Comment:
This professor can be a little intimidating at first, despite his small stature, but once you get used to him he's actually a very nice guy and an excellent teacher. His lab lectures are helpful and if you present your lab reports as he explicity states you'll do well in the class. He def. takes notice when students put some effort into the class.

Comment:
On labs he focuses a lot more on exact calculations/sig figs, practically ignoring the rest of the report..hard to get used to his extremely picky style for EVERYTHING.. but once you understand exactly how he wants it its alright.. speaks really softly so you gotta listen hard.

Comment:
He's very specific and very picky. He takes off mad points for everything under the sun. The worst part is he play favorates. If you rub him the wrong way there's no way you can recover. I had a friend who put the wrong sig figs on his quiz and he got a 20 jsut because he didn't like him.

Comment:
Absolutely boring. The book tells you exactly what to do but he changes everything and makes it more complicated. For example, all graphs must be done by hand. Full leter grade off if paper is .25inch to small or not white enough.

This guy is the worst teacher this side of earth. He is way to picky on lab reports, picks on people constantly, and doesnt explain things at all. He expects perfection which is almost impossible to get. Avoid him with a ten foot pole.

Abe is very unclear in what he wants. He is a perfectionist that will yell at you if you mess any part of your experiment up. I would avoid this teacher at all costs.

Mr. Hosseini is a great guy if you do work and don't act like a smart*** like some people do. Don't assume he's getting angry at you either. When you do what he says relatively 'by the book', you will do well in that class I guarantee it.

This dude can speak better than most students, so if you're complaining, you're an idiot. If you do your work to ALL of his specifications, you'll get no less than an A, but if you don't follow every single direction, be prepared for hell.

most kids hated him, but once you get to know him, he's a nice guy. he just doesnt let students walk all over him. and yes, he actually CAN speak english- so what if he has an accent? if you pay attention and act interested, youll do just fine.

Comment:
he has a complex where he thinks everyone is either cheating or manipulating their data... (probably cause he can't understand english too well?) i think four kids in my class got accused of breakin honor code.. it didn't even make any sense...

Does not explain well concepts well at all and seems like a jerk until you get to know him. He's cool when you get him to lighten up a little.
