THis guy is a bit easier than Watson and Zavitsas. Very helpful if you don't get something and overlook one bad exam if you do well on the final. Also cracks jokes when he teaches so the material is not that dry. This is the choice for organic.

This professor is not so easy, but will stay in office for hours to help you. Not so clear with teaching, but will overlook bad test grades if you do well on final

Though not an analytical professor, he did manage to teach the important concepts that a chemist is required to know. He gives a lot of quizzes and it helps prepare for the final, but I think giving 13 quizes is considered murder.

He is unclear on his lectures but he is a very nice man. He gives many chances to receive a good grade in class. Just do the work and you'll be fine.

mad easy. very helpful. very lenient.

he is a very helpful man. he gives students a lot of chances to get high grades. i took him for organic 1 and i got an A. although he is not clear in his lectures, he helps you if u need help. u just need to read the book. do not depend on his notes.

One of the best LIU chem teacher in the campus. He teachs alot and you learn alot. This makes you get your moneys worth. He probably gets the most office hours. He treats his students with respect and he should be well respected.

great prof..very fair and respectful learned alot..always willing to help..as usual organic is tough and hes tests are hard so u have to study and read a lot on your own some of his lecture material is unclear but always willing to clarify something or help with any questions..overall great professor doesnt try to scare you like some of the others

very good professor..very fair always willing to help..although difficult you will be happy you worked so hard in the end definitly recommended!!

This professor is the best in LIU for organic!!! No one else is better! Not Watson Not arafat not pasternack no one!!!! schnatter is the nicest best teacher there is for organic!!! He doubles the grade on the final and he will overlook some bad exams! he is really awesome.

He is the best Organic professor at LIU. I was a freshman when I took his class and I got an A. He is a cool and helpful professor. He always finds time to help people even if he is really busy.

This professor is extremely fair. Everyone should stop complaining if you do bad he gives you a good grade if you try you get a bad grade. Shut up honestly He gives everyone what they deserve that's it no if and's or but's. Do this get all your test's and quizzes average them all up..look at the rubric and that's your grade..

Wayne is the by far the best professor I've had at LIU. His knowledge of organic chemistry is truely astounding and his deep interest in the material shows through his teaching. If you find yourself in one of his sections, consider yourself one of the luckiest orgo students in the school. Yes he's challenging, but you'll learn a tremendous amount!

He really is an amazing professor, VERY helpful, alway's making time for students, tries his best to make sure that you understand!!! Orgo is a hard class, so you have to study! If you don't, it doesnt matter how nice, smart, or anything he is, you wont learn the material. FULLY understand ch. 1,2 & 3!!! if you want an A in the class

Alright, he's definetely the smartest professor at all of LIU. Very clear, but lacks when it comes to notes. You MUST study on your own and don't mess up early. Has a great curve at the end but the tests are extremely, and I mean extremely hard if you don't study for 10 hours on the weekends.

one of the best organic professors. doesnt give notes, dictates a lot, but willing to repeat himself. exams and quizzes are similar to the practice ones that he gives out. very nice man that always offer to help and encourages questions

Its Organic. There's nothing you can do about it. READ THE BOOK--should be obvious. Dr. Schnatter def. offers the most help out of all the professors, but his lectures arent clear. He summarizes the Rxns/principles on the test & its your job to read the book b4hand. Keep consistency on quiz/tests & do well on the final & your grade will b curved.

he tends to go fast during lectures & assumes the students already grasp the subject covered after 15 min of him teaching it. He does offer a lot of extra help if you're willing to put effort into this class you would be fine. KNOW YOUR MECHANISMS! do not slack! read the book b4 comin to class.

he gives his past exams and quizzes to students so you can practice. Do them but don't memorize them, understand the concept. he usually puts reagants and such that you never saw on an exam he really wants you to understand NOT MEMORIZE. he gives partial credit and extra credit REALLY REALLY HELPS!

Schnat-man is one heck of a professor. He knows the ins-and-outs of what he teaches and is quite humerous at times. He tells you what you need to know so you better attend class and keep your hearing-aids on. Taking notes becomes a hastle at times because he writes all over the board. Just make sure you completely understand what you're learning.

You will have no life trying to read all the chapters of the book. Sheer hell.

Prof Schnatter is probably the hardest organic prof at LIU. His lectures aren't that great so you must study on ure own. His tests/quizzes are very challenging & difficult. He curves as he knows his tests arent easy. You have to put a tremendous amount of effort, orgo isnt easy but schnatter def makes it more challenging than it already is.

He is a hard prof. if you do not know your terminology for organic chemistry you will be lost.you have to read the book b4 you go to class. the one good thing about him is that he gives a lot of extra credit and curves a lot. also a 40 average is a "D" in his class

very smart prof whom will make you become a smarter orgo student than others who have taken another prof. Tests and notes are equally important. He loves to throw in few trick questions on tests. Truly understanding the materials is a must to do well in the class. His final is also very important.

One of the best professors at LIU. Yes, his tests are harder than other professors', but that's because he challenges you to think rather than memorize. I can't begin to describe how much easier pharmacy classes are now that I have a solid understanding of organic chemistry. He makes the enormous LIU tuition worth it.

Okay, at the beg of the semester, I thought DAMN, Satan has just won. But now that I got an A, everything is all good. Tests are challenging and he def knows it. The book was my life for 3 months but I must admit that although he is one of the toughest prof at LIU, he is one of the best. He is so difficult that watsob got a quest wrong hahaa

This professor seriously is the smartest professor you will ever meet. but he still can't teach he talks and talks nonsense its hard to pay attention

Hes a great teacher, but some tests and quizzes are ridiculously hard.

If you see his name on your schedule, consider yourself blessed. Schnatter will do anything he can to pass you, and his notes are not the best. The extra credit is unbelievable and he is readily available to help...you must read the textbook, he follows page to page. He's the hardest professor in the department, but you will learn so much.

This professor is awesome, but he is difficult. However, he will do anything to pass his students. He gives a lot of extra credit on every single test and/or quizzes he gives. Attending his office hours are helpful. His exams are very hard, but he always likes learning over grades. There are a lot of opportunities to do well in this course.

1. Lectures suck he just talksssss. 2. He will work with you and help you to get to your desire grade. 3. If you do the problems you will pass his class. 4. Quizzes start easy and please take advantage of that, the get hard. 5. I am not good at math and do bad in general chem So I was nervous but if you study, extra study you will be fine.

He is very good professor , you will learn a lot his tests are hard but if you understand material you will be fine . You have to study every week and he is really nice professor he always willing to help during his office hour . He is always there to help his students .

He is an excellent professor. Prepare to work hard. Organic chemistry is not easy and his exams will be easy once you put in the effort to understand the material. He doesn't want to fail anyone he does his best to help you out

Schnatter is a genius and a great professor. His lectures are long and require prior reading but tries his best to help students understand. Office hours are crucial for his class as he will remember you and try to help you get the highest grade possible. To make up for that, 90% of your effort is studying, while 10% is his effort in guiding you.

His exam are extremely hard, but if you know what's going on in class is super easy, he curves a lot give plenty extra credits, he is the best professor.

he is the hardest professor for Orgo, but if you do the work that's need to be done you will do good. The overall he is the best. Got A

He's pretty hard, but offers alot of extra credit. He drops the 4 lowest quizzes, and tries to take the highest grade. It's not an easy class, and he expects alot from you, but he does try to help

It's not an easy class, and he expects a lot from you, but he does try to help. He's a hard teacher, but offers a lot of extra credit.

Tests are pretty tough, and the extra credit he gives is not easy to get. He doesn't take attendance, but if you don't show up to them, you'll miss a lot. Probably the hardest orgo teacher, but he teaches the most too.

He's always willing to help, he seems intimidating but he's really trying to give you the highest grade possible. He gives 8 quizzes total and drops your four lowest grades. Although his exams can be a challenge he curves at the end. Best orgo professor at LIU highly recommend him! You'll learn a lot especially if you're a pharmacy major!

Easiest A I have ever received in my life. You should always look for this professor when you are signing up for your classes. Also, sometimes his lectures get so interesting it leaves you hungry for more, however, that is my opinion. He makes you enjoy Orgo as well as enjoy life. It sounds cliche, however it was true for me. Take his class.

At first you may think you made a mistake taking him but trust me when i tell you, he offers so much extra credit and is always looking for ways to help you get the best grade possible. It's a hard class without a doubt but if you reread the notes and do the sample quizzes and exams, you will do fine. He is always willing to help if you ask for it.

To get an A: Read orgo a month before school (spring or winter break) and get a head start. Do lots of practice problems and UNDERSTAND mechanisms/rules. DON'T try to memorize, understanding takes more time but will be more worthwhile. Read chapters before lecture so that lecture is simply review. Do practice problems on train. A is guaranteed.

Offers so many sites, sample quizzes/tests, and handouts to help. Orgo is a hard class but Prof. Schnatter offers so many opportunities to get a good grade. Explains very well. Great class if you put in the work orgo requires.

his tests are tough but he offers a lot of extra credit on all of his tests. do his practice quizzes/exams and understand how to get the answer NOT what the answer is. he curves also

He is a genius, will help you till the end as long as you don't give up. Quizzes are straight from the rxns inchapters &fair, gives you 8 youllthank him later trust me. But hiS examsare extremely&I mean extremely hard.U can get mayb 65 points on a100 point test (which is B)anything higher is impossible. His final Was crazyy, THANK GD FOR HIS CURVE

Read the textbook and use his notes to re-enforce the material. Use his practice quizzes and exams and you will do fine. 8 quizzes, 3 tests, and final. Drops 4 quizzes, which can substitute for exams. He gives lots of opportunity to pass his class bc of all the extra credit. Study hard and you will do fine. He is the best professor for orgo.

easy a for orgo 122! so much extra credit and extra tutoring one on one you cant fail

best professor ever! you will get an A is you do your work. do textbook problems for practice and see him for help and you will get that A. Hes super nice especially in orgo 122! TAKE HIM

best orgo professor in tehe school. super smart and sweet. he is willing to help you and always available in his office. he gives so much extra credit and a huge surve its impossible not to love orgo. he is the best take him!! you will be happy.

The best of the best !

half multiple choice exam and half short answer. people say hes hard but hes not b/c he teaches you only what he expects you to know and gives extra credit. his grading curve is lenient.

luv him

8 quizzes & 4 exams including the final - will drop 4 of your lowest quiz scores. Goes pretty fast so take good notes. Key to doing well is understanding the material. To do that, read the chapter before going to class and ask questions. He will try his hardest to get you to pass but only if you show that you understand what's going on.

nothing to say but that hes the best professor ever! He teaches well and always sticks around to help.

The most helpful professor I have ever had. Does not try to trick you on exams, quizzes are very similar to his exams. His lessons are very helpful but you have to put in as much practice as possible with orgo. I would go to his office hours after every class and he always stopped to help me. I went from a 40 to a A-. Thank you professor Schnatter.

I was doing really bad and failed a lot of exams and went to talk to him. He is so helpful and I ended up doing pretty well. Its not that hes hard , organic chemistry is hard but I recommend him to everyone. Best professor ever! You show him you care, hell show you he cares more. super sweet. best choice for orgo at liu!

Really sweet Professor. I would definitely take him again. He really tries his best to give everyone the best grade possible. Gives you 8 quizzes, counts 4 for the quiz grade but lets you replace tests/ midterm/ final with the other 4. You can always find him in his office for extra help. He gives old test and quizzes as samples. STUDY THOSE!

He's very dedicated and caring. Orgo is already hard and thus more studying is needed to do well in the course. But just because he teaches well doesn't mean that you can slack. Read the textbook, go to class, take good notes, study his sample tests/quizzes, watch videos, and ask for help. I don't study 24/7 and I did well; you can too.

Schnatter was an excellent teacher and always offered help when he could. Ofc this will not be a class where you can just come in hoping he teaches you EVERYTHING. You need to make the effort too and read the textbook. Reading beforehand helps A LOT. You should also practice his sample exams and tests as well. If you put effort, you will be fine

You need to do all assigned problems and must attend class to take good notes because he bases exams on notes and book combined. The exams are very straightforward and obvious. He does not try to trick you but you must know the material. A lot of extra credit available. You can go to his office before class and he will make everything crystal clear

people on here who are giving harsh ratings prob havent even opened the textbook, Schnatter's material is directly from the txtbook and it definitely helps to read it b4 or after the lecture. He gave so much extra cred on exams and quiz & 8 quizzes where only the 4 best count towards your grade. I was at a C- level but ended with an A thx to him !

Gives you multiple opportunities to pass if you show him you care. Do the hw, read the textbook cause everything he teaches is in the book, and go to class cause he drops hints on what will be on exams/quizzes. Quizzes and exams are similar to practice ones concept wise but not exactly the same. Will give you tons of extra credit if needed.

Really really nice awesome guy... gives so much extra credit it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE tp fail!! Review his sample quizzes/exams because they do repeat! And he's always available in his office or by e-mail to go over anything .... would take him again in a HEARTBEAT

Great professor! Gives a ton of extra credit, I would get loads wrong on exams and still get an A. Go to class and make sure you redo the problems he covers in lecture. They will appear on exams. It's orgo so your still gonna have to put in the work but its honestly not that bad.

He is one of my best professors. He always tried to give a 100% clear concept. He always happy to give extra time in his office to understand anything, he never feels disturbed. He is a very nice and helpful person. Thank you, Professor.

There were so many opportunities for extra credit and no tricks on exams. Everything was straightforward and exactly what was expected. You definitely need to work for it though, reviewing material and studying will get you an A.

Cheers! Easy A

Gave the option of dropping quizzes/tests. Orgo is a difficult subject so u have to pay attention and read, but he's not out to trick u. Does many office hours and you can email him with any questions. An A is definitely possible!

Organic chemistry is a hard subject, and if you are not ready to self study a lot, then avoid this course. Professor Schnatter is a fair professor. The material as a whole is very challenging but he answers questions and will definitely help you out if you go to his office hours. I got a B- in CHM 121, and I just finished CHM 122 with a perfect A.

Solid professor, lots of extra credit opportunities which is good cause the subject is hard. Sometimes assumes that you know something which wasn't that clear in the lectures but overall you can get a good grade in this class if you put in the hours and study.

A lot of back and forth with him trying to stop cheating (which is controversial but i find good). His teaching is mediocre and i often teach myself the concepts. Hes willing to help you if youre willing to learn and he has office hours daily. The course itself is hard, and if you can't take it honestly then you shouldnt be pre-professional anyway.

Professor Schnatter's CHM121 class is challenging but manageable with dedication. Attend lectures, use the textbook, and try unstuck AI for effective study prep. The grading can be curved, so stay engaged.

Extremely overrated for no reason. His class is difficult but orgo is difficult in general. Just study and you'll be fine. He won't take anything not directly given in the slides. He offers a lot of extra credit and his grading makes it easy to do well.

He was honestly a very funny guy, but orgo will always be hard. Gives plenty of extra credit, but you have to work for it. Study content right after class- there is a mini quiz at the beginning of every class. Read the textbook and practice all the questions on the syllabus. First test is the easiest, so rack those points. Ask for help when needed!
