Reviews of professor Patricia Calvo

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Calvo organizes lectures very well. Her tests can be challenging but she's good at explaining the content. Can seem intimidating at first but she cares and will offer extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. Best Orgo Professor at NSU!

She is an amazing 10 out of 10 professor. TAKE HER FOR ORGO! She is the one to go to. My only problem is that she displayed our grades accidentally and I'm scared she might do it again. I don't need my peers to see my grades. lol. But yeah no complaints besides that one.

Dr. Calvo is the way to go for Organic Chemistry. It is not easy, but she teaches VERY well and prepares her students properly for the ACS. Gives a decent amount of extra credit. Accessible outside of class, such as in office hours. She can be intimidating in office hours, but she does her duty in answering questions.

Dr Calvo was an amazing Gen Chem 2 professor. She explains everything very well but since her passion is for orgo she tends lean to it more. She can be passive aggressive so if you need that connection with a teacher she may not be the best option. Gives extra credit tests are fair just study and you will do perfectly fine.

Dr Calvo is a great professor who wants all of her students to succeed. A lot of students don't want to spend time on orgo, but if you r willing to study/ do practice, this class will be easy. She is very helpful in office hours. Tests are just lecture based and she gives bits of extra credit. She cold calls so study! Buy the review books for ACS

I made an account just to rave about Dr. Calvo. She's one of the best professors at Nova. Her teaching style is amazing, she gives out tons of extra credit, and there's always bonuses for each test. You'll have to work hard for a good Orgo grade, but she'll help you no matter what. Plus, once you get to know her, she's a really funny person :)

Orgo is a difficult class in itself, so be prepared. You need to begin studying for her tests far in advance. Dr. Calvo is a great professor and I recommend her for Orgo 1 because she will give you the best foundation for Orgo 2. Mastering homeworks can. be challenging, but take those and the lab as your grade boosters. You just have to make time!

Dr Calvo is an average professor, who grades fairly. She has extra credit assignments and weekly quizzes, of which she drops the lowest 2 which is nice. However, she does not seem to be too student friendly. If you do plan on going to medical school someday, I definitely do not recommend.
