Comment:
he teaches as if he were teaching other professors with a PHD, he does not change any of the information into simpler terms to be comprehended. His tests are ridiculously hard and the help sheets require you to have a full understanding of every little detail in the course. I would not recommend taking him for anything

Comment:
Had him for Honors rather then chemistry. Not an easy preceptor but gets you to think about the topics. Don't expect to sit and class and not be called on. Mandatory lecture attendance. Two weekly papers, two large papers.

Comment:
I don't dread chemistry like my friends in other classes. He puts a fun spin on chem, what he says will be tested is, and he gives you every chance to succeed in his class. He doesn't test material he hasn't covered and is a great, friendly guy.

Moderately good teacher. Exams difficult, as with all CHY 121 teachers. Probably one of the best teachers though, Highly recommended over Rassiah and Bruce.

p-chem should not be a teach-yourself course. did no actual teaching in the course. tests were nothing like the homework. Not so much a fun course. Class meeting were a joke.

great professor, very smart, and always willing to lend a hand if you need one. if you don't understand what's going on in class, i highly suggest seeing him before the exam, not after.

Amar was the man. If you have to take a chem course, take it with him. I dont know where all these bad reviews came from. You know exactilly what to expect on tests, he holds extra review sessions before every test...great man and teacher

Comment:
He's just not that great at teaching. He loses a lot of credibility, when he keeps messing up examples in lecture. He explains things in confusing ways. He seems like a condescending jerk outside of class. Definitely not one of my better professors.

Funny teacher, keeps thing interesting. This was my second time having CHY 121 but the first time I have had it with him. He's by far better and easier than my old chem teacher. He gives you all of the formulas for the tests and curves
