Reviews of professor Nivaldo Tro

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Cares for his students and wants them to genuinely learn. Lots of homework assignments, but most of them only have 1-2 questions. Uses examples and analogies that help students learn better. Understands that if not a majority of students get a question right on the test, it is because he didn't teach it well, so he gives back pts.

Tro is the reason I decided to beyond gen chem and become a chemistry major. He teaches extraordinarily well and makes you interested in the subject matter by showing real world examples of everything we learned. He doesn't take role, but a small part of your grade comes from clicker questions you do in class; that being said, the lectures are key!

Prof. Tro is the epitome of a 5/5 professor. Really nice guy and knows his stuff when it comes to chemistry. Very clear lectures and a great class setup. Chemistry is hard but if you work hard he will reward you for it. If there's an opening for his class, sign up ASAP!

Professor Tro is amazing. So passionate about chemistry and teaching it well, he truly wants the best for his students and it shows. Chem is obviously not easy but he makes learning it enjoyable. SBCC is so lucky to have such an accomplished and brilliant professor!

Professor Tro is a rockstar! Took both his 155 & 156 classes and am still amazed at how passionate he is and how well he prepared the class. HW is done online through Pearson, which has access to his E book too. The online subscription is good for a year so i recommend taking 155 in the fall and 156 in the spring because you only have to pay once.

Very great lecturer who truly cares about you learning chemistry. He moves pretty fast but if you have questions he will always take the time to answer them. Absolutely loved this class!
