Reviews of professor Balakrishnan Viswanathan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Unless you have lots of prior knowledge of chemistry, be prepared to teach yourself this entire course. Use his posted powerpoints and the book to study the chapters for midterms and finals. Though it takes half of his students to email him and interrupt his pointless lectures for him to specify the chapters he has apparently covered in lectures.

Super nice guy, just teaches things different from what you are given on the assignments and exams

super nice person but awful teacher... doesnt explain anything, just writes everything on lined paper. the midterms are nothing like lecture, basically just set up for failure
