This class was asynchronous with prerecorded lectures during the summer. I appreciated this because I could pace myself. I will say the homework problems assigned could be excessive, but that's to be expected when it's summer session.

Pros
- Asynchronous
- Slides were clear, and lectures were clear
- You could email him or post on the Canvas discussion board if you had a question - other students could also answer questions
- Exams were fair
- The "final" wasn't cumulative - it was just the last 2 weeks of the course (so technically, there were 3 exams that tested you on different topics)

Cons
- Homework can be long and tedious, especially if you don't have the answer immediately
- Summer session can feel very fast paced - I fared well because I took AP Chemistry in high school, but I still had to brush up on YouTube videos and do a lot of practice problems

Overall, just make sure you do the practice problems and understand all of the homework problems he assigns. Exams are not that difficult, but they still require a level of understanding.

Participation doesn't matter so that slays but I don't feel like the prof is as good as everyone hypes him up to be. He goes SUUUUPER FAST!! And u have to do hella practice probs bc his tests were hard IMO. But if there's no other choices, then u can def do well in this class if u work for it

!!! THIS REVIEW IS NOT FOR 14B BUT FOR 14BL !!! (I can’t find a 14BL review section for him)

Okay to get started I’m a person that is very slow chemistry learner. I absolutely HATED this class because it had so much workload so if you take this class make sure you don’t take a lot of science heavy classes because it would be a lot. The content was easy to understand if you paid attention in lecture and went to office hours , there was no text book so gaining info from yours TAS is the best thing to do. The instructions for post or pre labs were never exactly straightforward but that is not DR.Ows fault. Now on Dr, ow, he was always helpful in office hours so that was nice.

Apart from that HIS EXAMS were honestly the best. I think he’s the only professor I’ve had at ucla that actually stuck to the same content as the practice tests. Before the midterm he gave out 6 practice tests and honestly I recommend going over the midterm study guide to make sure you know each topic that is what seriously helped me in the final and midterm. HIS FINAL WAS PERFECT ! I found questions that were either from his practice final or from the practice midterms so seriously go back and look over those. For the final we had 3 hours but most finished it in 1 ( he makes you stay until it’s 30 minutes before the exam ends which kind of sucks.)

Overall: He was a great person and his exams were great. Workload was way too much Im not even joking.
