Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Doesn't know how to prioritize lecture. Difficult mechanisms were introduced in the last 3 minutes of the class before tests, while spending days on easy concepts. Not clear with material, lecture offers no additional understanding. If you take him, be ready for hours searching for youtube reaction videos and reading the book for tests.Rate My Professors ↗

Helpful in office hours. Lots of resources available but not uploaded with enough time in advance to utilize. Lecture was straight from the book but crammed the important material and droned about concepts that were not applicable. Exams will blindside you if you don't know the book and even the expectations from the book are vagueRate My Professors ↗
Quality 4/5Difficulty 4/5
Very slow paced lecturer, but fast paced when he needs to cram some more material before exam, and if he can't cram some more stuff before exam, he'll tell you to read the book (-_-)... He's very nice and approachable though. STUDY AHEAD OF TIME!!! Chem 345 is no joke. A LOT OF MATERIAL! Try to get ahead of lectures. Practice!Rate My Professors ↗

Very slow lecturer. He accomplished what my professor last semester would accomplish in 15 minutes in each 50 minute lecture. He has a very generous curve on his tests, which can be difficult.Rate My Professors ↗

Easy exams with a lot of resources. Very helpful during office hour. Cute in a grandfather way. Must take O-chem with this guy.Rate My Professors ↗
