Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
doesn't care about your grade, and goes too fast paced.

The workload of this class was unreal. Not only was I overwhelmed, there was nobody to help. Half the chem tutors don't speak english, and the professor backseats teaching. I was brought to real tears by the workload. It was emasculating. Please, don't take this course.

In short do yourself a favor and DO not take chem with him. Unclear, unprofessional and heavy accent! Chem is hard but Professors like Elbek makes you hate the subject for the rest of your life

I loved taking chem 1 and 2 with Dr. K. He can seem stand offish at first, particularly in chem 1, but once you get to know him and start asking questions, he's a very funny guy. If you don't go to lecture, it's unlikely you'll pass just because the content is a bit tough to wrap your head around. Labs are fun and that's where you'll make friends

Dr. K is a good teacher, he's a funny guy who helps lighten the mood of the class. The labs really matter for this course, as they begin to add up but can help you nicely. The owl homework is a bit annoying for only counting at 5% (3hrs long). He is good at explaining concepts in a 1 on 1 environment. He does lecture pretty fast, watch out for that

DR. K is an excellent teacher. If the astute student reads the E-book and work through the problems in the book, then do homewrok; and finally work out the problem sets that Dr. K assigns theres no reason the student should not budget a A in the course. Of course it will require time and sacrifice but so does anything else worth getting.

The class is nigh impossible if you have other classes or work. I genuinely can not retain what he teaches, he does not go over labs at all unlike other professors, and just has the most impossible foreign accent.

I took Dr. K over the summer for CHEM 121 with lab. Taking it over the summer was a bit much but I did receive 5 credits for it. Make sure to show up to every lab and lecture to earn a good grade and chip at the unit homework before the day or two before the exam.

Unforgiving teacher who backseats learning and just does his job for a paycheck. Anything he says about wanting to see student growth contradicts the ways he cannot respond to emails, happily hands out bad grades for real effort, and is never involved with his students.

Really a fantastic professor - he's crystal clear about his expectations & grading criteria, and he's organized & teaches very systematically. He's kind, patient, & helpful if you have questions but will stick to grading/attendance policies. Quizzes/tests are based off of the problem sets, so make sure to do those & you'll be fine. Highly recommend
