THE BEST CHEM LAB PROFESSOR. He is very nice, answers questions, and is somewhat less of a harsh grader than the others in my opinion. He encourages collaboration which is super nice with lab

All you do with professor shoja is cry and stress. He has no chill in his grading and can not teach at all. Actually, I did learn something, which is that I pull out my hair whenever he disregards my questions and gives me an unfair grade for my three hour work. I used to have luxurious hair and now I'm bald.

Comment:
He must hate his job. This guy absolutely is there to make his student's life 20 times worst. He is also extremely unprofessional and unwilling to teach. He literally comes up with so much sass and extra attitude if you ask him a simple question that is not to his level. Like dude I'm in your class to learn and if I ask you a question don't be rude

Professor Shoja is a lovely man, I took Chem 1 Lab with him as an online course, and he is very straightforward and clear about what to do in the labs. However, professor Shoja is difficult to find after class and is also a tough grader. His emails are also very vague and not detailed, not very helpful for exams or labs. Overall, nice man.

Shoja is not advisable to take if you want an easy A. He is exceptionally rude towards his students, takes off a lot of points if you get one insignificant thing wrong when you did all the work, very intimidating to ask questions to, and is just uncomfortable to be around with in general.

Comment:
Shoja is very rude towards all his students. When you ask him a question, he will not help you at all and say, DONT YOU HAVE A BRAIN?! He is also a brutally harsh grader when it comes to lab. One time he took off 15 points for not putting two units on the graph. If you want an easy A, Shoja is not recommended to take at all.

Really hard grader on labs, and exceptionally rude to his students. Never felt comfortable asking him questions, and he makes an easy class unnecessarily difficult.

Comment:
I had Dr. Shoja for chem lab 1 and 2. He seems very intimidating but is actually a very kind person. He can be a tough grader and will call you out if you do something incorrect during lab, but if you get on his good side he will return your kindness and be very helpful. At times he is very funny and will always let you out of lab very early.

Shoja is the best option for chem lab. His lectures are clear and straight to the point. He tells you exactly what you need to know for the lab and nothing more. We always got out early from lab. Unlike other lab professors, he gives lots of 10s on post labs which is so nice! STUDY for the quizzes they make or break your grade!!!

You can tell that the guy is very smart, don't get me wrong, it's just I wasn't comfortable with his teaching style. He can come off as a bit intimidating but do the work and you'll be fine. Also, his jokes can be pretty funny too sometimes

Prof. Shoja is an amazing chem professor. He is very clear during lecture, despite his slight accent. Tests are kind of hard but he is clear about what will be on them. You do have to study a lot but he makes that clear. He is also a pretty funny guy. Overall the best choice for Fordham Gen Chem.

This guy is quite possibly the greatest chemistry professor on planet earth. He is so funny and engaging. He doesn't' bother saying random things that you don't need for the test. He talks very slow and only says what you need. He is very high yield and easy to follow. I 3 Shoja.

If you read the chapters in the textbook, then you'll get an A. He seems like just a sweet old man but beware he can be a tough cookie. Although he can be surprisingly sarcastic and hilarious.

He and the entire chem department purposely gave no partial credit, destroying test averages and forcing a lot of us noontime majors (engineers have to take it) to drop and take it again later. He's not nice to individual students.

Comment:
He may seem scary, but he is very approachable if you need help! He explains his work very clearly, so if you do all the practice problems his way, you should get a good grasp on each chapter. The tests aren't always written by him, but are difficult. He rewards points for certain steps he sees in a problem, so you can't always get partial credit.

Although he appears unapproachable, he is very kind. I had him for chem lab but he's pretty tough but will help you and soon will realize what a kind person he is. And if he likes you, that's good!!! He is very tough on tests/quizzes, so you have to work for a good grade.

Dr. Shoja is great professor. He loves chemistry, and explains the material in a very straightforward way; he does not beat around the bush. If you want to do well in his class, you need to study and do the practice exams. Doing the book homework helps too. His recitations are also quick and to the point. Very nice, funny, and overall great prof.

Really good at teaching the subject! General Chem is hard no matter who you take. He teaches with examples, and if you have him for recitation and lecture too, he clarifies a lot. He asks the class if we have any questions, but no one answers because he will make you look stupid. Just study a lot and you'll be fine. You need at least 6 days before.

He gives you the information that is needed. If you have questions he will be there to answer them for you, which may include going to his office hours to get full clarity. He has some pretty funny stories to keep the lecture light and entertaining.

Dr. Shoja is extremely knowledgable in chemistry. He enjoys his job and his jokesrandom tidbits of information make the class a bit more enjoyable. If you're not willing to show up to every class and to put in the studying, don't take this. He wants you to completely understand the information, and if you don't, it will reflect in your test grades
