Reviews of professor Patricia Calvo

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is a very challenging professor, but she isn't impossible. Orgo is a hard subject, and she explains things very well, but she does speak incredibly fast during lectures at times. She definitely comes off as intimidating but at the end of the day I can tell she wants her students to succeed. You need to WORKKK for an A, but it's not impossible.

She teaches orgo so well and really prepares you for the ACS. Her lectures are heavy and w lots of detail but she makes sure you understand the material. She also provides lots of extra credit for each test, makes practise exams that are really similar to the real one, and has mastering hmw. She wants her students to do well and always helps out.

Hands down worst chem professor Ive had. Would not take again especially if youre trying to save your GPA. Grades too harshly and has no regard for student care.

Dr. Calvo makes Organic Chemistry a subject we can take on and succeed. She may seem intimidating at first, but she's very nice. She explains everything so well and gives lots of extra credit. Just make sure to do LOTS of practice problems outside of lecture and the regular homework she gives. She is also very accessible in office hours!

her notes were okay, she could have put more examples. there was alot pearson assignments and they wouldnt tell you the correct answer after all the guessing attempts so you would just not know what you wrong. during office hours shes rude and seems like she wants you to leave and very uninviting. labs were really stressful and shes was always mad

Dr. Calvo is the perfect professor for people who really want to learn orgo. It's not easy, but if you work hard, you can do very well in this class. She is very helpful during office hours and will answer all of your questions. She also offers extra credit on the homework and tests. The class just requires a lot of practice and trying your best.

She is definitely one of the better Orgo Professors. Orgo is hard but she makes it bearable
