Reviews of professor Gregory Suryn

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Chem will be hard no matter who you take, but Suryn will give you the best chance for success. He posts lecture notes before class, so note taking isn't crazy. He explains concepts well and is easily accessible outside of class. He's also the kindest cinnamon roll of a person you'll ever meet. (Also, the textbook is FREE!!!)

THE EXAM IS TOUGH AND THE HOMEWORK IS TOUGHLY GRADED! PLEASE TAKE JAMESON INSTEAD.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
In my Chem 107 class the lectures were mostly power points with less writing on the actual board. Lots of theory and a little less example based. Can over explain things, the homeworks are all online on OWL just like the rest of the department does. Good review sessions before tests. Very nice, average difficulty compared to other Chem proff. 7/10

Professor Suryn's passion for teaching is manifested in his efforts to make sure his student succeed. He is incredibly kind and hardworking, and makes a strong effort to have open office hours. Often, before tests, he takes time on the weekend to have a review session. The chem department is lucky to have him, and he made organic interesting n fun!

Harsh grader!

Suryn made organic chemistry a fantastic experience! Class was a flipped style, so you watch lectures for HW and do practice in class, which helps to understand the concepts better! Suryn was very nice, kind, and funny at times with his jokes, and was always accessible outside of the class. Definitely recommend!

Don't take him

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Suryn cares a lot about the well-being of his students and how they are performing in his course. The course is taught in a "flipped" manner where you have lecture videos for homework and in-class time to work out problems in groups. Although there is some time commitment (in terms of lab and discussion), it's great for one new to Chem.

Prof Suryn is awesome. Always in his office (every time I went unannounced he was there). Very willing to help, and he'll even hold review sessions on weekends if that's what works for everyone's schedule. 110% recommend him for any class.

Flipped lecture style is nice because you learn at your own pace and then practice in class. Suryn truly cares about his students' success and is very active during class time to answer questions. Very accommodating if you have conflicts and need help. Take Suryn if you learn best with a lot of practice problems.

He is awesome! Best STEM professor Ever. His ability to break things down and make them accessible is amazing!
