Comment:

Dr. Papadim is one of the best chemistry professors I've had. He cares about his students and keeps the material engaging by throwing in jokes. Difficult class but he does a great job explaining. I recommend doing a lot of practice problems and attending the SI sessions to keep up. The material can be hard, but definitely take it with Papadim.

Comment:

Papadim is a very genuinely nice guy. You can tell he loves what he's doing and cares about our success, however he just doesn't have the best lecture material. You would do better in the class if you skipped lecture and watched another professors lecture videos instead. The tests are very hard so prepare to work hard.

Comment:

Papadim is a great guy, he clearly wants all of his students to do very well and tries to help as much as he can. The tests are just ridiculous and none of the professors are on the same page. If you're not good at chem avoid this class at all costs and take it a community college over the summer.

Papadim. Loved him like a father. he always connects the chemistry to real life situations. He loves to explain the meaning of life which is nice and he can throw a few jokes in there as well. He says you have to study a lot and he's not wrong. Definitely suggest taking him. he's a great guy

Comment:

Papadim really cares for his students. He is from Greece so he has an accent but he makes sure he is understood. He teaches the material very well and very thoroughly. I would recommend him. This is a hard class so if you need help go see him or go to supplemental instruction. Supplemental instruction boosted me up a letter grade from Chem 1127.

Comment:

He mumbles as he goes through the notes. If I didn't know any better I would think he had no clue what he was talking about, actually that's a possibility. Just rewrites his slides so you are better off reading the book. He has no clue what is going on in the class. Might as well take it with Salempenar.
