Comment:

Not easy to communicate with, but he does his best... your grade will rely on your test scores so STUDY the review he gives you very well and you'll pass no problem--but they can be very time consuming as the reviews can range from 50 to 120 questions long. Do not miss class or you will be lost! He gives you bonus points for perfect attendance.

Comment:

Dr. Uzomba is the best Chemistry teacher at ACC at the moment. His tests are multiple choice and easy to get an A. His class is the best class i have ever taken and i am not sure i will ever come across any nice, smart and caring professor like Dr. Uzomba. On a scale of 10 i rate him 10

Comment:

Strong accent makes it difficult to understand at some concepts. However main issue was that if you don't already know the subject you will not pass as he already expects you to know it.

Comment:

In class, he was clear for the most part and always encouraged questions, but when myself or someone around me asked a question he would make us feel uneducated and that we didn't belong in his class if we didn't understand that concept immediately. I will say though that if you put in the work and STUDY you will pass.

Comment:

Isnt always the best at communicating. I took him for lab and found myself and others often confused. However he is a kind teacher and was willing to curve grades if he saw the whole class struggling with a subject. Wasnt very clear on the grading criteria to the point nobody knew if we had a lab final until the lab before. (We didnt)

Uzomba is a fantastic Professor. Pretty much a crazy Genius. Focus and take all the notes you can. Real Step Up would be getting him a bottle of Brandy on the first/Last Day of Class. He wants to Help you if you let him.

Comment:

Very intense Chem class, with grade only determined by tests & final. My average for each test taken was almost 3 hours!!! DO NOT MISS CLASS or you will be lost. Uzomba goes very fast, but has great insight/shortcuts. I only say that I would take this professor again because he is a hilarious character & very smart professor

Comment:

Great sense of humor and personality, but not so great teacher. Tests were multiple choice, so no extra credit. His accent wasn't the issue at all- it was the way he explained the concepts. I dropped and I am doing better with another professor. His teaching style just didn't jive with me. Exams make up entire grade- no extra credit, homework, etc.

Comment:

This teacher is downright demeaning. He lectures in a yelling voice, encourages you to ask questions but gets mad when things get slowed down and no one understands what hes talking about. Concepts that he made so difficult were explained perfectly on YouTube. Hes a terrible explainer, sadly. Hes too advanced to teach down. Waste of my time.

Comment:

Uzomba was a little hard to understand at times with his accent. but he's very funny, super nice, and made class entertaining. Subject matter was hard and he wasn't the BEST at explaining, but he makes the tests based on the study guides, so as long as you DO THEM front to back, you will do well on the exams. he'll help you when you need it.

Comment:

Professor Uzomba is funny,but not the best teacher. Love him but not as a professor. He teaches as if we already get the concepts. Accent sometimes hard to understand. To sum up this class, everything on our tests- I taught MYSELF, OUTSIDE of class. Using his study guides, I learned the material via youtube, google, class notes, & book.

Great professor !! If you want to have fun while learning chem, take him. If you are willing to go to class and keep up with the material take him !! He makes hard concepts easy.

Comment:

This professor is remarkably good. I don't understand what these students are saying. If they did poorly its because wanted to ! If you go to lecture and do the reviews you are sure to get the concepts and an A. He has a passion for chemistry and very good teaching skills. I'm taking ochem II now and Dr Uzomba gave me a solid foundation.

Comment:

Took Uzomba for intro to chem. He holds two Chemistry PhDs and DOES NOT know how to teach down. He taught like we all knew what he was talking about. No homework but for an introductory class the prof should use something to know where students are with the concepts. The tests were the same as the reviews so everyone passed by memorizing answers.

Comment:

Haven't had chem in 15 yrs. I worked my a** off in this class & spent at least 12-15 hrs a week in learning labs getting help w/reviews. He gives 3 points to your final score for not missing any classes (and he takes role). If you can do the reviews (expect numbers to change) then you can get an A. Took effort but tests are just like reviews.

Comment:

He is happy and upbeat, but, for me, he moved too fast to understand anything and seemed to purposefully ask us to solve problems in class that we did not yet have the knowledge / tools to solve. He seemed to care very little for our ability to understand the material. If it hadn't been for the learning labs, I doubt I would have passed.

Comment:

His accent is hard to understand, but that aside he's not very clear with what he wants. When over half the class doesn't bring in the right assignment because of the way he explained it, there's a problem. He also enjoys making students feel stupid and will call on you just to laugh. Would not take again.
