Professor Lukacs uses lecture podcasts to explain difficult concepts in the chapters. He assigns lab, extra credit, and the grading depends on the quizzes and tests. It is best to get ahead of the syllabus, read the chapters early, and do the review questions at the end of the chapter. He will answer questions, and attending class is mandatory.

This was a hybrid class and he seems like a bad teacher at first because his test were only 5-7 questions long but if you watch his podcast, ask questions when you can, and read the chapters you will pass, he is also a lenient grader when it comes to test. So if he sees you tried and you some what know the material you will pass the test.

Don't get me wrong, he's an awesome guy- funny and very, very helpful. But this class is ENTIRELY self-taught. 4 hard quizzes and 2 tests, open .

Dr. Lukacs is a good professor, however he expects the student to really try hard and do your part by studying and practicing at home. I took his hybrid course. With the exception of podcasts ( available to you online) this course is self taught. If possible, take a class with a lecture included, especially if chemistry doesn't come easy to you.

This is a "hybrid class" so all notes are taken on your own time through the book and podcasts he has made. At the beginning of each class you can ask as many questions as you need to. All tests and quizzes are open note and you can use previous quizzes and test to help. It's definitely not an easy A, but he is a very fair grader.

Great at explaining the material if having a tough time with it. The course was hard for me just because I should've put more time into it. I wished it wasn't a hybrid class. You need to learn the material by yourself. He doesn't teach the class but if you ask question in class day he will answer them. Try not to miss lab days. Lots of time needed

You have to go home and learn the material, watch the podcasts, read the chapters. He answers all questions. Grades nicely if you show effort. Offers extra credit.

Dr. Lukacs has been the most helpful science professor I've had in my entire education. He has a love for chemistry and it shows. Read the book, actually study, take notes and pay attention! The best option that he gives is podcasts, if you don't understand just watch them and they help. Or just ask questions, he has no problem answering them.

Prof. Lukacs' class is very good, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to take PreChemistry. The course material has 12 labs, 4 quizzes a midterm and a Final. The is very clear on what should be studied and it is a very fair amount of coursework. It is enough so that you have to work to learn the material but still not drown in work.

I would say that the class is mostly self taught when it comes to lecture. The professor will go over the quizzes and exams and will answer any question. He is a fair grader and gives partial credit but when given direction, he expects it done exactly the way instructed. Classes are mostly for questions, Labs, and quizzes. Lecture for home.

I got an A. You dont actually learn chemistry in this class, you basically are only ever tested on how to do unit conversions. Never taught any theory behind chemistry, just gave podcasts on how to do the math behind it. So if you want someone who is actually going to teach you chemistry, dont take this one. Tests make up most of your grade

Able to use any amount of hand written notes on quizzes and tests. provides podcasts for most chapters but other than that you are kind of on your own when learning material. Big on wanting us to learn how to teach ourselves

Dr. Lukacs is a brilliant and approachable professor. This is not an easy course, you get what you put in so be prepared to put in lots of effort. Be sure to attend lectures and class as they are important for labs, review, and asking questions. Make sure to have chapters read and practice problems done before lectures.

Dr. Lukacs cares about his students success and their careers. He emphasizes hard work, study, and practicing problems. His podcasts are excellent but take time. 4 quizzes, 2 tests, and about 11 labs. His tests are not multiple choice and require you to show your work. Study and you'll do fine.

Chemistry is tough. I wish I had Dr. Lukacs for Intro. He is direct and no nonsense. He really wants us to learn chemistry. He stresses its importance in future classes and gives a lot of examples and answers questions. His podcasts saved me and the text is necessary, although I hate reading. Labs are ok and tests open notes.

I had Dr. Lukacs for Introductory and General Chemistry 1 and 2. He allows open notes on tests that you write yourself and any tables or equations. He answers all questions and goes over the tests thoroughly. His podcasts are amazing and got me through. He is not easy but I promise if you, study hard and you'll do great! and learn cool stuff!

Professor Lukacs cares very much for his students. He treats his students with respect. He does not water down the material and makes the quizzes and tests fair. If you need help understanding something he is willing to help you, however, he will not waste time on you if it is apparent that you have not studied. In his class, you must earn respect.

Dr. Lukacs is a particular man that may not be everyones favorite cup of tea; however, my experience in his class has left me feeling confident about chemistry. Isn't that the goal? He'll spend hours answering any questions students may have, but if you're the type of student with low motivation to self-learn..this professor may not be for you.

Dr. Lukacs's recorded lectures are VERY helpful. Do your reading and homework before the lab and then ask a lot of questions--he'll answer them and work with you until you figure it out. He fosters camaraderie in the classroom, which is helpful for finding study partners, which were helpful. The textbook was verbose and occasionally convoluted.

Prof.Lukacs isn't an easy prof. nor is this an easy class. It's challenging and time consuming BUT he does give you all the resources you need to pass the class and its up to you to put them to good use. He's a funny guy but don't expect him him to hold your hand through the class, he believes in preparing you for harder classes.I recc but be ready

definitely a tough professor. took the hybrid course so only went to lack once a week. expect to teach yourself most of the information. very little hand holding as the semester progresses. not the strictest grader but you will get low grades if you don't know the information. overall great professor. highly recommend but don't expect an easy A

The class was structured in a way to force you to learn the material by practicing on your own which I wasn't a fan of at first but later learned it helped me retain the information better. The labs are enjoyable and not difficult and help you actually understand all the different formulas you use. Would take this professor again.

While his class is tough, he was willing to answer any questions you had and his online podcast made understanding the section we were on so much easier. His podcast went more in depth in explanation, especially over harder math problems, so it made learning them a lot easier.

This was my third time taking a class from Dr. Lukacs. He is a wonderful professor who wants his students to succeed in his class and beyond! His lectures were very informational, and he enjoyed diving deeper into topics students had questions about. His knowledge and passion for chemistry are evident in how he teaches and supports his students.

Dr Lukacs was honest about having to work hard to do well, but he encouraged me every step of the way. I had some personal challenges this semester & he showed he cared. He is also funny & lighthearted which made me enjoy class. He never made me feel dumb for asking questions. I wish I had the chance to take his class again because I totally would!

Listening to lectures AND taking notes are KEY! Tests DO increase in difficulty/complexity. I took his 7-week class, so there was a test due every week on Sundays. You're only given 2 days to complete it (Sat & Sun) - not proctored but do NOT rely on the internet. No quizzes or HW. Overall, he's a good professor & wants his students to succeed.

Class is a hybrid class and is very self taught, all the information is laid out for you though. He makes his own lab book and has all of his lectures and useful information posted on his website. The class is not an easy A, you HAVE to study and learn the material. He answers all questions you have and you learn sm, highly recommend.

Choose this course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate chemistry to be honest, but he made it enjoyable and for the first time, I didn't want to quit a few weeks in. He is a really genuine guy outside of just classroom material if you ever take a second and speak to him. Very knowledgeable in a wide range of topics. I grew to respect him very much. Take it!

Did not know this was a hybrid class, DO NOT take this class if you are not required. The heavy weighted exams are based on his prerecorded lectures from decades ago. His handwriting is very difficult to read. If you do take this class: form study groups, take ALL notes on prerecorded lectures, use textbook for practice problems. Good luck
