Reviews of professor Charlie D'Souza

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Taking this class after being out of school for years was daunting. Prof. D has a way of making this class a lot less intimidating then what many anticipate. He is a very devoted professor & makes himself available to his students. My general advice if you are taking this class with him is to ask as many questions as needed & practice the material.

Had Professor D'Souza, he was wonderful!  He is very accommodating, caring, and takes the time to answer any questions.  The course requires a lot of time and dedication, but he is very good at elucidating the difficult nature of organic chemistry.  I regret not taking CHM204 with him this past semester for health reasons, will definitely miss him!

Awful teacher. Shows up 20 minutes late to class every day, doesn't know what lab or parts of labs the students are doing, yet expects them to have it pre-written. Will have 100 slide notes, but will put questions not on the main concepts, but from a single slide, on quizes and exams. complete failure of a teacher

You must do the work. If you think that you can get through Organic Chemistry without studying just like every other class you have taken YOU ARE WRONG. You must attend class, must do practice problems, and must ask questions. He doesn't require them but they are crucial to a good grade.

doesn't know the answers to his own slides, provides conflicting information in class compared to what is in the supplementary textbook he recommends, late to class every day if you're a serious student looking for a quality education in chemistry, do NOT take organic chem at ACC. He's the only professor and doesn't try to prepare his students.

I had a fantastic professor, and I'm considering taking him again. I believe I already rated him on his other profile on RateMyProfessor, but I accidentally wrote that I received a B+ I appreciated that his lectures were online because it's a flipped classroom. This allowed me to review everything at home on my own. Overall, I highly recommend him!
