Comment:
This class isn't easy but it is worthwhile. Dr. Deak is an amazing teacher and it is the students fault if they fail. His tests are exactly the homework questions worded differently. The homework questions are more challenging than the test questions, so do the homework and you will be fine. He loves chemistry and gets very into it, he is very nice

Dr. Deak is the smartest man. He is a very good teacher and if you do the homework, you will be good for his class. He teaches very fast, but you should be going over material at night anyways. I was scared to go to office hours, but I ended up going and he was so helpful and nice. He gave me great advice on my major and was fun to talk to

Comment:
Dr Deak is the worst professor I have ever had. He lectures on theory and tests on math. His exams are challenging for this reason. Even by doing all of the homework problems and studying, getting over a B is rare. His office hours are unhelpful as well. He is bland and has no sympathy for the students. He gives no extra credit either. Stay away!

Comment:
The worst prof. I have ever had. I want to say he's a decent guy but nope. not sympathetic or helpful in anyway! No chance for extra credit because he "would have to give it to the entire class", if you have a class average of a 70, everyone could use the extra credit. Tests are the HW worded differently, but does not give adequate time to complete

I personally strongly dislike Chemistry but Dr. Deak made the class so much more bearable/enjoyable. He has a quirky sense of humor and you can tell when he's interested in the topic he is teaching. Definitely do the homework he assigns, his tests are just the homework problems worded differently.

Comment:
Very smart man and knows his stuff. Likes to lecture and gets a bit excessive and dull. Very easy to lose focus but if you listen you'll be fine. Practice problems a couple days before the tests and do the homework if you want a grade above a 75 on the exams. Recitation quizzes are nice grade boosters.

To say the least, Dr. Deak is the BEST. He really loves teaching and does an amazing job at it. He teaches you how to do the problem and gives you homework problems that will help prepare you for the exams. DO the homework... trust me! Amazing guy. Awesome class. I highly suggest him for someone who wants to enjoy taking Chemistry and learning.

I took Dr. Deak over intersession. On the first day, he explained how the grades distributed, and his grading scale is very nice. Tests are fair. DO THE HOMEWORK problems they significantly impact your grade. He tried to make lectures more enjoyable.

Such a nice and funny guy. I'd definitely take him again if I were more into chemistry. This class made me realize how much I hate chem. The tests are very difficult. Gives lots of homework, it's not mandatory, but it helps prepare you for the exams. Overall, if you like chemistry, definitely take him!

Deak is a great guy, and very personable during office hours if you need extra help. The course itself is super tough though, and in order to do even average you need to go to class and do the homework problems. Recitation isn't helpful at all, so get a tutor right off the bat if you don't understand something. Overall, I'd take Deak again.

Dr. Deak is definitely one of my favorite professors. He gives practice tests before the actual exam and lets you keep your exam, is a fair grader, he's so passionate about chem and it's so cute. If I had to take chem again with him I would do it in a heartbeat. He gives homework that helps if you do it but its not mandatory

Dr. Deak is the best option for chem. Very clear, approachable, and more than willing to help. It's not an easy A but if you put in the time and effort you'll do well. Don't assume because he doesn't grade homework that you don't have to do it. They helped me a lot when preparing for exams. Go see him during office hours too he's a great guy.

Dr. Deak is a nice man but this class is beyond difficult. I studied for weeks for one test and would still do poorly and I had a tutor and went to his office hours every week. Avoid at all costs!

I heard Dr. Deak was fairly easy and his tests were based off of the homework. Although this is true, the problems were worded differently and it was difficult to me because his tests are 98% multiple choice, so no partial credit. Stay on top of the homework and ask for help if you need it. However I would not recommend.

Dr. Deak is a good professor with but gives exams that favor the difficult side. BUT, he is extremely helpful through office hours. He is an average teacher for lecture but for CHEM, all you have to do is practice, practice, practice. His tests are fair and apply concepts through problems which is important in testing how much you know. I recommend

I absolutely loved Dr. Deak. He's adorable and he really makes chemistry understandable. One of the sweetest most genuine professors I've taken. I absolutely recommend him. *Keep in mind* Its not an easy "A"! You have to work for it. Stay on top of the home works. You don't hand them in, but they help a whole lot.

Dr. Deak is absolutely brilliant! I love this man! If you want a solid foundation for chemistry, take this guy! I took him for GEN CHEM 112 and he made even the most confusing of topics perfectly understandable. He is truly a nice guy too! If you are struggling or just want to go through homework problems, he is more than willing to help! :)

Comment:
Definitely one of the easier options for gen chem but can go annoyingly slow. You're always behind all the other sections. Other than that, he makes every concept crystal clear and gives detailed notes so you learn a lot. If you have a good background in high school chem or better yet took AP Chem, this class will be easy.
