Comment:

If you can take somebody else besides him, then do so! His lectures are literally power points he reads off the board, which you have access to online. He's very rude and treats his class like high school students. No phone, no eating snacks, and when you get up to use the restroom or to leave, he WILL question you!

This class can either be an easy A or a bad grade depending on your work ethic. ppl complaining simply did not put in the effort. Do all attempts of homework, all practice exams, and thoroughly understand the material and the tests will be exactly like what you have seen. Don't be afraid to ask for credit back on test problems and communicate

Comment:

Chem at UH is bad. Tests are heavy and based from luck. Reads verbatim from ppts so people just skip. Lecture don't reflect the vigor of the tests. Prof is strict about no phones. Not approachable either. If you want A, you must study and practice constantly. Even that is not guaranteed because tests are from luck. Best tools to study: PT & HW.

I thought he was amazing, really nice guy and people don't give him enough credit. He's funny and kind and will always go out of his way to answer your questions. He also encourages participation in class and it was always appreciated. Really sweet professor. And he always gives you points back if you challenge a question you got wrong on the exam.

Comment:

For me, chem seemed like more math than science. He posts all his lecture slides online so I just studied off of those and youtube videos. He literally reads the slides word for word. The only thing I got out of going to the lectures were the answers to practice problems. Make sure you understand the material on the slides well & you'll be ok.

Comment:

Doesn't teach, but instead reads off powerpoints that you can access online. He is a little arrogant and rude, and makes it hard to ask questions. If you don't email him in a proper format, follow all procedures, then he won't help you. Half our class fails every test. Attendance is not mandatory, get a group and teach yourselves.

Comment:

Says attendance is mandatory. It is not. weekly homework assignments. If you are bad at chem. get a study group or go to tutoring because in a lecture of 500 your problems are not going to be addressed by the professor. Textbook is a nice addition to have but not really mandatory just use power points if you feel confident enough.

Comment:

Each week has an online homework assignment. Says attendance is mandatory but in a lecture of 200+ it does not really matter. Lecture notes are posted before lecture and can be done without lecture. Textbook is recommended for those who are weak in chemistry and would like extra help. 3 non accumulative and 1 major accumulative test.

Comment:

The class was okay. It was a big class, but there would be less and less people every time since the professor didn't check attendance. I never used the textbook I only printed the worksheets before every class to take notes. There is HW every week and the tests are easy if you study the worksheets.

Comment:

To simply put it, this class was a waste of my time. All this professor did was read off of his slides and you were better off studying by yourself. I stopped going to class mid semester. Also, the test questions were randomized so you were either lucky to get easy questions on the test or you were unlucky. :(

Comment:

If your a sophomore or even freshman dont take this man. He threatens to take phones away, the homework has way more difficult problems than the ones explained in class and he lies about dropping the lowest homework which is stated in syllabus. He dont go in depth and just reads from slides and randomly takes attendance.

This is definitely a self-study class. Either you get lucky or unlucky with the test bank. The content is not that bad compared to actual chem at UH so its easy to understand. I stopped going to class because all he did was read off the slides. Just look through his powerpoints and use all attempts w/ the Homeworks and you'll for sure get an A.

Comment:

If you are the type of person who does not like teaching themselves, DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS ! If you are like me and like things straight to the point, do not expect this from Roman. He will overcomplicate material and you will be confused from his lectures. I read the book front to back (a chapter per week) and I passed, but the final is HARD!!

From the 1st day of class you can tell that this is going to be a challenging course. I would advice study groups. Make sure to read the book and the homework and test yourselves and if you can do that then you should be alright on the Exams. Not very much explaining on coursework so maybe try tutoring .Overall have time for the class and do the hw

If you read the chapters and go to class there's no way you won't get an A. The lectures are good and really simplify everything.

The Professor is horrible.... He does not answer questions if you have any, and tends to skip over sections, to pass the class you will definitely be better off self studying (youtube).

Excellent professor, replies to emails promptly. With that being said, you have to self study to make an A. If you are not doing text book problems or working your way through other resources it will be hard to make an A. overall easy class.

You pretty much teaching yourself if you do take this professor . I recommend you watch Tom teets YouTube videos to help you thru this class like I did .
