Reviews of professor Christopher Lugo

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Had him online in fall 2020. Nice guy. Helps u get the best grade possible but not the best at explaining things and his tests are much harder than what we learned in class. Records his lectures so thats a plus.

Dr. Lugo is a GREAT chemistry professor. I took him during spring 2020, and even with the online transition he was still very helpful. He is very straightforward. His exams were like any typical chemistry exam (difficult), but if you study the study guides, powerpoint slides, and past quizzes you should be fine. For his final, review past exams!

Gave us the lecture slides on Canvas before lecture. WRITE OUT/REVIEW THEM BEFOREHAND. Only reason I got an A. Go to office hours for clarification. Takes some time to get used to him and Ochem but once you do, you'll be good. May seem stoic but not a bad guy. Gave us exams from the last semester to study from. Ochem is hard, remember that.

Dr. Lugo is an excellent professor who makes complex topics clear. He doesn't use a textbook, but the lab manual is essential. Using an iPad with Notability or GoodNotes to annotate his materials is helpful. Homework is less useful; focus on practice exams. He values showing work, provides feedback, and offers ample office hours. Highly recommend!

A pretty good professor overall. I little disorganized when it comes to canvas. Good leniency. Provides lots of helpful (optional) practice problems. Chemistry is never easy, but Dr. Lugo made it easier. There are little things he could do better, but I highly recommend him for chemistry.

Prof. Lugo is willing to help his students. Sometimes he would stay after lecture and answer questions about hw or quizzes. My advice is to study study study. Review past quizzes because they may appear on the exams. The only thing I didn't like was the homework sometimes didn't match up with what was taught in class.

Grading is black and white, you lose points for any errors in your work. You will like his class if you're a self learner, you will dislike his class if you tend to need more guidance. Not a very social teacher, if you're an average student I recommend just sticking it out and hoping you pass at the end. The class gets harder and compounds

Dr. Lugo is a good professor overall, and has good office hours. Organic Chemistry is a course that can become very confusing very fast. Be diligent. Ask questions, read the powerpoints, take notes on the powerpoints, and learn and practice as many mechanisms as possible from the START of this class because it never gets easier as it progresses.
