Comment:
I received an A.... only because I taught myself, utilized tutors, had a great study group to depend on, read the text book word for word.... NOT because of this professor. For all I know this class should have been categorized under independent study! I'm not sure if he's still teaching, but i caution all you to keep your distance.

Took his class years ago. Still, to this day, he stands out as the worst teacher ever. Why a college would allow someone like that to teach is beyond me!

Avoid like the plague. This teacher is extremely confusing, disorganized and mean. The only thing you'll learn in his class is his favorite saying "In terms of that"

Comment:
What he goes over in class is easy to understand, but he doesn't go over enough to be helpful on exams. You're mainly teaching yourself the material and the exams are not easy especially with the all or nothing problems. I don't recommend his classes for people who are not strong in chemistry.

Do not take this professor! He makes you feel very dumb if you ask him a question and is a very unfair grader. His lectures are very boring and unclear. He is always late to class and very inorganized

Yeah, currently taking the class, more then 1/2 have dropped by midterms. They are right, he DOES make you feel stupid when you ask question, and the ONLY way plausible to PASS this class is if you treat it like a independent study class... wont learn sh*t from him, so DO your READING and you will most def pass. Teaches STRAIGHT from the book.

WHERE DO I START... HORRIBLE PROFESSOR, MAKES YOU FEEL STUPID WHEN YOU ASK HIM QUESTIONS, NOT A FAIR GRADER, IF YOU ARE NOT PASSING THE CLASS JUST KISS HIS ASS AND HE WILL PASS YOU, MOST OF ALL WHEN YOU ASK HIM ANYTHING IN CLASS HE WILL MAKE YOU FEEL STUPID BY ASKING YOU BACK THE SAME QUESTION IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS... DONT TAKE HIM!!!!!!

Unfortunately, all that has been said is true. He makes you feel incredibly stupid for asking him questions and he will point YOU out to the entire class saying that you have no common sense...abusive instructor. Not helpful, does not welcome questions, does not explain anything clearly, & expects you to know what he's talking about. STAY FAR AWAY!

He is not so bad if you study first and pay attention to his teaching. He doesn't like students who come to the class with empty brains. You need to be responsible for your own reading and learning, and he'll be helpful to answer your questions!

Omg, he the worst chemistry teacher ever, am so glad he retired because I feel bad for those that took him. You will not learn anything from him at all. More than half the class fail or drop.

Comment:
I took him in Winter, and at first he really took his time, but toward the end he had to rush to get all the material in. If he asks the class for an answer, don't mumble or else he'll make really sarcastic comments about how dumb he thinks you are. Anyway, he says he's retired now.

The exam questions are very easy for me. He didn't teach much during the class. You have to learn by yourselves by reading the book. If you do the homework regularly, I'm sure you will get good grade.
