I did not like this class. I did like Toumari.
I really struggled because this was my first quarter at UCLA and I had the classic "I don't need to study" mindset and ended up with a 47% on the second midterm. The grading scheme was fairly lenient so I ended up with an A-, but the midterm was definitely humbling. Lectures were typically not too bad to follow along with and they were recorded. Weekly quizes/homework online, but we were allowed multiple tries and lost minimal points if we had to retry questions, so it wasn't too bad. There were several times that he shuffled around the grading scheme in response to student complaints and he eventually made the HW worth more and the midterms worth less. (thank god) I took this for Toumari's first quarter teaching at UCLA, so I'd imagine future quarters have been/will be smoother. With that said, this class is what made me decide to no longer be premed lol.

Assignments: only online quizzes using inclusive access, has no limits and no consequences if you get some wrong
2 midterms and 1 final
study ! it will a lot easier if you study study study

Arman is the sweetest cutest man ever. He is down to earth but kinda not approachable as he is quite awkward. But he tests exactly from the slides and is very clear in his lectures going point by point. His quizzes were tough at first but got easier. Homework was graded but incorrect answers were very very small penalty. The TA sessions were kinda useless but that was during the strike.

Overall, I really liked the class and wish every chem class was like him

Horrible teacher. Should be fired. I got an A, but that is only because I took IB Chemistry HL. Fun fact, my high school chemistry teacher was incompetent as well. I suppose it is a trend. Either way, I'd recommend becoming self-sufficient to the level of being able to learn chemistry (general, organic, and biochemistry) on your own because the teachers are all incompetent.
