Review from a student who took CHE350
Whatever you do, don't make him mad. He wanted to have a makeup class during dead days, and some people in the class, instead of telling him directly, complained to the department about it. The department got on his case, and he came back to us with a 3 hour final. It was originally only going to be an 1-hour final. The take home final talked about in the other post I think was specific to that semester, so don't expect one. As a professor, he was alright. I liked the class at the beginning, found it pretty interesting in fact. But once you get into test 2 material, well, bring a pillow.

Review from a student who took CHE 350
The class was easy and the test and homework was easy. The only problem was that he have no clue on how to lecture. he seems to have some problems in getting his message across. I recalled only a handful of people pay attention during his lecture while others did something else such as reading Daily Texan. Those people who pay attention in class didn't have to take the final and get A. While others have to take the fairly easy take home final. two midterm exams were pretty easy. Overall the class was easy but the instructor is terrible. Learn nothing but got good grade.
