This only refers to Eve's final exam- which is disproportionately difficult for a 1-credit lab. With 10 experiments, the questions are all multiple choice and roundabout asking "which of the following is false"- things you could only know by just memorizing procedure. Likely the most terrible experience you'll here. "Teaches" orgo lab as well.

I hate the class with a burning passion. I don't recommend this professor. Nothing really makes sense, the TAs grade rather harshly, and it's way too much work with short time limits. I'm always curious about what inspires chemistry professors to provide the most mind-numbing work imaginable with absurd expectations.

Only taught by TA, don't rely on them. There's a video where he explains the experiment for that week and he does a good job. If you don't watch those, then your experience is going to be like the majority of the people who wrote negative reviews. For this lab, you can't depend on anyone but those videos and yourself. It's as simple as that.

TAs under Tegan teach chem labs, but chem labs have 0 interaction with him. My TA spent class time with me and gave me my grade, fair and square. Tegan changed it afterward. I tried to get it changed back but he refused and was a complete dick about it. The grade had little impact on my life. But you should know that he is difficult.

Forces students to buy his books. The questions he assigns in his book as homework are vague and brain-degrading when doing it. Taking his one credit class, if you want to excel, you will spend around 1 hour for pre-lab reading, 1-2 hours for complementary video instructions, 2-3 hours for post-lab questions and lab reports per week. Not worth it.

Watch the videos that Eve posts on blackboard because the manual does not go into detail about the procedures for the lab, if you don't you're going to go to lab extremely confused. The final is hard but doable just know ALL the math that was in the pre-labs and experiments. There's also weekly quizzes so study the manual really well.

Terrible, terrible professor. Tegan Eve appeared only once during the semester during the final. The final itself is ridiculously difficult (average was around an F) and I memorized the entire lab manual to no avail. I do not understand the point of such a difficult final but focus on the quizzes and reports and you should be set for a good grade.

You don't see him. It depends on your TA, mine was great. Eve provides videos of the experiment, watch those!! He does a good job with that, but READ the manual, your final grade depends on it. If you study every detail of the techniques used, you'll end up with at least an A in the class because the final exam is mainly techniques and post-labs.

I hope the school reevaluates this professor. Take this course with a grain of salt because it is set up to make you fail the final while having quizzes and pages of lab reports due every week. It should not be worth 1 credit, if anything, 3 minimum. Regardless he is the only one in charge of chem labs, unfortunately.

Simply chaotic from start to finish.

If he didn't have a monopoly on the chem labs, I'd take anyone else. But, we have no choice. Sad.

Dr. Eve is someone you will see once or twice all semester. His TAs run the lab and each TA is different with their quizzes and grading guidelines so you either get really lucky or the complete opposite. No structure for how his TAs give equal and fair quizzes across different sections leaving each quiz tough. Time consuming for a 1 credit orgo lab

The final exam was not that bad. There's a lot of stuff you won't know but if you read the manual and have a general idea of what you're doing in lab, the final is doable. The assignments are tedious, but if you do them well the first time, you will do well on the final. Dr. Eve will try to scare you but if you put in some effort, you'll be fine.

Professor Eve has a lot of negative reviews for courses containing labs. This course does not have one and he prepared us very well for each exam. He also gave multiple assignments to bring our grade up including one that brought up our exam 2 score by 10% just from completion. If you go to class you should be fine.

I believe this a great professor. I think that he is very caring because he bothers making videos for the students to be familiar with the content of the lab. I believe that even though there is a lot of work, no one said it was going to be easy. He is very efficient and does not like to waste time and he goes the extra mile for his students.
