Enjoyed this class! Teacher made chemistry less intimidating than it's supposed to be. Takes time to walk you through any homework problems you may have. Is a very approachable and people-friendly guy. He was my favorite Chemistry teacher out of all the bad Chem. teachers I had before him. I highly reccommend him for anybody needing a Chemistry!

Dr. Roberti was pretty cool, the class itself is not easy so be ready to study! Make sure you show up to class, there is a lot of information each week and if you miss a lecture you will miss a big part of the test. Dr. R has a dry sense of humor and laughs at his own jokes but he is a really cool professor and is helpful when you don't understand.

So glad I took Professor Roberti's class. He's great, and a very fair grader. Chem 2A requires a lot of formula memorization. It's not hard, but you definitely have to study and get the formulas down. I recommend not taking any other hard classes while enrolled in this one. Also make sure you take chem 2x to get the extra help you need.

He is really passionate about Chem and that made the class more enjoyable. But his lectures, Chem2xworksheet and textbook readings do not always match up with what is on his tests. He loves true/false and has plenty of challenging multiple choice questions on tests (Too many I say). Chem is tough and with Roberti it is challenging, but manageable.

He's a good teacher, but if you have never taken chemistry some stuff may be difficult to understand. Homework and labs are okay, some are super easy.

I actually really enjoyed taking Roberti's class. Work load is a lot in a given week but don't think that's specific to him. Watch lectures, read the text, and attend every tutoring session with chem tutor if you can. He's really helpful if you reach out or attend office hours. Study guides he gives are AMAZINGLY helpful for exams. No complaints.

I would like to say that this is the most problematic teacher I have ever met. He reduces the rating for every little thing, even if you write extra numbers after the decimal point. It sets a huge number of tasks that need to be completed during the week, namely experiments, homework of 37 or more tasks, quizzes, projects, and much more.

This professor grades super difficult. The class turned into a math class by week two and the lectures are hours upon hours long. Not only that the assignments that are given out can take up the entire day, not only that my experience with him was nothing but negative. Very rude and not helpful at all. Do not take him as a professor

Horrible teacher. Lectures are at least 4 hours long, you will spend hours and hours each day on this class. The teacher rambles on in lectures and makes you take so many notes that aren't even helpful. He is rude and gets mad easily at the class if we don't understand something.

Class was tough but he mentioned time and time again that this class was going to be a class you have to commit to. His lectures are very long, but he does base all his exams on those lectures. He also provided printed out slides of the lectures so you didn't have to write down all the notes from scratch. Stay on top of assignments and you'll pass.

Great Proffesor. If you study hard you can get A. He offers opportunities to get extra points. Video lectures are not short. He repeats materials on his lectures. It is sometimes boring, but really helpful for your understanding. I wish he taught other science classes like physiology and microbiology. I would take him for sure for those classes too

So far, Trevor has been my least favorite professor, ever. Extremely long and boring lecture videos (3+ hours long), a very nit-picky grader, and a VERY awkward personality/communicator. I maintained straight A's until I took his class. Do not take this class unless you're an actual full-time student and can spend countless hours on his assignments

I'm a little over halfway through the semester and can't tell if I like him or not. He is very lecture heavy and incredibly judgmental of his students' grades. However, he is the smartest chemist I have ever met and really knows his stuff, and is more than happy to pass on his knowledge. I recommend 15-20 hours a week in order to succeed.

He takes a really long time to grade things. Be prepared to spend HOURS on end watching his lectures, in which he repeats the same things over and over and over again. Go to the writing center for the Drug Paper and that should bump your grade up. Do all your work because your test scores will probably be mediocre at best.

Roberti is lecture heavy, his lectures aren't useful and are boring. The book is the most helpful thing to pass his class, if you are struggling & ask for help he is very condescending and unwillingly to work with you. Very unresponsive, hard to get ahold of, takes forever to grade, little to no feedback and no study guides for exams. Take Clemens

This is a hard class, especially in the summer. Expect to spend a lot of time studying. He does have long lectures (and likes to see who viewed it). The pop quizzes are regular weekly quizzes. He has a unique personality, and is not a stereotypical professor. But, he is accessible and offers a lot of help and additional resources!

If you're good at chem and stay on top of work, you'll do well. Pop quizzes can help or hurt your grade. Lectures weren't engaging—mostly reading PowerPoints from the book. The second half gets harder. Weekly homework, precise labs are key. Nice guy but monotone; seems better suited for advanced chem classes, where students are chem or bio majors.

Roberti is not helpful when answering questions, his explanations leave you more confused. He expects you to already know the material before class and does little to prepare you for the cumulative final. I had a 94 before the final, and it dropped me to a B. He also uses Pearson, which penalizes mistakes. If you want to learn, avoid at all costs.

Roberti is a good professor. He offers extra credit on all his quizzes and tests. Pearson homework docks you for a little bit incorrectness, but he bumps up your overall homework grade by 10% so if you don't get an A in the homework you are doing something wrong. He clearly cares.

Is this class hard? Yes, honestly harder than Ochem in my opinion. But that's because its an intro course that takes a lot of time, and to be honest, I didn't understand his lectures much; he would zone out a lot.

Reading the book is the key to success in order to make the most of his lectures. Taking good notes and lots of practice with the concepts is important to do well because he has pop quizzes.
