It is easy to stay focused because the teacher is very engaging and keeps you awake even at 8 am classes. He is very knowledgeable so write down all his notes and you will have all you need there to do good. He explains very well and you know what he expects of you because he gives practice tests and the tests are very similar to those and to the problems seen in class. Very fun class to be in. If you have questions, ask them in class as sometimes he is not available much in his office depending on his mood. Otherwise, very nice general chem teacher. Do his problem sets and you will do good. He is strict on lab reports but they dont count for that much. He doesnt post anything online, no grades or notes, just the practice and the labs, but he gives statistics for the tests in class.

I took him for General chem in fall 2023. He's crazy, and I mean it in the crazy scientist type of way. He will do random stuff all the time (scream in the middle of the class, repeat random words, sing weird songs), but I find that good, as it keeps you engaged. He writes a lot and his notes are pretty useful so write them down. He does a lot of theory too compared to other chemistry teachers: he will make you memorize scientists and what they did. There's not much homework, he just assigns problem sets but they aren't graded, only for practice. He does 3 tests (all of them are thematic, and he always gives sample tests before) and the final exam. They aren't too hard if you study, though keep an eye on the theory part because that can sometimes mess you up. He gives a lot of partial marks so always write down your calculations. His labs are easy and he's easy on the due dates (he gives extensions sometimes). I have to say though, he might not be in the mood sometimes to answer questions after class and stuff so always ask during class. Overall, pretty good class, the teacher is very knowledgeable and funny, and it's not too hard if you study (especially the theory). I would recommend
