Comment:

Such a nice professor! Offers so much extra credit and his canvas quizzes help your grade a lot! Thought I would fail chem but I ended up getting an A! Got a D on the first test and an A on the second! He drops the lowest exam and I ended up passing the final with a C! If I can do it you most definitely can!

hes the sweetest and kindest person ever! he truly wants his students to pass his course and does everything he can to help you, I ended up passing the course with over 100% (he drops lowest test, gives tons of EC, and his SI leader is the best) also if you go to his office hour he will literally give you the answers to the hw! truly the sweetest

Comment:

I never withdrew from a class before until this one. I wouldn't recommend his class unless it is the only hard class you will be taking and/or chemistry comes naturally to you. You will have to do a lot of reading, self teaching and staying after classes for TA sessions in order to pass this class. You need a clicker to participate for attendance.

Comment:

Take chemistry whenever you have time, i did with 17 credits (not a good idea). He is really good at his class yet it is a requirement for you to read on your own. Homework can be overwhelming when you dont know the topic due to time. You can pass the class with a C in all tests (drops 1).

Comment:

Buy his book of lecture notes, show up to class, do the homework. If you have half a brain and can retain information or take educated guesses on tests you'll be fine. The grading is super lenient, you can literally get a C on all the tests and pass the class with an A.

Comment:

Professor Huchital is very sweet. He truly wants all his students to succeed in chemistry and is always willing to help the best he can. The material is difficult and homework is very time consuming but that is expected since it is chemistry. If you put in effort and pay attention in class you should be fine. Go to the free SI sessions as well

Comment:

prof. huchital is a great teacher. he curves the exams, drops one of them, gives homework (helps grade a lot), gives a lot of extra credit, and answers any questions you have. go to class because he does iclicker and if you skip that itll destroy your grade. i finished w a 101 A and did terrible in highschool chem so if i can do it so can you.

Comment:

The lectures were easy to follow, but it's chemistry so it'll be difficult here and there. The only thing I didn't like was when he did examples on the board he just wrote everything down without explaining where numbers were coming from. Everything else was fine.

Comment:

I regularly skipped lectures in this class. Just make sure you do your homework and extra credit. I ended up needing a 35% or above to get an A+. I got a 104% overall grade. Super easy if you put time into it. As long as you dont slack off, youll be fine. Remember its a chemistry course, its not going to be a walk in the park.

I actually did not attend most of the lectures, I worked with a tutor. I failed the first two quizzes and did great on the third one and the final. I ended up passing the class with over 100 points. Do your homework and you will be fine.

Professor Huchital is a great chemistry professor. His lectures can be a little hard to understand since he tends to talk low, but sit in the front and you'll be fine. Do all homework and extra credit! Exams are not bad and there's a curve for each. Lowest test grade is dropped. I wish he would teach chem 2 but overall nice guy and nice professor.

Comment:

although attendance isn't mandatory I would recommend everyone going for the clicker points. There is so much extra credit - if you do all the homework and get a good grade in the discussion class and have a good amount of clicker credit you will pass this class with at least a B+ if you get an average of 55ish on all your exam(including final).

Comment:

He is sometimes difficult to understand. I passed the class with an average of a high C on my exams and a D on the final. I did all of the homework, minimal extra credit, but got an A in lab and discussion. The course is ppt based and it's helpful to buy the printout version.

Doesn't take attendance. Lecture&PP in a book form u could buy. The people I know who did go to lecture said that lecture didn't even help them. Kinda boring lecture & goes off PP. Hw & book online. Easy quiz after every lecture to help ur grade. Extra credit quizzes in hw section too. Do all ur hw, quizzes, & EC, you'll pass even if fail the tests

Okay, so I recommend Huchital for Chem 1. It is a difficult course which requires a lot of extra help either through attending SI sessions or looking up youtube video but his lectures are hard to follow so I felt it was important to find other ways to learn. Make friends in the class quick!! and form study group chats, trust me it is important.

I didn't really understand Professor Huchital during lectures, but he is willing to help you out. If you know you're not that good in chemistry I would definitely recommend doing all the homework and extra credit. He gives plenty of extra credit to help your grade. Also, attend Si sessions it really helped me out with the material covered.

The homework and extra credit can make or break your grade. This was my second time taking this class and I passed because of this professor. Lectures are very heavy for understanding the material but class isn't that dreadful. I enjoyed this class way more taking it with this professor the second time.

Comment:

Dr. Huchital is very caring and gives so so so much extra credit and even curves every exam by at least 10 points so this class is honestly very very easy. I just don't think he is the best at explaining chemistry and he can be confusing at times. Honestly I kinda pay attention to his lectures but learn through the homework more so and on my own.
