CollegeHe is a nice guy, but I think that his teaching method did not invoke much interest as needed for a chem class.
What a great teacher! Clear, loud voice. Clear, concise lectures. You need to work for your grade, but his lectures are easy to understand. Midterms and finals are fairly challenging as with any other chem class. also has a curve.
i dont like chem, nor do i understand easily, but this class wasn't bad at all. buratto really explains things well, and the class wasnt that hard
i hate chemistry, but it wasn't so bad with buratto
The midterms weren't too bad. The final was pretty hard. He's a good teacher over all. Sometimes in lecture, he says things you don't need to know like deriving formulas
Mr. Burratto is a really cool professor. He writes really big and does problems step by step, so he is pretty clear. The tests aren't bad, you can just read the book and get good grades.
