I only had him for lab, but he was easy.

Makes sure everyone understands--reviews thoroughly for exams. drops lowest grade looks like Mr Bean

He might seem like a tough teacher, but it's a ploy. His tests are incredibely easy. I highly recomend him. you won't be sorry.

Awesome teacher with lots of personality and twisted humor. If you pay attention to his notes and do the needed homework; the tests and quizzes will be based on exactly what you studied for.

HE'S A GREAT TEACHER WITH HIS OWN BIZZARE SENSE OF HUMOR...HIS NOTES & HIS LECTURES ARE GOOD. HE TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT'S ON THE TEST & PROBLEMS THAT YOU SHOULD DO TO PREPARE. SOMETIMES HE EVEN HAND OUT HIS OWN NOTES TO FACILITATE THE CLASS AS WELL AS REVIEW QUESTIONS. IF YOU WORK HARD IN HIS CLASS; YOU'LL DO VERY WELL INDEED.

Great organic teacher!

Excellent -Excellent - Excellent- This can be difficult subject -but he explains it well & makes sure the class understands him. Tests are based on his handouts and if you do the homework and read his handouts - you will ace his tests. wonderful man- don't take anyone else.

very easy prof. and he will spend as much time on something until everyone in the class gets it! his exams are really easy as long as you study his handouts! great prof! i definetely recommend him!

he has his own sense of humor. LOL~ he is a nice guy. tests are easy if u study the handouts.

I like his way of teaching. He is very nice guy and his lecture was understandable. Take his lecture!

He was great teacher, and his class was fun! Take his class!

I just want to say that this is the best professor I've ever had. He's great, funny and very fare with the students, if you pay attention in class, you don't even have to study.I got an A, believe me....

I HAD HIM FOR GEN. CHEM I/II & ORGANIC I/II.HE'S AWESOME.BEST PROFESSOR EVER;ESP. IN ORGANIC WHICH CAN EASILY OVERWHEALM...NOT HIS CLASS!NOTES ON POWERPOINT FROM BOOK & DOES REVIEWS. STUDY CHAP 1 & 2 WELL AS THIS IS YOUR BASE FOR THE REST OF ORGANIC.IF YOU STUDY HARD AND PRACTICE PROBLEMS A LOT,YOU'LL DO VERY WELL.IT'S NOT HARD AT ALL.ASK QUESTIONS

amazing! Take him! I'd reccomend him to anyone

All I can say is I wishhhhh I had this guy for my gen. chem. courses. He's honestly the most caring straight forward professor I've had thus far. Orgo is an incredibly overwhelming subject, so be aware this is noooo walk in the park course! The book is amazing though read it and do the problems until your eyes fall out. Good luck and try not to cry

He is one of the most awesome professors I ever had. He is very fair, very smart, very prepared, and makes the subject very interesting. He is vert friendly, but do not mistake his friendliness with him being a pushover. He expects you to work hard. You will get the grade you desrve.

Excellent professor. Take him. Gives notes and lots of help on website. Previews before every test. Easy to approach.

awesome teacher, provides notes, which is awesome so you can pay attention and not be writing in class...funny guy too, take him!

Genuinely cares for his students. If you thought any of his quizs or exams were difficult, then you shouldn't be studying the sciences (i.e you're stupid). It is a hard course, but he's an amazing professor. Honestly if you think he's difficult then you're going to get destroyed at any 4 year university. Take Orgo at BCC while you still can.

Great professor! Took a hybrid class but he still spent time lecturing to be sure we understood the material. Gives out his own notes and gives reviews for the exams. Very fun, very nice, very helpful!

Good teacher. His delivery is a little rough around the edges (especially on first day). He is very approachable and helpful outside of classroom. He will not put up with non-sense. You must do the work and you will get an ?A?. Exams were very to fair to slightly easy. I would recommend him.

I disagree with the prior comments. I think Dr. Ramdayal is an excellent teacher. He clerly explains all his topics and emphasizes what is important. If you struggled in his class it is because you never attended or looked at his notes. I thought he was very clear about what would be on his tests.

Easy going professor. He teaches hybrid courses which makes it hard for students to catch up on work. Only 4 tests the whole semester and around 6 quizzes which is not a bad deal especially because he gives a review for each test. Very helpful during his lectures and no surprises on the tests. I recommend if you want to earn a good grade. Not an ea

Good professor. His examples are clear, concise and quaintly humorous. He has stand offish body language but is willing to help. Review sheets = tests so study them well. Hybrid class so there was a fair amount of online quizzes which was a bit annoying and the concepts they tested were not exactly in the notes. I would take him again.

He is an excellent professor in organic chemistry. I took organic I (CHM 260) and organic II (CHM 262) and got "A"s. He expects you to work. I know the students who wrote bad reports about hin in orgaanic chemistry - they dropped his class because they expected a free pass, but he expects you to work hard. Take him. He is an excellent professor.

Looks very serious but is a friendly guy. He seems silly to repeat himself & as tho he were asking a question, but repetition helps! His honors class meets once/wk. He zooms chapters. His selfmade notes are helpful & can clarify uncertainty by using the textbook. For honors lecture: 4 exams (incl final-not cumul), 6 assignments (word probs, etc).

He is an excellent professor. He is fair, but he tries to make sure you learn the material. He does nor give a free pass. Students who complain are those who do not want to work and expect a good grade for doing nothing. I hated chemistry before entering his class, but at the end of his class, my interest in chemistry was much greater.

excellent teacher.. reccomended for serious students...

I took his class over the winter break. I didn't need a textbook because he gave all the notes that I need to study for. Very clear, to the point. Finishing the course in 16 days was hard but manageable. Very good teacher overall. Do not take this course if you are looking for an easy A. Good Luck!!

I took CHM100 hybrid & got an A. For hybrid you are supposed to do the lecture @ home. He still lectured us in lab even though he isn't required to do it. He does talk down to the class as a whole bc people score poorly, but it's true that he is approachable. Curves tests. It's not hard material, it's college. Understand concepts, not memorization

He makes chemistry so easy! Had him in fall'12. It was a hybrid course so we only met once a week. Lots of reading but manageable. He gives many practice problems so you can be ready for the exam. Nice and funny professor. Enjoyed his class.

He make chemistry very understandable and will repeat himself a lot to make sure we understand the material. curves every test, drops lowest quiz grades. just be advised he expects you to work hard. he's funny too how he will go off topic and will start preaching. lol other than that I highly recommend him !

I recommend him for nursing students and others who would like to master basic chemistry. If you are prepared to be challenged and work hard you will receive an A. If you are not prepared to put a lot of effort in than this will be difficult. I took a hybrid, which is self taught. I have a BFA, so an art background, and I still aced this class.

Definitely recommend. He is a bit strange in a way he expresses his thoughts, but as a teacher he is very very good. Easily explains you any complicated concept in simple way. But he got no respect to people who doesn't read the book and doesn't work on material, which is understandable.

Great professor. Very clear. Very fair. Explains things very well. Scared me to death the first day of class, but actually very nice guy. All assignments geared towards the tests. Very well structured class. Highly recommend.

Amazing professor had no interest or understanding of chem b4 taking his call. Very clear and concise, gives partial credit and is hilarious which is great at 930am

I took his hybrid chem 100 class.. he does a good job of explaining a difficult subject. His class isn't easy and he's a bit odd, but his expectations are clear and his homework and quizes really prepare you for his exams. I worked really hard for a B, but I walked away with a greater understanding of chem.. would take again.

Do not bother taking Professor Ramdayal if you're not willing to put in a lot of effort--he has no patience for students who don't prepare for class. He provides you with a lot of resources to prepare for tests--take-home assignments, his handwritten notes, quizzes. He has a really dry sense of humor which most students don't appreciate/understand.

By far one of the best chem professors in bergen. Retook this class over the winter break and learned more in 2 weeks than I did the whole last semester. He provides you with a lot of notes packets to help you prepare for exams. He cares a lot for his students and actually enjoys teaching. Take him !

Had him for organic 1, great professor. Doesn't like lazy people, so do not take him if you want an easy A. With him you definitely learn best professor at Bergen.

Great Professor. He's very clear and definitely knows his stuff. Very helpful and straightforward with the material. But you need to put your part as well. A lot of studying is required. He gives helpful packets so you don't really need the book.

Excellent teacher. He may scare you the first day but if you pay attention to his class and read the material he gives you in class you will get a good grade. He repeats key definitions A LOT for you to pass his test. if you prepare and read for his classes and labs you will do more than ok.

Dr frank is a great proff he has a accent that is tough to listen to but it can be very funny his lectures are easy and he goes over everything clearly you will not regret taking his class. he gives you a packet of notes that has everything that you need to know for the class

People only think he's a bad professor if they have a lot of trouble with chemistry. He explains everything very basically and clearly, it's hard to be lost. Yes, he makes jokes regarding the classes lack of knowledge, but that's only because a majority of the people HAVE a lack of knowledge. Just listen and practice everything, you'll be fine.

Excellent professor; has tough accent. If he sees you try, he will help you until you understand the material. Study the packets he gives you. There is an A for you.

A very intelligent individual, absolutely adores chemistry. All topics covered in class will be on the exam; there are 4 exams and a quiz each week. Practice questions are a must in preparations for his exams.

Ramdayal is the ideal professor. Hands out packets to study from, homework to practice, and notes to explain all the material. Resourceful and intelligent. Also, he actually TEACHES the material, unlike some other professors. I definitely recommend!

I've come to the realization that he is one of the best teachers I've had. I tend to have to work hard for good grades. I read the textbook, do the recommended homework, use the online content provided. I have a far better understanding of chemistry than I ever have.

Professor Ramdayal is an amazing professor and I can say the best at BCC. Even though I read the others saying he is a tough grader or write bad reviews about him, everything is a lie. I took 2 classes with him and he is the best. That's all I can say. Highly recommended, got 2 A already

Prof Ramdayal is definitely worth taking if you don't mind working. His grading criteria is clear and he is very fair with grading, although he may come off as a tough grader in class. Let's get one thing straight, unless you reach out to him after class (in person), the man does not care what your situation is. Study practice problems, youll pass.

I took this professor for chemistry 1 during the summer after earning a D in Chemistry I at Rutgers. This man literally taught everything. Chemistry is not an easy course but if you put in the time, you shall see the results! I am planning on taking him for Orgo..

FRAM! He's easily my favorite professor. He's very funny and cares a lot about making sure that his students learn the material. He gives many handouts and handwritten notes to help guide the students through the lecture. Attendance for lectures isn't really mandatory, but the lectures are extremely informative. I highly recommend taking him!

Professor Fram is my favorite. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I would definitely go to the lectures. Textbook isn't mandatory either. He let's you use a variety of textbooks, not just the recommended one for the course and is very understanding. He is hilarious and definitely a fantastic professor. You'll never go a class without laughing.

Take him if you actually want to learn Chem. He is tough, and expects you to work, but he's fair and will help you succeed if you're serious. He's extremely knowledgable and always willing to help. He wants his students to walk away from his class by understanding concepts vs. memorizing details which is exactly what you want in a professor.

Easy class if you passed high school chem. Its the exact same material. I had him for honors and he tried to make it sound more difficult than it was. He goes a little fast some times and might get frustrated at small questions. It shouldn't be an issue if you've taken chemistry before.

He goes *FAST* so if you can't keep up with the work or the lectures, be responsible and get help:tutoring center, his office hours, even youtube tutorials online. He's clear in what he wants and what will be on tests. If you took chemistry in high school, this class will be an easy A. If you didn't, just put in a little effort and you'll get an A.

Awesome professor! All the negative comments are completely wrong about this man. He may move a little fast, but that's because he doesn't trail off into tangents or personal stories like a lot of professors. He explains everything thoroughly, gives you lots of review packets and study websites, and is always available after class to provide help.

Professor Ramdayal is great. When you first meet him, he will give the impression that you won't pass his class but he is excellent and is going to prepare you to get good grades. The material is difficult but he is going to make it looks like nothing. You will have to study to pass. I definitely recommend him.

Professor Ramdayal is a very knowledgeable professor who can break things down very well. At first he seems intimidating and hard to understand due to his accent, but after a few lectures you'll get used to his accent and begin to see how caring he really is. He curved almost every exam and If you ever need help just go to his office hours.

Dr. Ramdayal is the man. Organic chemistry actually makes sense and his class helped me figure out what I want to do with my life. Do his recommended problems, and good grades will come.

Very nice teacher, a little pacy. But, you have to work for it. Take the professor if you want to learn.

Had him for both CHM 100 & 140 for lab & lecture, took him twice because he's that good. He uses dry humor that most people take offensively but he means no harm. His classes are straight-forward & as long as you take notes & pay attention to his reviews, you're good to go! He's always willing to help, just ask! Emails notifications for everything.

THIS IS THE BEST TEACHER THAT CARE ABOUT YOU, VERY RESPECTFUL. HE WILL EXPLAIN MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND. KNOWLEDGEABLE, I WISH IF HE TEACH ALL CHEM CLASSES. THIS WAY YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL FULLY UNDERSTAND AND PASS. BEST OF THE BEST

He is a really good professor. I took him for CHM-100 and CHM-140 both lecture and lab. He is clear on what will come in the test. Provides study guides. He always emails you and remind you of your quizzes and test and provide material to study from. He usually gives 20 min extra time before the actual time of the test. extra questions in tests

This guy is the reason I know what's going on in my Organic Chem class at Montclair University. The basics are so clear in my head a full year after taking his class. He was uber helpful all throughout the semester and always respectful and kind. I actually miss him and am planning on seeking him out for help as my organic chem class progresses.

Was Organic Chemistry the hardest class I have ever taken? Yes! Would I ever take Dr. Ramdayal again? Heck Yes! Listen, in all classes, you get the grade you have worked for, but boy did I work for that B! Dr. Ramdayal explained the material well for me to go home and learn the rest myself, but I did all the problems in that organic chemistry book.

I failed high school chemistry once and college Chemistry TWICE before taking his class and passed it with a freaking A+. And because of him, I received an A in Organic Chem and am on my way to an A in Biochem. He teaches concepts so you understand what you're doing and are not just forced to memorize a bunch of info that you forget in 30 seconds.

Dr. Ramdayal is an outstanding professor, everyone is intimidated by him first, but once you get to know him, you will absolutely love him. He is passionate about chemistry and he is the best at teaching it. If you want to get an A just pay attention and do the work.

don't let the harsh syllabus fool you. All you need to get an A is to follow the lectures. He gives you one week to submit the lab and he gives you all the instruction need. the final exam is basic things too. At first, I was hesitant, the only reason I took him was the schedule, but now I would adjust my schedule to take him.

I don't understand why he has so many bad reviews. Professor Ramdayal is a great professor and very knowledgeable about what he teaches. His accent is not a problem at all and his lectures are pretty clear as long as you pay attention. His labs are really easy and straightforward and his quizzes are not hard at all. Take him you won't regret it!!

Had him for accelerated summer course. He gives alot of assessment during this course, 8 quizes and 4 tests. He was very clear about what he expected from you and nothing on the test was a surprise. He would answer questions before and after lecture. Tryed to make the material as comprehensible as possible. Fair grader, book is not required

As a bio major, I took Professor Ramdayal for honors introchem and he was (and has been), the best teacher I've taken throughout my college career. Quizzes every week to enforce the material and to test your knowledge so you can see what you know/don't. I also took him for Gen Chem 1 and Gen Chem 2 and wished he taught Orgo when I was taking it!

Good professor, explains content fairly clearly, labs can get chaotic. Imo if you fail out of his class it's your fault 100%. 2 quizzes worth 1.5% of your grade before every test, 4 tests, each 16.5% each. Quizes helped a lot, tests very similar to tests. Funny guy too, helped lectures go by just a bit quicker.

I took Dr. Frank for CHM 100 and its lab class. He is helpful, knows his stuff, and always asks if you have questions. He is like a HS teacher in the sense that he's always there for you. His exams aren't hard at all; it is things you cover in class. There is usually extra credit for a lot of points too. His labs are simple, and he demonstrates.

Graded reasonably, I understood the material. Does not accept late labs so make sure to turn in all labs on time.

I took him for general chem I lecture and he was alright. My only critique was that all his lectures felt rushed so you have to be prepared to learn everything outside of the classroom.

a little difficult at times to understand him, good luck getting a email response but it's an easy class. I took him for CHM100 and CHM 140. NO HW. Theres 4 tests and each one is based off the 2 quizzes that were before it. Provides practice tests and quizzes that are SUPER similar to actual exams and is extremely easy to study for.

I took Professor Ramdayal for CHM100 and it was a great experience. He explains the material clearly and the tests are not too hard. Everything on the test comes from the handouts, so if you study those, you'll be fine.The labs are also easy — you just need to practice and follow the steps. He's very helpful and wants his students to succeed.

I took his online course back in 2022. He was amazing. He made me like chemistry more. This class is mostly mathematical-based and knowing how to use equations rather than in-depth concepts of chemistry.
