Comment:
Dr. Principe is the most knowledgeable, enthusiastic, brilliant professor I've had at Hopkins. He's taught this class for decades, including a student who later wrote an orgo textbook (Klein, highly recommend it). Although the final grade consists entirely of exams, he prepares students well for them and the questions are always fair.

Fantastic professor. I had him for his scientific revolution class. Lectures are engaging, clear, and concise, and the section really helps solidify the material. If you go to lectures and do the readings the tests and papers are a breeze. Fantastic professor

Comment:
I took this class not got Organic Chemistry, but for Scientific Revolution. Principe was a great professor, honestly. His lectures were always interesting and well organized and he was a funny guy, overall. Sections were helpful, and they always answered any questions from class. The papers and tests were very reasonable. Lectures were a must.

What can I say? He's clear, concise, funny, kind, brilliant, and, above all, a kind person. He will explain in thorough detail each and every concept you are to know for the exams--so thorough, in fact, that the textbook becomes a mere reference. He is, and will likely remain, my favorite professor at Hopkins. 10/10.

Principe is a terrific professor. You should take organic chemistry II just to have him as a professor.

Dr. Principe is one of the best professors I've had at Hopkins. His lectures are crystal clear, and his tests extremely fair. He never tests you on anything he didn't mention in class, so make sure that you take notes so that you don't study more than you have to.

Comment:
He explains every concept with perfect clarity. Don't bother with the book except to do recommended problems as it's a waste of time. Make sure you go to class every day and take very clear notes. Exams are sometimes unfair and fail to test the student properly, but if you take good notes, and know everything he's taught you you'll do fine.

Amazing teacher. He gives funny antidotes throughout his lecture that help you remember what was taught. His tests mimic his notes and it is very important to go to his lecture. The best professor I have ever had!

Orgo. He is a good lecturer, but his tests are ridiculously hard. You must to completely understand every concept he teaches you and memorize all reagents and mechanisms. I will repeat so you don't forget. You should attempt to completely understand every concept he teaches you. Also put every effort to memorize all reagents and mechanisms.

He is very proficient at teaching. He's the type of professor who is very informative and explicit in making you understand the concepts. I can certainly guarantee that you'll never be able to fall asleep if you actually stay focus in his lectures.

One of the best professors I've seen at Hopkins so far. Crystal clear in explaining the concepts and doing examples and extremely good handwriting. He loves orgo and will actually make you love it too. Exams are fair but you have to know how to apply the concepts. Curves generously. If you're in his class you're lucky.

Lectures very easy to understand, extremely clear handwriting and voice, and by far the best at explaining concepts. Makes even the boring topics quite interesting, and exams are very fair and sometimes even fun (believe it or not).

An absolutely incredible professor. He makes difficult concepts crystal clear, writes extremely fair tests, and inserts his incredible sense of humor into every lecture. There's no need to read the book, his lectures make a lot more sense and are incredibly well-organized and interesting.

I had Principe for Organic Chemistry 2, a 9am class. If it wasn't for Principe, I would have never gotten up so early for class. He's brilliant, funny, and is able to make event the most mundain subjects interesting.
