Comment:

Great teacher! Sure he's pretty stern and serious, but he just wants you to do well. He's super organized and always let's you know what's coming up. First semester was easy, second not so much. Always read and take notes for the full chapters AND attend classes. It's a tough course but not impossible to get a good mark. One of my best teachers

He's the rudest prof I've ever dealt with. Make sure you read the book, a lot of things on his tests were surprises.

Class had potential to be interesting, but sadly was stuck in the dark ages of BioOrganic Chemistry. May be fairly easy to get an A or A+ but it was stretched out too long.

Comment:

He is very helpful if you ask him questions and make sure that you read the chapters before each midterm because he will take stuff right out of the textbook and ask you about on the midterm without ever talking about it in class...

Excellent teacher. He cares about making sure you understand and keeping the class quiet so that you can learn. He is caring and is always avaliable if you need him out of class.

he's not that bad, but read your book. keep up with your assignments and readings and you should do fine...just dont talk or make noise in his class cause he tends to dislike this quite a bit. if you go yo class and read your book you'll do fine.

attend class, don't talk during his lectures (you will die for it!), do the assignments. Even if you suck at chem you should do alright. Take advantage of his office hours if you need to ask him about anything, he's very available to students outside of class. nice guy if you give him a chance.

People didnt like him was because they were still stuck in the transitional phase from high school and reality! They are stupid morons who think it would be fun to sit in class and gossip while disturbing others who are there to learn. Seating plan obviously didn't work. Geez grow up stuheads!
