Reviews of professor Lalit Deshmukh

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
not recommend to take it with lalit. he is a good teacher but talks way too slow. and that even though he tires to break down the concept for you but that if you do not have a strong chem background, dont take it with him. really nice, really funny and caring, however, accent and slow words make class extremely hard to understand.

I've taken an intro chem course and made it half way through Gen Chem A at CC before dropping due to covid, it made it a little easier to follow along. The second exam was super hard due to all the formulas for the quantum theory chapters. I did really bad on that one, but still managed to get an A. Make sure you do the homework! It's what saved me

So for the first exam, I asked if I could use Google Doc notes for the open-notes test and he got angry. Why? Because he thought Google Docs was some kind of cheating device. He's THAT old. Class test averages vary between 60-70%. My first test got curved 3 times from 69% to 96%. Class homework averages are as low as 80%. Just take CHEM6A at CC.

His lectures can be a bit boring, but he shows that he cares about his students by providing assignments that actually help you learn the material. His tests are very fair and if you keep up with the material you will earn a good grade.

This professor is awesome. He is very caring and takes time during lecture to answer every students question. Lectures can be heavy, especially when you get into the quantum chemistry chapters, but if you put in the time to study and do homework you will pass. He also provides extra credit opportunities. Professor Deshmukh is a great teacher.

He understands the material well and is a really nice guy. There was only one homework set a week and 3 non-cumulative exams total. Not that much work. Allows crib sheets for tests. Recorded lectures and overall pretty accommodating.
