Reviews of professor Lior Sepunaru

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Sepunaru has to be one of the best professors I've had so far. His lectures are engaging and really makes you think about the real life implications of the stuff you learn. He is extremely encouraging and is there to help you succeed. Go to office hours and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Dr. Sepunaru is one of the most down to earth professors in this department. Unlike some of the professors in this department who will laugh in your face for asking dumb questions or rush through material without explanation, he really teaches for your understanding. Pchem is still difficult, but the vibes of his classes are phenomenal.

One of the best educators I have had! If you have a genuine interest in the material you will succeed. Although content is inherently tough, as he pulls heavily from physical chemistry topics, the applications in exams are doable if you truly understand the material conceptually. Go to office hours! He is very accessible and friendly.

100% my favorite professor at UCSB. He so easily grabbed my attention every lecture. I loved how he makes a lecture feel like a small discussion section by asking many questions. All of his assessments were reasonably fair and graded very easily. Everything was communicated very clearly and overall, he made this class a good experience.

Simply the best professor I had. His lectures and exams are intellectually demanding and he expected you to have a much deeper understanding of the concept compared to Chem 1B. Much emphasis is put on mathematical proof and if you have poor background in calculus (like me) you will suffer. However it still worth the price because he is amazing

If you're taking this class just for a pre-major req, then this professor is not for you. He delves into the topics more deeply than other gen chem profs, but if you go to his office hours, he breaks down the topics well. Also, his free response tests are hit or miss, but partial credit is godsend! Go to office hours and review lecture problems.

Lior is one of the best professors I've had so far as a junior at UCSB. He takes his time in lecture to make sure everyone understands. His office hours are very interesting and helpful as well. I would totally recommend having him as a professor.

He is very helpful, perhaps too helpful. He really spend a lot of time to explain stuffs that people don't really understand, but that makes the class a bit too slow. However, I guess pchem for biochem students isn't really a tough course, so he's probably a fairly reasonable professor.
