Reviews of professor Ivan Rivera-Torres

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He never updates your grade so you don't know how you're doing throughout the semester. There were many times where I had to correct HIM on what he was he was teaching. I don't like feeling like I'm smarter than my prof. or more organized. The quizzes and homework had things that were never mentioned in class. Didn't seem prepared to teach a class.

He's nice, but confusing. Exam content seems random (hard to study for), and also very short (easy to get a low grade). Online quizzes are due at diff. times/days, which can be easy to forget and you'll lose points fast. I mostly got through this course because I love/understand chem, but if it's not easy to you, I don't recommend this prof.

Took him for Biochem 1 at Rutgers. He's a really nice man and he cares a lot for his students. Definitely attend the lectures and take a few hours each week to study. He gives 4 partial exams and 1 final exam and they are heavily weighted. My best advice is to watch youtube videos, study and attend his office hourse for any extra questions.

He is by far one of my favorite professors that I had so far, He teaches the class in a way that everyone can understand... He truly enjoys teaching the class and you can tell every time within class... He is truly an amazing teacher and I recommend to take his class

Incompetent beyond belief, I am never too harsh when reviewing someone but this as by far the worst of the worst. I feel bad even saying that but i wish someone had told me.

Prof. Rivera goes on the longest tangents, and its annoying. Gives you tests/homework on stuff you don't learn in class. Very strong accent and speaks very low so it is hard to understand what he is saying. Test HEAVY, do not take this class if you don't have extra time to teach yourself how to do the work. If you want to pass, take another prof.

This class is hard if you're not a science major. If you struggle with math, don't take this class. I just wanted to do the lab. However, Prof. Rivera is great. He will help you if you need, just go see him. It made the difference for me. He does go on tangents sometimes and his accent is a little challenging, but manageable. He's good, but caution

I took chemistry 108 along with the lab for a six week summer session so I knew it was going to be a lot. There was lab reports due everyday and a lecture exam every week but thats because the class was so short. Professor Torres was always helpful in class. He graded the work really easy. How ever he can be a little confusing, overall a good prof
