This class was interesting, we all thought we were going to fail but it honestly wasn't that bad? Homework was killer and insanely time consuming and tests were also quite difficult but they were open note which helped quite a bit. Bensimon himself is an incredibly smart and helpful person and I would highly recommend attending office hours as you really get the most out of the course and learn how to solve the test problems! Much better than most other pchem professors

Excellent professor, highly recommend. He is extremely helpful during office hours, always gives thorough explanations. Tests are open notes! He focuses on derivations during class but tests are all about applying equations derived in class.

Had him for Chem 110B. Highly recommend. Homework is worth 25% so a good buffer for your grade. Tests are open book. Study Study Study!!! Come prepared and you'll do well. Great teacher, explains stuff very well. Will do deviations not found in the books but tests on the applications of what he derives, so basically no memorization necessary :D
