CollegeShe is a difficult professor, and mostly lives up to her reputation. However as long as you do every single one of the practice problems assigned, you should be fine. She's definitely not the best at explaining some topics, but all the questions on her test are taken from practice problems she's assigned, so not too bad.
such a great personality and a great teacher, but AWFUL EXAMS. you basically have to memorize every single question you've seen and she has assigned order to do well. average is a C on all exams and final exam had no questions like the ones we practiced, in which i failed. be prepared to spend countless hours to get nothing out of it.
Don't take her unless you have absolutely no choice. If you do have to take her, do ALL the book problems; she gets most of her test questions from the textbook and ALEKS. I went to office hours and it was actually very helpful, I wouldn't have passed without going.
Do not take this lecture
DO NOT TAKE.
Really good lecturer and made things super understandable and easy to follow along. Walks through problems with you. Having said that, really hard quizzes and tests (much harder than most of the stuff learned in class). Book problems are a must. Only teaches 8 ams. Honestly one of my favorite chem professors due to her lecture style but hard class.
