Reviews of professor Ivan Rivera-Torres

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Rivera is a passionate professor that cares about his students. He does practice problems in class and gives tons of practice problems for homework. I found this very helpful! He will stay after class and go over any questions you have and during his office hours. He is a very fair grader! You definitely need the book for this class.

Spends too much time on lectures not going over how to exactly do the material expected. Had to teach myself. Does not up date grades & leaves you to calculate it with a formula provided on syllabus. Which is extremely annoying & not accurate. Very good at communications & help if needed, but he's not too helpful in class.

I took Chem 108 with Prof. Rivera-Torres and he was a great teacher. He made sure to greet every one of us individually when we entered the Zoom meeting and said goodbye to everyone when he left. It was obvious he cared about each of our successes and not to mention he taught the labs really well. I found his class easy to pass, and you will too.

Terrible teacher. Terrible accent, hard to understand. Two hour boring class. He did not know what he was talking about most of the time and the class would have to tell him what was going on. He was not up for discussion about questions about tests. He incorrectly graded my test a few times. Highly would not recommend this teacher.
