Reviews of professor Stanley Shapiro

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr Shapiro is a very entertaining lecturer. It is rare to have a chemistry teacher that doesn't put you to sleep every class. I had a lot of fun taking chemistry with him, he re-sparked my love for chemistry and almost made me change my major.

He's a great professor, knows his material by heart. He doesn't give any homework or anything but definitely makes you work for a good grade. Read the chapter before going to class and you will be on top of stuff. His sample exams are a huge help in the real exam. I definitely recommend taking him. He's also very funny.

Before taking the test he would give out test review which is really helpful.

Best chem professor ever, I've taken chem twice in college and dropped both times. This professor explains things so simply and only gives you the info you need to know, so no sifting through endless info to study. Gives reviews before each exam, sometimes multiples and some of the questions are on the exam. Amazing for lab, open book final & phone

His notes on the board are very organized and extremely helpful for the exams. You're going to get a good grade with this professor if you're not skipping the class and paying attention/taking notes. Definitely above average professor for City Tech. Your grade is just 3 exams and a final. He often adds "bonus" points to your exam scores.

the review sheet is helpful but I didn't learn much in lecture have to figure out everything by yourself. Also he has nothing in blackboard so you must need the textbook.

If I hadn't messed up on the third exam I would've had an A, however this professor is AMAZING! very straightforward, 4 lecture exams no extra cred or curve, counts our best 13 labs, take home lab final. YOU have to WORK for your grade, pay attention, show up, attend office hours and you'll pass! take him for lec+lab, very funny & caring

He talks more about his life than chemistry. Doesn't post slides on blackboard because he doesn't use blackboard. Lab was extremely easy. However the lecture was pretty hard due to complex concepts. Gives out reviews before the test which kinda help.

Hilarious prof. Makes Chem interesting. PPT, lecture notes, practice exams, recorded office hours on BB. Graded on 4 exams. Cumulative final. Multiple choice + short answer. NO partial credit, curve, extra credit, dropped exams or hw. If you're new to Chem, you have to work hard. If you takenChem, you will know this class could be made much harder.
