Reviews of professor Francesca Gruppi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very nice and helpful. I was extremely worried about taking Organic Chem since I struggled so much in Gen Chem but she truly made it so easy to understand. Just make sure to write down any examples she uses because the ones on the test are generally very similar if not the same. Lots of online homework but still good practice. Would take again

Professor Gruppi is such an impactful professor. I did not pass Organic Chemistry I the first time at no fault to her. I simply needed to learn how to study for this class. Her labs follow the lecture to help make the course "click". Ask questions, study the quizzes, and work the problems. Straightforward exams/quizzes plus drops and extra credit.

Very exam heavy, but in turn this means very little homework. Maybe 8-10 hours total this semester doing homework. She grades very hard, especially on lab reports. She is pretty disorganized in terms of grading and D2L. Her lectures are good, and she is very open to questions and re explaining. Tests are generally fair but difficult.

Francesca is such a gem she really cares about her students. She is very forgiving and will do anything in her power to help you understand the material HOWEVER she does expect the students to do their part like show up to class, do the assignments & turn them in. She is funny and will joke around when appropriate. Is is very receptive to feedback
