Very laid back, funny guy. He is always willing to help you understand the material. Says lots of funny explanations for things, and won't drag out a lab lecture if everyone understands it. Relates chemical reactions to "sex and violence". Funny and smart, you can't go wrong with him. I definitely recommend him!

a very helpful professor, likes to get along with students and he also makes that class very easy and understandable

freakn awesome. read my lips: THE BEST CHEM PROFESSOR EVER! awesome guy, awesome sense of humor, great teacher who challenges his students but does his best to make sure they know the material. this guy is everything a chem professor should be. TAKE HIM!

This man is ****. But I would totally recommend him over the other instructors.

If you can get past his weird sense of humor and frequent cussing, he teaches very well.

very good teacher, little strange but good sense of humor, he is very willing to help you if you need it.. you just have to get past his corky humor...i recomend him way more than the others

Don't listen to what others are saying. I took Dr. Sadeghi for his lab for basic chem, liked him so much I took Gen Chem w/ him. He breaks it down and makes chem "interesting" and has a good sense of humor. Willing to help during office hours. Tells exactly what 2 study for the exams. You DO have to study for chemistry people! I made an A. TAKE HIM

If you are at your wits end about Chemistry take him. This was my second time taking this course after failing it the first time. He is so funny and explains everything in plain terms. I went to his office and he spent hours explaining everything to me. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS!!! It will be worth your time, trust me!

Don't listen to those that tell u to take his class. He's a great teacher but his tests are f*****g hard. He tells u that if you study the notes and the examples you should make an A but it's not true I worked my a** off and made a B. Some made C's if they were lucky and the rest dropped or failed. Beware, take anyone else!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this class. I have him for basic chemistry since this is my first year. Professor Sadeghi is one of the nicest guys i have ever met. He can really relate to the students. He explains all the problems clearly and step by step and always stops to see if we have any questions. Hes also really funny, he likes to keep us entertained.

I got a "B", and I'm stupid when it comes to Chemistry! Just go to class, study, and do the work. MAKE SURE to go to class because he will have no mercy on you.

This guy is great! His tests are only 20-25 questions. Hes willing to help, and as weird as it is i think hes the easiest chem professor at UTSA.

You can't just memorize his hw problems and expect to do well. If you put in the time and attend the SI sessions, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to do well in this course. Professor Sadeghi is the arguably the greatest but most challenging chem professor there is. Take him if you want to actually learn!

He is a very relaxed teacher. He is funny, and talks to us not as if he was the teacher and we were the students, but more as a friend. His exams were difficult for me and I studied. Read the book, practice, go over the notes, and understand the homework quizzes and you should be fine. If you want a crazy chem class, take his class.

This is a great Calculus teacher. Take him if you can. The class isn't easy but if you do the homework and go to class you should do fine. Also he is very funny.

He is a very outgoing prof. he is a really good teacher. You are always involved in class. He is great!

Great Cal III teacher. His tests are no joke though. Check the grammar of the negative posts. You have to work for an A in his class, but you will actually learn.

Not an easy class by any means, but one of the best professors you're likely to have. You WILL learn in his class - he is fantastic at teaching. Only smart people will get A's, so beware. As an added bonus, going to class is fun as hell. He's always a cut-up, both from his jokes and from setting people and/or things in the lecture hall on fire.

If you are taking Basic Chem you have to take it with Ray. Professor Sadeghi is the best prof I have had in college so far. Chemistry is hard to learn for many people, but he made every concept clear and though he made many jokes, it kept you awake and interested in chemistry. I'm currently taking Gen Chem and having Ray helped me learn so much!

The best chemistry teacher I've ever had! Explains the material in a way that's very easy to understand without going too slowly. Really funny and laid-back!! Doesn't mind if you miss class, but you're likely to fall behind. Test questions come from online homework and notes. Textbook unnecessary if you take really good notes.

As a Basic Chem teacher he is amazing. I have heard extremely negative comments about his Chem II class, but as far as Basic Chem goes he obviously loves his job and is a great teacher. If you dont get at least a B in the class you are a slacker.

Great professor. In alot of ways he reminds me of Ray Romano from Everybody loves Raymond. They both share one thing in common, comedy. Hilarious guy and gets you really into the class. I highly recommend taking him for basic chemistry.

the awesomest prof i've had in utsa. a flippin genious when it comes to chem and math. most easy going teacher i've seen espacially for a subject like chem. SUPER DUPER FUNNY. makes the material quiet easy to understand. go to class take his notes do his online quizes n do the practices in the book your bound to get at least a high B if not better.

I hate Chemistry II. Whew, this class was HARD! He teaches *very* well, but his exams are killer. For the first test, 80% of the class made a 45 or below, very few made A's and a couple made C's. Tutors and the SI got confused with his homework questions! Take him if for some reason you want a challenge or if you want to bring down your GPA.

Good guy, you can tell he was taking this class himself not too long ago and would like to make it as painless as possible. You will get 20's 30's 40's or 50's on the exams, but you should get at least a C regardless.

Bad handwriting, bad notes, annoying humor. Dishonest, too. I scored well below a D and still passed the class with a D. Sure, I passed - but I did not earn it. Dr. Powell @ UTSA is much better.

Great teacher! Tells you exactly what to review before the test and works numerous examples! He also has a lot of energy and makes class interesting!!

He is a great professor, you NEVER use the textbook!!! He tells you verbatum what will be on the exam. Very sarcastic, which helps lift the mood in a chem class. I truly enjoyed his class.

He is sometimes a person that goes overboard on sarcsm, but as a professor he is really good, I have myself to blame for my grade cause he defenitely tried to help.

Dr. Sadeghi was awesome. You get 2 attempts on WebCT homework, and replacest lowest test with one of your final scores. He lectures very thoroughly, so if you go to class everyday, you should understand the material. Definitely reccommend! Hes probably the easiest chem professor.

this guy is amazing!!!!

This guy is amazing. He is a professor that wants YOU to enjoy the class and get a great grade in it also. He mixes lecture with fun things like constant jokes and fun demonstrations. Considering I had this class at 8 am and still like the guy he is amaaaazzziiing!

I don't like chemistry at all but I DO like his class. All of his tests are on lecture notes so there is virtually no reading, he uses funny and understandable metaphors on the more difficult concepts, and replaces your lowest test grade. He goofs off a lot in class, but don't get fooled because his tests are pretty hard. A good class to take.

Currently have him for calculus III, but I heard he taught chemistry too. GREAT teacher, answers any and all your questions, makes class fun and math understandable. He's extremely intellegent, and unlike some shows interest in his students. Enjoying this class very much.

If you can avoid this professor please do so you will not regret it. He is a genius dont get me wrong but his exams are extremely HARD!!! with no curve or anything I have recieved A's in all my math including college algebra precal,calculus1,2 and im barely pulling a C in this class. He says his exams are like the homeowork but it isnt. STAY AWAY!!

Awesome professor. His interest in chemistry shows in his lectures and makes the class sort of fun to attend. He covers everything on the tests beforehand and still curves. There is no homework and attendance is not mandatory BUT if you miss one class you will fall way behind, miss two or more classes and you might as well drop the class.

This professor is the hardest professor I have had. Please do not take calculus III with this professor unless you have too. I would speculate that about 5 people are passing the course right now His exams are extremely difficult I am saving your GPA if you truly listen to me TRUST ME. Having A's on all my other classes except this one.

Interesting professor. makes chemistry fun, but it is still hard. His tests are short. no curve. Show up to his class and office hours and you will pass. I made 40's and 50's on the exams and got a B in the class.

i liked this class very much. i never skipped a day and always took notes. the only problem are the tests. i got 50s and 60s and my highest test grade was a 75. he doesnt curve, but somehow i finished the class with a C. i say take him because he's a very funny guy and makes chemistry comprehensive, but just beware of the tests.

This professor is really great. A really cool and funny person. you should go to class because sometimes what he taught was not in the book. It is easy to understand what he say, and he is very helpful. Go to class then you will doing great. The test is a little bit tricky. But it's not hard at all. Highly recommend !

Great and fun! Going to his class doesn't waste you time, easy lecture and slightly tricky tests. Not much effort to put in to receive an A.

Quite possibly one of the best professors I've ever had and definitely the best chemistry teacher I've ever had. He makes class fun and if people don't understand a concept, he goes over it again until the students do understand. Very funny. Take him for every chemistry course if you can!!!

Took this professor last fall for calculus 3 his exams are extreamly hard does not curve. In every exam he gives a question that basically he does not go over. You must know the concept in order to answer the question. No memorization

Very helpful and organized. A Funny character who made the class inspired and gave motivation to learn more.He give out homeworks and i ll recomment to work with partners. I enjoyed his class and recommend this teacher to anyone who likes chemistry or dont like it but promise you that you ll be happy to have him your chemistry professor.

He is a really good professor. If you need help you just go to him and he will help you. This is an easy class if you pay attention and ask him for help.

Really funny teacher that knows how to break the ice. Works out all of his problems on the board and explains how he does it. Go to class every time and you will do fine on the exams and homework. Reviews the class before the test which is really useful.

The exams are so difficult. However, the lab work isn't too bad. I am so glad I managed a B because with the midterm and final grades, I figured I'd have to re-take. It's a long semester but it's manageable.

Very hard tests, but the class is not bad. Very important to go to lab lectures.

Can come off as a sarcastic and mean sometimes, but explained things very clearly and was extremely blunt. Always offered to answer questions, but don't ask any stupid ones. Be sure to go to lecture and work out the problems given, ask questions when you need to, and you'll be fine. Also...good sense of humor. And cool accent.

He has a funny but weird sence of hummor. Go to class and take good notes and use them to study!! His midterm and final are extreemely difficult, study your lab reports and notes!! He jokes alot so he makes class fun. Also know how to draw all the lab equiptment that you used during the semester, may be on tests.

Taking him now for Gen Chem 2. Good prof, not easy, but its pretty slim pickings for the UTSA science dept, and for Chem, he is prob one of the best. His exams come mostly from notes, although he does post practice problems from the book, I never do them. The grading scale is pretty easy. If you get a 70 thats a B. Attendance is. I recommend him

This professor is amazing. I never quite understood chemistry until i took his class. Very funny and always willing to go over anything you do not understand. Test are a little difficult but as long as you attend each class and study the notes, you will be fine. Not to mention, it's almost impossible to fail with his grading scale.

Class is O.K. But than again Chemistry isn't easy. I think there's easier ways to teach some of the stuff we went over but than again I'm not the professor. Going to class is a must, if not you'll be completely lost.

Fantastic professor. I only had him for lab-lec but I learned more than I did in class with another professor. He teaches the material fully and makes his tests difficult to match. With him you'll gain a great foundation in chemistry which can help in later chemistry classes. He's also making jokes in class alot :) . Take him at all costs.

This teacher is amazing! He is hilarious and makes class fun. He is very good at using analogies to relate his material to your every day life in order to make it easier to understand. I wish I could take him for every class. Yes he cusses a lot, but it is part of his charm. I think he is an awesome teacher!

I had him for lab lecture and thought he was a fun teacher. He's a little rough around the edges but makes up for it with humor. The downside is that he's really hard, and his midterms for the lab are significantly harder than tests in the actual chem 2 class.

Great professor. May make you cry. He is challenging. But you will learn you chemistry well. Don't sneeze or raise your hand in class unless you want to be called on and made fun of. I didn't use the textbook at all in this class. Study, coming to class is mandatory, and do you hw and you should be ok. Very entertaining class. You will be laughing and learning at the same time.

Best professor ever, he is very smart , highly active and very funny, yes, sometimes he makes fun of people, and he gave this crazy and weird examples, but I always left with a smile+ jock from his class, be ready to work hard, don?t give up, and you will be ok.

He is a man of his word! If you do your part, he'll do what he can to help you.

Dr.Sadeghi is amazing!! He explains everything very well... Tests could be a little tricky but if you study there's no way you can fail his class!!!

Best chem teacher at UTSA. Not only are his classes very concise, they are also entertaining. He will make you actually enjoy coming to class. He reviews previous class material every day, gives semi-easy quizzes, and hold test review sessions on saturday or sunday for every test. Its a hard class, with difficult material though.

Dr Sadeghi is amazing, he makes class very enjoyable and you will actually laugh during class, he compares chemistry with things that you see everyday, if you dnt understand something YOU WILL. I loved that he offered to do our review sections on sat and sun. Little advice make sure to go to class since he knows who is who even for a big class

Best professor I've had at UTSA. You have to work hard, but you WILL LEARN. I am so glad I took this class with Dr. S.

This id the best teacher I've had! He keeps you entertained as wellas engaged in what you do. You must got to class because he covers everything in his notes which are extremely helpful. He has a tendency to pick on people but nothing to extreme. Love this teacher! most definitely recommend!

Labs very easy, midterm and final very difficult, midterm average was in the 20's... gives great notes and knows how to teach extremely well and I think he knows it because consequently, his tests are tough, good sense of humor, taking him is unavoidable if you are a science major needing chem II lab

Very easy class, as long as you attend and stay awake. He gives realistic examples, and relates concepts to things that students would easily understand. He class people out, especially bigger people. He's a good guy and is always willing to explain what you don't understand. Definitely a professor's class that I would sign up for again.

I took him for basic chem, and it was pretty easy, as long as you attend and pay attention to class. He likes to call people out though, so be careful. Our final was at 7:30, I thought it was at 10:30, so I showed up three hours late and he still let me take it. He's a great teacher, and very thorough on explanations. I'd take the class again.

He's funny and entertaining. Explains things over and over until students understand. Likes to call people out but it's what makes the class more enjoyable. Class was pretty easy if you attend and take good notes. Don't buy book, you wont use it. All tests comes from lecture notes. Take him!

This lab is not hard until u reach the midterm and final.They have extremely strange quest u couldnt find the ans anywhere!!anw good luck u have no other choice except this prof.A is hard to reach but im sure B is easy

The lab itself wasn't difficult, nor the work accompanied with it. It was just the midterm and the final that were brutal. He's pretty helpful if you ask the right question or don't make him repeat himself. Funny too. Just be prepared to study hard for the midterm and final.

He is SUPER funny, very clear and understandable. It is chemistry so its hard but an A isn't unattainable... work hard and you might do well, just worry about test performance.

Sadeghi was hands down my favorite professor this semester. He moves at a pace that is easy to keep up with. He's hilarious too, he has no problem calling someone out, but not rudely. He jokes around and manages to keep one of my least favorite subjects interesting. He's very clear about what will be on the tests. I managed an A+!

Awesome teacher, take him. his class is easy if you attend his class. tests come straight from the notes. he is funny and his class is not boring.

He is okay. I wish his lectures were more organized, especially his notes. Once in a while i couldn't help but feel lost.Easy class if you stay on top of your notes and practice the homework often. He can be pretty cool at times.

His notes are very clear and helpful. Exams are difficult so invest a lot of time and study. He is friendly and has a great sense of humor.

Cool guy. Come to class, take good notes(he doesnt post them), study your notes and the homework for the tests and you are guaranteed an A in the class. The thing about most science classes is that you have to review the material daily. Trying to cram the material a couple of days prior to the exam is the best way to set your self up for failure.

Awesome professor really makes chemistry interesting for me. Was always funny, and wasn't afraid to call on people. I don't like chemistry, but he made it possible for me to understand, and learn.

Ray is a really good teacher. He made chemistry understandable and easy to learn. He also is very funny so the class was interesting. Only thing is, attendance is mandatory because since he doesn't use a book you need to take notes and let him give you examples because it will help you on the test

one of the best teachers i have so far! He is very clear and easy to follow. Study his class notes, and you should be okay. Try not to miss a class because his lectures really do help a lot on the exams. He always reviews and does a lot of practice problems in class.

Chemistry is and always has been tough for me, but with good effort I managed to pass this class and the lab with a decent grade. Fair online homework, helpful practice problems, good guy, 4 hard tests + final if you don't study. Stressful semester, but if I can pass you can too, put in effort from beginning!

His lectures were really clear and his homework was pretty easy. The bad thing is that he likes putting trick questions on the test. But if you actually study the notes and look over your hw, you'll do fine on the tests. Plus, his curve helps. Overall, loved his class!

Professor Sadeghi is very knowledgeable about the subject. He clearly explains everything, even the difficult topics. His tests are quite tricky. If you go to class and work the hw, you could easily make a 70 something. To get that 'A' you need to read the textbook carefully and do a bunch of extra problems. Studied a boatload but was worth it.

Professor Sadegui is a good guy; wouldn't mind drinking a beer or lighting up to Pink Floyd and discussing quantum physics. Those things aside, his class is extremely difficult. His tests always contain off the wall questions or are otherwise unlike what is covered in the class/hmwk. Does not curve! Though a 63 avg will get you a C in his scale.

This class is no joke but I promise he is the best professor you will ever take. When I think of Sadeghi I think of college. He is the first real professor I've had at UTSA. This does not mean in any shape/ way/ form to slack because you will get smoked. Fwiw you will remember him for the rest of your life. Sadeghi is big-time.

If you want to understand Chemistry, take Sadeghi. He brings humor to the table & it really helps when working out problems. His tests are pretty simple if you do the review. He is VERY helpful & is a generous grader. With that said, do not slack off. Chemistry is not easy to begin with, but he makes it bearable. Loved his class!

Very cool professor that enjoys making chemistry humorous. Test are hard and tricky. No curves, but his grading scale is altered. Final is ACS. He makes you understand chemistry very well but throws hard questions for his tests.

I highly recommend this guy. Made chemistry interesting! Makes class fun and understandable for students. Tests were tricky but he curves the overall average at the end, which should help you out. Take Sadeghi if you want to understand chem 2 and enjoy it too.

Stand up comedy with a side of chemistry

He is an awesome professor! Keeps the class interesting and doesn't mind explaining things again if you have questions. I have always struggled with Chemistry and math, but his class has helped me a lot. I will absolutely be taking him again.

This guy is a great teacher, by far the best I have this year. He makes lectures interesting and humorous, but he expects work. He doesn't beat around the bush and is a no nonsense kind of guy. Participation is a must because he avoids the textbook, but overall a good professor. I would definitely take him again.

Best professor I've had here at UTSA. I have never been very good at chem at all, but I passed his class with an A. He's tough, but if you listen to his lectures and pay attention to the notes, you'll do well. No need for the book.

Mr. Sadeghi is hilarious, and may even come off as harsh because he' s so out there with his humor, but when it comes down to it, he's always willing to help and answer questions. Going to class is imperative to get a good grade, but he makes it interesting. I had to miss a class once, and I was lost for a bit. He's also a little cutie, :).

You have to go to class to pass, but most people do because he's funny. The tests can be hard but he gives practice assignments so it's not to bad. The final was much easier than the rest of the tests.

3 tests and a final. The first 3 tests are purposely very tricky, but the final isn't too bad. He doesn't curve, but he does factor in attendance as 10% of your grade, so I ended up with a B+ Anyway, take his lectures and your sides will be aching by the end of class. A phenomenal chemistry explainer--much more than a teacher, and has my respect.

I loved the way he lectured, but be prepared to take LOTS of notes. Those are honestly your best resource. He posts past tests prior to the test, but these don't usually help to prepare you for the actual test. Tough tests, but works with you.

Dr. Sadeghi is awesome! Make sure to take good notes. If you think the practice exams are a breeze & you think you got it, YOU'RE WRONG! go back and practice more! His tests are not tricky, they're designed to make you think. He's hilarious also!! You won't want to miss his class! :D

one of the coolest profs ive ever had, very funny. DONT UNDERESTIMATE HIS WORK!!! every time i took one of his tests & thought i was going to pass with flying colors i was WRONG!!! STUDY STUDY STUDY!!!! hes very good at giving notes & if you dont understand, just ask, hes more than willing to help you understand.

Great Prof, yes he is hard but this is college and at this level nothing is easy without study. If you are in class regularly doing your part then he is very fair with you. Study, do homework, make an effort and show up to class-its that simple. Don't take his class if you don't are just looking for credit and like to skip a lot, you will fail.

Dr. Sadeghi is a very knowledgable professor. He expects all his students to work hard and start reading the textbook before even coming to the lecture. Make sure you go to his office hours if you don't understand something because he will explain it to you. Do all the practice problems in the textbook and rewrite notes that you take in class.

You better get ready to work really hard! On the bright side, you will learn something.

This professor was very practical and aware that he was teaching a science lab class to teachers, so he made it nice and basic. He did not give us too much work, and was very reasonable. Science has been really hard for me in the past and he made it possible for me to do well. He even let us take the final and finish the class a week early.

His lectures are very clear and I actually learned something in his class. His tests are pretty difficult though. Most people did poorly but he curves them greatly. If you take him you have to work hard. Don't miss class or you will get behind. Try to take the hour and a half class. You'll be short on time during tests if you take mwf class.

This is probably the hardest you will ever work for a B in a lab EVER. Dr. Sadeghi is a great professor. He really knows his stuff and does a good job at explaining it; however, the lab reports are very time consuming and the tests are probably the hardest tests you will ever take, and they are free response. Just be ready to put 100% effort.

Dr. Sadeghi is a solid lecturer. He explains the material clearly and gives plenty of examples that will help you grasp the concepts. Easy HWs, but tests are VERY difficult. Questions require an absolute mastery of the material to get an A on them. He's funny, but talking to him after class can be frustrating as he tends to be short w/ students.

Dr. Sadeghi is amazing! If you go to his lectures, you will understand everything about chemistry. He is very smart and his examples are very simple and straight to the point! I would definitely recommend him!

Explains a everything in the most simplest form.

Dr. So is a good lecturer. He makes the material easy to understand. However, this class is not easy. You will have to work hard for your grade. Do the homeworks before the exams and study the review questions within the textbook and you will do good on his tests. His grading scale is a bit odd, he considers 81-100 an A and 60-80 a B.

Hilarious and great teacher. Exams are tough, you really need to show up to class and take notes. However, it is curved so C's and B's are easy to get, A's are tough though. Read exam Q's carefully because they're worded to trick you - mostly conceptual Q's and some calculations, but you'll learn so much in this class it's worth it 100%.

It's widely known that Sadeghi is the nightmare of all pre-meds, but I am here to bust that myth. On the last final he gave us the first 40 points, that's an automatic B! Don't be daunted by the low number, he gives generous curves. The class is far from impossible, in fact if you thoroughly understand the labs you have a chance of making an A!

Most people werent sure if they were going to pass the entire semester because his exam averages are terrifying, but if you take him, youll actually learn a lot. His lectures are easy to understand, but you wont do well unless you practice the problems enough times that they look easy so when he switches it up youll catch it

He was a really good professor and very nice, I would definitely take him again. Although he grades our exams very hard he always tells use what the majority of the exam would look like, most times even word for word. You for sure will have to do several practice problems but it's manageable.

Professor Sadeghi was an amazing professor. His class is not impossible and his final is not impossible to pass. He gives you half the exam and tells you what to practice/study. He helps a lot when it comes to doing the labs. He helps you a lot and getting an A in this class is not impossible. I learned more from him then my professor right now.

Dr. Sadeghis lecture is a rollercoaster of emotions. The whole semester youll question whether or not youll pass since test averages are below 50 (theyre very tricky). But at the end of the semester if you do all LS, youll get a pretty decent grade. Hes great at teaching and really simplifies concepts. Bt you need to practice lots of questions

very very funny. curves tests but tests are very very very hard and you have to take diligent notes and pay attention at all times

Sadeghi is a super funny professor who likes to crack jokes that are almost offensive, but it's all in good humor. He is a very tough grader, class average was about 30-50 on the four tests we took. However, you learn a lot and if you can work for a good grade then you will get it.

I took him for AIS and he's really hilarious but at the same time he might come off as slightly condescending. All you have to do is show up, take notes on everything he writes and says then you should be fine for the tests. All the group projects weren't for a grade until the final one. Good Luck!

Makes you take pages of notes in one class. And it's hard to study all of those notes for an exam. Exams are hard, but he curves them. I feel like he doesn't prepare you well for the final exam. Moreover, homework is only 10% of the grade, but you get full credit if you get at least a 70. He's the only good chem 2 prof, so good luck!

He is a good professor but what he teaches is difficult. Work hard and you'll get the grade you deserve. He is one of the few professors that actually cares so reach out and you'll be good.

A lot of people might say Dr. Sadeghi doesn't care or doesn't give the grades that students deserve. During the pandemic, he provided as many resources as he could, but like many professors, struggled to effectively teach and help EVERY student understand. He still provided lots of notes and zoom meetings. Tough grader, but he really does care.

This professor was rated well by students who are conditioned to be okay with investing the appropriate amount of time to chemistry. Chemistry is NOT an easy subject, but Dr. Sadeghi provides as much information as he can to help students learn instead of just memorizing and not actually understanding. Willing to put in work? You'll be fine.

Tbh I did horribly in this class, but I blame myself for not using the available resources to learn outside the classroom, I strongly believe they should mandatory in attendance. Hes a great professor for such a hard subject and online learning made it worst. I would take his class if offered again. Hw was cake compared to test. He curves grades.

Lectures are very material heavy, but usually pretty specific, so be prepared before class begins. He's funny and makes analogies that make it easier to remember different concepts in the materials. Exams are very difficult, but as long as you pay attention and study outside of class you'll be sure to do well in the course all together.

He's a brilliant but arrogant professor. Teaches the material very fast, but well. Take notes, because they'll be helpful in the labs. Straight to the point, which is very convenient. He's very helpful in his office hours, so avoid him after class when he won't help as much. Exams are really tough, but he considers effort into your grade.

Professor Sadeghi is so nice! Im in his online summer classes for gen chem 2 & the lab and its pretty challenging & he gave an extension when he didnt have to! Hes very understanding and cares about his students!

Professor Sadeghi is amazing!! I took him during Summer 2020 for Gen Chem II Lecture and Lab. He makes sure you understand the material fully. Even though it was a summer course, he was really patient, explained well, gave extra time, pushed deadlines several times, had one-on-one meetings for those with issues understanding. HE IS A GEM. TAKE HIM!

I took Dr. Sadeghi's class as an online, summer course (hello, COVID). I don't go to UTSA, and was worried about the large class size, but he was incredible! Managed the whole situation with humor and was *so* incredibly accommodating. Reviews assignments w/ you, responds quickly to emails. If you need help help, just ask!

Gen chem 2 lab is a tough class but professor Sadeghi tries his best to explain the concept well. Attend the lab lectures and definitely read his notes he provide because they are very useful. He is also available after class and is always ready to lend you his time. Lastly, he was very flexible and understanding on the due dates.

Very understanding to students and is always available for help. His notes are detailed enough to help with the lab reports. Honestly, one of the best professors I've had during this pandemic. If you take him this upcoming fall (online), you'll do great.

Dr. Sadeghi is a solid teacher, and I'm not sure why people would leave negative reviews of him or badmouth him. The subjects he teaches are Chemistry, so it's not an exceptionally easy topic to grasp, however Dr. Sadeghi interjects some humor and every day life examples in his teachings. He is more than a fair grader, and even linnet.

If you're hesitating on whether you want to take this class because of all the comments about how rude and arrogant Prof. Sadeghi is I advise you to zone out those reviews. Prof. Sadeghi is a hard grader but he is a very caring instructor. He understands that problems occur in life and will not think twice to help you as much as he can.

He was a good professor in that he was walked the class through the material in a clear way, made it a point to prepare students for upcoming assignments so that there are no surprises. I think he graded on the level of effort that you put into the class. I did bad on the exams, but I would do the homework and stayed active in the class & got a B

Everyone likes to hate on him but he really cares for his students if they give him the respect he gives them, and if they put in the effort. He's a tough grader though so you may not see a high grade initially but there's usually a nice curve so don't be scared if you think you made a bad grade. If you put in the effort you'll be more than fine!!!

His lectures are very good. He does a good job explaining difficult concepts. The only thing is he teaches at a slow pace. And you will have ALEKS hw due before he has even finished the chapter. This has happened a few times and it is a nightmare trying to teach yourself acids and bases from what Aleks gives to him going over that very thing later.

Professor Sadeghi gets a lot of hate but if you actually put in the effort and visit him during office hours he will be SO helpful. He also keeps that in mind and has been known to award extra credit just based of effort alone. He's one of the funniest professors I've ever had, but he wont baby you so you need to be prepared to work hard.

I enjoyed taking this professor, and I would definitely recommend anyone to take him too. The TA I had graded very hard on the lab assignments, but the lab assignments are not what will hurt your grade; it's the midterm/final. As long as you talk to the professor, he is willing to work with you and help you succeed.

I was worried about taking this professor because I had only heard bad reviews, but it was not too bad once the class started. If you are present and get involved with the lectures, you'll be just fine. If you ask, he will help. His teaching style is a little weird, but it is not too bad. You will have to somewhat teach yourself. Don't slack off.

Great lecture

I was worried about taking Dr. Sadeghi. His teaching style isn't for everyone, but it helped a lot of the class so much. He really took the time to show us examples of what he was talking about. I would take him again in a heartbeat. He was easily accessible outside of class and always willing to help after class time and outside of office hours.

Really good teacher and I was never lost with anything covered in the lectures. His lectures are really engaging and fun, and I always felt like I was well-prepared for the exams. Only complaint is that there's a whole bunch of required stuff (aleks, iclicker) that costs a lot of money. Note: I only took the lecture portion, maybe lab is different.

I was scared for this professor but he ended up teaching chem super well. He broke everything down and repeated himself until we understood everything. He put in effort to see us succeed and I appreciate it. He's not the coordinator so he has limited control over tests/hw/ALEKS but he was caring and tried his best to help us understand the topics.

You get graded on attendance after the semester by answering questions on an iClicker which can be annoying. Homework makes up a lot of your total grade so you can do poor on exams but well on HW and you will pass. Exams usually 25-30 questions and pretty easy if you studied lecture notes, and go over your homework. He works out a lot of problems.

He was a good instructor. He was very willing to change due dates and push assignments back. His lectures were informative with plenty of in-person examples. The way he has his grading system set up makes it very easy to pass his class. As long as you keep up with Aleks and show up you will be fine.

Great professor !! I would retake his class, The only thing is if you truly want to understand chem, do your aleks without cheating.

Professor Sadeghi is my favorite professor at utsa,he makes lectures fun and does his best to help us in any way.Although the actual course is very overwhelming and makes you want to hate chemistry, he makes it enjoyable to learn and like.I hope he continues being an active member of the chem department for a long time.arman sucks do,-10/10 for him

Dr. Sadeghi is hilarious during lecture and makes understanding the more advanced topics in Gen Chem I straightforward through examples and accessible supplemental notes in Canvas. While Dr. Arman wrote the GCI tests, Sadeghi's lecture more than prepares you for them. Do ALEKS, and study a few hours a week.

Really great lecturer. He explained everything clearly and in an engaging way. He also spent a lot of time going over harder stuff just so no one's left out. The tests are really hard but it's the same for all GC1 classes, and he will prepare you well for what they are. The different HW is tedious, but I believe that's the same for all classes too.

Professor Sadeghi really cares about his students. He is hilarious and makes class fun. Use the notes he puts in modules, go to class, do ALEKS, and you should pass. I'd definitely recommend him.

Professor Sadeghi brings humor and engagement to Gen Chem I. While the course can be challenging, his lectures and resources like ALEKS help students succeed. unstuck study's study tools were also useful for exam prep.

He is really good. He makes the lectures funny and chill.

He is a really good professor! ALEKS is mandatory. He tries his best for students to understand all topics and is the best professor to take for basic chem and chem I. I wish he would teach chem II and O chem. Take him! he makes your life easier compared to the other professors.

Honestly one of the funniest prof ever! He made lectures engaging by telling jokes and in my opinion he made chem interesting. I am not good at it but he made me want to learn more. The tests aren't made by him so it's hard to tell what to study for.

although gen chem is pretty hard in general, sadeghi made it pretty fun and helped us learn the material in a way we could understand. attending his lectures were useful to do good in the class. DO YOUR ALEKS DO YOUR ALEKS aleks basically carried my grade, i would have honestly failed if i didnt have a good aleks grade. bc the tests are pretty hard

He was a very fun and interactive teacher. To do well in the class, however, you should study outside of his lectures and do your ALECKS thoroughly and make sure you understand the material.

Good lecturer and explains the concepts clearly. CHE 1103 is a hard course and a lot of work will be required regardless of professor. Exams aren't too bad but he doesn't write them, Arman does. As long as you are consistent with ALEKS, you should be fine.

Funniest man alive, knows how to teach affectively and will always keep your attention. Hate comments mentioning his difficulty are just people who just are dumb ngl exams are manageable and btw he doesnt have power over who write the exams. Just show up, pay attention, study and you can get an A.

I have mixed feelings about this guy. One day he seems great and he is communicating effectively in class, and the next he crashes out and tells us we're all going to fail and his lectures don't make sense. Overall he was good, there's not much homework but make sure to do ALEKS it's like your whole grade. And prepare well for the tests. Good luck.

Professor Sadeghi is an excellent instructor. He is clearly spoken and provides memorable demonstrations of concepts in class. He's very straight to the point with almost no rambling apart from his pauses for humor and micro skits. He can be a little crude at times to drive a point home, but it is in good taste. 10/10 would recommend

Sadeghi was really funny and lectures were pretty much a few practice problems and him going over the basic concepts of problems. Just do aleks and the weekly homework and as long as you get over a 40-50 on the exams you'll pass

Mr sadeghi is a wonderful professor and wants everyone to pass. On the other hand, the test coordinator, Arman, would rather you fail and take the course again 3 times. Class content was awesome, aleks was time consuming, but those tests were designed to make you fail. Mr sadeghi doesn't have control over them, only Arman unfortunately.

Pretty good at teaching the concepts, and an easy grade as long as you stay consistent with the homework and use the ALEKS well. Well-humored and cares greatly for your grade, and explains concepts repeatedly if even a small fraction of the class is still struggling. Great teacher to have for my first semester.

Class is tough but professor Sadeghi really cares and wants all his students to do good. Lectures are funny and mainly iClicker questions. Just pay attention, do ALEKS, and a decent bit of studying and you'll be good
