Dr. Lufaso is a very good professor. The person that left the comment that he wasa horrible dropped the class early and didnt do the work assigned. His Quizzes are directly taken from the homework, so as long as you do the homework you will do very good on the Quizzes. THe homework is optional and is only for your benefit. The tests are then t

Great professor. Went a little fast in lecture, but will recover material until it is very clear if needed. Very helpful with office hours. Tests come straight from homework and quizzes. Teaching style ensures you learn the material. I'd take him for CHM II if he were teaching it. Gives bonus points for homework and in lab. Awesome professor

lufaso was pretty damn good. he knew the course material very well and made sure to go over things that people did not understand (if people were willing to raise their hands and say "i dont understand"). he was a little speedy in lectures, but as long as you read the chapters beforehand, it was pretty easy to catch up.

I personally liked him as a teacher. Yes the class was pretty boring and dragged on sometimes. But he puts all the notes on blackboard and goes over your questions in class. If you have a question, raise your hand and he'll be more than happy to help you answer it. And he's great to talk to after class, very helpful. Tests.. study the homework

He goes through the Lectures fast but is eager to help if you go to his office hours. His tests are not too bad as long as you study the assigned homework problems. You definitely need to study hard for this class but it is not impossible to get an A as long as you put in the work

This professor was amazing. He went over things really fast in lecture to the point where nobody knew what he was talking about. However, if you asked him questions after class or went to his office he was more then willing to help you until you understand the concept well. I had him for lab too and he was absolutely hilarious.

His lectures are so fast and he often doesnt explain well. He does know what hes doing, but that sometimes hinders his explanations because he thinks everyone is on the same page as him. He will, however, help you outside of class a lot. You need to keep up in class and do all the assigned practice problems to do well. all lectures on blackboard.

Very helpful and super smart

Great teacher. Come to class, take notes, do the homework, ask questions and you will pass the class hands down. Chemistry is a hard subject at first and a lot of people are just upset because they didn't get an easy A. He will give you more chances to pass than other instructors in the department but in the end your grade is what you make it.

I would recommend Lufaso to anyone. He is funny and gives good, interesting lectures. Some people had trouble with the online homework, but I liked it and found it fairly easy to use. Be warned, the textbook is practically unreadable. Fortunately he didn't use it very much.

He is an awesome professor! Take him if you can. I have heard horror stories about other Chem teachers but he really goes out of his way to help you if you try. Had him for lecture and lab which really helped I think. If you dont understand something, go to his office hours and he will gladly help you. Wish I could take him for all my chem classes!

makes a difficult subject as easy as it could be. Do the online H.W. he gives out and you'll do fine on exams/quizzes- they're never as hard as the online HW. helpful in office too. if you get him, dont be intimidated by the subject and tests; they're actually not that bad. again, DO THE HOMEWORK!

Lufaso is the best teacher to take for chem. & know that chem. isnt an easy subject. If you do your ALL of your work, attend class everyday, study ur butt off, review the material before and after class and basically everyday, and get help alot, then you should be ok. I highly recommend you dont slack at all!!dont even daydream during class cuz u w

He makes difficult concepts much easier! He is a good teacher and answers questions thoroughly. His online quizzes/hw are VERY helpful. tests can difficult but they reflect the lessons so studying is very important! ps-turn off your cell phone unless you want to sing "im a little teapot" or "ice ice baby" to the whole class. haha!

I don't know what happened to him during the second test when the class avg was like a 50 and i think that was not including the ones that automatically dropped. Yes, his tests can be hard but honestly chemistry is one of the hardest classes that you can take so of course it's gonna be hard. Online hw are hard but perfect problems to study for test

He's a pretty cool teacher it's just the material that's hard as heck. The exams are pretty hard. - DO THE HOMEWORK!!! I can't stress that enough.

lufaso is a nice man, despite what people say. He helps when you have specific questions. masteringchem homework pretty easy and he offers extra credit on hw. tests are hard, but they are multiple choice with 3 or 4 short answers. he teaches the material well its just a matter if you apply it or not. we had a study group every wed and got b's.

I don't recommend taking Lufaso if you're taking other difficult courses. He acts as if this class is the only class anyone is taking. Unlimited supply of homework, difficult tests (especially final), and numerous hours spent in the library teaching yourself. Good professor if you know your stuff, Terrible professor if you're not a fast learner.

Dr.Lufaso teaches at a good pace in lecture, and had done examples of problems of every chapter in each lecture. He's helpful during office hours as well. Exams are a bit tough, but there's no surprise questions at all.For the final, he even made a practice test. Great professor & person.

He can come off to be intimidating but he is a nice guy if you talk to him. He offers a lot of ec and the hw is a huge part of your grade. You can fail a test and pass with an A by doing the ec. Attendance is not mandatory but you might as well drop the class if you don't plan on going because his tests are mainly over the material covered in class

Dr. Lufaso is a great prof. by all standards. He is always willing to help, very clear in lecture and on the tests, and test exactly what he teaches. His grading policy is also very fair; he places a high value on homework, which is helpful. There is also plenty of extra credit throughout the semester.

Dr. Lufaso is an amazing professor. I'd recommend anyone to take him. Although there are 3 tests and the 1 final, they cover material from lectures and hw. Plenty of extra credit opportunity on online hw. He is funny, and very helpful. Of course, Chemistry is a difficult subject in itself so be prepared to work, but I had little to no trouble.

Dr. Lufaso is a tough, yet excellent, teacher who has to teach a difficult class. If you put the work in and pay attention you will do well. Do not get behind or wait until last minute because you won't catch up and will probably fail. He is very willing to help you in office hours.

Chemistry 2 is a hard class and Lufaso does a good job lecturing for it. He is slightly intimidating and very smart, he gives 3 mid semester exams and a cumulative final, homework every week on Mastering Chem and extra credit pre-lecture homework. You have to come to class and pay attention in order to pass, simply not an "easy" A course.

Dr. Lufaso is extremely intelligent and can be hard to follow in class, but is always willing to help you during office hours. He was also very responsive to emails. Homework takes several hours but is worth a big part of your grade. Gives lots of extra credit, which saved me after failing one of the tests. Wish I would have asked for help sooner.

Tests are hard but very passable if you work, do the hw, and put in the effort. HW takes time but you learn a lot.

Professor Lufaso is a good choice for your chemistry lab. If you read your manual before lab each week you will be fine. Turn in your lab report with the right sig figs though, this is because Chemistry Professors really do enjoy taking off points for those. Easy homework and the quizzes literally have the same questions each week...

Very intelligent professor, but extremely difficult and you need to read the book, go to class, and spend at least 6-10 hours a week studying for this class. Most of the class withdraws by the end, and the average exam score is an F or D. I got a B, but It was very close. Lufaso wrote the textbook, and a 66-78 is a C, a 78-80 is a B-. 80-89 is a B+

I had him for chem 1 and decided to take again for chem 2 this year. He is very straightforward with his expectations. People complain about the homework, but I honestly found it to be one of the most useful tools for passing the class. Lecture can be boring, but again hes straightforward, hell give you the info you need if you can keep focus.

Take Lufaso for everything you can honestly. I had him as my chem 1 lab professor and he was great now as a chem 2 lecture professor, still great. He is very knowledgable and helps students, always can answer their questions appropriately.

Very involved with the textbook, he told us the first day that he was one of the people that wrote it! So he wants you to read before class, especially since his lectures are fast and not easily digestible but he is approachable after class. I got away with not reading because I spend time on the homework. Homework is very hard, use tutoring!!!

Super tough class, and Dr. Lufaso is perhaps the toughest professor who teaches it. Very smart professor with clear grading scales. Homework every 3 days and some extra credit. Over 50% of the class withdrew. Final is cumulative.

Professor Lufaso is very knowledgeable about the subject and is very clear on what he expects out of students. It is not an easy class if you do not put in the work. There is a lot of homework, but the homework truly prepares you for the tests. He also posts exam reviews for extra credit. There is a lot of work, but if you do it you'll get an A.

He provides a clear grading scale that makes it easy to keep up with your grades. Tests are difficult but it doesn't deviate away from the type of problems that are assigned in the homework. If you do the homework you can do the tests, it just needs some studying to get it down. Its best to go to his SI's study sessions since they really help.

He can get ahead of himself during lecture and start writing things out on the board faster than you can take down notes but he is very knowledgeable about the subject matter and his exams are a direct reflection of the homework which follows the lectures pretty closely. DO the homework and USE the hints in MasteringChem.

The lecture videos are something lengthy but helpful. Pearson hmwk that takes a few hours 2x a week. Prof offers some extra credit & posts an exam review with practice problems for EC. This class is really what you make of it, if you watch the lectures & attend a few SI sessions, you should get an A. My lower grade is from not doing just that.

Really hard course to take online. Lufaso lectures well and does tons of example math problems. Do the mastering homework. Then do it again for fun. It's so much work it's exhausting, I went through 2 entire notebooks this semester. You'll struggle a lot without consistent practice. His exams and hw due dates don't sync up at all.

All assignments but the test were on Mastering Chemistry but he gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. The exam reviews are very similar to the test, & every question on the test "we have seen 4 times" and he proves it. I really recommend attending every lecture because the practice problems he goes over in class are just like hw & on test.

Lufaso is really not as bad as the reviews suggest. Grade is mostly tests. Best way to prep is to do the review problems in mastering chemistry. If you can get those right and understand them you'll be fine. I missed 6 homework assignments and was still able to get an A-. If you fill out your scantrons right he gives you a pretty nice EC boost.

If you want to know how to solve the exam/homework problems, you have to go to every lecture and take notes. He does many examples and shows all steps. Gives good amount of extra credit on exam reviews. You don't have to remember equations for test. Also, a 58% is a C in his class. You really have to try to fail his course.

Either this professor has changed or this page is plagued with bad reviews. Professor Lufaso is great and teaches you everything you need to succeed. Tests are based on examples and homework problems, making it convenient to study for his class. Most importantly he offers a generous amount of EC. This class isn't easy, but its more than fair.

It may seem like a hard class to pass, but Dr. Lufaso makes it pretty easy. He assigns homework related to exactly what we went over in class, I strongly suggest showing up to class and engaging in the lecture. His exams are very similar to his powerpoint slides so he gives you everything you need to pass if you show up to class. He's a genius.

For lab. I liked the setup, start with a full report writeup for 1st lab (pieces each week) with good feedback, and data summaries. Need to know your stuff from lecture to do well. Reports and summaries got easier+shorter as the semester went on (may have changed since). Was a lot of work in the beginning but reasonable for upper level lab.

Professor Lufaso is a serious professor who is well educated in the area of Chemistry. He does 5 exams 4 in class exams with 1 drop, and one final that can not be dropped. He provides some extra credit opportunities, and overall he cares about his students. If you want to pass the class you have to go to SI, office hours, or study hard, lots of hw

I don't care what anyone says this guy is great. People complain about homework but it's worth a lot of the grade so if you suck at test taking you can still do relatively good. He explains everything clearly you just cant memorize the examples you have to actually understand what you're doing
