Spring 2024 - Easiness – 3 – Its Organic chemistry, so by nature its going to be really hard, but to make it easier practice it every day, you have to if you want to keep up, otherwise you get will get swallowed just by how much content there is. I will say on the midterms there isn’t much space to mess up since they are only 50 points, although he does offer a lot of extra credit, (not as much as the 14 series) there is still so many easy ways to lose small points. Clarity – 5 – he is excellent at explaining the concepts and tries to relate it to a concept we might be more familiar with Workload -4 – the workload in terms of what you actually have to do is pretty low, a BACON usually once every 2 weeks, a problem set which you have 2 weeks to do. But like I said you have to practice every single day to make sure you understand because the content will always build up on itself. Helpfulness -4 – he is very helpful and very smart, but I feel like he has low patience to questions he feels are stupid. To be fair some of the questions asked are things he literally just talked about, and I’ve heard he has less patience with the premeds and the 14 series (Tbf premeds can be kind of annoying about grades, coming from a premed) but overall he tries his hardest to help you understand the content, he really wants you to actually understand organic chemistry and make an effort to learn your name, which I greatly appreciated. Overall – 5 – I loved this class, organic chemistry was very fun, Pham was an excellent professor both at explaining the content and being very understanding towards the students.
