Very clear and easy to understand, but sometimes the proofs can confuse people, especially if they haven't taken integral calculus. Puts a lot of the work in your hands in terms of homework, but does offer quizzes to a couple times to give you an idea of how well you know the material.
Great professor!
Test questions were very in depth, questions were for partial credit. This class was challenging but do-able with work.
I kinda take issue with this class because he has been too lazy to post practice midterms for this course. Also, there is hardly any homework, so doing practice problems from the book is REALLY important. He does a lot of proofs, but he makes the concepts clear too.
Very good professor, loud and clear, pauses, great notes! Open answer midterms with no "cheat sheet" for equations can be brutal sometimes, but when looking back they are pretty fair, make sure you memorize your equations and do hwk. The notes are so good he even tells you the textbook isn't really necessary.
He was such a relief after a horrible 1A professor, and he actually explained things. and he looks like tom hanks!
He was a very fair professor; however, I feel that his availability during the 6 wk summer session was very poor. Also, he graded the homeworks to his own standard for sig figs, which was a bit insane. Otherwise, a straight forward professor.
Buratto's lectures are very clear, most of the questions on the homework can be solved by using the notes. The exams are not too hard, as long as you do all the homework, you can Ace the test. He is very lenient on cheatsheet, a page for midterm, 2page for final. Take him if you can
he is so full of himself that he doesnt realize sometimes that he makes mistakes and gives us wrong info. the book he likes is by far the worst piece of crap out there along with the unaccurate information in it. thank god for the ta's. his tests were very tricky, but not too hard.
He 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
he talks really loud and writes really big! nice guy.
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.
i love this guy. hes a great chem professor, and his tests arent that bad if you pay attention in class.. or you can even get by with just reading the book.
Really nice guy and writes super big. He talks really loudly, which is good because it's impossible to fall asleep in class. Explains concepts thoroughly and slowly. Tests are kinda hard but manangeable if you take his practice tests.
burrato is an awesome prof! for chemistry, he's the best prof! His exams are exactly what we learned in class, no surprises. Just write down everything he writes on the board and you'll be fine.
He's cool, he goes through lessons quick, so it's best not to fall asleep even for 2 minutes. I hate the grading scale though. 25%, 25%, 50%.... study
Dr. Buratto approached this class differently from the other professors. He would try to give the students a clear understanding of where all the formulas came from, his test were also straight forward and easy.
"YOU GOT A BUFFER! If I wake you up in your sleep, you had better be able to tell me that." Writes extremely large.
great teacher.
I had this guy for Chem 1B after Prof. **** couldn't teach, Burratto is ussualy a P. Chem teacher but taught us Gen Chem and did a GREAT! job, I never went to class, after the first day I came back only for the midterm. Its really easy! I got an A!
