Currently taking him for the summer. He's a pretty good professor and he relates to students well since he was recently a UCLA undergrad himself. The course had two midterms which are 25% each and the final is worth 50%. He gives 5% worth of extra credit. In my course he is trying a straight scale as an experiment, but he says he usually does a curve. He also assigns optional homework, but I personally don't do it because I think his lectures suffice to do well on the exam. He also does bruincast which is a great resource. Overall, I think the class is fair in terms of difficulty and grading

Took 14A with Ow in the summer and so far he's the best south campus professor I've taken a class with. He is a pretty good lecturer and a real nice guy. He used an overhead projector during class and pretty much everything he said was written down, which was nice in case you missed something. A pdf file of the notes he wrote during class were always available online (huge help). I thought all of his exams were fair, but the second midterm was significantly easier than the first. He only tested on material that was explained during lecture. His rule was that any material not mentioned during lecture is not to be worried about. Arguably the best professor to take your first chem class with at UCLA.
