Comment:

Mohseni is by far 1 of the best chem profs at ETSU. A lot of people say he is one of the more difficult profs to study under, I disagree. He gives you ONLY what and EVERYTHING you need to know to do well on the exams. Go to class, print his notes you will have no problem leaving here with and A. Only downfall (department wide) no extra credit.

Hes a really good guy. If you put in the work needed to learn the material, it wont be bad. He really cares about teaching and should definitely be the chemistry professor of choice. He will answer every question you and ask him and makes sure you understand why its that way. Great teacher with hard material to learn.

Tests are definitely challenging, but he explains the material well. Go to class, it makes studying and learning the material so much easier. Also, make sure you know how do all of the connect problems, they are a good representation of his test.

Mohseni is a really good teacher and really wants you to get an A. It is a hard class regardless of who teaches it, just do the connect problems over and over again and you should be fine for the tests.

Comment:

This is a difficult class no matter who you take. This was my second go around, but Mohseni seemed more concerned than my past professor. The first test was the hardest (mostly memorization) so don't get too discouraged if you don't do well. Make sure to study the homework assignments before the test I felt like a lot of the questions were rehashed

Tests are fairly difficult. Go to class, he doesn't always take attendance, but it will make the class easier if you do. Review connect homework problems, they are always a few on the test. Would recommend Mohseni over the other chem 1 instructors!

Seriously, this class was a breeze. Mohseni is a fantastic teacher and explains how to do all of the problems very well. Was easy to get ahold of and always responded with in a couple hours of sending an email. Gives you the answers to the quizzes and homework so you can study for the exams. Truly a gem at ETSU for chemistry.

Mohseni is a great teacher given that he has to teach a hard class. He is very personable and really tries to work with you to the best of his abilities. This class overall is very hard so be prepared to work hard and put in some effort. Beware of the lab instructors they are not very helpful. Overall Mohseni is a teacher I would recommend.

Comment:

Tough class, great teacher. Dense material, must study outside of class. Makes chemistry digestible as a student. Only complaint would be the lab section. Lab midterm and final tests were difficult to study for because we were told to study all labs, which is an absurd amount of information to be tested on. Other than lab, great class.

Comment:

Mohseni is a pretty good teacher, but Chemistry is a hard class. He works lots of problems on the board, and goes through all the steps fairly clearly. He's way better than the other teachers, so take from him if you take this class. I wouldn't have passed if it wasn't for outside resources though, so come prepared and ready to work for grades.

Dr. Mohseni is an amazing professor. This class was an easy A. Print out the notes that he puts on D2L and the class will be a breeze. Hes hilarious and an overall great professor. People say his class is hard because Chemistry is a hard subject, but if you pay attention and really try to learn the material, youll be fine. Amazing class.

Comment:

Dr. Mohseni is a great profesor. Lectures are helpful, especially the lecture guides. He clearly defines his expectations for each test and is willing to help students with homework or lab work. If you attend 80% of the lectures your lowest test grade is dropped. Chemistry is a hard class and studying is a must, but with Mohseni an A is possible.

Dr. Mohseni is amazing. If you go to class and take good notes, it is an easy A. Whenever you have questions, he is always willing to help you in his office. Others complain that he is hard,but its because they never pay attention. He has a little accent but easy to understand. I would highly recommend him.

Comment:

He grades exams very quickly and is always asking if the class has question. If you have questions, ASK. He also has a great sense of humor which is very helpful in keeping students engaged in such a difficult course. Challenging class; you get back what you put in to it. Print out his notes and pay attention in class.

Lecture teaches you nothing, his "notes" vaguely relate to the test material, and his exams are nearly impossible to make above a 50 on.

Dr. Mohseni is honestly a great guy. He does teach quickly, but there are SI sessions to help you if you need it. I love his class so far!

Comment:

Dr. Mohseni is a great professor, but chemistry is not an easy subject so you have to work for your grade. He explains very clearly and is very accessible outside of the class. His lecture guides are a life saver, and he gives "study" guide so no curve balls are thrown at you. He is very equation heavy so make sure you memorize them.

Comment:

Explains things well, but tests are impossible. The grading scale in the chem department is much more lenient than average, but it doesn't help. I am an honors student but could barely pull a 50 on any of his tests. Not worth it if you care about your grade.
