Reviews of professor Robert DiStasio

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
CHEM 2080 was a very difficult class for me. I didn't love how his questions were worded - left me very annoyed when I could solve something but simply didnt understand what the question wanted. But the DiStasio is a great person - ever-willing to help, stay extra time, etc. His prelims are TOUGH but the curves usually compensated. Best of luck!

Didn't like it. Lecture material versus test material didn't match too well.

Distasio is THE MAN! His exams come directly from lecture and his explanations are extremely clear. Go to class, do practice problems, and attend sections and you're good!

DiStasio was helpful in making a hard class more fair; he let students have one-on-one meetings with him and even gave me points back for two of my exams, he listens to student feedback and is easy to talk to; the class itself is difficult but I felt a lot more comfortable having him as a professor!

Professor DiStasio makes the content interesting and funny, so I'd recommend attending lecture. Material is straight from the textbook. Discussion sections weren't helpful, but their problems were good practice. Prelims were hard but well-curved; good preparation with the textbook, practice problems, and practice prelims will help you succeed.
