The worst chemistry class ever. He barely teaches in the zooms, so you have to teach yourself an entire chemistry course. He writes all of the homework problems and the exam problems so you would THINK that they would be similar-- that's not the case. The exams are 100x harder than the homework. Do not take this class

Worst prof I've had. Doesn't teach well, have to teach yourself most material. The few problems he puts in lectures aren't what's on the exams. Exams are awful, gives no review/guidance and says to make your own review? When we did bad he took 0 blame and said it's our faults in a novel length email. Even though that reflects on him, not the class.

Dr. Voras is a really good professor. He wants his students to succeed and will help in any way to make this possible. His lectures may not be the most interesting, but they are very related to the test. There is only one homework assignment per week and its not bad at all. He cares a lot about his students and is a really nice guy overall.

Only way he got 2 instead of 1 is because he curved the final + gave a 100 prob HW for extra course points (despite giving <2 days during finals to do it). Lectures are bare minimum + don't prepare at all for the exams (no review/study guides) hw completely different from exam. Blames class adamantly instead of himself for poor grades. DO NOT TAKE

Multiple practice exams to study from, weekly Homework with an optional 100 questions HW for a grade boost at the end of the semester.

He gives out graded homework once a week it can be challenging but does help to prepare for the exam.

Loved having Dr. Voras as my professor! Gave tons of Extra Credit and classes were easy to follow with the handout he provides! Classes were not mandatory. You are also able to drop the lowest test grade. Labs were fun and easy as well!

Dr. Voras was hands down the best professor. His lectures are not mandatory, however I would go to all of them to understand each unit fully. He gives a lot of extra credit and I never lower than a 98 on exams. I totally recommend him!

Dr. Voras is a very kind professor. I had him for the HON 314 lab. His labs were easy and usually always end an hour early. His labs are only once a week.

I had Dr. Voras for Che 103 & 104. He is amazing & knowledgeable! The material is hard but if you put the time/ effort in you'll pass. He's always willing to give time outside of lectures to further assist with the material. His lectures are informative, as they create a study guide that you will use for exams. He offers alot of extra credit aswell

All exams were able to have a cheat-sheet, very nice guy, homework due once a week but you have three attempts at it. He was very easy to get in contact with, LOTS of extra credit opportunities, labs were very simple.

3 exams, online quiz homework's, and lab once a week, the final exam is optional. Labs are very quick and you just need to show up to get the A. He's very easy- going and allows a notecard every exam. This class was least stressful for me. I would definitely recommend Professor Voras!

Dr. Voras is a must take if you're taking chemistry or need a chem requirement. Lecture are easy to follow and tests are very easy. He lets you use a cheat sheet for all exams and the exams are mostly definitions so you can easily write them down on the cheat sheet and get an A on the exams. Labs are graded on completion and are very easy to do.

Dr. Voras is one of the best professors I have ever had. He wants his students to do well and teaches the material in a way that is easy to follow. There are 4 exams total (including the final), that you can use a note sheet you make, and the lowest score gets dropped. I would definitely recommend this course and Dr. Voras.

The lectures were very easy to follow and Voras went into great detail on every topic discussed. Lecture attendance was not mandatory but very helpful in understanding the course content. Lab attendance is mandatory but they were fun and never went longer than 30 minutes. Professor Voras is very understanding and a great professor.

Dr. Voras is very nice and very passionate about chemistry. He explains the material well and answers questions in detail. There are four exams (drops the lowest one) and ten homework quizzes. We could use a cheat sheet for every exam, and he provides extra credit. Labs are straightforward and interesting. Definitely recommend for science GenEd!

Dr Voras is very nice and a good professor, but I did not like how he structured his notes. He does well going step by step in the math (chem2 is math heavy), but I did not understand the concepts behind it. The extra credit was annoying since it was through the online textbook and wasn't like the problems on the exam, but it was a generous amount.

Getting a good grade in Dr. Voras's class takes work, but it is completely attainable. My best advice is to go to PLI, do all extra credit, ask questions during lecture, and redo his homeworks and outlines to study for exams. He really cares that his students understand the content and provides many resources for students to help them suceed.

Dr. Voras has a gift in the classroom. He is very well organized and lecture is great. Dr. V is very accessible outside of class, gave us tons of resources and every opportunity to master the material and succeed. He roots for your success but ultimately our destinies are in our own hands. I learned so much. I highly recommend this professor!

Genuinely never had a professor that cares about students success so much. His tests are exactly like the homework and lecture handouts, and lectures are easy to focus on and keeps me engaged. I haven't missed any of his classes. The lab that goes along with his class (che100) was very do-able and not dragged out.

He has a ton of resources if you start to fall behind and he also gives alot of extra credit. I took his 8am class and was able to stay awake because of how engaging he is when teaching! I will say that chemistry is hard but he makes it seem easy! I am sooo glad I had him because he made me like chem!!!

He is very kind. We get 2 homeworks a week which is helpful. His lectures are dull but how entertaining can a chem lecture be? The only thing i will say is he makes a lot of little mistakes on his homework keys. If you catch them its fine, but it got confusing sometimes.
