Reviews of professor Ester Sesmero

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr Sesmero is more than a lecturer; she is an awakener, always encouraging students curiosity. She is accessible outside the lab. She is knowledgeable and passionate about what she teaches. If you want to learn organic chemistry rather than just pass the class, then go for her because after all, the real-world will test your abilities

She is a good professor. She takes time to explain the course and she also motivates her students

Professor Sesmero was a lot of help during the lab portion of chem 135. She was very hands on and helped anyone that asked. The class is hard and it covers a lot in a little time but she was very fair grading.

Forces us to spend class time watching inspirational videos and preaching about success(20mins+). Couldn't even grade half of the assignments even at the end of the semester (will never know the grades). No feedback. Treats students emotionally. Keeps taking off her safety glasses in the lab. Takes everything personally and self-centered. Worst!!!

Professor Sismero spends a great part of class time either analyzing her own personal/educational experiences or enforcing irrelevant ideas of self help upon the class. Has made a statement to the class, claiming we "aren't a class of intelligent people." Lacks time management/ efficiency skills, expects students to pass out papers.

She is able to explain complex ideas simply.

Not professional. Preaches about success for 30mins of lab time. Her teaching is very unclear and most of the time she just gives problem sets that she didn't even teach. All about self-teaching or asking other equally confusing students. Beware she easily gets angry and puts you on the spot. The reviews below from the same date are very fishy.

I had Dr. Sesmero as a lab professor for organic chemistry. She was very caring and helped me whenever I had questions. She cares a lot for the success of her students and is very inspirational. Overall she is a great professor!

Ester is the best teacher at MC by far. She was a caring teacher that was always there to help. Just show her that you care and she will take that into account.

Doesnt have any compassion towards the way certain students learn,  very arrogant and she does not like when you ask questions during lectures. Some of the comments she says to students are inappropriate. I would never take her again. She expects you to solve problems, without lecturing the material first.
