Pros: Don't really need to pay attention in class you can do what you like

i like him because he seems to care about his students. his workload was very light having just one homework each week and it always had extra credit which is great!
however, the final was difficult even though he gives a practice exam.

Pros: If you keep up with homework and clicker questions you should keep your grade up, not a bad chem to be in, lets you use graphing calcs
Cons: not a great teacher in his own right, rather boring
As long as you study hard for the tests you have no reason not to succeed in the class, gives kids opportunity to succeed.

Dr. Andrei always posts up the midterms from the previous year which is the same in format so it makes his midterms a lot easier.

His lectures are really hard to understand without reading the book beforehand. Read Read Read if you wish to pass his class! Review past exams that he gives you on blackboard. His exams are extremely similar to his past exams. A tip for doing ARIS HW online: Open two or more tabs of the same homework. If you get the question wrong, you can try it again.

He has a heavy russian accent and it's hard to understand him sometimes. There are clicker questions every day and sometimes there's bonus clicker questions. His exams are fair and he puts up old exams online for you to review. Overall, a pretty good professor.

He's a good professor, but it is hard to understand him. He doesn't go directly from the text, but reading it is helpful. There is homework due, but no pop quizzes.
