Comment:
The greatest professor to ever grace the campus of Gannon. Sadly he retired in 2015 but truthfully just one of the greatest people you will ever meet. A person who enters your life and wants you to succeed. I look back on my time with Dr. Pelczar and just thank him for the impact he had on my life. Hats off to you Dr. Pelczar.

Probably the best teacher I have ever had in my life so far. I was terrified going to O Chem 1 but Dr. Pelczar is the man! Sadly, he is finally retiring but it was a blessing to have him as a professor! His catch phrases, jokes and comments are legendary and everybody who every had him remembers them. Also, the nicest guy I've ever met.

Comment:
He's just awesome. Literally awesome. He will get you to learn the material in the best way. Knows what he's doing from experience. He is also extremely nice. Probably one of the best professors I've had here at Gannon. He gives daily quizzes, but they are worth like 1.5 pts and mainly help you to make the exam easier. Def recommend to all.

A great great man and professor. I found his lectures to be very interesting. His chemistry jokes are a legend too. The easiness of the course is up to you. Follow his advice and study everyday, you'll succeed. Don't and you will struggle.

Comment:
Frank Pelczar is the man, if not a demi-god. He is VERY wise about organic. Took him for Organic I,II,III. Organic I is a pain due to daily quizzes,II b/c of the amount of info,III b/c its at 8am. Quizzes/tests are easy,right from notes and dont change throughout the courses, but if you cant do synthesis or memorize reactions your screwed.

Very good teacher. He is probably the best teacher in the chem department and is very friendly and kind. Also he is entertaining in class. Ochem 1 may seem easy, but ochem 2 will be hard. STUDY and keep up with Notecards!

For O Chem 1, it's EASY as PIE. However, O Chem 2 has the ablity to tear you a new one. So remember you have to work MUCH harder for an A in O Chem 2. Heed my advice!

Pelczar is the man. Period. He tells you exactly what you have to know for exams and gives you handouts of the notes everyday in class. The quizzes for O chem 1 everyday are sometimes a pain but really help in the end. Plus he is an excellent teacher and knows his stuff.

Probably the most efficient prof you'll ever see in any class. His notes are outdated based on the current literature and the Morrison & Boyd book is clearly NOT a good one. He's still the man though. An absolute wizard
