Comment:

If you show up to class and understand the material, make sure to study for his tests, otherwise you will not pass. His tests are not too hard, but make sure you study, otherwise you will not understand anything. I also recommend doing work outside of class that he gives you for extra understanding. He is also very helpful outside of class.

I have taken Patrick for Chem1221 and its lab. I wish I have taken Chem 1 with him! Take his class without hesitation, he would make you LOVE chemistry. His teaching style is amazing and he provides lots of work sheets that makes understanding the material even easier. Attendance is not mandatory but his explanation is what makes you get good grade

I have taken Patrick for CHE1111 and CHE1221 and I would take him again in a heartbeat. His teaching style is extremely helpful to students and he really seems to care about helping people succeed. He provides numerous work sheets that give a very clear example of the material that will be on the test. Patrick made chemistry my new favorite class!

Comment:

I took Chem 1111 online with Dr. Greco. It was mostly a self-directed course, straight from the online supplementary materials of the textbook. He provided ungraded practice sheets for each chapter, which he wrote and developed from the tests. If you're a fairly independent student, his online section is perfect for you.

Comment:

Dr. Greco was a phenomenal instructor. His expectations are high and he works you, but it pays off in the end. His demonstrates are most likely on the many quizzes you will have. Expect honework. Pay attention. There's a lot of material to cover. People tend to complain but its probably the ones who don't put forth the wholehearted effort.

Comment:

He makes students respond to questions in class using little whiteboards. You can tell he knows the material very well but hes ok at teaching the material. He reads directly from Powerpoint slides during his lectures. (The slides are also posted online) The demonstrations he does in class are (approx. 50% of the time) on the test.

Comment:

I took Dr. Greco for my Gen Chem Lab, and was very pleased. The labs are atrocious due to the confusing lab manual and assumption that you have knowledge that you don't learn until Gen Chem II, but Dr. Greco makes sure you understand what you need to know for each lab. He was very helpful and save my grade.

Comment:

Dr. Greco was awesome! He breaks down the material to simpler terms. Just do the work he gives you and pay attention in lecture. He gives extra credit! He keeps you interested the whole class with his teaching style. If I needed another chem class, I would definitely take it with him!

Comment:

Greco was a decent person, I guess, but was not what I expected at all. I somehow passed with a B, but I was concerned about my grade the entire semester. The online homework and online extra credit help. For our review for the final, he kept saying "we didn't really go over this but..." so that was terrifying. I probably wouldn't take him again.

Comment:

He has a horrible attitude towards students who are not doing so well. He teaches briefly for two days and then you have your test! The tests would be easier if their was more lecture time teaching the material for each test! Does not give enough time on the tests either, only 15-20 mins! If your not good at math, this class will be hard!

Comment:

Loved Greco as a teacher. Hadn't taken chemistry since high school and it was fun. He uses dry erase boards to see how well people are understanding the concepts and that really helped me. Great lectures, awesome instructor. Tests were fair. Took him from Chem 1211 and 1221. Not great at chem? Take him, you'll get it.

Comment:

Dr Greco is not the easiest instructor, he has high expectations of his students. However, this is an asset to those who need to continue on to higher level courses. He stresses chemical 'literacy' and I feel more prepared to move on than if I eked by with someone 'easier'. He is always willing to go out of his way to help.

Probably one of my favorite teachers I've ever taken. Hilarious, extremely intelligent, and more than willing to help you if you asked. Labs were never drawn out or long, and he explained them really well before we did them. I highly recommend taking him for lab!

Comment:

I had Professor Greco for the lab that went along with my chemistry course. All of our pre-lab and post-lab assignments can be accessed and completed online, so even if you miss the actual lab course every once in a while, you still can read over your lab book and receive credit for completing the other two parts online. Very helpful to students.

Comment:

One of the best Professors I have ever had. He cares about his students and it shows. Has a way of making something confusing interesting and helps you to actually understand the concept. Fair and prepares students for things such as the teas test because he knows you need to actually learn to be successful . One of the best at SCC!

Comment:

I really liked this teacher! Chemistry is not necessarily an easy class but he teaches very well. He gives you a lot to practice. I recommend listening to his power points. His tests are based off of master activity sheets he gives you. Very knowledgeable. A lot of points offered, very willing to help if needed. No big projects. I took online, easy

Comment:

I just took my first exam in this class & although I found it to be difficult, he seems fair. He is very available to help if you ask & he takes extremely hard material and has a way of simplifying it to beginner terms. I highly recommend his class! You can tell he truly cares about teaching and wants to help you do well! Study hard! 10+hrs per/wk!
