Reviews of professor Berhanu Zewde

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Zewde is a nice guy, but he is an AWFUL lab professor. His accent makes him hard to understand and isn't very clear with what he wants you to do. Although he is helpful when you ask him questions in lab, he is inaccessible outside of class and does not answer his emails. If you want a good grade in Gen Chem lab, DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Do not take this professor! His lecturers consist of reading directly from the slides the online textbook provides; no practice questions, no clarification on anything, and has a temper. Dont bother coming to the class because you can teach yourself a whole better than he can. Claimed to not have ever seen the ACS exam, too. Worst prof in the dep.

He has a thick accent and is so picky with his grading. He tries to be helpful and explain the lab but it's actually hard to understand him. Quizzes are just stuff from the textbook and lab manual. Definitely not the best lab instructor.

He goes over all of the labs with you after he hands them out and discusses what made you lose points. Make sure to follow what he says for the future lab assignments and you'll be good. The quizzes he hands out pretty much every class are much harder than those of any of the other professors so make sure you read the lab manual before class.

Thick accent, not accessible outside of class, tough grader if you don't know what he's looking for but once you get it, you'll be fine. Wouldn't recommend and he took 10% off my final because I circled one question in the packet.
