Comment:

Wierd never doing calculations and some of the theory was really useless. No idea what was going on half the time but could usually make sense of it enough to pass the tests, (he gave us the questions and answers ahead of time) Some questions made no sense though and he put stuff on the exam that he had mentioned only once and made it worth alot

Really interesting, especially in later year courses (where he can relate topics to a broader context).

Near the end of the year, I really started to understand that we don't need to know the numbers but the theory behind chemistry. Very informative.

He makes u think during class not instead of just giving you the information, he helps u figure it out on your own.. trust me it sticks in your head.

Comment:

Useless. I used to love chemistry until I took this class avoid him like the plague. He trys to make chem "relevant to engineering" I guess he did a good job. Just hope that I never have to manipulate a chemical equation ever again Because he sure has hell didn't teach us anythign useful.

Does not teach the course as it should be taught. I didn't even see a single number the entire course compared to the other chem classes which had been doing calculations throughout.

Comment:

Don't believe the others. This man knows his SH*T. He's on the cutting edge of his field. A week before the test he gives you 30 questions and puts 10 of them on the test. 7 of us have marks between 90-100% Just listen to what he says. If you don't go to his lectures, well, then you’re f**ked.

Comment:

Considering I hate chemistry he actually made it easy and relevent to engineering. If you listen to his lectures and do the little bit of work it is an easy A. Any prof who can get an uninterested student to pass with an A deserves credit.

this guy is certifiable - for many years back in the 80s, he actually claimed he had invented cold fusion! Wish I was kidding! Don't believe anything he says

Comment:

He's one of the worst profs I've ever had, he is so boring that I couldn't sit through a whole class! So much so that I had to drop his course! His test questions are completely nonsensical. He thinks that force is not a vector!! Ahhhh!!

He is more than crazy. He came from hell to teach us the easy way to go there. Try to avoid his smilling face. The more he smile, the more troubles you can get.

Comment:

He's crazy and has been for decades. He believes that the solar system is quantum mechanical. Teaches a nonsensical history course instead of real chemistry. The crazy stuff he says aren't mistakes; he really believes this stuff. Completely useless.
