Comment:
Easily the worst professor I've ever had. Disrespectful to students. Doesn't teach the material. Gets off topic easily. Rude. Routinely makes fun of disabled and international students. I don't know how he has a job.

Comment:
Funny, but teaches as if he has ADHD. He has a hard time staying on teaching subject and goes off about students and sports. Does not care and says so, says, "so what." Ask for help and may or may not help you if he feels like it. Tutors would be helpful if they actually remembered any of the material. Your best best is Kayla Noah or a Math Major.

I personally like him just because he is funny. However, if you don't have a basic understanding from is 121 or 122 or high school, you will struggle. he doesn't lecture well and gets off topic very easily. Be prepared to read the book (there's always a book, even if he says there isn't)

Comment:
The course material isn't hard- the problem is just that he doesn't explain or teach it. If you had a good high school chem class you'll be fine. If you didn't, good luck... He spends more time making jokes and chatting with students than actually teaching. Its hard to stay motivated to go to class because he doesn't explain anything anyways.

Comment:
Depending on your background knowledge prior to General Chemistry, the first semester is fairly easy; however, beware of semester two. If you don't like to keep up with material by coming to class, doing homework, constantly reviewing and asking questions, General Chemistry II will destroy you.

I think that he could work on spending more time teaching the students than trying to entertain them. He needs to slow down on his examples.
