Doctor Hastings is a great and very intelligent person. However, for a student like me who's not a Chemistry major, I find it very difficult to understand his teaching methods. Even going to his office hours just confused me further. It feels like I'm lost during his lectures. He rushes through the material in class, which becomes frustrating during quizzes and exams.
Good
Dr. Hastings was very kind, and always accessible to assist me in understanding how I could improve, and where I messed up. His teaching technique however wasn't for me, which caused me to have a truly difficult time switching from chem 101 to 102. My grades had suffered due to the change but thankfully due to COVID I was able to improve them through the open book tests offered.
