This is the second time taking this professor and I am certainly not disapointed. He makes his lectures fun, imaginative, light and easy to understand. He can make a joke about anything chemistry-related. He's extremely visual with his approach, often making extremely abstract and hard-to-grasp concepts a walk in the park! Great lab instructor too

Professor Hauser makes chemistry easy (if you can ever call chemistry 'easy.') His lectures and notes make the material fun and easy to understand. His tests contain questions just like the homework questions, no surprises. If you keep up with the material and work on the practice questions you will do well in this class. And he's very funny!

Anyone taking him should be aware of grading and testing policies. He adjusts the grading scale eg 92-100 is A, 82-92 is B and etc. Also, he doesn't return tests and goes fast during lectures.

He makes the material easy to understand and teaches you to think through the concepts so you don't have to rely on rote memorization alone. No grades for homework (or attendance), but he goes over all the homework with the class each week.
