Talks around the subject instead of telling you what you need to know for the tests. Tests are irrelevant to the homework. Homework is beyond what he teaches in class so you can hardly do it.

took him for biochemistry...wow, his accent is really thick. Bad teacher. The 2nd midterm was the hardest midterm I have taken. But the good thing is his curve is awesome.

I'd have to agree that he is an awsome/brilliant guy but as a teacher--not so helpful. I'd love to talk to him about his research and stuff (he schmoozed w Einstein's son and Linus Pauling and taught at ucsf). You need to rd the text/teach yrself tho.

WTF?!?!?!?! Heavy Accent! Cannot Understand! The only reason I passed the class was because of my awesome TA.

very unclear and hard to understand

If you know chemistry before this class, you are fine. If not, pray the curve gods are nice. I stopped attending class because I found it easier to comprehend information online. Read the book, in class he just reads it to you.

Very nice man. Seems like he wants to be a good teacher. Probably would be if it weren't for the cursed quarter system. Going to class is useless; I survived by reading the book and utilizing TAs' willingness to help. Tests are hard and nothing like the practice tests or homework. Curve will boost your grade.

He is too smart for his own good. Very nice man, but go to the book for all the learning. Incomprehensible in lectures, but you can tell his enthusiasm for the subject. His priority is in his students and there is a big curve at the end. My suggestions just read the book and you'll be fine. The practice exams were easy if you read the book.

The man is a genius.. he got he PhD from Berkeley! Super smart guy, but he doesn't know how to present the material. Chemistry is hard for certain people and he did not help with the clarity of it at all. The textbook wasn't that great, but I was attached to it all quarter. There was a huge curve at the end. Got a solid B.

His class is incredibly easy due to his curves. I barely went to lecture and I only got like 60-70% of the points on the midterms, but I still got an A- because I read the book and did the practice exams. He uses some of the problems from the practice exams and old exams on the final. He's nice, but you just have to learn on your own!

Bogomolni is cool, but he has a slight accent. I just studied from the book and got a B+. He curves at the end also so it's not really hard to pass.

Although Bogo is better than Anderson (in the chem1c course), he cares more about passing his students rather than how well he teaches his class. Most students who've taken this course agree that his lectures aren't well organized and how he lectures on new material leaves a lot of things unclear. Make sure you have a good TA, exams are poorly made

He tells anecdotes more than he actually teaches. He is always behind on the tentative schedule so I'm left in the dark when I try to do my hw. When he does cover material on hw/tests he barely even explains what you actually need to know and more of just the theory behind it. His tests seem poorly put together. He's worse than Schleich

Prof. Bogo is helpful, wants u to pass, his lectures are somewhat useful because he teaches out of a different book than your zumdahl chem book. He can go off on one of his anecdotes, which is funny b/c he turns red and laughs about it. Class is easy to pass. Go to discussion and class, he throws in random Q's about chem 1B stuff.

He's tests are pretty hard, but he curves so much that you're guaranteed to pass- he says that if you can understand one problem then you can pass the class. Very nice, but his lectures are pretty boring; they're just power points and then he talks about them in a thick accent. Do the HW for test prep.

He's a cool guy. really nice and super smart but there's no need to go to his lecture. go to section and understand how to do the hw. pretty easy tests.

He definitely does not deserve that low of a rating. He's not the best at lecturing, but overall a good professor and a genuinely nice guy. The workload/hw is reasonable and the tests are more or less straightforward if you study for them. Just read the book and study the review materials. There's also a nice curve at the end...pulled an A.

Great person, but you can usually not get anything from the lectures. They can be a bit organized and his explanations may not always be very helpful, because his explanations aren't always exactly clear. he makes attendance mandatory through the use of clicker, which is something I found to be very unnecessary. Tests are relatively easy.

His lectures, though mandatory, are basically a giant waste of time. He is very very unclear about what he is teaching and his lectures make no sense whatsoever, even if you have read the book before hand. If you can learn something just from reading the book, take is class. If you're not that type of person I would say avoid him.

I tried going to his class, slept through the lecture. Just read the book. Got good score on midterm just by reading the book. He's knowledgeable, but don't count on his words to help you with studying =/

Pretty hard, attending class is useless cause you honestly don't understand anything...

Class is very hard, you basically don't learn anything from lecture. It is also very hard to understand what he says and he also sometimes gets off topic since he is really enthusiastic about the subject.

Professor Bogomolni is brilliant, has worked with some of the great scientists of the 20th century (Linus Pauling anecdotes aplenty). I'm sure his research has made great contributions to science. That being said, he doesn't belong in a lecture hall. When will schools learn that brilliant researchers don't automatically equal brilliant teachers?

Professor Bogolomoni has a lot of enthusiasm for chemistry but is a very ineffective teacher. I enjoyed listening to his stories and seeing his face light up, but a large portion of time he was disorganized and all over the place.I stopped going to lecture halfway through the quarter, read the book and attended my ace section.I did great.

Read the book and go to section. Going to class is a complete waste of time. Bogo doesn't teach. He just talks about his past and the history of chemistry. I didn't learn anything in lecture. The tests are difficult but if you study the old tests he posts then you'll do fine. Seriously. Just read the book.

Basically if you have Chem 1B with Bogo, you're on your own. He tries his best to explain material during lecture but gets lost in explaining more advanced material or stories. Never really makes it clear what he wants you to know for the exam. If you wanna pass, go to MSI or section. The only good thing is that there is a huge curve at the end.

Be careful of his rule where it doesn't matter if you passed both midterm, but if you fail the final you fail the class. Definitely go to section and MSI or ACE that will really help you out, because you won't learn much in his class

You can tell bogo is a genius. He goes off tangent telling his life stories. Be ready to read and study on your own. Go to MSI or ACE for help. You may do great on both midterms, however if you fail the final, you fail the course. Good luck

The final was nothing like this practice one. He is a nice professor but hard to understand, therefore you have to do all the work yourself. He is easy to talk to but wont help you much when it comes to chemistry.
