113A . Buratto S K 1 Year, 10 Months 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.

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

CHEM150 . Buratto S K 2 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.

CHEM150 . Buratto S K 2 Years Ago

He is a good professor as in he knows what he is teaching and can provide amazing real life examples of what he is teaching but the examples he covers in class are so much easier than the homework problems or the exams. Two midterms, one final and the questions on these exams were the same difficulty as the homework problems or even harder.

CHEM150 . Buratto S K 3 Years Ago

Buratto is a very knowledgeable professor who gives clear lectures. His homework does not offer partial credit, so it's important to make sure that your calculation is accurate. HThe exams are not so hard - if you go over the homework problems you will be fine. His OH is helpful and he replies email really quickly.

CHEM113A . Buratto S K 4 Years Ago

Buratto was an amazing lecturer and an extremely fair test maker. He would tell you everything you needed to know for an exam and his lectures explained everything step by step. There's a pretty significant curve at the end of class. My test results would have gotten me around a C- in a different class, but the curve brought me up to a B.
