By far the best professor I have ever had at Manhattan College. He is an amazing professor and I really feel that I gained a firm grasp on the basics of Organic Chemistry after taking his class.

Comment:

He was my Chemistry teacher in the 1980s. I loved organic chemistry because of him and almost chose chemistry as a career because of him. I became a physician, instead, but still remember him fondly as one of the greatest teachers I ever had.

Easily the best professor at Manhattan College. He prepares you well and if you study you will do fine. People think they can sit through three orgo lectures a week and magically get an A in the class- that's not how it works people. You have to put in some effort too. Wasacz is an amazing guy and teacher.

Hardest class I've ever taken in my life but he is a seriously amazing teacher. So well organized and prepared, the extra problem periods are SO helpful. Plus his chemistry puns are hilarious.

Comment:

Phenomenal teacher. I was worried about taking this course because my high school science background was weak, but I earned an A in both semesters and love Organic Chemistry as a result. I even took Advanced Organic Chem because he taught it, and got an A again. Lots of work, but very well worth the effort.

He's a great teacher. I love him. Chemistry takes alot of work and he makes that clear. So as long as you do the readings, the class isn't that bad. He is the best chem teacher you could possibly have.

Excellent professor. Material covered in class can be very difficult, but Dr. Wasacz does a remarkable job presenting it in a clear and organized manner. The world would be a safer and better place if it had more wasaczs in it :)

Comment:

One of the best teachers at MC. Loves to teach and is able to explain all concepts remarkably well. Take notes on what he lectures about in addition to what he writes on the board. Some test questions are what he talks, not gives notes, about.
