Had him a few years ago, He is the best prof at UB

he's an amazing professor

He is hard as s--t...but THE BEST CHEMISTRY professor I have EVER had!!!!! He inspired me to switch my major to chemistry and I will never forget him!

Definitely for students interested in a science field. He is passionate about the subject, and that passion trnasfers to his students. He actually made me give a damn about chemistry. It's a shame he doesn't teach chem 101; more students deserve to be

I don't know how you all manage to fall asleep in this class. It's easy work and everything, but the lectures are the most entertaining classes I've ever had. What a cool professor.

he is known as one of the best teachers in UB...and that maybe true...i am not doing that hot in his class...but he has helped me realize i can do it if i do not give up...he really cares for his students...and interesting..if you are really following wha

He has lots of good tips if you come to lecture; though the lecture can get pretty redundant at times if you've read the book before hand.

He is a great professor, but that doesn't mean he's easy. He expects his students to learn and understand EVERYTHING he talks about in lecture, but you can walk away from the class with a much deeper understanding of chemistry.

he is the best evry1 shoudl take him he tells you directly what will be on the exam very approachable he loves che and teaches it well very passionate about the topic definitely take him

He gets real into the subject. Teaches a very interesting class. He gives alot of HW though.

Really good at explaining everything clearly and in depth.

Amazing

the guy is very eccentic about this class.. he has such a "passion" for it that it makes everyone want to learn it. everyone should take the class!!!

He is pretty cool. He CAN teach and makes you wanna learn the stuff. somehow i ended up with an B+ in his class. But it is A LOT OF WORK.

I like his teaching style. He makes me love Chemistry this subject. But there are so many works to do after class! However, I think that's how you learn.

For those who are interested in chemistry his class is great.If you don't find chemistry interesting however, even Takeuchis obvious entheusiasm isn't sufficient to prevent you from being bored out of your mind.

Wicked nice guy. One of the best professors i've had at UB. If you go see him at office hours, he'll answer any questions you have, and then talk to you about everything from chemistry to his kids to what you want to do after college. A good teacher, and an overall really awesome guy.

he is a great teacher. his lectures are very clear.

Dr. Takeuchi is the sweetest man. He really cares about chemistry and teaching. He tries really hard to give us every kind of example that we can see. But, as good as he is, if you get a non-english speaking TA, you're screwed

Dr. T is the best chem professor you can for general chemistry. He makes chem interesting, and he really cares about his students. Definately take this guy if u can!!!!!!

Takeuchi is a really good prof. he explains everything thoroughly and gives a lot of examples. He also repeats himself a lot which is helpful if you doze off for a few minutes.:)

I wish i could have this professor for chem 102..

Wonderful

great

he knows how 2 take d clas along during boring lectures he is the best professor you you get

Not a fun class but he does his best to keep it entertaing, especially with his hilarious manerisms and interactions with amy

Excellent teacher. If you study and pay attetion in lecture you will do very well. Interesting lectures

Extremely good at explaining problems and always willing to stay after office hours have ended and ask the student how everything is going.

He not only teaches you the information that you need for this class, but he goes above and beyond to help you with things you'll need to know for tests like PCAT, MCAT, GRE ect. AWESOME teacher, best you'll ever have

Boring lectures, but he's a very helpful professor

amazing. Not only do u learn about the txtbook material, but he also knows a lot about the many applications. It's an absolutely amazing class. Take it with him only.

Takeuchi is the best professor! He loves to teach his students, and tries to make sure all of his students do well. He is the nicest person and very easy to approach. Always available to help anyone in need. Take takecuchi b/c he's the best. Exams are hard but if you listen during lecture, you'll be fine

He is the best prof. he knows his stuff. i agree that chem is hard course but if u go to lecture regularly....he makes it easier!!

his teaching methods are off the hook he teaches like a father, explains to the least point, he was an amazing professor i was shoked when i learnt he was takin chem 102.all u have to do is go to class read the txtbook and ur problems are solved

Words aren't enough for this teacher. I would like to invite anyone who wants 2 see a great course 2 one of his lectures. It is helpful 2 go 2 lectures, 2 ask TA's or even him-he lightensup ur day! It's true that he teaches like a father and makes you understand so easily("Wham"). You'll make the right choice if you take his course.

OMFG this prof is like the best prof ever lol! go 2 lectures 2 c tha material and then go 2 read ur book in tha l.i.b.!! lol mr. t is really gude jus go 2 his klass! lol

One of those rare teachers that can inspire a student to do well and learn more. He was absolutely amazing. He is always there to help if a student has questions. I highly recommend him.

This man is brilliant and REALLY into his teaching. He helps get the class motivated. If you want an easy A, this is NOT the course. It takes alot of effort for an A. But he is really an amazing professor.

GREAT

focuses a lot on test materials and repeats informations in lectures so you can actually remember what he said. He is also very funny and interesting.

Everybody seems to love this man. He's okayish. Not great. Kind of Yoda-ish in his mannerisms, and a friendly guy, but I didn't think he was the best person when it came to really conveying some topics. Its hard to gauge whether he is a tough prof. at these lower-level classes since all the chem profs make up the exams. Better than Barton.

He stresses what he wants you to know by repeating things A LOT!!! He is Awesome because he shows you how to work out problems so that you understand them. TAKE THIS GUY, He makes chemistry EASY!

He was too funny and a great professor....definatly recommended for chem 101

AWESOME TEACHER!!!!!! RECOMMENED!!!!

Great teacher! I mean, the material gets pretty intense, especially if you struggle in science, but this teacher really helps you!!! His examples make is so easy to understand the material, and I dunno what it is, but his teaching method is great! He does have his humerous moments too! Def reccommend him!!!

HE was AWESOME!!! Go to every lecture though...and take good notes. He tells you EXACTLY what to study and is super helpful during office hours! Tests are easy!!! (ALL multiple choice!!!). I suggest you read the chapters & make note of the figures that he does...He's quite enjoyable in lecture to although he tends to ramble a bit, very intersting!

dude this guy is awesome! super helpful, tells you what to study for quizzes and tests. he's funny too. def take his class if you can!

AWESOME teacher! One of the few chem professors I ever met whose class I didn't fall asleep in. Makes chemistry interesting and I learned a lot. Tells you what to study for exams and such. HIGHLY recommend!

Very entertaining man! lecture are fun (as fun as a lecture will get) Awesome teacher, really knows what he's talking about (unlike wood who rereads you the text book) IMPT TO READ CHAPTERS!!

dont even bother doing to the TAs office hours theyre no help at all! if you see dr takeuchi in his office hours for just 5 minutes, its ALOT of help! my only suggestion is to do as many textbook practice problems, sample exercises, and practice online tests, and to use EXTREME CAUTION on the tests. theres alot of tricks and traps in the exams!!

Dr. Takeuchi is one of the best professors at UB. An extremely dedicated and caring teacher, he truly wants his students to do well. Attending lectures is mandatory and if you put in your studying, it is quite easy to do well in his class. Would highly recommend him!

i absolutly loved him. i never took college chem before but i can safly say he knows what hes doing and will probobly be one of the best professors i will ever have. the material is hard but he tries to make it as simple as possible. he does everything he can and expects u to put in ur share of studying in order to do well. take him! awesome guy

He is one of funniest professor you'll ever meet. He always uses jokes to loosen up the materials hes teaching and try to make it as simply as possible. Best professor ever.

Awesome professor! HE genuinely cares about his students doing well. Sure Chem is not easy you have to do the work but there's always help avaiable, you just have to seek it out. Watch out for some of TA's as some have no clue what they are doing and give you the wrong answers on labs.

Takeuchi is awesome! Great teacher..really explained things well during lecture. Got a little boring at times, but it's chem, what do you expect?

He is absolutely fantastic. He teaches his students like a father would teach his son he is one of UB's finest teachers

really funny teacher who is willing to answer any question, keeps "boring" material interesting with humor, explains topics clearly and i also like how he doesnt get distracted when 75% of the class is talking over him, really the only drawback to the course is the dumb kids talking in it but if you pay attention its an easy A

Dr. T. is the greatest professor. He genuinely cares about his students learning and what they can do with their knowledge. Read the book, go to lecture, and go to office hours - it's definitely worth it. He changed how I think about chemistry and what I can do with it.

This professor is FANTASTIC! He clearly straightens everything out and is really funny in the way he talks. He is like the cutiest prof. ever.

Dr. Takeuchi deserves to go down in the Professors' Hall of Fame here in Buffalo! He can make you completely interested in the subject even if it's just for a Gen. Ed. He's not an easy professor, but if you don't understand something, he's more than willing and able to help you. If you can get Dr. Takeuchim GET HIM!!

BEST CHEM PROFESSOR EVER!!! alot of the stories he told in lecture actually helped me remember the materials that came up on the exam. very passionate about what he's teaching. the way he explains things makes lecture EXTREMELY helpful so just attend all the lectures and you'll do fine. definitely wouldn't mind taking him again.

One of the best professors at UB, if not THE BEST. He's makes an effort to know all his students, makes lecture interesting, and goes above and beyond for his students. Makes sure to go to his office hours, if possible.

I love this man. He has a weird little sense of humor and lays right out what will be on the tests. Just go to class and the lectures and you will be fine

Dr. T is really excited about the stuff he teaches, and that gets the students excited and engaged too. He really encourages students to ask questions in class, and if you don't understand something he is more than willing to go over it with you until you get it. He actually cares that his students do well. Dr. T is the best!

Dr. T. is the by far the best professor I have ever had. You're cheating yourself if you don't take him. He genuinely cares for his students and has a passion for what he does that he spreads to his students. He can motivate anybody. Take him!

If you have a choice of chem professors, pick Takeuchi. Great lecturer, makes chem interesting. Just scan over the previous comments and you'll get the idea.

Takeuchi is a great professor. Helpful and clear. I've seen him spend his entire office hours helping one student with homework. TONS of homework. You will learn a lot, and the tests aren't too bad (for chemistry), but there is just tons of homework. If you're a masochist, take Takeuchi. Lots of work, but great prof.

Very enthusiastic professor, but be prepared to do a lot of homework.

A great lecturer. May not get everything necessary across, but keeps the class entertaining. Best professor I've had so far.

Not only best professor, but best teacher I have ever had. He really cares about you doing well not only in his class but in life. He has spent countless hours explaining concepts and puts his work on hold to help a student. if only all professors cared as much as him.

Not only best professor, but best teacher I have ever had. He really cares about you doing well not only in his class but in life. He has spent countless hours explaining concepts and puts his work on hold to help a student. if only all professors cared as much as he does.

One of the best professors at UB. He really cares about each and every one of his students. Even if chem is not your favorite he makes it interesting. He is always willing to help when you need it. Overall great guy and great professor!

Great prof! Always there to help you out and was very thorough on his tests. Very fair grading system but needed to study for tests and do all work to get an A

Everyone else loves him, but he's not really my cup of tea personality-wise. He's often cavalier about his subject. He gives pep talks regularly, which rubs me the wrong way. Also, he really loves application of concepts (he thinks he's very clever for coming up with examples that most people with some determination could think up). Try him out.

really clear and helpful lectures, homeworks are long but graded pretty easily

He is the BEST teacher i have ever had. He explains things very well and is really interesting in lecture. I always looked forward to class. He always goes over in detail what will be on his tests, which are not that hard. The homework is long and kind of hard but it prepares you. If you have a chance, take him!!!

Dr. T wants all of his students to be the very best. He cares about whether you do good or bad and will help until you completely understand. Also, he chooses T.A.s that are top quality. This class goes more in depth then the regular chem classes, but it is worth it. I would recommend this class to anyone who will work and wants to go far.

You Won't find a better chem professor than him @ UB. Homeworks are extensive, along with a research project in the 106 Section, work is intense but well worth it. A+ GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS

Dr T is one of the best educators in the SUNY system and he really cares about the individual success of each one of his students. He covers topic clearly and while he does expect a lot from his students he provides all the tools you need to meet these expectations. I recommend him to any student.

He is the man! Honestly best teacher iv ever had and favorite class of college.. In his office hours he basically tells you whats on tests. It is alot of work but then you really know your stuff after doing it. He tries pushing his students cause he thinks they will all be njoobel prize winners. Best professor at UB! Dont miss out on him

Best professor ever! If you have him for either CHE101 or 102 you just DO NOT DROP his class. He is best, and he wants his class to know better than any other section's classes. Take him, and read textbook and you will definitely manage to get A.

Best professor I ever had in UB so far. I really loved his class. He loves his students who wants to study hard, and who shows efforts and respects to his class. He definitely teaches a LOT to help you to ace the exams. He def. knows how to teach and let students understand better. No matter what, NEVER DROP THIS CLASS! IT IS HARD TO GET IN!! :)

He is the best professor ever !!!!! I like him so much

This man is a chemistry god. His lecture helped my grade go from bad to good. Very helpful and easy to approach as well.

Takeuchi is very enthusiastic about chemistry and really wants his students to do well. His lectures are provided online so you can print them out and follow along during class. He's willing to answer questions. I felt like he was more organized during the first half of the semester and rushed a little towards the end. 2 tests and a final.

His lectures are super fun to attend, and it is inspiring at the same time too. He also organized his notes really well. I got an A because I went to all his lectures.

Tremendous professor. Enjoyed every moment of class. He knows what he is doing and better yet enjoys what he does making his class enjoyable. The down side is that he is leaving the University, he will be missed.

One of the most interesting, entertaining and amazing professors ever. Relates what you learn to modern day issues. Glad he came to Stony Brook! He is hysterical. Best chem professor ever!
