The class is tough for some and easier for others. I didn't enjoy Gen Chem 1 or 2 very much but I did a lot better in Orgo. The class structure was easy to keep up with but your grade is ENTIRELY dependent on your exam grades. For my class exams were worth 90% and the rest were spread between assignments. The workload was light, there was one homework assignment due on Friday that didn't take that long. Office Hours are definitely helpful as well!

It is more interesting than Gen Chem in my opinion and I liked Lopez as a teacher.

Lopez was a good lecturer and has good office hours.

Study as you go and don't cram. Cramming may work for the first or second exam, but anything past that is a lot more intensive.

Although I've done alright on the first two exams, this class really makes me want to pay a visit to the DNA bridge that does not involve me coming back from the DNA bridge. StudyEdge is good. His practice problems are okay. The exams are basically the practice exams. His lectures are really rambling and confusing, but I can say that his office hours clarify a lot of the stuff that he delivers weirdly in class.

Lopez makes lowkey sexist comments sometimes. He's passionate but not the best lecturer. He's not that supportive of students unless you try to kiss up and cultivate a personal relationship with him.

Lopez is a horrible professor, lectures make no sense. StudyEdge is very helpful here once you get passed exam 1 if you have Lopez.

Useful for future chem labs

Lectures are really bad.

Get studyedge

This course left me on the brink of crying, but not in a standard chemistry class way, in a standard chemistry class except 2x more helpless because your professor makes you feel dumb way.

StudyEdge or skip to Chem2046.

Oh God. Lopez's class was definitely something. His teaching style was completely useless and I could not understand half of what he was saying. He'd purposefully release grades of exams on days after his office hours so that no one would complain to him LOL ngl pretty smart. The worst thing is that every single exam had a mistake. Wrong answer choices or wrong units or wrong words just wrong. And even though he was reluctant to give points back some times, he generally did. The issue is that because in the moment I'm not aware that there is a mistake, I think that I'm the one making the mistake. So I would spend so much time on problems that ended up having a mistake. Therefore, even though he would throw the questions out, I still suffered because I wouldn't have time to actually finish ...read more
