's going over a slide for a LONG time, it's most likely to appear on the exam! PAY ATTENTION to his hints in class! It's helpful towards the tests and take advantage of his office hours.

I found Professor Loves lecutures to be stimulating and informational. If you share the same passion i do for learning you will not struggle in this class!! Of course not everyone is as smart as me!

Print out the slides ahead of time and bring them to class to take notes on. He even provided them on Blackboard in the layout with the lines next to the slide. Helped me take notes a lot faster because he moves quickly. I don't understand how you can not pass the class if you go to lecture, take notes, DO THE HOMEWORK, and study. Huge curve!

Fast-paced class that requires effort, especially out of class. Read before/after class and start studying at LEAST 4-5days in advance. You really have to understand the basics to understand the rest of the course. DO ALL EXTRA CREDIT!! This can potentially really help your grade! The class is meant to prepare us for 200, so it is challenging.

He's an awesome teacher. If you study, attend lab, and do the homework, you'll do fine. People who complain about failing, are the ones that don't study or even try. His class is awesome!

Has 3 exams & 1 cumulative final. This class is reasonable. Although I didn't get an A, & failed one of the exams, I know it was my fault. If you do everything you're suppose to then you should be fine. However, if you're like me & you begin to procrastinate then don't complain when you don't pass the class. So far, I have a B.

dr.love is too smart to teach chem 100. he acts like we should know everything and studying chem should be our lives. tests are ridiculously hard and the final is too. he reads off the powerpoints which are just the book, so you basically have to teach the class. turn in homework, study hard, do well on labs, quizzes, and homeworks!

I don't understand all the negative comments. My brother took him last year and got an A, I'm taking him this year and find the class pretty easy. Just read the book before lecture and your good. He's a great professor in my opinion.

Dr. Love is too smart to be teaching this class. Yes he does go really fast during lectures, but you have to understand that there is a lot to cover in a short amount of time. Attend all the lectures, study before and after class, do the homework days before it's due and make sure you do the practice exams he puts online. Also, CHEM is really hard.

His class takes a lot of studying! But it is not impossible. Do well in labs and quizzes cause those points could help you in the end. Make sure to study all lecture material and practice tests and quizzes for exams. Dr. Love is very bright but I think he's too smart to be teaching chem 100.

Chemistry requires many hours of studying. That said, I think Dr. Love is a great instructor and I would take him again. Tests are hard and it is a challenge to finish on time. He provides after class help sessions and practice exams that are similar to the exams he gives. If you put in the study hours you can do well.

Dr.Love was a great professor. His class was difficult but he spent a lot of time after class holding reviews. His office hours were helpful and my TA was super helpful too. If you do the homework, read the book, and understand how to do the practice exams, and stay for after class reviews, it is manageable! I got an A through doing those things.

Dr. Love is a great professor. Chem is not an easy subject, so be prepared to study hard. Read the textbook before going to lectures and make flash cards for the key terms in each chapter. Don't be afraid to go to office hours for help, he is an approachable guy. TAs also hold office hours.

This class is slightly hard, and I feel that most students that come into his class do not realize what a difficult course this can be. Dr. Love does a good job of covering all of the course material during his lectures, and he has no desire to deal with students who do not study. Study for this class, and you will pass it. Fear the Forehead.

Attendance was mandatory because of clicker questions. 3 tests & 1 cumulative final. 6 Lab quizzes (lowest score dropped). Weekly online homework (which actually help studying for quizzes). Overall a pretty good professor; challenging but fair. MUST STUDY REGULARILY!!

This may be Chem 100, but if you want a good grade in the class, you have to devote many hours to studying. 3 midterms, 1 final. Don't bother taking notes unless he says it's going to be on the test. The notes he goes over are posted online. There are clicker questions, but they aren't worth much.

This is a challenging course and Dr. Love expects you to learn the material thoroughly and in detail. He is an excellent professor, but I think that a STRONG foundation in organic and general chemistry is essential if you want to succeed in this class. If you have the foundation and a strong interest in the subject, I would absolutely recommend.

To be fair, this is a hard class. He tells you this on day 1 and allows you to make your decision based on that knowledge. This is an UL class so you have to put in work. He does curve the class. Strong background in O-Chem 1 is a must. Did I mention study? Oh, make sure you score 100% on his online hw assignments. They are pretty easy wink wink!

Dr. Love is the sweetest guy ever. Spent an hour with him 1 on 1 in office hours twice a week the whole semester, And he was awesome about it. Tough course. Just read the chapter the day before or before class and it will HELP! Study on weekends, After classes, DO HOMEWORK ONLINE, and read the chapters early and you will PASS! :)

I'm retaking Chem 100 again & I chose to take his course. He is fair, he offers tutoring monwed after class to help prepare for midterms & he has office hours so there are plenty of resources available for you to pass this class, anyone who complains is an idiot & clearly doesn't try to do well. You get the grade you deserve. He is a great prof.

Prof Love is amazing! He really knows his stuff on Energy. He related his lectures to events that are currently happened around the world . He is comfortable with our small class and gets to know you on a first name bases . There was weekly article quizzes as well as problems through the semester. These are "tests" that you do at home and no final

Dr. Love is one of my favorite Professors at SDSU, he comes off a little grumpy but he's actually a really nice and funny dude. SIT IN THE FRONT ROW!!!!

Love is not a bad guy, but takes this class too seriously. Way too many clicker questions. YOU HAVE TO READ. He is also not joking when he says you should study 12-15 hours a week. It's a difficult class but you have to work for your grade. Go to his bootcamps. Make this class a priority and you'll be fine.

Dr Love seems to expect a lot from students but in return he does offer a ton of helpful resources such as chem boot camp, office hours, and making sure everyone know about the chem help room. Overall he's a great professor who really cares.

Dr Love expects a lot from students but he also always gives a ton of resources for you to pass. Overall he's a great professor and he seems to actually care about students grades if he sees that you're trying.

The class is very difficult but Love gives you all the tools necessary for you to pass. You'll fail if you don't study

If you pay attention, do the hw, and do the practice exams you'll get an A. There is also a large grade curve aka 85 and up is an A.

Honestly, Chem 100 is NOT as bad as people say it is. If you're lazy and not willing to know the material, you're going to have a hard time. Love does a good job of explaining concepts. He goes fast at times, so it's helpful to look at the powerpoint on your phone while in lecture. Overall, good class!

This was a very tough class. Unless you're a chemistry major I doubt you'l enjoy going to the lectures, however they help a lot. DO the online homework over a couple days and really focus on learning the material then! sometimes you have to teach yourself but there is boot camp and office hours if you ever need help. Study throughout the semester.

i don't know what everyone talking about. but Mr. Love is an amazing professor but this was a hard class. He was interesting in lecture so i didn't sleep. he really tries to help. i went to almost every office hour, and he seems mean during office hours and you may not wanna go again, but it is really tough love. he won't baby you. read the book.

I don't know what everyone is talking about, Love is a great professor! Yes, chemistry is hard but he goes out of his way to make it understandable to all students. He holds a boot camp and goes over questions almost identical to the exams. Go to boot camp and do the practice exams. You'll end up with a great grade and an ever better experience!

Chem 100 is a hard class to begin with but Dr. Love does his best to help his students understand. You definitely need to work hard to receive an A in this class but it is possible! Go to lecture, read the book, go to boot camp, spend time on homework, do practice problems at end of each chapter, and do the practice exams.

Very good professor. It is chem 100 so it is going to be hard no matter what. Go to lecture and take notes and try clicker questions and you will be good. Read the textbook and take notes it helps. The practice exams he posts on blackboard are very similar to the real tests so do them. sweetest guy ever.

I enjoyed Dr. Love's CHEM 100 class. I thought his lectures were very interesting despite being fast paced. I needed to review the lectures a few times to actually understand the material. Doing the online homework also helped a lot. He provides practice exams on Blackboard, which I thought were the most useful way to prepare for exams.

Love's lectures are very heavy in material. The midterms are pretty hard but if you study enough you can def make it, my first midterm was an F, on the other two midterms and the final I got an A so he dropped my first midterm. Love is always telling you what will be on the midterms, the final and the weekly quizzes so you'll be prepared.

Love is a funny guy. His lectures come straight from the textbook. He can sometimes get off topic, which is really annoying. He answers questions during lecture and explains them well.

Professor Love was probably one of the best professors at SDSU. He has clicker points available everyday which will help your grade at the end of the semester. Exams are curved, and he tells you what to study. He uploads old exams that are VERY similar to the exam he will have you take. GO TO SI and DON'T take lab on Mondays!

Love's class wasn't too bad. It was scary during the beginnings weeks but as time went on he was very chill professor. The clicker questions can get very intense but its all good cause they are worth only 5 percent of your grade so its okay if you miss some. The only bad part of this class is that he left us for 2 weeks . But overall it was good.

I personally didn't do well in his class and failed Chem 100 the first time. After doing 20x more work with a different professor and passing with only a C I wished that I would've actually tried in Dr. Love's class. He isn't a hard professor at all and he actually cares about his students. If you ask, he will answer until you get it so JUST TRY!!!

In comparison to other Chem 100 professors at SDSU, Love is probably your best option. Although his lectures can be boring, he does try to prepare you with youtube videos, practice problems, clicker questions and office hours. The class itself is hard and you will need to study A LOT outside of lectures and labs. Also, highly recommend A+ review!

Yes, his class is hard but he literally gives you everything you need to do pass the tests. If you go to class and re-watch the lectures and do the practice exams you will pass. He tells you what's on the test. He simplifies the math with conversions. He helped me change my study habits. PUT IN THE WORK seriously for every class and you will pass

Dr. Love is by far one of the best science teachers Ive ever had. He gives you ALL the tools you need to pass his class, its just up to the you to put in the work. I took this class last semester with another professor and lets just say students this semester got lucky to have such a helpful professor. LISTEN when he says this will be on exam.

Dr. Love was a pretty good professor. Read the chapter notes ahead of time to understand before lectures. His daily clicker questions were very helpful. Tells you what you need to know for the exams and even provided practice exams a week before the actual exams which was nice. Got a C- last sem with a different professor so Love was a nice change

Chem 100 is a hard class, but it will be easy if you put your eyes on it. Please don't take it if you don't have a specific time for it. The good thing is about Professor Love. He is very dedicated, and he will help you out whenever you come to his available office hours.

This is honestly the first chem class I've ever enjoyed taking at state. Dr Love is a great lecturer and really knows the material. The tests are the main part of your grade but he gives a practice test that is really similar to the exams. Rewatch lectures, the way questions are phased are verbatim how what he says in class.

Dr. Love is a great teacher and actually cares about students learning and doing well in class. The class covers a lot of material so you need to keep up with it, but as long as you pay attention in class, do the h.w, and put a little effort into understanding the material you'll be fine. Best class I've taken in SDSU so far. Challenging but fun.

Dr. Love is a great teacher but he can be very rude during office hours. Know a lot before you go talk to him one on one and you should be okay. Study the practice test for sure!!

I took Chem 365 because I'm premed and he taught the material pretty well. He says, "Know this for the test" and take him seriously, it's a free easy points on the test.

Dr. Love is a pretty good teacher, but the material and the class are very hard. I'm normally a straight A student, but this class was hard. You have to pay attention and rewatch lectures, because every tiny detail matters. He gives a practice exam, but changes it from being the pick correct statement, to incorrect. 3 exams worth 30% of grade each.

As a very serious student, having taken numerous intense science courses, I can say that Dr. Love's Biochemistry course was rather difficult. Even so, it was an amazing experience. He teaches it from the perspective of a researcher which makes this biochemistry course in unique, relative to others. Def grateful to have had him as a professor!

Dr. Love is a funny guy and his lectures are pretty interesting even though he tends to ramble off topic more often than not. If you read the textbook and stay on top of your OWL assignments you will be fine!
