Comment:

One of the best professors I had at UW. His accent is hard to understand at first, but after the first week you're completely hypnotized by him. He helped me realize just how much I love chemistry. I would recommend him to everyone.

"You've got to be kidding me the people who liked this guy. The first time, he was funny. After that, he's so incredibly annoying and lectures pointless." That comment says it all.

Comment:

This guy is the biggest jerk I have ever seen. Try talking to this guy, he is not willing to help you at all. Don't even try to reason with the dude. I would not go to his lectures, ask the chem study center.

Comment:

His accent is a bit strong, but so are all the chem teachers I had. Lectures were very helpful. He went over labs step by step, and calculations, which was extremely helpful on one lab. Sometimes he also does the prelab with students. He is kind of funny, especially since he just laughs, even if no one else does.

Comment:

I found Nyasulu very helpful and entertaining. It helps to go through the experiments with him before you have to do the prelabs and such. His accent didn't really create a problem for me, and I really enjoyed his lectures. It provides a pleasant break from the constant stress of graded clicker questions and note-taking.

I don't see how he's really helpful at all. Everything he describes is in the lab manual so it's just another day to skip lecture.

Comment:

He will talk about 3 sentences, before you realize what he said in the first sentence. He has a strong accent, but if you listen carefully, he really does give up lots of clues to make things easier and more understandable for the student.

Comment:

I don't understand why people rate him. Dr. Nyasulu is a funny guy, easily but amusingly understandable (coppa too compound!) and pretty much shows you how to do the lab report problems in class. I hated Campbell but loved having Dr. Nyasulu on Wednesdays. Come on lab days for a good laugh!

Comment:

I loved having Dr. Nyasulu! Yes, he is a little hard to understand sometimes, due to his accent, but he's pretty funny. He totally makes the lecture interesting, with jokes here and there. Nice break from Campbell's boring lectures.

Comment:

I read the lab manual beforehand, so I have no trouble understanding his take on the matter when he jokes and sidetracks. It's not mandatory to attend lecture, so those who complain shouldn't go. He's an eccentric guy and his enthusiasm makes Chem fun.

Comment:

The Jamaican joke was really quite pointless and ignorant. Nyasulu is quite amusing if you can actually understand what he is saying, but he's not a NORMAL professor. He simply lectures once a week or bi-weekly on the material for the labs.

Lectures often very difficult to follow. Read lab manual, posted lecture notes instead. If you ever need help on lab, Nyasulu is great at one-on-one help.

Skip his lectures, instead read his lecture notes and the lab manual. Helpful if you ask him outside of class.
