Comment:

The best professor I've ever had. I usually never leave reviews on this website but I felt compelled to do so for this teacher. He gives great and engaging lectures. He is hilarious with a great personality. Teaches very well and gives fair tests. Literally reminds me of the sweet Grandpa who gets you whatever you want for Christmas. The man.

Comment:

Dr. Berg is a wonderful, caring teacher with years of experience and knowledge. He really wants his students to do well and understand his material. His tests are HARD because there is no multiple choice, but he is usually fair in grading and gives partial credit. If you want to do well in this class, take a lot of notes on his lectures!

Comment:

Dr. Berg has been teaching chemistry for literally half a century, he knows what he's talking about. Good lectures don't have slides, he goes up and writes from his own knowledge, this makes notes pretty simple in his class. However, his tests are DIFFICULT and really make you think. But, if you dedicate time and energy to his class you're fine.

Professor Berg is the BEST professor I have ever had and I hated chemistry before taking him. I loved him so much I took him again for CHEM MO1B and I was able to get an A in both classes. You will most definitely have to work for a good grade... tests are hard but he is always willing to help so go to office hours and show him you want to do well.

Comment:

Really liked Dr. Berg. Hardest class I've ever taken, but he was probably one of my favorite teachers of all time. His lectures make you interested in the subject matter, and he's been a teacher here for 40+ years so he's super respected and knowledgeable, I would take him again for 1B but doesn't work with my schedule :/ Take him if you can.

Comment:

He is a really nice guy, but his exams are tough. He gives problems on the board, but they are nothing like his exams. He tells you to study your old exams for the final, but the final is tougher than any of his previous exams and all look different. I do not recommend him if you want an A. If you want to pass, then take him.

Berg is the hardest chem professor I have ever taken, but this doesn't mean you cant pass his class. He is a tough grader but awesome at explaining and answering questions. you have to put a lot of time into this class if you want to pass with a good grade. his tests and quizzes are hard. key to a good grade? take great notes! he uses the board!!1

Comment:

I took this class during summer. He is a very wonderful teacher. Lectures are fun, but teaches by writing on the board. He gives examples of problems, but are easy compared to his exams. Quizzes are easy. Exams are very tough. He grades on a curve, but it doesn't matter because a lot of students cheat. C or B grade is doable, A is extremely tough.

4 Unit Exams, 1 cumulative final, 6 quizzes this summer. Quizzes were super easy out of 10 pts! Labs were fast not too difficult. Must get in a study group in order to do well study! study!, Exams very tough and wording is very confusing, final is nothing like the 4 exams. It is very likely to get a C or B, but very difficult to get an A.

4 unit exams, 1 cumulative final, quizzes vary depending on time. Berg went to ucla, he's going to be hard. Reviews about him being bad are BS, he is clear and wants you to do your best. My brother I had berg's m01B course 8 years apart. Both got A's, u need to try, this is college. Don't believe the bad reviews becuz they're people who didn't try

Very nice professor, However one of the toughest graders, Homework will not get you ready for Exams if you ask for addition help/ problems he will just say google some. The problems he does during lecture are basic verse exams are super hard. Lastly, had a 4.0 till taking this class. I've taken other harder science course. beware!!!!!

He is a really nice guy, but a very hard grader. class is acceptable if you want to pass with a C, maybe a B. I had 1 B and 3 A's on exams going into the final and it brought my final grade to a B. Yet, the girl next to me had 3 C's and 1 B going into the final and didn't do well. Yet, she managed a B in the class. GO FIGURE!

Comment:

He is a very nice man. Yet, he is a very tough grader. He does give partial credit, but it isn't enough. Passing the class is doable, but if you don't do well on the final, forget getting an A or B. His exams are very hard. Homework that he assigns is utterly useless for exams. Students that got an A, got them because they cheated!

AWFUL teacher, very overrated, not organized & makes no sense during lectures, those in the back cant see the board or hear what hes saying, makes his test SUPER HARD without preparing his students he makes lecture problems be level 1 and then tests on level 5 questions, not nice about partial credit, only good thing was lab bc it was easy

I'm the same reviewer who said she was taking his M01B class, in the review from 12/12/2015. My review of him for this class is largely the same: he's a good teacher, and he's willing to help you, but his tests are very hard. That said, I would take him again. You can pass if you work hard and study. He teaches entirely by lecture, so take notes.

He's great! Really there for you, teaching methods are effective, and the guy is super nice. You do have to learn, and chemistry is hard, but I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Berg is a great teacher. Extremely smart and knowledgeable in Chemistry, and there if you need help. His lectures tend to be a lot easier than the actual tests. His exams are a killer and can be really confusing if you don't go to class. About 10 quizzes and no extra credit.

Professor Berg's class isn't easy, but he's there to help you if you need it, and he's a fair grader. He teaches almost entirely by lecturing, and only uses the textbook for homework, so you have to pay attention or you'll fall behind. His tests and quizzes are difficult, but he's an easy-ish grader, and I will be taking him for M01B next semester.

I think Berg is an incredible teacher. His class is amazing. I don't think his tests are hard at all. Be a good student, go to his office hours if you need help and pay attention. He gives you pretty much all the types of problems that are going to be on the test, and if you understand the material it should be fine. Really passionate guy.

Comment:

Berg is such a nice and friendly man, always smiling and willing to help. He's very smart but his tests are extremely hard. Write down everything he says in class, even if said only for a second. It'll most likely be on the tests. I got C's on most of the tests and ended with a B in the class.
