My favorite chemistry professor ever! Genuinely cares about his students and the field of chemistry (ask him about Green Chemistry!). His tests were unarguably difficult but so satisfying when I could do it because he taught us so well. Don't stress about your grade. He's a fantastic, engaging person, so show up to every lecture.

Bruce is my favorite professor in this department. I like his sense of humor and his passion towards his work and teaching. He sincerely wants his students to excel in organic chemistry. If you have the chance, just get into his class and you won't regret!

My favorite professor of all time. Someone said it felt like a privilege to be taught by him and I 100% agree. When I took this class I didn't care about my grade I just wanted to earn his respect by showing I learned the material. It felt more like a coaching experience than a professor, in the best way possible. Go to the special lectures!!

great professor who is extremely knowledgeable!! felt like a privilege to learn ochem from this guy honestly. likes to talk to students and if he knows you/sees you going to reviews and trying to learn the material you will end up doing better in his class. very few exams so they can be stressful but you'll probably end up fine honestly.

Dr. Lipshutz is probably the smartest professor I have ever had. His lectures can be confusing but he is great at explaining if you ask questions. He is more than happy to hold review sessions before the midterm/final which is really nice. Once you understand his teaching style his class really isn't that bad. Really just focus on the flashcards.

Bros the goat. Sometimes his lectures are difficult to understand but if you talk to him or set up a meeting with TAs you can get everything explained to you. Definitely the best professor I've had at UCSB.

After doing badly on the first midterm, I thought about dropping the class and asked Dr. Lipshutz for advice if I should. He told me to just focus on getting caught up and listed several things I should do to improve and get caught up. He really cares about his students and will go out of his way to make sure you learn. Office hours helps a ton!

Definitely one of my favorite professors ever. He cares a lot, and he inspired me to work to do well in his class. The material is difficult, but I thought he made it digestible through his inspiring classes. He hosted extra study sessions, which was awesome, and he is always available for extra help. Take advantage of having him and learn a lot.

Great professor who knows his stuff and cares about his students. Really tough though..

He's a great lecturer, but doesn't follow the book so don't skip class. Take good notes, make flashcards, and do his practice exams! He also posts his lecture outline notes online (with beautiful handwriting) so take a look at those too. He hosts multiple review sessions and really wants you to understand the material!

BEST professor I've had. He's genuine, caring, & brilliant in his field. He wants you to succeed. He isn't easy, but gives you EVERY resource to do so. For Honors he has extra review sessions and classes, extended office hours, old practice tests, help by email etc. He's a great lecturer, I never used the book. Flashcards are life + vitamin probs.

Although he is a bit intense at times, Prof. Lipshutz is a very attentive instructor: he was willing to go out of his way to schedule review sessions for our class and even planned supplementary sessions for people who did badly on the midterms. His lectures are fast and somewhat confusing, and he doesn't follow the textbook, so go to class!
