Buratto was our teacher for 113A and was super easy, so was the material. 113B was so hard. His tests were really hard, and he got so upset that our class averages were so low that he dropped the curve to a C. He is a super nice guy and always willing to help, but quantum mechanics is a tough class.

Steve is a really enthusiastic and nice guy. He is a clear lecturer, but there are too many complex derivations that you never end up using. Homework is reasonable difficulty, midterm was very easy, final was a bit harder but still fair. For lack of a better way to phrase it, I felt overwhelmingly neutral about this class.

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.

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.

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.
