Comment:

hardest professor to understand. He doesnt give slides and because of his accent, it is very hard to follow through. gives us 24-hour tests that usually takes up the whole day to do even if you studied (and no you can't find answers online or find out how to solve online). He doesn't care about online kids at all, especially in his lab.

Comment:

Avoid at all costs. Although he makes it clear what is on the tests, he makes the tests very hard and partial credit is practically nonexistent. He doesn't care if you don't understand the material, so do not even bother going to office hours, you'll leave feeling horrible about yourself because he belittles his students. He also can barely teach.

Comment:

As a person this guy isn't the worst. Had online lab with him due to corona and the class was horrible. the lab reports are not clear at all and he accused us all of cheating one week due to a mistake he made. toughest grader you'll meet, make sure u don't make 1 mistake bc he will literally give u a 30 on labs. Avoid this prof if you can

Comment:

He is rude, but he is passionate about the material. If you don't let his roasts get to you personally, HE IS HILARIOUS. Do the homework 5 times over and you will get an A on the test/class. Don't be lazy and you are guaranteed to succeed. Don't take chemistry or be in college if you don't put in the effort.

Comment:

Many students don't like him for lectures, but I honestly love his classes. He may seem rude and seem like he's attacking you during class but he is honest and passionate about his work. I'm not the best test taker which usually would put my grade down, but his tests are straightforward. The only part I don't like is that there is no partial credit

Very tough professor, make you want to cry when you participate. His accent is so thick that it is very difficult to understand him. He has an attitude and is very rude to students. makes everyone feel anxious and doubts about what they are doing. I would not recommend whatsoever.

Comment:

Honestly not a bad professor. 40 questions per every chapter - you get the answers&work. Most ques repeated in hw. Memorize the hw, youll get a perfect score. Exams are just hw for every 3 ch. He is mean, belittles you, might make you want to cry -passable. Wish extra credit for hw or attendance class. Lecture useless besides hw problems given.

Comment:

The WORST professor by far at LIU. Not just a horrible professor, but person as well. He is extremely rude and would rather fail you than actually put effort into teaching a decent lecture which is *shocker* what most teachers are supposed to do. Incoming freshmen DO NOT TAKE, he will make you want to drop out/transfer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment:

Terrible ! Lectures feel like theyre 3 hours long. He told all the students at the beginning of the course that if there are any questions never hesitate to ask them. But every time you ask him something he gets incredibly annoyed at you. Impossible to understand. Gives 40 questions of homework every night and doesnt grade it! Horrendous.

Comment:

Worst professor that could possibly exist. Im normally an A student and Im failing in this course. I got a 39% on my first test with a tutor. This class is nearly impossible to pass especially if chemistry a weak subject for you. The professor admitted himself that 90 percent of the class will fail the next test. Way to uplift your students.

Comment:

He may be an ok teacher,but he is complex & his attitude is ridiculous. He's disrespectful&rude. Can't stand to be in his class. He gets inpatient&frustrated when u don't understand something. Like others said, he encourages u to ask questions&speak up, but when you do he raises his voice and seems angry. Which makes it hard to approach him

Comment:

I took him Chem 3 and wish I had for Chem 4. His lectures can be tough at first to understand but after you get the hang its simple. DO THE HW and do it again because his exams are exactly hw questions just with different numbers and you are only graded on how well you do on exams. The textbook is helpful because it has the hw. Like $60 rented.

Comment:

This class was extremely stressful and difficult. He does not do a good job explaining the topics in lecture and makes the students feel nervous and guilty if they don't understand something. Encourages students to ask questions but criticizes them for doing so. Tests are just like the homework questions, but good luck understanding the homework.

Comment:

The guy is a genius. If you're a slacker and don't do homework or read... then don't take the class... better yet just get out of the science field. You're in college to learn. Learn something. He will challenge you. And you will feel so accomplished when you learn the subject. Changed the way I learn for the better. I owe him my career.

Comment:

Do the homework when you get home, if you don't actually learn the problems from the hw the test is impossible. Lectures help you understand the hw, problems from hw is the test A is easy its only up to you and he says the same.

Awful teacher, makes everyone in the class feel nervous. Students don't want to answer questions in the class. He does not explain himself well and acts like he hates teaching. The tests are ridiculous and the entire class is failing!

He makes the whole class anxious about the lab. He doesn't give off a vibe that shows that he's approachable. He will make you feel dumb and want to drop out. His accent makes it very hard to understand him. He smells of tobacco. He is not a great teacher and he makes it seems as if its a burden for him to teach.
