Dr. Lalloo was an amazing professor! He's passionate about Chemistry and his lectures are clear and easy to follow. His class wasn't difficult but that just may be due to his ability to make the content clear, easily accessible, and well-organized. He doesn't teach on extraneous materials that are not needed.

Lalloo is a great prof; he made chemistry fun/easy. Although lecture isn't mandatory, it's helpful to go. He explains everything you need to know, and makes it easy to understand. Tests are almost exactly like the practice exams. Only homework is web assigns. He drops your lowest test grade, but there's no curve on anything. Would def take again.

Because of Professor Lalloo, chemistry went from being the most intimidating subject to my most favorite subject. He is probably one of the best teachers I've ever had. Lectures are super interesting, and his passion is really there - He is very "animated" when he teaches. Exams are very fair, only testing on what is covered in lecture. GOAT.

will take lalloo again and again. second course with him and he really values his students and his work. lectures are made to truly understand the material, not confusing at all. Orgo 2 is difficult overall, but he makes it understandable to learn. 4 tests including the final, hw based on completion.

Orgo II is a very difficult class because of the sheer amount of content you have to know, but Dr. Lalloo does a great job of explaining concepts and keeping lectures engaging. Take CH223 with Lalloo if you can!

Orgo 2 is no joke- lots of mechanisms which is why it is a 4 on difficulty, HOWEVER, Dr. Lalloo is fair with testing and if you do the homework, attend some office hours, and put quality time into the class- you will succeed. He is an amazing professor and provides everything you need to do well. He added office hours for us & you get a drop exam

Dr. Lalloo is a blessing to NC State, and I am grateful to have learned from him. His lectures are incredible and insightful; however, homework and exams require a solid studying commitment outside of the class; taking Lalloo does not guarantee a high grade. The homeworks and exams are very similar; if I could retake Orgo with him, I would 110%.

Really REALLY good at teaching chemistry, and understanding of circumstances, for example I missed the final due to an accident and he quickly setup a makeup no questions asked. Probably the best professor you could get in chemistry as a whole.

Lalloo was the BEST professor I have ever had in college! He genuinely cares AND he simplifies complex topics in a concise way. As long as you take notes during lecture and study hard (since it is a hard class regardless), you will pass his class with an A. He made me fall in love with chemistry again and I couldn't speak more highly of him.

Dr. Lalloo managed to make an hour and a half, 200 person lecture entertaining and engaging every single time. If you're struggling with anything at all, his office hours are basically a one-on-one where he will make sure you understand it. Super funny and caring about all his students, and he made chemistry actually seem interesting!

I took him for Orgo 1+2, he's truly an amazing prof. I had 2+ years between the courses & his Orgo 2 I don't rec. if you have large gap (some profs in the dept. will review a tiny bit more). If you take the class right after Orgo 1 he's truly the best professor. Office hours are a MUST imo; go to class, engage with the material, you'll do well.

If you have any chance at taking Lalloo for any chem class, take it. He is genuinely one of the best teachers i've ever had. He makes class fun, hard concepts understandable, and is always there to answer questions. He is so supportive of his students and truly just wants to make learning chemistry easier.

Lalloo is a great professor. You can tell that he really cares about his students and is dedicated to helping them learn. His exams are very similar to the practice exams but more difficult. Chemistry is difficult no matter the professor you have, so I think he took a very great approach to helping us through this course.

Loved him! Chemistry is hard but he makes it bearable. All of his lectures and assignments make sense and the grades are very fair. If you put in the effort, you can do well in it. Has plenty of office hours and review sessions outside of class. Wasn't the easiest to reach through email but I don't necessarily think my emails needed a response

The best CH 101 professor at NCSU. As long as you go through the lecture slides (either during lectures or in the comfort of your dorm), practice all of the practice exams, practice all of the recitations, and supplemental instruction questions, you are guaranteed an A+. Dr. Lalloo's lectures are engaging. He is really down to earth.
