Reviews of professor Husam Abbasi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Abasi is probably one of the best professors for gen chem 1 and 2, his lectures are not based of the text book and he teaches the easiest way to solve problems and although he may be intimidating during lecture, he encourages students to ask questions. Also he is very participation heavy and lets you know whats gonna be on the exams. Easy A

Has good office hours, will help you extensively with lab reports. Tests were similar to questions from slides and from his review questions. Was prepared well for the ACS. Hard to understand sometimes, but approachable. He goes pretty fast, so I recommend recording lectures and listening to them as you go through his notes on OneNote.

Passive aggressive, slow with grading, grades labs SUPER harsh without giving much reasoning, when u go to him to explain something he acts like u just asked the dumbest question ever, take ANY other prof!!

If you go to lecture, do the problems he has on OneNote, do the practice problems (very similar to his exams), you shouldn't get below an 85 on any exam. He is short-tempered and grades lab weird sometimes but only three exams, about 4% extra credit on each one, and the exams are fair.

Proffesor Abbasi is a good person for sure. He is nice and funny. However, he definitely grades hard without much structure. He is a good teacher but compared to some of the other chem teachers, his tests are harder and his lab reports don't have a clear rubric. A lot of the upperclassman hype him up fs, but he isn't as good as people have said

class is super free if ur alr familiar w chem. if not, u need to study a bit outside of class and make sure to go to every lecture. get lab w him as early as possible bc he makes labs due at the same time for all his lab classes. gave extra credit that improved my grade by 2 percent. curves the exams like crazy (6-at least 10 percent).
