Comment:
We are only two months in but I absolutely love this professor! The material is not always easy but he will explain it as many times as you need and actually encourages you to ask a lot of questions. He sincerely wants everyone to do well. He is pretty strict in lab but that only better prepares you for jobs after college. Definitely take him!

Comment:
This class was more difficult than I expected was wasn't too hard. Go to his office hours after the test and he will help you get back some points. The class is kind of disorganized and most of the points come from the tests. Go to office hours if you can they really help!

chem 100 with zhand this year 2012 was not good he was by far the hardest grader and some of the exams were nothing like the lectures. He's a really nice guy but not the best teacher + he doesn't curve whereas every other chem 100 professor does. SAVE YOUR TIME don't take zhand

Comment:
It's a little difficult to understand his accent but once you get past that, the class isn't so bad. He explains everything in detail but sometimes he moves through the notes too fast. Overall, his tests were pretty easy just make sure you attend the lecture before where he goes over sample problems that are on the tests

Comment:
Lectures are a bit hard to follow, he doesn't give you time to copy the notes and does not post the notes online. He is a bit hard to understand, always going off on random tangents that don't make sense. Tests are pretty easy if you are able to understand the notes by yourself.

He is a really nice person and is always willing to help his students but he is very confusing. If you read the textbook and make and go to his office hours you will probably do well in the course but his sections require a lot of extra effort.

So boring. Plus he makes tons of mistakes, even on the tests and the answer keys. If you get something marked wrong check because there is a good chance it was right.

He presents O-Chem in basic terms;tries his best to simplify the material so you don't feel overwhelmed. Pay attention in lecture, spend time on the practice exams, and don't hesitate to go to office hours for help and clarification. You won't regret it!
