This class is overall ridiculous and requires hours and hours of studying, but this is Jasons first semester teaching and he did a pretty good job. He isnt a very good teacher, but he definitely makes an effort to try to address the problems that students have. His lecture slides are very useful in studying for exams.

Prof Zhang is very knowledgeable in the field. He listens to every suggestion and critique that students have to bring. He uploads videos where he goes over the entire chapter and the exams as well. Go in this class with an open mind and be prepared to do a lot of practice problems and studying. One of the best chem profs in the department.

Professor Zhang is a pretty chill professor. While there were a few hiccups here and there in the course, he made sure everyone did well in his class. Definitely pay attention to his lectures and drill down the homeworks, as they mostly imitate the exams. He made the curve extremely generous for the class too.

As dreadful as this course is, I think that Professor Zhang really tries his best to teach this course. He tries to compare a lot of the concepts by using analogies to help us. However, the course is only based off of 3 midterms, and your final is 50% of your grade. It is a hard course, so I would suggest getting the textbook to learn most.
