Joe is fun! He is very relaxed and flexible.

Excellent Prof. Joe is organized and runs class in a casual way that allows student to ask questions. You can learn a lot in this class if you work.

Likes students to ask questions during lecture,very helpful, e-mail, office hours. He also posts helfull info on the net like back tests, worked out homework assignments etc.

Looks kind of weird, probably cuts his own hair but seems to be ok.

lol, looks like a rock climber to me. This was a good class. It wasn't hard. Did have its share of work though, but its chem lab, thats what its supposed to have. Anyway, the guy is a cool teacher. I got an A.

Major stoner! Hella cool as a person. You have to study on your own to do well in his class. He uses power point, which is boring. You got lost in thought. Open-book, awesome, although, you need to know what you are doing. No lab tests in his lab class!

One of the best teachers I've ever had. Online homework and quizzes help prepare you for more flexible lectures where he will spend as much time as necessary going over problems. Does experiments in class. You will learn alot if you study and keep up.

He is very good. Work hard and learn lots.

HE IS A VERY GOOD TEACHER,FUN, AND HE IS FAIR.

he is the best chem teacher i ever had. he is funny, fair and teaches good. if you study his nots you will get an A.

Awesome chem teacher and really cool guy overall. He's always there to help when you need it. Whether your majoring in chem or just need the class, Joe is definitely the one to take.

His vocal clarity isn't the best, and seems a little uncomfortable teaching. Great at developing tests and the homework is fairly simple. Fair overall, but not as great at explaining things as some others

The best lab teacher ever. All tests are group open book tests. Always willing to help. Funny guy, fair grader. Drops one lab, I recommend not even doing the last lab. Best Lab class ever I highly recommend this teacher.

very easy, I got a C in this course, but that was becuase I studied less than 5 hours during the whole semester, the only negative point that he has is that he is very lazy so all the tests are going to be graded by TA's, but the lab is peace of****& I got an A without even purchasing the lab manual

He pretty much rules. Take him for 201.

Great professor, knows his subject, trully enjoys teaching it. He is really laid back and understanding. Homeworks are multiple choice and are turned in online, while exams are mostely written problems that vary in the level of difficulty from test to test. He provides exams from previous semesters for practice. Pleasant learning experience.

Toto is so cool! I loved his class because it was so laid back. In lab, he didnt care if we wore sandals or didnt wear goggles. In lecture, the tests are similar to the old tests he posts online. The hw is easy: all multiple choice. Also, the final was online.

Toto looks like a guy that wants to be in Ultimate Fighting Championship. But he is calm, probably knowing that no pencil necked teenager in the room can defeat him.

Toto is the $%@!. He is a laid back professor who makes the class enjoyable because he's not as serious as the other teachers. He jokes around and has a sense of humor. He teaches well and doesn't throw in other jargon that just wastes time. Plus, he is the advisor of the Mesa College Surf Club so obviously he's a cool dude. Take him!

Great professor. Made chemistry fun n easy. Take him vs. tappen.

Great teacher. Always makes time in class and in office hours to clarify any questions you have. Previous tests are posted so you know exactly what to study for. The material being covered is pretty complex and difficult, but Toto makes every possible effort to make it understandable. I enjoyed his class, and learned a ton.

I got C's on all the tests. And my final grade was an A. Love him. He's f'in hott too.

I love this guy!... Not that easy, but an exceptional professor. His course makes you want to learn more and is great at making the subject interesting. Plus he is always around to help anyone in need. ++++

Had him for both Chem 200 & 201. He truly ROCKS!!! But Chem is still a lot of work. He posts back tests/exams online to help you prepare for current exams. They may end up being different but it gives you a good idea of his testing style. Also ALL quizzes are on WebCT are ALL multiple choice. Piece of cake. Lab was fun too. I recommend taking hi

he is very laid back, but do not mistake that for him being a easy/nice prof. If you put in effort he puts in effort. He is my first pick!!

OMG the class is so freaken easy! There are lots of back exams that you can use to study for your in class exams. Just read the book and do the problems on the back exams and you'll get an "A" in the class for sure. If you can't get an "A" in this class, it only means you're not putting in the effort!

Prof. Toto is a fun guy who makes chem lecture interesting. The lecture is based on the lecture notes. The back exams help somewhat, but it helps to actually learn the new material; what a concept! The five week summer course is brutal. A full semester is probably an easier task.

He is so hoooooooooooooot..i really love him.. he is so funny and his classes are very fun. he is pretty easy..i highly recommend him.

I was so glad to take Toto's Chem 201 class and lab! He was an awesome teacher and truly cared about his students. Participate in the Elementary School Science Fair if you can! I had so much fun shocking the kids! ONCE AGAIN--TOTO'S CHEMISTRY CLASS--IT IS A MUST TAKE!

greatest chem professor ever. He's super nice and funny. He makes lessons easy to follow and really cares about his students. best chem prof. must take.

Toto is the man. I checked him out on RMP and thought it was going to be a breeze. it wasn't you had to work hard and put in effort, he will definately meet you half way. Good chem experience learned alot all my questions were answered. Lab is a pain, but work hard and in the end it will be alright. Don't and don't blame anyone but yourself.

I had a great time in this class. He makes some funny jokes and keeps a relaxed atmosphere. Unfortunately I think heard he was dealing with some stuff outside of work and so he sometimes "wasn't there". When he was, his lectures were crystal clear, and was extremely helpful. Bad days weren't so good though... Hope things work out for him.

For me chemistry is hard enough as is so getting a good professor is pivotal. Professor Toto is awesome. He is very clear and easy to understand. His tests are similar to older ones that he posts on his WEB CT. Study hard and it is definitely an A-able class.

I took him over this last summer. He was pretty chill, sometimes kind of funny, and is an interesting lecturer. He gives you notes of his slides. Tests aren't easy, but if you study his notes you'll be fine. Homework is 20% of grade, midterms are 60%, final is 20%. Final was easiest test. It isn't a blow-off class, you'll need to put in some work.

got him for lab and i should have an A but i slacked because it's TOO easy.. he doesnt grade ur labs, so u dont even have to do it.. he only grades quizes (only like 5 Q's) and three lab writeups, which he might lose and just give you an A. He's the kidna guy that you wanna grab a beer with or smoke a dubie or do some crazy experiments with.

Toto is the kind of teacher that you will find at the university level. He runs through power point slides that are extremely lucid. You will never have to read the book. He puts up old exams that you should study off of and you will do well. I think he prepares you very well for the university. He's a good guy, take him for lab too if you can.

I don't get how people don't like Toto. He is so down to earth and is approachable with any question, no matter how "stupid" the question is. His class is hard though, people don't like it because they have to think. Study his powerpoints thoroughly and you will be able to at least pass. Exams were challenging. But overall, Toto is great!

He is a fair teacher. Expect to work in his class. If you have questions, he will answer it with clarity and respect. Lab exams worth 35% and labs are worth 65%. Most of the labs are with partners. He is a fair grader. I would recommend him for lab. Just don't get behind or procrastinate in his class or your screwed.

His lectures were fast pace and kinda hard to follow because he makes his own slides. Definitely take advantage of his office hours. He really cares about his students and was great help with any questions i had. Test were difficult but most of them were not test bank questions which is cool. He posts old test online so you can study them.

Unfortunately for lab, he is hardly "present". Disappears frequently, made jokes the 1st day about lab safety (not cool), and never made you wear goggles. If you're not a chem/bio major this lab is nice, but for those who are serious it?s a disappointment. Will rush you to finish lab. Never used my lab notebook, easy easy A. Lots of group work.

I liked him, he's a really nice guy. Very friendly and super easy to talk to. I wouldn't say he's super helpful, but he loves chemistry and enjoys sharing it with students. If you study the material you will learn it, if you don't study...you can imagine the results. So put the work in and you will do well in his class.

Very laid back and easy if you show up and do the work. Not very good at helping to explain the material, rely on what you learn in lecture.

By far one of the best professors on campus. Helpful, answers questions you have even for other classes if he can, and is willing to stay after class to explain some more. Honestly the best professor I have had in college.

Reviews last lectures material before going into new material which is helpful. Normally ended lecture 20 minutes early. Doesn't post the answers to his study guide exams and review packets. The Homework is fair but he liked to put problems that we glossed over briefly during lecture in his exams that wasn't like any of the homework. Read the book.

All the labs conducted in this class are very interesting. He is moderately helpful when it comes to question but he really knows his stuff. All exams are online and open book. Make sure to pay attention when he lectures and take good notes. Getting a good grade on labs are easy as long as you do the calculations right and understand the material

Compared to other professors teaching lab, Dr. Toto is by far the easiest. He's a fun guy who will help you out but without just giving you the answer. Very friendly guy.

This guy is real. Not only does he bother to go through every lab step by step, but he'll expedite the labs wherever possible. He's a very fair grader, but you've gotta be able to think critically and generate the answer he's looking for - this involves research on your part for each lab write-up. Take Joe, he's great. Don't be stupid in his class.

Amazing! He's super cool to talk to and very available to answer lab questions. He goes through every lab to ensure we don't screw up. Nevertheless, it is often difficult to understand what he expects as far as lab reports go. All in all, very helpful and knowledgeable.

Fair Grader, knows material well.

Professor Toto is an easy going kind of guy. He's clear, concise, and tries to have the class end early so everyone can go home (I took his lab on a Friday). His exams are a bit difficult and the labs are sometimes tricky. HAVING GOOD LAB PARTNERS IS KIND OF ESSENTIAL FOR THIS CLASS (THERE ARE MANY GROUP LABS), so be nice and make friends.

I loved professor Toto's class and him as a person. I took him during the summer, and although it was a lot of material, I felt like I had a really solid comprehension of it all. He was super helpful when asked, and always gives good feedback in lecture and lab. Definitely read the power points and lecture notes he gives you! It will help a lot!

Took lab with him and he is one of the nicest professors out there. He explains every lab step by step in detail and even bumps your grade up at the end if you are fairly close to the next grade. 10/10 recommend

Here's the deal- 3 midterms varying in difficulty the avg of them is 60% of grade , 20% is homework, last 20% is the final which was online and we had 2.5 days to complete. This material isn't easy, it takes some time to read and practice the problems. Toto is fair, he wants to help you.

I wish I was still in his class because of how much fun it was. Granted if you want to survive in the same room with Toto you really have to be a glutton for punishment, which I am. Do your homework show up to class and go to office ours and ask him questions. It dosn't hurt to bring some money to gamble with either.

Prof Toto seems like a guy who wasn't supposed to be a professor, but he slipped through the cracks and everyone was just like"Ok."

Told us one of our labs were dropped on the first day of the final lab, that was sick, Got out of lab for the final two weeks of school. Tests were online and less than 10 questions. The labs are as easy as any other lab you've taken in ComColl, he has a grader do the grading so be sure they don't take a ton of points for something insignificant.

You will have to follow the lab manual regarding how the assignments are completed. Typing them would be best. Always put in effort for the labs that are turned in and write good discussions. The class was very manageable. There are 4 online exams based on the labs. You will work in pairs and groups of 3. He lectures about the lab before its due.

Tests were incredibly difficult to study for and attending lecture only helped so much.. what does help is that he CURVES grades. I would possibly take him again but for lab only.

Easiest lab professor I've ever taken. Obviously this course will be hard, but if you compare what other lab professor's assign, Toto is by far the least difficult. All labs can be done w/ a partner and Toto helps w/ calculations. I did not take him for lecture and strongly recommend you do the same. I've seen his tests and they're super difficult.

Lab was really easy and straightforward, so were the lab reports. Nice guy too

He is very nice and his class is super easy. He is very accessible and also very flexible with the lab reports, which are basically all you have to do for this class.

Great lab instructor. But don't take him for lecture.

Professor Toto is a great teacher who will take the time to teach and help you understand Chemistry. He is personable and was very assessable via email, canvas, or even in person. I enjoyed Chemistry with him and would definitely take him again!

Dr. Toto is extremely intelligent. If you put the work in, it is a great class. He is very knowledgeable and is great person to learn from. He is also extremely nice and patient. Taking his class was a great learning experience and also very fun.

Read the textbook before lecture and do textbook problems bc lectures by themselves are not helpful. He will answer questions even if you think he is annoyed with you. Easy lab, non-specific grading and gives generous points. Do homework problems ahead of time because he explains them during class. You will do well if you don't procrastinate.

You can tell he cares about students. He makes a point of letting students know they can come to him during class so that you can ask him questions about anything you don't understand and have problems with. Also available during office hours. Make sure you read though because there is A LOT of material. He'll work with you if you're having issues.

For lab, Toto is an amazing teacher. His class is very laid back. He tells you exactly what you need on each lab report, so pay attention and take note of what he says. For each lab, there is 1 lab report, but it is more of a series of questions than a lab report. Also, time is built into class to write the report. You can also work with a partner!

His class is hard, but doable if you study outside of class. Tests are worth 90%, including the final (10%), none are dropped. The median score on each exam was 69, 74, 81, 88 (final). I am not strong in math, but I watched a lot of YouTube (watch Dr. Paula's videos), and studied for hours. Tests are application based, but he grades easy-ish.

I only took his lab, he is pretty chill however he does not promote lab safety, so make sure to have your protective gear on. He's tough to access outside of class, but great help during lab and gives a lot of feedback when lab is submitted through Canvas. He is very leninent on lab submission, but make sure to not fall behind with labs.

Professor Toto is fun to take and does explain things pretty well, but exams are 80% of your grade and he doesn't really give a good idea on what is on the exam other than to look over the homework and the lecture notes. He can go fast sometimes, but he will answer any questions and throws some jokes during lecture so it isn't completely boring.

Summer Course: Really fast-paced, and is not the greatest lecturer, he does have lecture recordings from previous years. 3 Exams 1 Online Final. Honestly a great human being but you have to put in the work outside of class to get an A.

Summer Class: Lowkey fumbled an A in the class because I didn't turn in 2 lab reports, but he is very open on due dates and is probably the easiest A in lab you could get. Do not procrastinate tho!

Professor Toto is really kind and funny. During his labs he was aways ready to help and answer questions. If you put some effort it's easy to pass his class. He doesn't take points for late assignments.

He will tell u that u dont need to attend lecture but he expects u to act like a responsible student. U NEED TO COME TO LECTURE. He also doesnt have any due dates on assignments. YOU NEED TO TURN IN ASSIGNMENTS ON TIME! By the end of semester there was 8 people left in lecture. But he really took the time to explain stuff to make sure we got it.

awesomesauce 4 lab, mid 4 lecture. Lecture grading: tests 80%, hw/final each 10%. He's chill in lab and an easy A+ if u turn in all ur lab reports, plus he even tells u how to write them. Fell asleep in lecture a lot, but do a bunch of problems from sample tests/lecture slides. U get a notecard for exams so write eqns and even sample test problems.

Toto is a chill lab instructor who makes the course quite manageable. Labs are straightforward, and he gives clear guidance on reports. Using Unstuck AI and the textbook helped me excel in this class.

joe toto is tough i wont lie. his lecture slides are not the easiest to understand ( i think he's too smart for his own good) however, he is SMART. He knows what he is doing and he can help you with anything you need. he can go fast during lecture and skip explanations but if you ask he will give the best explina. and you will understand. hes sweet

He is super knowledgeable and kind. His lecture style might not fit everyone- I skipped and used videos from outside sources. if you generally understand the hmwk and practice exam you'll be okay. the homework is abt 45 questions on canvas. you get a postcard to bring to exams. his labs are superrrrr easy and good he explains the reports in detail

Prof Toto is very laidback, I enjoyed the labs. He explains everything before performing the experiment so you can actually leave early everyday if you get it. Not an actual exam (it's a lab, I thought it was fun once i finally got it lol) only lab reports and he's okay with make-up labs. Always helps you if you're stuck as long as you show effort.
