Know-it-all prof., very boring, tries but fails to make jokes. Chemistry is interesting; this guy makes it boring.

I had a lab with this professor. Though he is very strict and doesn't tolerate stupidity, Dr. Gutierrez is helpful when it comes to understanding material whether it be on the midterm, final, or post lab questions. Recommended if you like a challenge...if not, go with Chen!

kool teach

very cool teach

Class is fun,you have to study there is no way around it, if you want a breeze through class this isn't it. His objective is to get you to learn, if you have trouble understanding something go to his office and ask he's always helpful and it'll clear things up. :)

he is a great prof and teaches for chem majors not for those wanting an easy grade, and for those that are chem majors he is the best looking prof in the department. Very easy on the eyes

It is embarrassing to see college students pretending they're in high school. It is true that Dr. G. is really demanding. However, he does everything he can to help students get the best grade they deserve. If you want an easy grade, stay away. If you want to learn, Dr. G's class is the perfect place to be. You'll have to work hard, though.

organic with dr. gutierrez is difficult but take him if you really want to learn the material word to the wise, be on time and be prepared especially if you plan to take him for the lab as well

Notes were really useful and class was fun and informative at the same time. He gives tricky exams but overall, it was a great class

Students complain that he is mean. That's probably the students who think they're still in high school and that a professor should allow them to pretend that it's OK to disturb the class. If you want to learn, go ahead and take his class. If what you're looking for is an easy grade, then take Macossay. An added bonus, he's hot!

Expect to work hard. Going to his office really makes a difference. He really helps those who take the class seriously. Expect to be called upon if he catches you doing stuff not related to class. Good guy overall

He is a good professor, and if you go to him for help he will ehlp you. He wants you to pass, but you need to study and do the review. Get the book "Organic Chemistry as a second Language" it helps.

Great professor. Of course he expects you to know and understand the material! After all, that's why we're in college. Dr. Gutierrez really makes you think about the subject, do not expect to memorize only. It takes a lot of work but it's totally worth it, especially if you're taking the MCAT or decide to pursue grad school.

This professor is demanding but it actually helped me get to a level of excellence I didn't think I was capable of. I think that the people who complain the most are failing or not even attending his class.He certainly understands his subject and gives real life examples in class. Expect to work hard but also expect a lot of help from him.

Excellent professor overall. Masters the subject well and explains them clearly. Applies lessons to novel research purposes so that keeps me interested. While working for a global company, I was able to apply the lessons he taught. May seem intimidating but actually very approachable and helpful. Org Chem 2nd Language helps in this class.

He is a true professor. It's hard to find such quality teaching like Dr. Gutierrez'. He was not easy to understand because he treats students as being "intelligent." He expects students to be prepared for lectures and doesn't baby you, for those who like being lazy. Great professor, I highly recommend for those who plan on taking PCAT, MCAT..etc

At times, it may seem like he attempts to trick students, but it's far from the truth. Some of his questions on exams and quizzes come straight from examples in class. Make sure to take plenty of notes when he lectures and don't simply rely on his power points. Ask questions in class. Once most students drop he'll help everyone that stayed do well!

The ONLY, and I repeat ONLY, organic chemistry professor at UTPA that does not teach by memorization. Period. I was disappointed that I wasn't able to take him for organic II. If you've learned or will learn organic by memorizing, you won't stand a chance on the MCAT/PCAT. So take him and pay close attention. If you do, you'll come out of there actually understanding organic as opposed to simply having some reactions memorized.

Do not take this professor if youre lazy or think that a good professor should treat you like you are not able to think on your own. People looking for an easy grade should also avoid him. He makes you think and is quite demanding but the overall experience is totally worth it. He is extremely smart and not a bad looking felow either

Highly recommended for pre-health profession students

Dr. Gutierrez is as cute as a chicken nugget and cooler than the other side of the pillow. He is also the best Organic Professor at the UTPA. He is the best, Dr. Gutierrez FTW!!!!

I think that each Organic Professor the UTPA has their strengths and weaknesses but speaking about Dr. Gutierrez I must say his strength is preparing you for the MCAT or PCAT. His course is hard, but lets face it Organic Chemistry is very hard. If you think it is easy you had a terrible professor. Dr. Gutierrez is good and cares about students.

Dr Gutierrez-Gonzalez isn't such an easy professor. But lectures are awesome. He rights everything on paper on overhead which makes it easy to learn since he goes step by step. Never like Org Chem but want to take Org Chem II w/ him!

Great professor. The class is difficult, but I'm actually learning rather than just memorizing for the tests. His lectures are interesting and you don't really need the book as he writes all of his own notes. Attendance is not mandatory, but it helps because he'll go over problems in class. Definitely take this class if you want to actually learn.

Best OrganicII Proffesor ever!! He teaches everything you need to successfuly passs your MCAT or PCAT. Hes very handsome and funny which makes it very easy to pay attention to him. He is VERY helpfull and is available for any questions you have. His tests are very short half written questions and half multiple choice. I highly reccomend him.

Took it during the summer with him, and he is a brilliant teacher for Organic Chemistry. He doesn't cover the whole scope of organic but just what you need for your MCAT. If you succeed in his class others that had different organic teachers will think your a genius! He makes a topic that must be self taught fun and so much easier! TAKE HIM!!!!!!!

Amazing professor. His course is very interesting. You need to study for exams but it's not anything he hasn't gone over. Going to class is highly recommended. He drops the lowest exam. I recommend him. I didn't take him for organic 1 so my first exam wasn't so great but I made it up on the final. Watch his tegrity videos! They are good reviews.

has to be one of the most attractive professors on campus! I really enjoyed his class, having come from a different organic 1 professor I was a really worried but it was totally worth it. SI sessions really help alot. He has been one of the best professors that I have taken! Do the work and study and you can get an A, no book required.

This man is the best professor to take for organic chemistry. He gives so many opportunities for one to succeed. He posts his lectures, notes, practice exams, and allows the use of models during exams. Incredible professor, I'm glad I took him. I think I'll take him for ochem2.

Dr. Gutierrez is an AMAZING professor! He is always willing to give his students all the resources they need to get the best grade possible! His lectures are never dull! Plus he's always available during office hours to answer any questions. I highly recommend him! You won't be disappointed:)

He is a great professor! He gives you all the necessary materials needed to ensure you pass. Just study the reviews and do the exercises and you will most likely do well in this course. His tests are tough so study hard and attend any SI sessions or him personally. He is always willing to help.

His lectures are clear and he answers every question you ask, even if you've asked more than once already. He throws in a joke or two which makes time go by faster. Always willing to help.

Mr. Gutierrez is a great teacher. The subject he teaches is difficult, but he explains the subject very well. The class is not easy, but getting an A is possible if you study and ask questions. I feel so lucky to have had a great teacher for a tough subject!

AMAZING PROFESSOR. ATTENDANCE IS NOT MANDATORY BUT IF YOU GO TO CLASS AND PAY ATTENTION HE EXPLAINS REALLY WELL AND TELLS YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO PASS THE CLASS. YOU'LL ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL RATHER THAN MEMORIZE IT. HE PUTS EVERY CLASS ON TEGRITY, WATCH THE VIDEOS AND YOU SHOULD BE FINE.

Dr. Gutierrez is a really good professor. He teaches organic chemistry very very well and gives you EVERY opportunity to do well. Although he does this, the biggest deciding factor on what you will get in the class is how much work you put into it. If you want to do well, WATCHING TEGRITY CLASSES IS A MUST, GO TO LECTURES, & DO PRACTICE PROBLEMS.

Probably the best professor at the university, good teaching method, explains material well. Drops lowest grade, 4 exams, quizzes, te gritty recordings and practice exams.

The people who are salty about how bad they did weren't well prepared. That's it. All you need is an 88 (2301) or an 85(2302) to get an A. He won't ask anything he didn't go over in class. He posts notes at the end of the week, so I just payed attention to what he was saying and showed up having preread. I got a 97 and 95 on O Chem 1+2. Just prep.

Honestly, just go to class and do the practice tests.

Great professor really nice, I understood mostly everything throughout the class. His tests are difficult, but nothing impossible. I ended up with a B, but thats my fault. I could have and should jave prepared better.

he is a great professor he was very understanding honestly make time and go to his office he explains it over and over if u need it !!!! DONT BE SCARED if you need the mcat this is the proffesor to take!!!!!!!

He is intimidating but if you show him you care about your grade you will do fine. Don't be afraid to ask questions, he might make a face when you do but it isn't because he thinks the question is dumb it's because that's just his face lol. I would definitely take him again. He breaks down the material so you can understand.

Dr. G is a great professor. He is very straightforward with what to expect, everything he lectures is the material you need to know to ace the exam. Its not that hard and you will learn if you put in the time. His grading scale is flexible and is always in favor of the students. His exams aren't hard and he always there for his students.

Dr. G is awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pay close attention to his LECTURES, POWERPOINTS, and the Tegrity videos that he post online and you should be fine. It is definitely possible to get an A in his class but you have to work for it. Just like for anything you want in life. I only got a B because I procrastinated and studied the night before

Dr. Gutierrez is an AWESOME professor. He moves really fast, but you will learn from his class. He uploads tegrity videos of his lectures and is always available to meet outside of class if you're unclear about anything. There are four exams, but your lowest exam grade will be dropped. No quizzes or homework.

He drops an exam, but you need to study, but his tests are mainly focused on his lectures both online and offline, and I want you all to remember, HE IS NOT TRYING TO TRICK YOU! It may seem like it, but he's not. He's actually trying to give points, he also may seem scary, but he's not. Just study and practice and I am damn sure you will get an A.

Gives 4 exams & drops the lowest one. The final isn't comprehsive and doesn't read off powerpoints. Instead, he actually teaches the class using molecular models, writing notes, and by giving problem examples. Don't focus on writing the notes in class though. He posts his notes online along with his tegrity video lectures which are also helpful.

4 Exams, drops the lowest one. If you're satisfied with your grade after the 3rd exam, there's no need to take the final. The class itself is not hard, it just requires practice , like any other applied science course. He's really helpful and if for some reason you feel like he's going too fast, he post his tegrity videos on blackboard.

You get exactly what you put in, this class wasn't meant to be easy, so actually dedicating more than the day before the test to study is crucial. Every aspect of the lecture is straight forward and fast-paced, so unless you make an effort to speak out during class on parts you do not understand, or visit his office hours, you will fall behind.

Dr. Gutierrez is an awesome professor. He is very clear cut about what he expects in class. He gives Tegrity lectures from 2015 that supplement the lectures he gives in class. Taking OCHEM is already a given - you WILL need to study and the grade wont be given to you. 4 tests, lowest dropped. I dropped ochem once and this time I got the A.

Going into his course I felt completely confident in my chem skills, but did horribly on two of my exams. I dedicated an immense amount of time studying to pick my average back up to at least a B. Somehow I managed an A just he provides plenty of opportunities to raise your grade.

Challenging course, but Prof. Gutierrez provides plenty of opportunities to improve your grade. Recorded lectures and unstuck AI helped me stay on top of the material. Not easy, but doable with dedication.

Attendance is extra-credit; however, I would still show up as he goes over important material that's not featured in the lecture videos. Dr. Gutierrez is an efficient professor as you must learn the reactions, not only through rote memorization, but more so application. You're doing it right if you think you haven't studied enough on test day.
