Martin-Louis Riu
Most Helpful Review
Fall 2025 - I unexpectedly loved this class. I think most of that had to do with the Textbook that Riu recommended that we use instead of the one the course is built on. "Chemistry as a Second Language" (2 books that you can find for free online) is written like an elementary school picture book. It explains everything so well with practice problems that I am convinced, if you find the correct chapters to read that correlate to what we are learning in class and do the book's practice problems, It will be impossible to get less than an A on either 14C or D. Just for this textbook recommendation, I am giving Riu a 100/100 as a teacher. He is also a timely lecturer and explains things well.
