<p>Anyone heard anything about him? I can't find any info on him on bruinwalk</p>

<p>ooooo **** dude. not karim!</p>

<p>r u seroius??</p>

<p>dead serious.</p>

<p>ah i just checked ur posts..ur just a lame freshman pshhhh
u posted the same thing about scerri and he was the easiest science professor i had in my life</p>

<p>im a freshman who knows the horrors of karim!</p>

<p>really now? How did a freshman already manage to take the 4th part of the chemistry series?</p>

<p>Apparently, sarcasm doesn't flow through the internet well.</p>

<p>Wow. This is my first post in awhile...</p>

<p>Oh, and Karim subbed for Chem 30B for a day Fall quarter and well...I'd have to agree that he's definitely not the best lecturer and left the entire class extremely confused by the end of the hour.</p>

<p>However, I'm not sure on his exams, so you'd have to ask someone who took Chem30A Fall08 or Chem30B Winter09.</p>

<p>I had Karim for 30A, i would recommend him.</p>

<p>although he's very.... boring i guess, he's a really good guy and wants everyone to do well. he didn't assign any homework for our class, so it was all up to how much you wanted to learn the material, but he was very straightforward and fair.</p>

<p>i never went to office hours, but whenever i'd see him around he'd always say hello to me and he was always trying to be as helpful as possible. i don't know what time this class is offered, but i had 30A at 10am and slept pretty much every day (as did the other half of the class that actually showed up to lecture). however, i did a lot of studying for the midterms and final and did fine in the class. the tests were very straightforward in my opinion (even though the mean on midterm 2 was a 50%, he curved it to a 75% i believe).</p>

<p>he also posts all his lecture slides online (the entire powerpoint), and even uploaded powerpoints from 30B since it was at 8am.</p>

<p>hope that helps</p>

<p>thank you cant' c me thats exactly what i was looking for!</p>

<p>glad to help!</p>

<p>(btw i meant he uploaded podcasts, in addition to the powerpoints, for the 8am class)</p>
