I recommend taking this class if you enjoy analyzing spectroscopy and learning more about NMR spectroscopy, it's a good insightful class.

Spectroscopy was one of my weakest skills from organic and I came in without a background in physical chem or instrumentation, but he made it understandable. I think he did a amazing job explaining difficult material. He make jokes in class too. The discussion problem set presentations were intimidating, but gave us practice for presenting in the real world. The weekly homework was challenging, but he encouraged us to work with peers. The class also had guest lecturers for the NMR portion. In addition, he learned everyone's names and enjoyed answering questions. Overall, he's an engaging and passionate professor!

He was the worst professor ever had in my chemistry years. From this class, I expected to learn concepts of basic techniques such as NMR, IR, EPR, rotational spec etc. Lots of people recommended this class. Not sure about other professors but do not take with him. For entire semester, we only covered NMR and IR that I ended up teaching myself everything from other people or online. He is not good with organizing, so things come from everywhere in his head. In syllabus, he provided guidelines for class such as homework and attendance. NEVER followed. He was out of country for 1/3 of semester which made me wonder why he decided to teach this semester. Reading one paragraph online before the exams was so much helpful than him talking all throughout the semester. Very disappointed!
