Reviews of professor Jonathan Caranto

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I scraped by in orgo but this class was so much better. The first exam was demoralizing but then it gets easier. You don't need to do the homework or read the textbook. Graded quizzes (30%) aren't the easiest and he drops one exam. About 20% of the grade is participation points. Super nice guy, just do the work and you'll be okay.

Dr. C is excellent, the class is not easy, it requires a lot of studying, and he focuses heavily on the chemical aspect of biochemistry rather than the biological His readings and videos are more for understanding the concepts. Attendance is not mandatory, but it gives you extra credit on your final if you attend. Dr. C gives a lot of extra credit.

Worst professor I have ever taken. Sets up students to fail.

It has been my worst experience at UCF. The material presented is much simpler than what is expected on the exams. Exam 1 had a ~50 average in Fall 2022 when I took this class. TAs grade the exams and make a lot of mistakes. I took biochemistry with another professor and got an A.. Incredibly hard tests and quizzes. Best of luck.
