Good teacher and an easy 100.

His teaching is the best. He is a very nice professor. He always available to help students. He is an expert to make hard and boring organic chemistry become intesting and easily understood. His teaching and research makes chemistry department look good!

Really nice teacher.

really cool guy~ Althought he never let you get out early. The best organic professor!!!

Excellent teacher... never turn students away when they need help. Though u do bad on his test he does not make u feel bad but hope. Unfortunately, he is not teaching organic next semester. :(

Seriously, I wish all professors were just like him!

Definitely Professor Cesare is the BEST professor living. There was only one professor in my life that i can rack up to him. What makes him even better, is that he teaches the most diffucult undergrad course in any FIELD!

PERFECTION. DR CESARE IS GOD'S GIFT TO ORGANIC AND SJU. GOD BLESS HIM.

Funny guy and tries to make the class fun. VERY HELPFUL and never turns the students down. If you do bad on the exams, he tries to make you feel better.

although the subject is not easy itself, he tries to make it as easy as possible. very helpful and will spend time talking to you and trying to help you. i didnt have any other o chem teacher besides him but i cant imagine a better o chem teacher.

Had Dr. Cesare over the sum, - and boy was the class hard... but he made the material easier to understand, and made sure you learnt it! He's prolly one of THE best profs I've ever had, he deserves all the praise in the world... thanks doc, you da man!

he is the best professor i ever have!!!!

Aweesome prof! 1st test is hard, the 2nd and 3rd have the same material as the first!

He's a really good professor...always there when you need help...the material is hard, but thats not his fault, organic chem is hard. He tries to make the material more understandable and gives really good notes. Also the best looking chem teacher I've seen so far =)

All hail Dr. Ceasar - Half of our class couldnt have made it through org chem if it wasnt for him - notes are impeccable and tests are fair

we love you! the BEST teacher ever for any chem class. take himmm!

Best Chem professor Ever. A must take.

HE IS THE BESSSTTTTTTTTT

Great Professor. Unlike Grahm, Cesare gets to the point. Points out exactly what will be on exam. Gives extra points if you go to him during office hours and show interet. I got an A- in class with just a 75 average.

take if you can, graham ain't bad but ceasar would make your life more easier - less concepts to know on exams but will have reaction questions in its replacement. but take him so much nicer, and helps students out, and he is funny.

He is a great professor. If you want to learn organic, he is the man. Teaches you the important things and very clear, unlike Graham. Yeah his test are hard, but what do you expect, it's Organic. You want a good grades, go to him, if he sees you are trying, your grades goes up definately.

he is a great teacher, just be sure to know your notes really well...

Dr. Cesare is the BEST!!! He's fair, extremely helpful during office hours and you for certain learn a lot. He's like a legend!

Great person, great teacher. Everything on the exams are from his notes so come to class!

I have a crush on Dr. Cesare! He is by far the greatest professor i have had. Organic Chemistry is horrible but Dr. cesare seams to make you feel like you can actually do it!

He is by far the best chemistry teacher out there. Very approachable, very helpful and very easy to understand. As long as you are keeping with the readings you will pass with flying colors.

He is one of the best organic professors. His exams are fair, and the way he teaches is excellent! Very helpful if you have questions. To do well...need to study alot, come on its orgo what do you expect?

Fantastic professor with a genuine interest in teaching. Makes a notoriously difficult course very manageable. You will have to work hard to do well, but his exams are very fair and you will get out of this course as much as you put into it. If you are having trouble, he is incredibly helpful.

He is the best teacher for this course. Gives clear lectures and specifically tells you what you need to know for the exam which cuts down the extra stuff. His practice in class is helpful but he is available outside of class too. I got a 60, 85, 76 and A- as my final grade being above class avg. Study and be in class!

Blah! He's a good professor but the course is way too tiresome and hard. Believe me, take this guy if you want some kind of salvation.

He trims the fat of Organic chemistry. By coming to class, he tells you what is very importanr and what is not on the test. Overall, very helpful and willing to listen to all his students, even those that never show up to class and begin to panic when the final comes along.

The 2 ratings below are just saying that so students will drop out of his class so they can take him for chem 1120. He is a good professor and tries to help students out.

Very nice and extremely helpful. Jokes around from time to time. Easy grader. All negative comments are false. The best organic chem professor EVER!

Excellent teacher - I wish I had him for every class

this dude is so cool...He is very clear in his lectures. His exams are sometimes a bit tricky. He jokes around from time to time. Uses the word "SEX" to get everyone's attention when he feels everyone is sleeping..HE GIVES US 5 EXTRA POINTS FOR WRITING OUR NAME ON A PAPER AND COPYING SOMETHING OFF THE PROJECTION SCREEN!(2x/semester)

Cesare is the man. Willing to help during office hrs, 3 exams, drops one, gives extra credit if the class needs it. He gets annoyed if people talk in class, but other than that hes the best. If you wanna learn and do well, stick with him.

This guy has go to be the best chem tcher. His notes are so crystal clear that you don't even have to reread the book. Very Caring and Funny too. Only downside is that his test is only 20 questions so make sure you know your stuff.

Cesare is the man, and he is a giant!!. He just looks small from the back of the room. Organic chem especially the chem for pharmacy kids is hard in general. But Cesare made it simple, he is a great lecturer, cracks jokes, keeps class interested. Exams are doable. Must Study, Study his slides!!. Does give extra credit for attendence but its random!

For the PA and Pharmacy kids, cesare is a godsend, extremely approachable as a teacher, talk to him during his office hours, study his slides, and try to go to every class (for the extra cred which is immensely helpful). Simply put Cesare is greater than all the other available chem teachers (brown and sarra), and you cant go wrong with him.

I thought he was just a little harder than what I expected but still, he was a great teacher and very approachable. Visit him during his office hours and he'll help you as much as he can and maybe even give you some extra points. His slides are very useful but you really should go to class because he explains through his slides there.

CESARE IS THE MAN!!!!! Organic chemistry is a nightmare but this man honestly saved my gpa. He puts the slides online but going to class will really help you espeically if he sees you there. show him that ur trying visit him during his office hours HES ALWAYS THERE TO HELP!!! hes the only chem professor i recommend especially for pharmacy majors!!

THESE people are stupidd victor ROCKSSSSS MANN hes greatttt i got A u just have to work really hardddd his test are very simplee do ableee

Subbed for Dr. Brown. Seemed to go right with the flow, used PowerPoint, gave us real life examples. Don't see how people can hate him.

He is the best professor I have ever taken at St. John's. Class is really interesting and he pertains a lot of the information to real life. Definitely take him! Very approachable, always there to help you. He really wants his students to do well.

Took him for both semesters. VERY NICE MAN! and VERY APPROACHABLE! Go to his class, talk to him, show that you are working hard, and get fairly good scores on tests (its ORGO! You have to study) do good in lab, online hw and you are all set to AT LEAST get a B+, obviously extra effort would get you more :) RECOMMENDED!

Prof. Cesar is the best !! Its organic chem .. so dont expect this class to be an easy A .. but he explains the material so well !! His tests are doable .. sometimes tricky, use the book for reference. I love him ! He's so good !!

great prof and very helpful

Organic Chemistry is a difficult subject but I really believe that Dr. Cesare makes it as easy as its going to get. No matter what you need to study. He curves at the end of the year which is partially based on improvement. Try to keep your momentum going throughout the semester and keep up with the studying.

Dr. Cesare really knows o-chem. What I really liked was how he tied o-chem into everyday life. He is so funny and has such a pleasant demeanor. And he is a big sports guy which is another plus.

Tough course, but Professor Cesare tests fairly and is very accessible for extra help or a talk. Really cares for students and not just a robot trying to get through the lecture. Gave a 5 min talk on being proactive, not going with the flow, and not settling for average that got me motivated out of my slump. You won't regret taking him!

Awesome professor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! his test is tough but as long as you come to class AND listen to what he has to say you'll do well. Also reading the textbook is mandatory, his tests are hard but as long as you spend every possible minutes on his question, you'll be ok.

He is a good teacher but exams are very tough - you must study and study. I was an honors chem student and I had lots of difficulty. Do not count on a curve - you must do practice questions. However, he is the nicest guy. EXAMS HAVE NO PARTIAL CREDIT!!!

He teaches directly off PowerPoints, so you will need to teach yourself organic chem out of the book. This is entirely do-able; take his advice to heart and do as many practice problems as possible. This is the "weed-out" class, but it is a great opportunity to separate yourself from the pack. 3 exams and online homework for every chapter.

His tests are not that bad just do all the practice problems. In class, he'll say this will be on the test and guess what its on the test!! Very nice, approachable guy!

He's very helpful and his lectures are understandable if you read before class. Tests are harder than he makes them seem..... he doesn't curve

Tests are tricky. Write down everything he writes in class, especially the examples. They WILL show up, verbatim. And though he says he doesn't curve, he does. I should have gotten a C, but I got an A-.

attendance is not mandatory but it is extremely smart to go to class. students say organic chem is tough but if you pay attention, understand, reread your notes and do the practice problems in the textbook.. you will understand it. tests are 25Q multiple choice and all are questions are derived from what you learned via notes. class is very doable

He's..a good professor. I took him a while ago during the summer and he was very clear in teaching the material. However, be warned. This is orgo, a notoriously hard class, and his exams have very tricky questions. So do not be surprised if a bunch of people fail. Study, study study. Pretty sure the curve at the end is the only thing that saved me.

Had him for both semesters. Like most people said, he is clear in teaching the material, but this class was so stressful its not even funny. He made exams more harder than they should be. He's a good professor and always there to help, but his exams are too hard. Class average = 60's. Studied so hard only to barely pass. It's orgo. Study. A lot.

Took him for both orgo 1 and 2. Orgo is not an easy class, we get that, no point blaming him for that. He tries his best to make the material as interesting and easy as it possibly can get. Very nice and funny. Just make sure you put your all into this class, cause its not easy. Despite my initial impression, I ended up loving him and the classes.

Took him over the summer and he is a fantastic professor, though you really need to know your material inside and out. His exams are hard, but doable. I didn't exactly do that well, but I truly believe he is one of the best chemistry professors at SJ. My advice, study till you get knocked out and ask lots of questions. Great guy and wants to help.

This professor makes extremely difficult exams. You must study his power-points very well. Also study what he says will be likely/guaranteed to be on the test. He is very helpful and his slides are crystal clear. Ask him for help and he will give it to you. Also you must do practice problems from the textbook! It will really help for exams.

Learned so much from this guy. He is def takes chemistry seriously and the students should also. Powerpoint's were very useful. Practice text questions. He's always there to help. Test are mediocre in toughness, he tells you and emphasizes what will be on the test. Must study and review material, not memorize. Understand what is going on.

People think he's a hard professor, but I think a lot of people are lazy. Class isn't mandatory, but it is very helpful. You do need to read the textbook, and do all the questions to really understand the question. But he's one of the sweetest professors you'll have. He means well and wants you to truly learn, rather than memorize.

Great professor. Knows what he is talking about. Exams are challenging but are similar to the examples on power points. You do have to study and understand the reactions and mechanisms if you want to do well in class. Do the practice questions from the book, he also tells you what material will not be on the exams.

Orgo is not a easy class and Cesare knows it. Show up to class because he tells you exactly what you need to study for the test. Without his notes you'll be lost on the test. Study the online homework or back of the text book questions. He tries to help everyone pass but ultimately your grade is on you and how much work you put in.

Orgo is NOT easy. You REALLY have to work for it no matter the professor. He can teach you the basics in class but you NEED to go over it pretty soon after. Always study a couple of days to a week ahead of the test. Definitely need to understand instead of blindly memorize. 1 online HW per chapter. No attendance but should still SHOW UP TO CLASS!!

Dr. Cesare is a good professor, but it is going to take a lot more than his teaching to do well in his class. He reads right off the powerpoints, but does tell you what you have to know for tests (only problem is when they appear on tests it's 50x harder). He has office hours, but seems like he doesn't want to be there. This is a difficult class!

Went to class everyday for orgo I and II, stay on top of the textbook chapters. They'll help iron out the little details and might even make it easier. He doesn't offer extra credit except for a one question easy five point quiz for the final. Study hard and by that I mean know all the little details, his tests can get specific

Definitely try to take Cesare, his exams are just like his notes which he gives out. All you need to do is study his notes and read some of the chapters from the textbook and you are good to go

Get atleast a B on the tests and the final and you'll be golden with an A.

Okay Cesare is a very nice guy in class but all he does is reads off the slide so attendance is not 100% mandatory. As for the test they are difficult at times and really tricky but are manageable if you study 3 months straight before lol. IF he CURVES i would love him for the rest of my life tho. See that's another thing you dont know if he will!

Organic Chemistry is a hard subject already no matter what professor you have. Overall cesare was a good professor. He reads right off the PowerPoints which can get boring but he tells you exactly what's going to be on each exam. I ended up getting two letter grades higher than what I was suppose to get. It definitely helped my gpa.

He made me actually enjoy orgo. I recommend sitting directly in front so he gets to know your face. I never went to office hours but heard it's beneficial. 2 tests and a final the tests are hard and class averages are around 50 but he uses online homework and back of the tb questions. I would study the day before and get 80s. He also curves.

Orgo is a hard class and if you don't work enough he can't help you. He's a good teacher, but not a magician. He seems very strict, but he's actually a nice guy. Got 80s on midterms and finished with an A.

Lectures: explains and gives examples, skips some topics Homework: MasteringChem, gives 10-20 problems but create a groupchat with people in your class, help each other out Extra credit: may give a curve at the end of the class to boost final grade Exams: Q's are from HW and back of chapter Q's from textbook (library) USE KHAN ACADEMY TO STUDY!

Awesome teacher . Best teacher for organic chemistry as he'll work and try to make you understand the confusion towards orgo. better than graham, lukeman, and other professors. gives good feedback as well. if i were given a chance to repeat stereochem, i would like to learn more . thank you Dr. Cesare.

Really good professor. Let's get it straight: orgo ain't easy to understand at first but if attempted to try the material and understand the basis and why it happens is very important. He is willing to help if you make attempts to at least try it out, he ain't there to bite you or anything. He already tells you what is mainly on the exam so study.

Good professor, but orgo is tough and you have to study a lot. Going to class is not mandatory but it's better if you go. Online homework every other week, which you just have to attempt to get full credit. He doesn't curve the single exams but the overall grade at the end. Do the online HW and start studying a week before the tests to get an A.

You have to be willing to practice the things he shows you in class. He tells you to do back of the chapter questions and they really do help. Go to class and take notes on what he says will and will NOT be tested which crosses off a lot of the slides. Minimal HW, practice using the textbook!

Cesare the man. One of the nicest guys in the department and is more than willing to help you. Exams are tough but there will more than likely be a curve at the end of the semester. Funny guy too, enjoyed his class.

Cesare is a really nice Professor. He literally tells you exactly how to study for his exams. Do the questions in the text book after each chapter and do the homework questions and youll be fine. He repeats questions and he tells you in the lectures what to look out for on the exams. He replied to my emails in minutes with any concerns I had.

took natural product course

Honestly, if you put time into his class and actually study a lot, you will do just fine. Organic Chem is as hard as it is, but with some extra effort you'll do fine.

hes prob not the greatest at teaching but the curve was immaculate and people that didn't really deserve A's got them. there are 3 tests including the final (all multiple choice) and hw which is so easy bc u only have to do half of it to get full credit and the rest of your grade is lab. if you actually stay on top of the material on you'll do good

Great professor. The class is graded by 3 exams, hw is posted after every chapter and you only need 50% to get the full credit, and a lab that counts for this class. He does extra credit attendance "quizzes" where you just write your name. He curves the final grade based on how students do on the exams.

In general organic chemistry is a difficult class but he's a pretty good prof its just up to you to keep up with material. two exams and a final. The final is cumulative and more difficult than the two exams so make sure to study in advance. Doesn't curve exams, sometimes gives little credit for attendance but he curves your average a lot.

I'd rather take Cesare than Graham. For HW you just need a grade of 50% and he'll count it as full. There's three exams and the final is cumulative. Go to his office hours if you have any questions. He's a really nice professor and will try his best to explain if you need help.

Orgo 2 is not an easy class so make sure you study at least a week before each exam. Make sure you do the textbook questions (if you can do those the exam will be easier), attend lecture bc he tells you what is going to be on the exam. Sometimes he gives attendance quizzes..nice guy and always available during office hours and email!

Take this guy. He's tough, but so is Orgo. I got a C because I myself did not do a good enough job studying. The key with him - back of the textbook problems and showing up to lecture. He goes over what will be on tests and what to expect.

He's not as bad as I thought. Very sweet and laid-back guy who goes through the lectures at a relaxed pace (at least for me, although others may find his pacing too fast, which is fair). He says he doesn't curve, but trust me, he does. Homework is online, but it's tedious. The exams are fair game because many questions are from the homework.

I had him for OCHEM 1 as well. His exams are pretty difficult but he gives extra credit on exams for certain days when you show up to class (attendance isn't mandatory). Homework due every sunday, need atleast 50% on hw and he'll give full credit. Chill guy overall, he curves the class average at the end of semester depending on how everyone did.
