Reviews of professor Sreekar Marpu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took this course last summer and it was a breeze. Make sure to read the book and do the practice problems! Dr. Marpu offers a ton of extra credit! I was very overwhelmed before taking it since I was not very good at gen chem, but he provided all the resources needed to succeed in the course. I would definitely take him again if I could!

I regret taking ochem 1 with this professor. The quality was awful. The video lectures were poorly structured and not concise, often amounting to over 4-7 hours of footage to sift through every week. The TA's did not respond to any of my emails. Many of the exam and homework problems were improperly formatted and resulted in excessive confusion.

Dr. Marpu does a great job explaining the concepts step by step for each lab so everything is clear. He even goes through the pre/post lab questions most lectures. He also breaks everything down in helpful documents so that you don't have to purchase a text book. Attendance is mandatory, so just go to lecture. If you do, it's easy to pass.

I took the lab as half online and half in person, and it wasn't bad. I never had contact with the professor, but my TA was great. One lab due a week, alternating from online lab and in person lab, and 3 quizzes.

professor marpu Lab is usually taught by TAs. Although he did design a very good lab system, in which the pre lab served as your own instruction in the lab. Experience may vary depending on TA. There are a lot of resources to make a lab report that marpu gives. However once you make a few, the class gets pretty easy. Labs are in person but goodflex

I love him so much, organic chem isn't supposed to be easy but he made it easy if you go to his office hours, he explain in extreme details and will not stop until you understand the topic. Will take him again if I had too, I would love to have a professor like him all semester.
