CHEM113C . Buratto S K 14 Years Ago

Had him for 113a and c. Lectures are far more helpful than the vagueness of the book. Very direct and brings concepts together in a way students can understand. He is a math nerd so he likes to derive formulas but he is always willing to help even outside of office hours. Do the homework, tests are very similar.

Chem112B . Buratto S K 10 Months Ago

One of the best in the Chem Dept, if not the best. Highly recommend! Also recommend to attend his office hours and ask questions. He is extremely smart and presents the challenging material from this course (Biophysical Chem) in a manner that one can understand if they dedicate the time and effort to.

113A . Buratto S K 1 Year, 2 Months Ago

Prof. Buratto is a great lecturer and very consistent with his expectations when it comes to the format of the course. Homework is lengthy and difficult which prepares you well for the exams which are similar but much easier. He walks like a chad and yells at the class but is super nice and clearly cares about his students.

113A . Buratto S K 3 Years Ago

I took his class maybe 9 years ago. I don't remember much but a lot of PDEs. And I remember that he was extremely passionate and on a good day he was AMPED to be up there lecturing for us. Good guy.

CHEM150 . Buratto S K 3 Years Ago

Easy class that he makes hard but the curve is fat like really fat so it evens out

CHEM150 . Buratto S K 4 Years Ago

He is an amazing lecturer, but his tests are super difficult. However, he is a very kind and compassionate professor who is understanding of extenuating circumstances. He actually cares about his students.
