Comment:

To add to my previous comment, some questions on the chem 113 ACS exam were not covered during lectures. Not sure who to blame for this. Somehow we ran out of time and Professor did rush through the material in last two lectures. His time management should be modified. Besides that he is a good lecturer.

Comment:

He is okay when it comes to teaching the material but sometimes he goes too fast. But he is available after class to answer any questions. However, his tests are pretty difficult. The short answers. Make sure you study a week or 2 weeks ahead. The ACS final is way easier than his tests and its cumulative. I wouldn't take him again though by choice.

Comment:

Enjoyed his lectrs tremendously,had lots of fun. This isn't a class you pass without studying your butt off,he grades you by your knowledge,not by what grade you want. He is fair in many ways than people give him credit for. He's tests are no piece of cake,but they have no surprises. You gotta understand the material. I'd take him again if I could.

Comment:

Funny guy. Lectures are clear and to the point. Show up, pay attention and you'll pass. Most people seem to instantly turn on him the second he makes a joke that even the slightest hint not "politically correct", then proceed to come on here and flame his teaching ability. Do not let this fool you. He's an awesome professor.

Comment:

Since the first day I met this Professor I knew for the very first moment that he was going to be a nightmare. The first day of class he started by saying "I'm chalk and talk" and yes he never used PP & never spent time introducing a topic, instead he went straight to work problems. He never stood up in class instead he rolled his chair worst Prof.

Had him for Chem 113 recitation. He was one of the best Professors I had so far. If you really want to learn chemistry than take him. He explains the contents really well. Just need to speak up and ask questions.

Absolutely brilliant. Can be tough but he single handedly taught me all of the practical applications for each topic. I wouldn't have been able to pass without his help.

Comment:

The absolute worst! His disregard for student's work and concerns is despicable. Doesn't even bother to update students on their progress. Sometimes forgets to communicate the date for next quiz, and you get informed two days before on blackboard. His notes all disorderly. Fun person to grab a beer with, not to grab education.

Comment:

No power points, no leeways, just straightforward old school teaching. He isn't a bad teacher in terms of knowing his material and teaching it but I found the course to be really tough. He also doesn't answer his email or phone.

Comment:

I took Professor Greenberg over the summer and it was overall a good experience. His class integrates his lectures with the textbook reading! I liked that you can revisit the textbook and really understand the textbook after the lectures at a deeper level. Makes good analogies to help you understand. Lectures are well thought out and prepared!

Comment:

Professor Greenberg is a teacher who teaches a tough course. He covers all topics that are on the test in lecture. Take good notes. Good notes are the key to passing. The examples he gives in class are the type he gives on test. His tests are very challenging. Be Prepared. He takes a break in class, accessible for questions then and after class.

Comment:

The other teacher that is teaching over the summer told their students that homework was extra credit, and also got a formula sheet to use for the test. This professor makes you memorize every equation and doesn't give extra credit. Not a bad professor, just doesn't care much about his students grades and isn't willing to help out.

Comment:

He's not a bad professor. He just needs to chill out and make his tests easier. Theres another professor that teaches currently as well and has much easier tests, and counts the homework as extra credit. In that sense, this class is much more difficult. Again, not a bad teacher but really needs to know that his students are trying their best.

Comment:

If you want to take him for Chem 1131 lab, he's not a bad choice. He doesn't give back any of the lab reports and I'm pretty sure he doesn't even read them but as long as you showed up to class and did the lab reports you basically got an A or an A-. He never gives quizzes and always disappears for 30 minutes during lab time. Simple lab instructor.

I took this class several years ago in college, and recently i have come across some of my old chem notes and got horrible flashbacks of this class. This class will forever be one of the worst experiences of my life.

Comment:

Never has chemistry been so difficult and confusing ever. If he does not have the textbook with him, or even if he does, he does not follow it & teaches what he feels like. He will put things on the exam that he does not go over in lecture. If this is your 1st chem course, a tutor might be your friend. The online HW is nothing like his lecture/exam

Comment:

Dr. Greenberg is old school. There are no powerpoints, He lectures, writes on the board, and speaks. You need the textbook, and you need to put in the effort to pass. If you're looking for easy, take someone else. If you want to learn chemistry from the ground up in detail, this is your man. A+, would take again. Very funny.
