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

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.

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.

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!

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.
