Reviews of professor Steven Pellizzeri

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is a nice enough guy. Lectures are pretty boring and hard to pay attention. Half off what he teaches is not on the exam and you have to spend a lot of time outside of class teaching yourself so that you can just get a decent grade on the exam. I would recommend finding a different professor for ch1010.

He is overall a good teacher and he is passionate about what he does. Sometimes in class he gets confused about what he is saying, but usually corrects himself. He assigns a few quizzes a week that you can complete at home or with classmates so really it should be free 100. I also always felt that he did a good job preparing us for the common exams

Hes not a bad pick for a chem professor. Homework and quizzes are online which is nice. He does move somewhat fast! Time studying outside of class is definitely needed to expand on what he says in class. I spent a lot of time on Kahn academy! I am taking him again for 1020 just because I am familiar with his style.

Not the best professor. Extremely lecture heavy as he reads off slides, barely explaining anything and going too fast. Homework is in bulk and due before each exam. Online quizzes often contain topics not yet covered in lecture. Only good point is he posts helpful review for the exams.

Teaches a lot in class but you're better off teaching yourself because most things he teaches he contradicts himself on and has to go lookup to see if hes actually teaching the right thing. Compared to other chem classes they are learning completely different things. Don't recommend if you wanna pass chemistry. Doesn't prepare you for exams.

He may be a smart man, but from listening to him teach says something else. He reads directly from the power points, yet stumbles over words. He says the wrong words when speaking. Attendance is "mandatory" but they are qr codes that a friend could send to you. Do your homework and the tests will be fine. Any questions? He'll give you the answer.

You can tell that it is his first year of teaching. He just reads off of the slides and when asked to explain sometimes gets mixed up with his own material. He does assign more than enough practice, but you will have to read the textbook in order to understand. He uses slack for attendance so it is easy to go in, get the answer, and leave.

Dr. Pellizzeri is a very nice man, however is not able to teach what is needed to the students. He reads straight from powerpoints and second-guesses the accuracy of those powerpoints quite often. He has online quizzes that can be taken outside of class and homework is all due the day of the exam.
