Dr. Plata is a very good professor, especially for Organic Chemistry. His lectures are very detailed and he really breaks down the information to make it easier for every student. Totally recommend!

Easiest ochem professor. He lectured and did the homework assignments during class time. You could use notes for exam and even ask your friends or him. no lockdown. Didn't have to show up because he records lectures. Didn't learn as much but got an A. Final is optional if you have an A already, which is nearly impossible not to have.

Pros He is so easy you would be dumb to fail or do bad in his class. If you go to lecture he does the hw for you.

Cons His class is too easy that you don't learn anything. I am struggling to teach myself organic chemistry on my own and youtube because I need it for the DAT. If I could take the class again I would take someone else.

Chem II, O Chem I and II are difficult but Dr. Plata explained everything in detail so it was easier to understand. Go to class, review recordings, study reviews, do the hw, attend study sessions and you'll be OK. You will love the way he teaches. Dr. Plata is AMAZING. I added a minor in Biochemistry because of him. UTRGV is lucky to have him.
