Overall I think Gilletti is a great teacher but there was one thing I didn't like, he doesn't thoroughly teach the last couple of chapters. He says that he promotes students to be self learners towards the end of the semester, which has some merit, but I pay teachers to teach me the stuff. Tests were challenging, as were quizzes, but he curves.

I took this teacher last semester for 151, and after most of the 152 semester with a different teacher, I wanted to update my review of him. Gilletti is incredible at preparing you for what you will see on standardized tests. If you are going to have to take a PCAT, MCAT, DAT, etc, take Gilletti. You will know your stuff and be very prepared.

Dr. Gilletti sets you up to succeed in his class. Everything is graded on a curve and there are bonus pts available that do not count against the curve. Tests were tough, but fair. He has a good sense of humor and tries to keep class interesting. Not the quickest grader in the world, but overall definately worth taking a class from.

I don't think I have ever had a teacher that cares more about his students than Gilletti. Even though he had multiple classes of over 50 students, he seemed to know everyone by name on day 2! Chemistry is a very difficult subject, and he made a challenging topic much easier through his teaching. Another plus - he curves grades! HIGHLY recommended!

Gilletti is a great professor who cares about all of his students' success in future educational and career endeavors. He does a great job explaining everything with examples you can relate to. I leave every lecture/lab feeling like I learned something, rather than feeling confused (like my last CHM professor). Highly recommend, lecture + lab!

It's an ok class. Subject material is VERY hard but Mr. Gillette knows that and really works with you by dropping quizzes and giving bonus points. I didn't think I would make it through this class but with his curving and dropping and bonuses I was able to make it through!

Genuinely good at teaching. A little silly, but it helps the material stick. Covers everything well enough I never cracked the book (which is terrible, by the way: RENT it!) and got a high grade. Not to say he's EASY, no, but you only fail if you don't pay attention. Highly recommend!

Great professor, his lectures are very well thought out, always gives a practice test which is somewhat hit or miss compared to the actual, but tests are generally straight forward. As long as you practice the problems and try to understand the concepts this class is fun and easy. A very approachable person.

Anybody who has put a bad review up for this professor just doesn't want to be at school. Professor Gilletti will bend over backwards to make sure you get the help you need. I hardly studied at all and still got a good grade thanks to his extra credit. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Gilletti simplifies the math aspect of chemistry in a way that makes it easy to understand. He shows empathy towards his students when "life happens" and is always willing to help in any way that he can.

He is a very approachable professor when you have issues with any of the material. CHM152 can be pretty difficult at times, but he does a good job simplifying it. The one thing I didn't like is how he rushes through the last few chapters and piles the homework and quizzes on heavily. He did that with 151 too but he is still a great teacher.

Dr. Gilletti is one of the coolest teachers I will ever have. He made chemistry so clear and easy to learn. His homework is extra credit, but necessary to understand the material. He gives past tests and quizes to help you prepare for the current tests and quizzes. All around fun and easy class if you put in the effort. He did an amazing job,

Prof Gilletti had no organization. He gave no schedule for exams which meant I was creamed on the first test because it was a day before an upper-level bio exam. He had little patience for explaining anything. He does post old quizzes & tests but you never know if they will be like the test. P-points are thin at best. Would not keep order in class

Dr. Gilletti is one of the best professors! I recommend taking his class. He lets you do homework to get extra credit, and the homework helps a lot for the exams and quizzes. He won't give you an easy A, but if you study and attend his lectures, you will be super fine. I used to hate chemistry until I take his class.

Dr. G is one of my favorite professors at MCC. He teaches the material well, gives good feedback and cares and know his students. He truly wants you to succeed and gives you ample opportunity. He is very kind and is more than willing to repeat stuff and go over material with you. Took him for lab as as well, and I highly recommend him.

Gilletti is an amazing professor. His website is self-explanatory. He can get disorganized in lectures, but if you read the chapters you'll be able to weed out what you don't need. I'm taking his 152 due to how well he explains concepts, he's also willing to meet for office hours for extra help. He's not the easiest but definitely one of the best

Dr. Gilletti is extremely knowledgeable and he knows how to make the problems easier to solve. I was never good at CHM, but I took 151 and 152 with him and got A for both. Do the hw, they are extra credits and can help a lot with your grade. He also curves your grade, so if you couldn't get the grade you want, you didn't work hard enough.

Nice guy, fairly decent teacher. His weekly quizzes are hit or miss. All the old study material is online but there were numerous times when what he had us study and what we were tested on were completely different. He posts and updates grades regularly. Homework is extra credit. He skips through a lot of notes because they "aren't that important"

The best professor I've had in my many years in school (I already have a BA and BS). His lectures are easy to follow and understand and he posts all his slides. His exams are difficult but he provides all the old exams for you to study from. He's caring and compassionate but only if you're not the dummy missing classes. Take him for lab also!

Professor Gilletti was a fun professor. However, I had to take his live online lecture course for CHM151 and due to us not being in person, there was no homework. This meant that our quizzes, midterm, and final was all you had for your grade and some of the questions/topics on the examinations were never covered during class.

Everything in the grade book is tests so its kind of hard to do well if you aren't good at testing, His lectures were great and stayed on topic but a lot of the learning is reading the book on your own and doing practice problems. Reach out to the people who seem like they know what they are doing and form study groups, it helps a lot.

This professor was a real gem to be honest. I took him for the lab part of CHM151 and I passed with a B. Honestly I wouldve gotten an A if I wasnt lazy outside of class. He gives every opportunity to pass his class you just have to be willing to make the effort. I ended up dropping my lecture part as that professor didnt teach me like Gilletti.

He is very engaging and knows his stuff, will keep your attention even when covering mundane content. He only grades on tests, homework is solely for extra credit. Will do review in class and has a lot of resources online. Most people that have trouble with this class generally just have trouble with chemistry and not the professor.

Chemistry is hard enough but with my learning style, Gilletti wasn't enough. He had no schedule, leading us to have 4 exams and 7 quizzes in the last half of the semester. Only graded quizzes, exams, and homework were only extra credit, although it was around 60-70 questions. He did give partial credit on quizzes. But the final wasn't his own.

Keeps best 7/10 quizzes but the past quizzes he tells us to review for the current quiz aren't close to what he will put on our quizzes & tests are hard! He goes through lectures very fast and can be confusing. You will have to review the slides on your own time if you wanna do well. Homework is optional extra credit so do it! Nice funny guy though
