He was my lab teacher, very very very helpful though. Always gave me answers to the lab questions!

For the most part he seems to be sincear in his effort to teach. He is a little jumpy with the material, but if you go to lass and do the rare assigned readings you will do well in his course, also his review sessions are extreamly helpful as his questions on tests usually come right from there.

EASIEST Chem class I have ever taken! As long as you're not a science major you have nothing to worry about at all. I couldn't even get a C in HS chem, but I barely tried in this class and got an A! Hugely ridiculous curves on all the tests, including the final. Don't believe the other people!

Fairly easy class. Very little homework, just online quizzes, and you can look at the online notes while you take them. Tests were taken straight from the quizzes. Labs were simple but long. Just show up, do he quizzes and labs, get an A.

Very helpful and thorough with the lab. Can tell he is very intelligent. Made a great effort to learn everyone's name within 3 weeks!

He was a very good teacher, and fun too! I enjoyed being in his class

All you really have to do is put a bunch of examples from the quizzes on your cheat sheet for the tests, and it's a breeze... and maybe go to class every once in a while. I'm happy to be done with all science classes, but at least this one was easy. It was pretty easy to get an A+.

Zona is not as bad as some are saying. Going to review sessions is KEY! They help a lot and so will he if you go to him. Just put examples on your cheat sheet and make sure you GO TO CLASS!

never went still got a C

Keys to success: 1.) Go to class! 2.) Print out the powerpoint notes beforehand 3.) ALWAYS write down the examples! (they will help you on the quizzes!) 4.) Share answers on the WebCT quizzes with your classmates and friends! 5.) GO TO STUDY SESSIONS!!! He will answer ANY questions...including those on the webCt quizzes!!! Those are my top 5 recommendations..if u follow those, u'll do fine in the class :)

This was the easiest class I have taken at ISU. Zona's class is very helpful for those who are not science majors. He takes the questions right off the quizzes and you get to use cheat sheets. So, if you can't take questions off quizzes and put them on to cheat sheets then you are going to be in trouble.

At first you may not understand him and his lectures are boring, but his tests are exactly like the quizes. You get to take the quizes 3 times, the tests are curved, the labs are easy, I'm saying this and i go to class every other day! Take your time on the quizes and copy the answers to a note sheet. If you do them w/ some1 else they're a breeze!!

Gave pertinent information durring labs. Always answered questions with good answers.

He is a very cute teacher and a rare beast. Just go to class,print out the notes online. Go to study sessions do the online quizzes you should be find in the class. He goes over the quiz problems in study sessions and you got to use your cheat sheet on the tests it is easy.

Any one who complains that this class is hard is seriously just stupid.I'm not a smart guy.I have a 2.5 and got an A in that class.Literally,never went to class,showed up for the review sessions and made a bad ass cheat sheet from the online quizzes.My roommate has the same GPA as I do, has Otis, and is got a C.Heard Otis is good tho, so whichever.

Zona's not a bad teacher...he just makes you work. Hello people this is college, get used to it! If you do the quizzes, go to review sessions, make a good cheat sheet with quiz answers and actually Study--you'll do fine. No class required. Zona doesnt just give you the answers, he requires you to work for them. And he curves the tests--alot!

very helpful if you go to the review sessions, which i did not go to.. nor did i go to a single class. make a good cheatsheet and you'll be fine. i pulled off a B by only using me cheat sheet and doing quizzes. i'm not a chemistry person at all and got a B

Zona is very intelligent, unfortunately he doesn't always do a good job explaining things so we can understand. He gets sidetracked on unrelated science topics often and then isn't able to make it through that day's lecture. He's slow to put quizzes and notes up on webCT. Go to all his Review sessions. Take all online quizzes/tests for practice.

For the kind of class that was taught (auditorium) I found him helpful and presented dull info in a way that was palatable.

everyone who says they got bad grades in this class didnt get bad grades b/c hes a bad or difficult teacher but because they are STUPID people.the notes are all online(i never went to class), you get multiple tries to take online quizes and can bring a cheat sheet front and back for tests. also he is the funniest prof at ISU!!!

awesome teacher. i went into his class knowing a little bit about chem, but it was not enough. I didnt understand much he taught but ended up with a b in the class bc the online quizzes and review sessions helped. You get an entire sheet of paper with notes on it for the test, and all tests are mutiple choice with a huge curve. great guy too!

very easy class if you put the time into it. a lot of the questions on tests are very similar to the online quizzes. i never went to class because it was pointless and he posted notes online, but i got an A by going to review sessions. zona is funny and a nice guy. definitely recommend him as a teacher.

Mr. Zona is awesome! I highly reccomend him! I went to every class,mainly because he is entertaining and says the most random, hilerious things, but a lot of people didn't do that. He posts all the notes online and had weekly review sessions where he gives you answers to the online quizzes. He is awesome!

Awesome teacher. I never understood chemistry until him! His tests are all mutiple choice and you can use a cheat sheet. Great class-

The actual lectures are somewhat confusing/pointless unless you're really into chem. He's a really good teacher though in that he curves the test 15 points and let's you use cheat sheets which are lifesavers. The way to do well in this class is review sessions GO TO THEM. I never went to class, brought quiz questions to review and got over 100%

He's crazy, but all science teachers are. More importantly, he's very clear and concise on most things. The grading is very easy- with all the online quizzes and such you'd have to try not to pass. He uses powerpoints the whole time, which encourages people not to attend class, but you really have to or you'll be lost. Overall, a pretty good prof.

easy A. you dont need to go to class, all the notes are posted online, review sessions are held every week. you even get a full page, front and back, cheat sheet for exams.

he's nice

He is an entertaining teacher. He does put his notes up online but I still went to class because he explains everything really well and he offers review sessions once a week. Easy class and i recommend taking it.

All notes are online...attendance is not mandatory... and u dont need to go to class at all...just go to the review sessions and ull be perfectly fine...all the quizzes are online are very easy...the labs are a joke...teacher is very entertaining....great guy...easy A if u put any effort into it at all...NEVER USE TEXTBOOK...DONT BUY IT ITS A WASTE

I was scared to take chemistry because i did so bad in highschool, but if you study AND GO TO THE REVIEW SESSIONS you can get an A. I got an A and i didnt go to most of the labs, the quizes are online, you can get the answers from friends... and you get three tries for each quiz.

Good teacher. Tests are a little difficult but all quizes are online and if you go to the review sessions he gives you everything you need to know for the test. You get a cheat sheet for each test. You dont have to go to class because he puts his notes online. Very helpful if you approach him

Good teacher. This class is so incredibly easy! You get a cheat sheet AND a 15 point curve. Guaranteed A! I have a new-found appreciation for this class after being in BSC 101 with Bettendorf! What a horrible teacher she is. TAKE ZONA IF YOU CAN!

He's AWESOME! You get a cheat sheet on EVERY test, plus take online quizzes, plus he goes over the test in review sessions! It's so easy to get an A in this class as long as you show up!

I LOVED this class!! I didnt like Chemistry in high school at all!! He related everything to the enviroment and how it related to our lives now. I am really interested in enviromental science! Which made me LOVE LOVE LOVE this class! Also- get answers to online quizzes with others- or do them together! labs and quizzes really boost your grade!

I hate chemistry but this class is pretty easy. I never go to lectures and am still getting an A. The notes and quizzes are all online and you get a cheat sheet for every test. He's a goofy guy which makes his class entertaining. He makes it pretty impossible to even get a D in his class.

He is a very funny guy. Holds office hours as well as weekly evening review sessions. There are online quizzes which you can take three times and at the review sessions, he'll go ver each question and give the right answer. Cheat sheet both sides for tests, just copied quiz questions onto the sheet, test questions are a lot like the quiz questions.

The class was pretty easy. You have to pay attention in class because sometimes he'll call on you to answer a question. A lot of note taking unless you print out the powerpoint slides. Test are short, but will test you. Good overall professor and class.

Apart from possibly being insane, this guy is the man. Extremely funny, he's able to make chem pretty interesting. The class is also really easy.

This class is SO easy. Puts all the notes online and lets you use a full sheet of paper (front and back) as a cheat sheet for every test. Put all the tables and equations from his powerpoints on your sheet. And put on the lecture quiz questions and how to do them! Take this guy if you can. He's hilarious and probably high 50% of the time. Easy!

his pretty entertaining !!! use blackboard post any info you know about all quizzes and lab answers and other people will too so its like a online study group, put all like definitions on the lecture quizes on your cheet sheet theres always alot of questions about those so with that youll get at least a 60

He allows cheat sheets which I recommend you put on all the practice problems and quiz questions. The practice problems are the key to this class because the test can be full of them. DO NOT BUY BOOK! a waste of money. all you need is to look at the notes and attend class.

COOL DUDE. 15 point curve is a plus. Dont buy the book. He's off the walls attimes and expects you to know everthing. but i like him

Funny teacher

Professor Zona is a very fun professor. He makes a lot of interesting references for materials that are not very easy. You have many opportunities to improve your grade. Having over a 100% at the end of the year is entirely possible. Highly recommended for CHE 102

these people are crazy, theyre probably just mad cause you might actually have to go to class to understand it. i took chem last year with erika swanson and i failed it. retook it with zona and my semester grade is a 104%. each one of his tests was curved 15% and there was a 10% extra credit opportunity. plus hes funny as hell. id take it!

He is a great teacher really crazy, but a lot of fun with current events presented throughout class. Be sure to do all extra credit offered and for tests make sure you know all the online quiz answers and the study guide answers, if you know how to do that your good to go! Plus you get one cheat sheet for every test!

This can be extremely easy as long as you learn the material by attending lectures (like I did) or printing out the notes yourself. Zona ia highly entertaing so it's worth it to go to lectures. You never know what crazy thing he's going to say next. All lecture quiz answers are posted online = A's! Cheat sheets for tests so put examples of problems

Hes a really funny guy, very smart as well. To get a good grade you actually have to study and go to review sessions, they help a lot. He isn't a bad teacher also.

Funny professor, gave out a web quiz a week but was super easy beacause you got three tries. Easy class as I took chem in high school, would recommend him as a professor! Also has study sessions the day before the exam to help you cram in case you need it!

TAKE THIS CLASS! Zona is hilarious! I went into the final with a 98.6 and garenteed A. All lecture quiz answers are posted &tests are easy if you figure out how to the math on the lecture quizzes before the tests. You get a wholesheet of paper for a cheatsheet! 15 point curve on every test! Just spend time on your cheat sheet and math and get an A!

hilarious guy! there is so much material that he has 2 cover he goes super fast. Bring your laptop & download the powerpoint & take notes in the powerpoint bc w/pen & paper u will get nothing written. Go to the review sessions or get a tutor. u will need extra help outside of class 2 understand the material. go 2 the labs bc u get all the points

Take him. He is a really cool guy and is a lot easier to listen to than a lot of other professors I have had. All quizzes are online and you get multiple chances to take them so it's hard not to get a 100. Also for his tests you get a full page front and back cheatsheet and all tests are curved.

Zona is an alright professor. The tests are kind of difficult, but he curves them a lot! He is pretty helpful and I would recommend going to the review sessions. As long as you look over the lecture quizzes before the tests it isn't too bad.

Honestly, if you do the work its an easy class. I recommend you try to do the online quizzes before everyone posts the answers. The only reason people struggle is because they never do anything. Just go to the review session before the test and put whatever is on the lecture quiz on your cheat sheets and you'll be fine. I got an A and never went

Great teacher! Didn't go to class except for tests and almost got an A. Do the labs, lecture quizzes, and HW and your golden

Zona is willing to offer tons of help and as long as you ask for help or go to the help sessions, you'll do fine in this class. Notes can be confusing. Over all though super nice guy, lots of fun as a teacher. I highly recommend him if your willing to do the help sessions!

Zona was a hysterical awesome teacher. I loved going to class because he made it so fun. Its a pretty easy class and if you ask, he will help you out a ton! I would definitely recommend him.

Zona is awesome! He is hilarious and crazy. lectures can be confusing and make you lost but he will explain anything you want and it very helpful. the best thing to do before a test is to go to the review session because he tells you what will be on the test and it is very helpful.

Zona is a fantastic teacher, we all know science isn't to interesting but he just crazy and makes it enjoyable. His tests are somewhat hard but are curved so it makes up for it, he has practice problems all over blackboard and has some extra credit. Not a hard class at all and idk why people are bagging on him

Zona is an awesome teacher. I hated chemistry in high school but having him in college made the course soo much more funn. He is FULL of knowledge and know everything about anything! There is no attendance taken but i encourage you to go if you want an easy A. He is very patient with his students and answers any question asked even if its stupid.

Mr. Zona is an excellent teacher and knows what he is talking about. The only reason people don't like this class is because they don't understand chemistry at all. If you ever had any experience with chemistry, he should be a great teacher for you.

easiest A ever. everything is online he drops the lowest test and 3 homeworks or whatever. tests are 20 questionsish and he curves them. got 100 on every test because of that. go to the review.

I only took chem because no other science would fit into my schedule and let me tell you- I am more than happy to be in it. He makes the lectures interesting and the class is easy. If you ever get confused with math/formulas use the online textbook. It's saved me before. Tests, quizzes, and homeworks are all easy

I only took this class because it was the only one that fit in my schedule. I do not comprehend Chemistry at all. We are like mortal enemies. He is a good professor. He does what he can to explain everything and make sure you understand, but you also have to make an effort as well. He curves everything, doesn't take attendance, but tries to help!

Dr Z is a great guy! This class will demand that you work for it, but with a decent amount of work it is difficult to not pass this class. Homework and Lab/Lecture Quizes are online, and he drops the lowest 3. While attendance isn't mandatory, it is highly reccomended if you don't understand chem to show up. He offers weekly study review sessions.

Dr Z is a great guy! This class is easily passable with some work. Offers weekly study sessions at night as well as drops lowest 3 lab/lecture quiz and hw grades. Of all the work, most is done online where you're offered 3 chances to get a perfect score.Overall he is willing to work with you if you are willing to work with him. Overall a great guy.

Dr. Zona is awesome. Lectures aren't mandatory, but recommended to go to. He posts all of the powerpoints online as well. Tests were very short and right to the point and lets you use a cheat sheet. I received a high A without any problems.

He is a great guy and great professor. He wrote his own textbook, he uploads all power points the morning before each class. He is very understanding and strives to help his students. He also is entertaining with his occasional funny statements and sometimes he'll bring his cool dog Django. The labs are simple & straight forward. A+ teacher

got over 100% in this class and almost never went. do the extra credit and review for the tests a bit and youll be fine.

Zona is a great teacher and he has a lot of passion towards Chemistry. However sometimes it seems that he is too smart to be teaching this class. The content can get difficult and although I'm a straight A student I struggled in this class. You definitely have to study the online quizzes in order to do well on the tests.

This class was super easy! He posts the power point lecture online. There are online homework assignments and quizzes, but you have multiple submissions and can work with people. Also, the exams are exactly like the online hw! You have to attend a minimum of 3 labs, but they are super easy. Should be decent at math too.

Zona is the man! I suggest going to lecture because you can grasp some of the material, more than you would trying to teach yourself. The people that don't do good in the class do not go to his REVIEW that he has every week. Exams are curved by 12-15 points. This class is an Easy A over BSC 101! A lot of my friends complained about BSC 101.

Zona's a nut. He's hilarious. If you know chemistry you'll be fine. All the exams are off the lecture quizzes and if you join the fb page/study blue all the answers for those are on there. Labs are easy all you have to do is show up

Great teacher! My favorite teacher that I have had at ISU. Makes class fun to go to. If you have a small grasp on chemistry you should be fine. Weights every test. There's online homework, which you get 3 chances to do. Pretty simple!

I loved Zona!! I am not a chem person at all but this class was so basic that you didn't need much background. Exams are all curved and online assignments are almost impossible not to get 100 on. I usually could get away with not attending lecture and just going to the review session and looking over powerpoints before the exams.

He is a really helpful teacher, has weekly review sessions and let's you use a cheat sheet for every test. Also drops a certain number of your lowest grades on homework and labs. However if you don't want to randomly be called on you have to wear gray and hide during class because he calls on anyone who stands out.

Went to class a total of 3 times for the exams online, all you have to do is fill out a cheat sheet for each test which is allowed and its the easiest A at ISU.

He calls on people who catch his eye--wear grey. He talks really fast, but if you follow along you can understand. He posts all of the powerpoints on Reggienet. He goes over all the material at the review session, and you can always ask questions.

Zona is the best. He makes class entertaining and as long as you participate and come to class, you'll do great. Just don't wear any distinct clothes to class.

Really don't have to go to lectures. DO NOT make eye contact with him when he is about to ask a question. HE WILL call on you. If you don't get at least a B in this class then you really didn't try. Would recommend him for this class.

Zona is a funny crazy guy. Im almost positive he does coke but he is the best Chem teacher you could ask for. You have homework every week and a lecture quiz every week, all online. The quiz's get hard but the answers are online so you can just look them up. I never went to class and got C's on all my test so I got a C in the class.

Zona is a great teacher. If you didn't take chem in high school, be sure to study hard. He tries to explain everything as best he can and holds review sessions to help prepare you for the tests. Zona is too smart for what he is doing and should be teaching grad students. I enjoyed going to lecture as he made it entertaining and worthwhile.

Coolest dude ever. The equations and mathematical problems are what will probably give you the most trouble on his tests because moves through the material pretty quick during lectures. Although he does move quick, he gives his class numerous opportunities to get help and really just wants everyone to pass.

He's literally a genius! Zona is hilarious & makes sure the course isn't boring! He has a wiener dog (& brings it to class on occasion.) Tests are hard as well as the lecturehomework quizzes. Study with others, go to the review sessions before tests, & ask for help! He's a really down to earth guy, & is so knowledgeable on the subject matter.

Go to the labs & lectures. Do the pre-lablab & lecture quizzes & STUDY for tests - they are super hard! Zona is really funny & ask for help if you need it. He'll give it to you!

Great teacher! You don't really need to show up -- although I did -- because every Wednesday he hosts a review session were you can get homework questions and lecture quiz questions answered, and those questions are almost exactly what you will see on the tests. Tommy boy is a good teacher and its HARD not to get at least a B in his class.

Super easy class almost all the answers to lecture quizzes and homework are online. He posts all powerpoint notes online which helps if you miss class, attendance isn't mandatory but it definitely helps. Also has review sessions every week, you get a cheat sheet for exams, drops a few of your lowest lab, quiz or hw grades. Overall great professor

Zona is very passionate about Chemistry. Will definitely help you if you need it, but if you come to class and pay attention, the course isn't very hard. Has review sessions before every exam.

Zona is pretty cool. I went to almost all of the classes, but I didn't pay any attention. I was scared for my grade for a little bit but the curves he gives, the extra credit, and the dropped grades saved me.

He offers "labs" where you can take your homework or lecture notes and ask questions. He makes himself accessible to students who are struggling in the course.

I think Zona is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He is really passionate about chemistry and actually kept me very interested during lectures. GO TO THE LECTURES!! You will be lost if you don't. I went to every single one and I still thought the tests were hard. However, I recommend Zona to everyone. Great professor.

Zona is a very intelligent guy. He understands that we are only taking this class to fulfill a gen-ed requirement so he adjusts the classes grading scale to accommodate this. He drops 3 of the lab grades and lets you use a full page cheat sheet on every test. Also, he has huge curves on every test. There are review sessions before every test.

Zona is so passionate about Chemistry and really wants to help his students succeed. Each test you can use a full front and back piece of paper as a cheat sheet. He holds weekly study sessions. Go to class and the tests will be so easy. The online assignments are the study tools. Tests are curved extremely. Required final.

Zona is a easy teacher. If you go to lectures material is not hard at all. the hardest math is cross multiplying and dividing. 3 very easy tests with a full cheat sheet and huge curve (hint: use homework and lecture quiz q&a's).Hw and lecture quizzes were easy, 3 tries on each. Only need to go to three labs all semester. This class helps your GPA.

Zona was a great teacher! The rating here are bad for no reason. He is very clear and always wants to help but students just dont seek it. Great guy. Funny as hell. The lectures can be boring but its nothing too hard from High School.

Zona is a great professor! Show up to lecture, follow along in the notes and do the examples provided during them, and do the online homework and lecture quizzes. He allows a full page cheat sheet, front and back, for each test. Also, you only go to lab once every other week. He explains things thoroughly, so just pay attention and you'll be fine!

Thou shalt take Chem 102. Being a non-chemistry major, I was worried about how hard this class would be. I admit, it was difficult. As long as you pay attention and take advantage of his review sessions (one of the best ideas) you should be well off. His accent and expressiveness is enough to keep your attention while the lectures take hold!

Overall an easy class. I skipped all the lectures so I'm not sure how he is as a teacher. Lots of quizzes on reggienet + lab grades + 3 tests + final. He's pretty generous with his grades and theres a lot of wiggle room, and he curves his exams. A decent choice!

He's a super chill dude, he curves grades like mad. I made it with a bunch C's on my exams only because the curve. Without, I would have gotten D's. Lecture notes are online, so if you skip class it's not a big deal (but you should still go). He has review sessions every week that are helpful.

Nice guy who cares about students doing well in the class. He always makes himself available and holds review sessions every week that can really help.

Go to class and take good notes. You'll find that the tests are similar to the online homework and quizzes. Great for your cheat sheet. Funny guy and likes to call out the people who aren't paying attention. It's easy to get an A if you are intelligent enough to actually do the work. You can get a C on at least one exam the way he grades...

Professor Zona is an example of an educator who cares about his work, yet also has realistic expectations for his students. All the homework and quizzes are online and has optional attendance for his lectures. He has a very light hearted and comical personality that makes him a charismatic instructor.

Awesome teacher! He is very lenient and makes sure you will pass. He has a good sense of humor and made class as fun as it could be. I attended every lecture and I am earning an A. I suggest going to class and not just using answers to homework from people. He knows what he is talking about and is an overall good guy and teacher.

Literal greatest professor at isu. Tries his hardest to make sure everyone passes by curving the heck out of every test. Don't take this class with any other professor. Very funny and caring guy as well.

The class is an easy B if you don't try, but with a little effort you can get the A. Zona actually cares about all his students and holds review sessions. Your final grade is made up of many online homework assignments(all very easy),labs(again so easy all you have to do is show up with the completed prelab), and about 3 exams which aren't too hard

He clearly cares about science and tries to make the lectures engaging and fun. It's sad watching him teach students who don't care (general education requirement). The class should be an easy A if you just listen in class. Out of class work is heavy. He allows a full page of notes going into each exam and drops a bunch of your lowest grades.

Funny guy, tries to get students excited about the material.

Zona is honestly the best professor I have ever had. He is passionate about his lectures despite knowing that over half the class doesn't give a rat's ass. He tries to make everything interesting to everyone. His lectures aren't mandatory due to their size but they are very helpful. GO TO THE LABS! EASY POINTS!

Dr. Zona is a charismatic professor. He really cares about his subject, and it was nice to have an actual professor instead of a grad student. It's mandatory to buy the textbook to access labs, but if you come to all the lectures, you shouldn't need to use it except for some review, and vice versa

Class is an easy A. Anyone getting a bad grade decided to go out drinking the night before class all semester and only made it to 2 class periods. The material is simple equations that you can write down on a cheat sheet. Anyone saying this is difficult is at fault.

Stay on top of the work, find the facebook page for the course. You will want that!

This class is easy if you put in the effort. He is a good professor and tries to make the lectures interesting. A lot of students dont show up or copy from the FB page and wonder why they fail exams (which are similar to the homework and quizzes he assigns online.) Not only do you get a cheat sheet for every exam, he drops some low scores. Easy A

You get graded on labs, online homework, online lecture quizzes, and exams. It sounds like a lot, but it's really not. The textbook is online, and no required reading, but definitely recommend him if you're taking chem. I suck at chem but he's an enjoyable professor and extremely helpful. Also drops a lot of your lowest scores, it's hard to do bad.

You have to put the work in to pass. Use the Facebook page for help (has answers to online quizzes) but learn how to do everything (otherwise you're screwed). Not mandatory to attend class but it helps and go to the review sessions when you need help. He wants you to succeed but it can be challenging

Zona is absolutely crazy and its great. His classes aren't mandatory, though the lab was. There is homework that helps with the grade. He allows you (at least when I went) to have a cheat sheet on tests and the final was literally the final study guide in a different order.

Zona is totally crazy, but in the best way. He cares a lot about chemistry and loves his job. If you put in at least a little work it is impossible to fail. He is a little confusing but will explain if asked to. He will randomly call on you in lecture, so beware of that, he will make you answer even if you have absolutely no idea what's going on!

Zona is a great professor and makes the class easy to pass. If you go to every lecture, take notes, and do the online homework you will pass. The homework problems closely match what will be asked on the tests which is helpful.

He's a very funny professor, that knows what he's talking about. It's benefitial to go to his optional review session(they really help!). You can find most of the homework and lecture quizzes online. It's not a stressful class if you do the work/bring your cheat sheet to tests.

Dont waste time in lecture. Show up to labs and join the facebook group. You'll be fine as long as you have four braincells

Use your resources to your advantage. This class for me was very easy. All homework assignments are online but make sure you know how to do them for tests. Zona is a funny guy but picks students at random to answer questions in class so beware.

Go to lecture (he randomly calls on people, so beware) and lab, actually understand the online assignments, and create a thorough cheat sheet and this is an easy A. He drops some grades and curves the tests by at least 10%. People make this class way harder than it needs to be.

He's such a funny and nice guy, but it's hard to understand his lectures sometimes. He tends to sometimes gets off topic, and calls on people randomly. If you don't know the answer he tries explaining it in different ways until you get it. His test are a little hard, so be careful.

Show up to lectures and take notes and it is an easy A. Great professor, super funny and very knowledgeable. He lets you have a cheat sheet (front and back) for every test. He does quizzes online and you get 3 attempts for every quiz. Literally cannot get easier than this.

He actually made chemistry enjoyable. Very funny and easy going. Beware he does call out on people for questions.

this man is a legend he pulled out a foot long tube, filled it with water, and did an experiment with it. this got the class's attention then he pulls out a 10 foot tube and does it again and the class went wild class with zona is exciting and he's very enthusiastic, and you don't need a clicker either

So I have only had Zona for the online portion of his class. So far he provides lecture videos and then after the videos you take a lecture quiz. Then every other week there is a Lab with a Lab video and then a prelab quiz in between. Everything is fairly simple, just stay on top of your assignments and it's an easy A. He is also very entertaining.

Zona's online class is easy. Each week there are lecture videos that have a corresponding lecture quiz that has 3 tries with instant feedback. There are pre-lab quizzes that must be taken in the ebook. There are a few exams, but answers come directly from lecture videos and ebook chapters. Also a few simple labs. Easy! Just watch his videos!!!

He was really laid back and understanding. He struggled a bit with online teaching but did ok. Willing to give help and is very passionate about the topic!

Professor Zona does a good job of explaining the material. Its really up to you to be a good student- attend class, take good notes, pay attention, and ask for help when needed. I wouldnt say Im a strong science student, but I managed to get an A and its because I attended office hours when I needed and I made sure I understood the concepts.

He was an amazing professor. He was always fun during the lectures even though they were online and they weren't mandatory. There was a facebook page where everyone helped each other on the assignments and the exams.

Chemistry was fun with Zona. He always gave us loads of opportunities to pass with late night review session, office hours and multiple attempts at homework. Labs were straightforward and overall, well structured and balanced. Lecture assessments are key for passing those tests and he makes sure to keep everything similar and no surprises.

Dr. Zona is a great professor. super funny and lovable guy. Hes an amazing lecturer and understands what the student mindset is like. Beware of his assessments as theres one every day of lecture due in a weeks time. However, most are found on quizlet and easily done. Prepare for the final(s) as it will heavily weigh into your grade.

This class isnt too bad if you show up and take good notes. He randomly calls on people, so make sure youre paying attention- sometimes he gets frustrated if no ones following along. Overall, Zonas a great guy. He has weekly review sessions, drops your lowest lab & quiz grades, and gave an extra credit opportunity at the end of the semester.

He goes on tangents but is willing to circle back and repeat material that the class finds challenging. The homework is hard but really helps prepare you for the test. Test are difficult so go to the review lesson before the test!

Zona's a great guy. His cold callouts made the class difficult for kids with anxiety. He uses a lot of humor and makes the class laugh often, and his lectures are always important. Try to attend class as much as you can- if you skip, he has online lectures posted to make sure you're caught up. Weekly quizzes, but he drops the lowest ones.
