CHEM130 . A Month Ago

Would take again, but must attend lectures regularly and it helped to have the flashcards he suggested in the beginning of the course.

CHEM109BCH . 1 Year, 8 Months Ago

My favorite chemistry professor ever! Genuinely cares about his students and the field of chemistry (ask him about Green Chemistry!). His tests were unarguably difficult but so satisfying when I could do it because he taught us so well. Don't stress about your grade. He's a fantastic, engaging person, so show up to every lecture.

Bruce is my favorite professor in this department. I like his sense of humor and his passion towards his work and teaching. He sincerely wants his students to excel in organic chemistry. If you have the chance, just get into his class and you won't regret!

CHEM109BANDC . 2 Years Ago

My favorite professor of all time. Someone said it felt like a privilege to be taught by him and I 100% agree. When I took this class I didn't care about my grade I just wanted to earn his respect by showing I learned the material. It felt more like a coaching experience than a professor, in the best way possible. Go to the special lectures!!

CHEM109BANDC . 2 Years Ago

great professor who is extremely knowledgeable!! felt like a privilege to learn ochem from this guy honestly. likes to talk to students and if he knows you/sees you going to reviews and trying to learn the material you will end up doing better in his class. very few exams so they can be stressful but you'll probably end up fine honestly.

Dr. Lipshutz is probably the smartest professor I have ever had. His lectures can be confusing but he is great at explaining if you ask questions. He is more than happy to hold review sessions before the midterm/final which is really nice. Once you understand his teaching style his class really isn't that bad. Really just focus on the flashcards.
