Comment:

He is a decent professor. He is smart, but you can easily upset him. He has a short fuse and usually just leaves the class. Teaches on only basic stuff, I got an A but feel like i learned nothing. It showed that he doesn't want to teach anymore, that makes it hard to go to class. Just do the owls and he curves greatly at the end, his final is hard.

Comment:

I love Professor Gracki! He makes chemistry very easy to understand, especially if you remember some stuff from high school. He also is a very nice person in general, and genuinely cares about your well being (and understanding of the class). He doesn't take attendance, which is great if you've already had chem. Take his class!

Comment:

This subject can be really boring and sometimes he makes it more boring but he is the warmest hearted person ever. He really knows his chemistry and has a ton of stories to go along with things, even if they don't relate. It's an easy A if you've had a good chem background because he explains it well if you have a basis to fall back on. Study alot.

I love, love, love Professor Gracki! He is the most hilarious, lovely person around! Seriously, his lectures are fun because he talks about random funny things and never ceased to amaze me. Ever so willing to help and go the extra mile for his students. You can also talk to him about ANYTHING.

Awesome Awesome Awesome prof. You dont have to go to every class as long as you get the notes from somebody else, and if you miss a quiz he will let you make it up. He is a real sweetheart, and he goes off on random things sometimes but it makes you laugh, and he loves to make you laugh. Take him if you take anybody, he is GREAT

Comment:

Professor Gracki is by far the best professor I have ever had. He's very down to earth and understanding. On days I had to miss class for quizzes and exams, he was always willing to let me make them up. No required homework outside of class (except for OWLs). Gives you some points if you find a way to entertain him on exams. Take him for sure!

Comment:

If you're new to Chemistry, it can be extremely challenging. Dr. Gracki helped me to work through my frustrations with the subject, and helped me to overcome my fear of chemistry. He is wonderful, charming, funny, and respectful to students. He is the best prof I have ever had, and wish he taught Organic, to take the terror out of that as well.

Great person and great prof! If you've had any chem in the past (high school), you'll do fine. Attending lectures is not neccessary if you know chem real well, but lectures are entertaining because Gracki makes lectures fun. If you go on in chem, he gives you hints about organic. Recommended.
