One of the best aspects of this course was the fair and relevant inquiries on the exams regarding material covered in class. Also, the challenges presented in class were delivered in an enthusiastic, easy-to-understand manner. Students also appreciated that the instructor was eager to help during office hours and outside of class. Some students felt that the lectures were difficult to fol ow, that the instructor moved through the concepts too fast, and that the expectation to memorize mechanisms was excessive. Suggestions included going slower when presenting mechanisms/new concepts and focusing on concepts particularly pertinent to the exams and quizzes. Prospective students should take advantage of the help available outside of class, be prepared to do practice problems in order to better understand the material, and attend each class.

71 This course is highlighted by the instructor, Dr. Principe, who was cited far and away as the best aspect of this course. He is a passionate teacher who made a difficult subject approachable, and kept lectures interesting and engaging. The material is very challenging, and many students cited this as the worst, but unavoidable, aspect of the course. More opportunities for graded work, or more practice exams would improve the course. Prospective students should know that there is a lot of work required, and they will need to stay on top of the material. Taking the course with Dr. Principe is highly recommended.

Organic Chemistry II was an interesting and fun intel ectual chal enge, and most students gave Dr. Falzone two thumbs way up for his engaging lectures and flexible office hours. Many students thought the biochemistry section and the amount of daily studying were the worst aspects of this class. More time for the material, fewer weekly quizzes, and more practice exams were suggested improvements to the course. Prospective students should know that this course requires a lot of work and is very challenging, and will require dedication on your part to succeed.

The instructor was an enthusiastic, funny, realistic and engaging chemistry professor that managed to make Organic Chemistry II worth taking. This class had fair exams. Many students found the course to be difficult and would have liked more example problems to practice and study concepts. This course could be improved by offering more worksheet questions instead of book assignments, and offering students more opportunities to see their progress throughout the semester. Prospective students should know that lecture attendance was important to performing wel and taking this course taught by this instructor is worth the early morning trek to class.

The best part of this course was the clear, entertaining lecture style of the professor who was flexible and wil ing to work with students. Many students found it frustrating that quizzes were not based on material they had studied or discussed in class. The course was an adjustment for students who had not taken this professor last semester for Organic Chemistry I. This course could be improved by posting practice problems and solutions on blackboard earlier in the semester, as well as having better clicker questions. Prospective students should know that this class is chal enging and students are encouraged to not fal behind.
