Professor is extremely helpful in class and office hours… She posts a lot of materials and helps us prepare for the exams. Lectures are clear and has provided me the necessary tools to succeed in this class. Pace is perfect for average students and as Professor mentioned in class that learning the concepts is important than completing more chapters

She tried to go slow because the class average was low at the beginning. Besides if you tak eher for orgo 2 she will continue were she left off. Take her do the HW ,rec problems. The practice exam is good to do but a lot of repeating problems that come from rec problems. she is extremely nice and wants all to pass. go to office hours

A lot of people complain about how hard she is but she is very, very, very easy compared to other orgo teachers. All you have to do is practice the problems she give. Read the textbook because she goes painfully slow and won't cover everything. The lecture is so big that you will have to do most of the learning on your own.

Professor Chatterjee is a great professor that definitely provided all the resources needed to succeed in a class like orgo. She is VERY helpful in office hours, and she gives a lot of practice for exams. She may post the practice exams late, but there are still plenty of recitation problems to practice from. Definitely wants students to succeed.

Professor Chatterjee was extremely helpful and tried her best with such a large class. One of my biggest concerns was that she went extremely slow in the beginning, so she sped through many of the mechanisms at the end. Otherwise, her recitations were helpful and she always gave practice exams to supplement before tests and a ton of extra credit.

First off: go to office hours if you take Professor Chatterjee. This is where both her best teaching and most friendly sides come out. Second: I found the large practice exams (and other practice probs) extremely helpful. The exams are for fine tuning knowledge right before the exam not a main study tool... Some people in the class didn't get that.

Wonderful teacher! Everyone complains she's a bad teacher or can't teach but she's really good. Explains her stuff really well and makes the test very doable if you study hard. OChem is not an easy topic and people blame it on the professor. Study hard and do practice exam problems (which are given ~10 hours before exam) and you'll get an A in clas

Professor Chatterjee broke down all major concepts into their basic driving components. Her pedagogy, mixing iClicker interactive learning into lecture, made learning the subject a lot more clear. She also held multiple office hours throughout the week and I never missed her Tuesday slot. I would highly recommend this professor.

Professor Chatterjee is a very insightful teacher. She is passionate about organic chemistry and is willing to help you if you take the time to ask and go to office hours. She also held numerous review sessions that I found were very helpful. Orgo is a tough class but with all the resources provided, you can do well.

She is a wonderful teacher...!!! Only students interested in learning OChem can appreciate what she has done to this class. OChem is not a easy course to understand but she puts her best effort to make it clear to everyone.

She is an amazing teacher! I think she deserves sainthood for making orgo so easy to learn. Genuinely helpful, without a trace of the attitude I have seen in literally every other college chem teacher I ever had. Breaks down every concept, repeats the main points, and provides examples - so you GET IT. Can't praise her highly enough.

She is such an awesome teacher, she explains everything so well and cares about her students. Her reviews and practice tests are vital in passing. She is probably the best teacher I've had for chemistry. Gives lots of extra credit.

She explains clearly enough, but she assumes that you read the textbook, and will skip certain sections on that premise. Loads of extra credit, at least for this year anyway. We even had an extra credit music video. Just youtube "o-chem 224 extra credit" if you don't believe me.

This is a difficult course, and professor chatterjee does a great job of making concepts easier to understand. You will need an iclicker to answer questions in class. She likes doing group work with problems, so that people can help each other learn. And that music video project was fun!!!

Prof. Chatterjee is the sweetest. It's important to pay attention to her lectures (she emphasized the mechanisms that will be on the tests), go over her practice tests and keep practicing. She does a great job breaking down the concepts and I like the way she incorporates the earlier reactions/ concepts into the new ones. Orgo is a hard class!

Fantastic professor, she is beyond helpful. Just show up to every class having read the chapter, and go to office hours as well for that's when she's the most helpful! She's perhaps the most caring professor I've encountered thus far, she genuinely wants each student to excel. Take her for Organic Chemistry, you won't regret it.

Fantastic professor! She explains everything like it is without attempting to confuse the student. Everyone says organic chemistry is such a difficult subject, but it really doesn't have to be and Dr. Chatterjee shows you just how easy it can be. Of all the sciences I have taken at Hunter as a Junior, this class was by far my favorite.

This class is best taken immediately after the general chem sequence. Dr. Chatterjee puts emphasis on the basics, and lectures to give a strong foundation in the first few chapters. Yes, it means we moved a little fast toward the end, but by then it didn't matter, because I was able to understand so much more. Work hard, take notes, practice.

Very kind and enthusiastic about the subject. Clearly puts a lot of effort in to preparing her lectures. Extremely helpful if you attend her office hours, she really enjoys helping students understand the material.

Professor Chatterjee is a great professor. She really wants her students to do well, and tries to make sure that the information is understood. Was very patient and helpful with teaching lab techniques.

This is not a easy course and you definitely have to spend hours of effort if you want to receive a great grade. However, Prof. Chatterjee is caring, genuine, and enthusiastic about the subject. I am very grateful for what I have learned from her class.

Clearly puts a lot of effort into preparing her lectures and genuinely wants her students to succeed. She doesn't always explain thing effectively in the lecture with 400 students, but she's fantastic at explaining things in her office hours.

Great professor makes the material very easy to understand. Don't even ever look at the textbook; I just studied her slides and played games during class (had to go for clicker questions). Even if you're doing bad she offers plenty of extra credit. Best orgo professor at hunter.

By far the best Professor I have seen at Hunter. She really cares about all her students and wants them to succeed. You definitely do not need the textbook because she teaches all the material very well in lecture. She prepares you very well in Organic and makes it a very enjoyable experience. She is amazing!!

Dr. Chatterjee provides a vast amount of resources, that if taken advantage of, can help you ace the class. Her lectures are very thorough and cover all the material you need to know. Her practice tests and recitations are a great way to enforce the material you learn. Her office hours and review sessions are amazing and highly useful to succeed.

Chatterjee's class is a very fair introduction to the rigors of organic chemistry, and I feel as if most people posting responses do not appreciate the difficulty of an organic chemistry class. She gives every opportunity she can for students to succeed, including a very detailed practice exam prior to every test. Work hard, succeed and learn!

Waaaaay better than Harding or Persell, best professor in the department at Hunter. Would take her higher tougher orgo classes... if I were stupid enough to take them

Chatterjee isnt the strongest lecturer but she provides more than enough resources for you to do well. Many people forget that this is Organic Chemistry, supposedly the hardest science course one can take. But compared to the Orgo in other colleges she's the easiest one. Her tests are straight forward and she is almost too nice to her students.

Took her last year and did very well both semesters. The key is to read the chaps before going to lec, do the recitation packets, and as soon as the practice exams are up, do the entire thing. It's going to take a lot of time and effort, but she's a very fair prof. Also remember that Orgo is cumulative by nature; you can't forget anything. Ever.

The class is a complete joke-- there is also a huge curve at the end.

Chatterjee might seem like shes tough, but shes actually really sweet. In order to ace this class you need to keep up with the work. Do the packets, and the practice midterms. The homework is really annoying and long but do it for extra help. I think shes an awesome teacher that is very clear in terms of what shes going to ask you in the exam.

Professor Chatterjee was a fantastic teacher. Always available to us and very patient. She is the kind of teachers who care, not just about academics or students experience with academics, but about us in general. She is very nice and approachable. Great professor, one of the best professors I've ever met.

Had her for the summer session, where everything is super fast paced and it's easy to fall behind if you don't study hard. She's not the best lecturer, but she does get the main ideas across and will answer any questions during her office hours. There were only 2 exams and 1 final, which were tough but manageable if you do the practice problems.

Orgo is just a hard subject. Period. Her office hours are probably the best way to see her actually teach. She cares. She really does. I have seen her sit with one student painstakingly breaking down the simplest concepts. You cant be in this class expecting to slide by. Im probably going to pass with a C but hey its Orgo. Im taking her again.

She is great, legendary, intelligent, beautiful, knowledgeable, caring, and a terrrific professor. I learned so much chemistry material from the course and I am grateful for everything. The course alone is challenging but she made it easier and more understandable. Her methods were great. Thankful for having her, totally recommend her. Excellent.

I love her she is great and very knowledgeable, she pushes you to achieve greatness ! Just go to tutoring all the time and on her office hours and read before you go to class and you will be fine. Plus participate a lot on your recitation it can help you a lot gain extra points at the end.

Definitely not an easy class. However, if you work as she expects you to, you should be fine. Exams have 5-15 extra points that gives you room for error. Other components of the grades are scaled, so you can expect a full score if you perform around 85-90%. A is possible, not as intense as BIO with aliae.

It is Orgo II with 350 other students, Chatterjee does the best she can. Her lectures are interactive with the iPads. She posts SO many practice tests and I found several problems from the practice tests on her exams. She is compassionate and really does care about her students success. I wish that the exams were more proctored, people cheat.

Organic chemistry is a very hard subject, be prepared to work hard and a lot outside of the class. She has a lot of opportunities for extra credit and the grades are scaled. She also curves the final grade. If you put an effort into this class, youll pass. Ive taken the summer session and did the lab at the same time and got A+ on both.

I will probably get thumbs down for this but this is my honest review of Dr. Chatterjee. She is so kind and always pushing the class to do their best. Orgo is a hard class in general but she gives you so much practice. Her office hours are the best because that's where she truly shines. She is amazing and I can't imagine taking orgo w/anyone else.

Okay so heres a very honest review. Organic chem ks hard for sure. However, dont let that scare you. Chatterjee has a large class (500+) students so it is a given that her lecture is not super helpful always. Major tips: READ TEXTBOOK BEFORE LECTURE, Do every single practice problems and go to her office hours. This class requires time and effort

I actually really enjoyed this class. I failed the first test and got a D on the second because I wasn't prepared for the rigor of this class. Do NOT make my mistakes. Do every problem from the recitation packets and the practice tests, and go to her office hours. My study buddy got an A+ in the class, so it is 100% possible.

Give weekly practice problems and practice problems for each exam which is about 150 pages, multiple choice and short response. Do all the practice problems and go to office hour, you will get a A.

I gotchu on the review. Chatterjee should be appreciated for how much practice she gives. Guys, u wont learn Orgo by just reading the textbook. Her 60 page review packets every week & before tests save u. There are TAs that genuinely care to help so u cannot fail. She is heavy on hw but I thank her for that bc I learn from the hw. Orgo is fun!

Amazing professor gives a lot of review and help

Go over the stuff she focuses on in class. The TAs also go over questions that show up, so go over those problems (along with professor's lecture notes) for the exams and you'll be fine. Every exam had extra-credit worth 15 points. Homework is a lot but do a little every day so you don't get overwhelmed close to the due date.

she is an amazing professor. she is very helpful. She might look strict during lectures. But she is very friendly. very helpful and personal during the office hours. Her TA's are amazing as well. Clicker questions were challenging but many of them showed up in the exams. I was afraid taking it during summer. but it was great.

She is amazing! She gives a lot of practice problems for your benefit and she really wishes you well. Her exams are extremely fair. Read before lecture, do her practice problems. Wiley is less imp. than her practice problems so get that out of the way. Try to get all points. Make Iclicker group friends.

Just finished orgo I with Dr. Chatterjee. Wonderful professor and would highly recommend. She understands what is important to learn orgo (practice drawing compounds and changes after reagents) and emphasis the important points in lecture. Clicker points do add up so make sure to go to class. Provides a lot of resources to help, really learned

I think this class is very doable with enough time and practice put in. Chatterjee provides so much study material that gives you direct insight into how her exams will be structured, so you'll know exactly what she's looking for. Office hours are super helpful too, so attend them as much as you can. Just study, study, study! You'll get that A!

One of the best professor to teach organic chemistry. Cant blame her if she has over 400 kids in lectures, but if you do the practice sheets she posts daily and understand the concept you will do good in her class.

She has her quirks but she's not that bad. Her tests are based off of her massive packets she posts. You just have to be diligent on practicing mechanisms and problems. She's fair with grading when it comes to clickers and homework. Definitely read the textbook and try to sit up front. An A is possible if you aren't lazy like me.

Dr. Chatterjee is a good professor. Orgo is a tough topic so it is not an easy class but she gives lots of resources and practice. She encourages everyone to get help when they need it and to always try. She gives review sessions before exams and genuinely cares. I'm actually glad she asks people not to talk during lecture so I can hear

I took Organic Chemistry I with Dr. Chatterjee for correq. I have not done stellar like A+ but I certainly fell in love with the science of organic chemistry. And, you will as well if you visualize the mechanisms and the reactions you are learning from the textbook. Draw them out on your own, color code them, do whatever. Make it Fun! Ask for Help!

Dr. Chatterjee is wonderful. She keeps class on point and needs to because it is a large group and difficult subject. Anyone considering taking organic chemistry should really take it with her. If you accept the subject is hard and it requires a lot of time no matter where you take it, you will appreciate how much she does for all her students

She is amazing. Her TA's are very knowledgeable. Organic Chemistry is a hard class to take anywhere. I read the chapters prior to each lecture, paid attention to the clicker questions, and did the packets like 2-3 times religiously. I am expecting an A. do what she says. you might end up liking orgo and get a good grade.

In this course you will either give up due to lack of resilience or you will persevere and learn your strengths and capabilities. As a student, I am not a topper but I am persistent about my goals and this course taught me how to strategize for and during exams. I learned to time myself to improve my processing speed. I ended up being in the top.

not gonna lie, orgo is a tough class and requires a lot of time. from what i've heard that is true no matter where or who you take it with. but I like her approach, the recitation packets and practice packets before exams are helpful for learning especially if you try then bring to office hrs. hw is a lot but otherwise I think she is great for orgo

Orgo is not an easy course. It's extremelly dense and you have to study at least 5 hours a day. Dr Chatterjee is great if you are willing to work hard. She is accessible outside the classroom, office hours are very helpful and her TA's are amazing (mine was best, Rebecca). I learned so much this semester thanks to them. Looking forward to Orgo 2.

This class is not like gen chem where you can just pass the class with A easily. Make sure you to read the textbook before every lecture, do 100 Wiley Plus homework on time, and religiously do ALL OF PRACTICE PACKETS she posts on BB. Try to make your own cheat-sheet and study them regularly. She won't be that friendly but you can still pass.

Orgo is never easy, but she genuinely works to provide a lot of resources to students and makes it clear what she expects on exams. If you do the practice problems and turn to office hours when you need them, you should do fine (or even fantastic) in the class. It won't be easy, but it is definitely doable.

Look orgo is not an easy class but Dr Chatterjee honestly wants her students to pass. Go to office hours and her review sessions and pay attention in lecture. If you have a hard time focusing sit in the front. Be best friends with your TA. The problem sets are a real treat bc most profs dont offer it. Im an orgo TA now so trust me, effortreward!

Dr. Chatterjee is a great professor, Orgo is not an easy class, she tries her best to teach. She might sometimes come off as rude or she doesn't care, but she really does. She doesn't want to baby you, you aren't in gen chem anymore, read the syllabus, and actually do the HW.

She makes you work for your grade. If you utilize all resources, she can shape you into a strong student. Her slides/lectures are straight from the textbook. Exams (3 + final) 70%, quiz (3) 10%, HW (Weekly) 10%, clicker 10%. LOTS of work but practice makes progress. She is your better option.

She really does care, do your work make sure you do all the HW. To do well make sure you understand why the reactions are happening, why this formed a chiral center why this reagent doesn't work and you can do well.

Im not sure why people are so mean in her reviews. She was great if you sat down and studied her work. She did everything to make sure students got extra points and passed

I don't know why there are so many bad reviews abt her. Chatt is honestly the sweetest lady and our whole cohort is bummed that shes not teaching orgo2. She always listened to our requests to extend deadlines and was so sweet. exams were extremely straight forward. Its very hard to not do well if u actually put in the work. no orgo class is easy...

She gave so much extra credit opportunities to bring everyones grades up. Redo the homework problems several times, clickers during class that she lets everyone retry a few times. Both only require like 90% to get full points. She is good at explaining concepts/ very knowledgeable so just ask if youre unsure. Also really nice and quite funny.

dont get it twisted i legit failed the first time i took her, and then i got an A. I will never forget what she was like when she wasn't on the lecture stage. She was so much more chill, funny, kind esp in recitation. She listened to everything the people had to say in the summer. i will never forget her and I thank her so much. REST IN PEACE <333

She was an amazing professor and I really enjoyed her lectures. She was always willing to give us extra chances on the clicker questions, took the time to explain concepts, and was overall a very nice person. RIP Dr. Chatterjee :(

she cared about students and wanted to teach us orgo. Exams were annoying as lockdown browser and on camera. But still they were relatively easy as it was at home. She was a nice professor. I enjoyed her even though she'd get frustrated when no one would know anything and make stupid mistakes. RIP

After hours was where you could make a real 1 on 1 connection, ask questions and improve with practice. She was always on time, and we would all race upstairs to get a seat in the room to do the practice. She was a great teacher in those situations and it showed in the grades of the students who showed. Even in vet school, I owe her my love of orgo
