I think he genuinely cares about how his students, it's just up to you to reach out for help. He's a nice guy and doesn't make you feel stupid when you ask questions. I would be in his class for ochem 2 if I could. He's a solid 3.5",

He is very knowledgeable about the subject, but blasts through the slides way too fast for anyone to get anything useful out of lecture, even if you looked at the slides before class.",
