Reviews of professor Jonathan Caranto

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Biochem isn't an easy course. It's 4000 level ! Caranto allowed 1 cheat sheet on exams and students still did poorly, so it's not the professor's fault. YOU STILL NEED TO STUDY ! If you do not know how to do the problems, it's not going to magically come to you on an exam. I 9/10 recommend Caranto. He's pretty chill and accessible. gives extra cred

This class is so disorganized and it seems like Dr C really lacked empathy this semester. His SI isnt the best and his TA's have no idea what's going on. Taking med biochem is your best bet if youre looking for an easier A, otherwise get ready to put all your time into this one class.

Only take this professor if it's your only option! From the textbook being completely useless, to random questions being asked on exams, this class was harder than it had to be. Professor even allowed us to drop the final exam as he knew it was about to drop letter grades. The chemistry department at UCF sucks, and glad that I'm graduating.

He was awesome. Gives you resources to be successful in class. Grades are not solely test dependent which is really nice. Flip classroom is a little weird, but I feel helpful for learning biochemistry. Super accessible outside of class and even gives extra credit opportunity based on class attendance. Take him!

Professor Caranto is an alright professor, but does not teach too well. I have to rely on using homework quizzes to study for the exams, and even that is not enough. The multiple choice on his exams is sometimes random, where it's easy to fail that part of that section. Strongly advised taking this professor do to his teaching methods.

Go to his office hours! He will go over anything that you do not understand and answer any questions. Super nice guy. Hard exams. MC + Free response on exams but if you understand all the material, you should be fine. Use all the resources he gives you. A lot of people say not to do the HW but it's good practice. Thanks Dr. C for your help!

Seems like Dr. C had fairer classes in previous semesters until administration told him to make the class harder. Tests (50%) are difficult but you get a cheat sheet. Do good on exam 1 b/c the exams get harder. Has his incompetent ULA's grade exams and they mark correct answers wrong often, but he is pretty nice with giving the points back.

I have no idea what happened toward the end of the semester, but Professor Caranto had messed up the grading system. Every time an assignment was graded, even if it was graded as 100%, my grade kept dropping no matter what. I went from 93% to 89%, and he even refused to bump up my grade, stating that he only does it when it's 89.96%.DONOTTAKEHIM.
