Reviews of professor Amartya Chakrabarti

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Takes his time to grade labs and has an accent but is a really good teacher. As long as you do the practice exam you will pass his exams. Exam 1 & 2 are the hardest so make sure you do well in the first 2 exams. 3 exams in the course and drops 1. Be respectful during lectures and labs and he'll have no problem with you.

He will take his time to grade your labs, but he is a very fun and chill professor. He is very good at explaining stuff and makes sure everyone gets the material, he encourages discussions and asking questions. If you have a problem, he can explain it to you as many times as you need. His exams get you ready for the finals well.

Dr. Chakrabarti is one of my favorite professors at Harper. He is a very respectful, caring, and funny person. He does his best to help you succeed with his lectures and materials. His grading is fair, and he provides worksheets before exams, which are very helpful as a reference to study. I highly recommend you take this course from him!

Quick update on this professor, for those wanting to take him, don't hesitate! He is very clear on every topic and provides homework on MyMasteringLab which does help a lot for the quizzes. His tests aren't that difficult if you practice/review the Sample Exams he gives out. But overall he is by far one of my favorite professors at Harper College

Really a good guy. Chemistry isn't the strongest of subjects for me, but he was around for help. Sometimes I felt like there would be times when he could've explained things a tad clearer, but he made the atmosphere friendly enough where you felt ok to ask questions (or, if like me, you can wait and approach him after class). Very friendly.

He isnt the most accessable and there is no specific timeline for the class, things are just randomly posted. I felt I did a lot of self teaching and relied on youtube or the textbook. Hes a nice guy and its a managable course but if you need extra support this might not be the best for you. I would take again but it wouldnt be my first choice.

Attend his discussion hours and you will be good. You do need to give at least 2 hours a day in this course. Also, he is an easy grader.

I haven't taken a chemistry class in years, nor have I been a big fan of chemistry, but Dr. Chakrabarti made the learning process for all these concepts very approachable. He's a very chill professor and will try his hardest to give you the best grade possible that you deserve. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone taking CHM121.

Given that I've had chem in the past, this class was pretty easy. My thoughts:

-You SHOULD attend lecture because he goes over everything you need to know for tests and quizzes, and ask questions if you need, otherwise, he moves on.

-I used the book once or twice if I needed to go over a topic.

-Don't put off the homework (there's a lot!)
