Reviews of professor Marat Orazov

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Orazov didn't always have the most exciting lectures but did a decent job answering questions during class. Test questions are hard but he's good with giving partial credit. Exams were half closed book and half open book/notes. Make sure you get the actual textbook and not the online version. It's expensive but you'll need it for exams.

Professor Orazov was a pretty good professor for Thermo, but his exam questions seemed a little unreasonable considering what was taught in class or on the homework. That being said, the homeworks do help with exams. Start the project early, the deadline will sneak up on you

Dr. Orazov was a really nice guy, and a solid teacher for thermo I. His exam questions were pretty difficult. His lectures were decent, but it was important to go back and re read the slides after class as they had lots of info. He was very clear when answering questions. Problem sets were hard but that's expected. If you put in the work, you pass

Orazov is improving on his lecturing style, but can be hard to follow. Thermodynamics is very difficult and dense, the homework/project takes forever to do, and the exams are rough. CHEG231 has the workload of two or three 3-credit courses, but at least the grading curve reflects this a little bit. Good luck, future CHEGs!

Tbh, his lecture is more boring than Buttrey's, but you don't have the choice because they both lecture the class. You can know who makes which questions on the exams, and Orazov's always the hardest one. I can see that he knows the material SO WELL but he has to improve his teaching style. He's new and that's fine. To future CHEG's students, gl :)

Lecture slides are the primary method of teaching, with occasional chalkboard explanations. Tests are fairly straightforward with what is on it. Study hard because the tests won't come easy other wise. Homeworks are also pretty straightforward with what they expect.
