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

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.

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.

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.

Probably one of the best professor in the chem department. He is very clear during lectures, and gives you the best preparation to study and do well on the exams. You really learn chemistry in his classes. Really good professor.

Buritto is great. I had him for AnaLITical last fall and honestly I've missed being in his class. Sure it's a hard class with tough grading, but you learn your stuff and his exams are exactly like the homework, so you are more than prepared. I'm actually excited to take a class with him next quarter even if this isn't my exact field of chemistry

His lectures are clear and straight forward. He works out many problems in class and assigns similar problems for the homework. People say he's tough but as long as you go to lecture and work out problems you will be fine. His test questions are very similar to the homework with the exception of one or two tougher problems to separate the class.

Top 3 profs I've had at UCSB. He asks a lot out of you and makes you work the whole quarter and you might dislike him a little sometimes, but at the end of the quarter, you realize just how much you've learned. Him and the TAs try their best to help you. Just put in the work he asks of you and you'll be fine. Clear lectures and great ppts.

As a chem major, I love this class and the material that it's based off of, but I couldn't enjoy any of it!! The Homework Buratto gives out is near impossible to ace and his tests are impossible to finish!! And sometimes the problems are literally not even solvable due to errors in the questions. Only recommend to someone you absolutely HATE!

One of the best professor I've ever had. I only got a B+ because I was behind and didn't do well on the first midterm. I caught up after and life was good. He's strict, but he let students know exactly what he wants. I will sum it up this way: He tests what he teaches and doesn't try to trick you. If you understand his lectures, you will pass.

He's strict! But if you don't learn to do things correctly now, you'll mess up later and probably lose your job. Super excited to help you and very inspiring because of this. Communicates incredibly well.

Prof Buratto makes even unit algebra difficult. Take Buratto if you want to learn the material and don't give a ~~~~ about the grade because all of his grades in all of his classes are gaussian distributions no exceptions. somewhat intimidating until you are familiar talking with him but EXTREMELY hepful and will go out of way for office hours.

Amazing teacher. Gives great examples that help with homework. Very clear. Homework wasn't easy but he gave answer keys and the tests closely followed the homework. Hardest part is in the details (sig figs). Really great, straight-forward class. He was also really helpful in office hours. Go to office hours! Take this class!

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 talks really loud and writes really big! nice guy.

"YOU GOT A BUFFER! If I wake you up in your sleep, you had better be able to tell me that." Writes extremely large.

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.

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.

PChem is hard, but Buratto goes out of his way to make sure that you understand the material. His lectures are absolutely fabulous so no need to crack open that awful textbook. As long as you should your effort, he will be there to help you.

Perhaps one of my favorite professors in UCSB. you don't need a textbook at all because his lecture notes are step-by-step and very clear. certainly not an easy class but if you study and understand the homework, the exams will be easy. Definitely hope i have him again!

pchem is not an easy course, however with Buratto he makes it extremely clear. One of the best professors. He goes through the derivations with you step by step. His slides are straight forward. The homework is difficult, and does take time, but it is doable. The exams are FAIR, if you do the hw and study you'll be fine. Good quality prof.
