CollegeI enjoyed taking this class, definitely recommend for those who want to have a strong foundation in chemistry! Midterms and final were very fair. All the problems found on tests were variations of the practice problems in the textbook (she posted scans of these w/answers too). I also liked how she posted the answers to midterms so we could correct.
I loved Mercy! Structured her class in a way that we could undertand the difficulties of chemistry. Midterms are worth more than anything else in her class. Make sure to do the aleks, also worth a lot. But overall a good class, in prep for Chem 1A. She's so fun and charistmatic.
Prof was great at explaining simple concepts and creating a positive environment for ppl new to chem, but I felt she never spent enough time on the harder ones/stuff that actually appeared on tests. Midterms (3) and final heavy with mandatory sections, but those really helped anyway. Definitely great prep for 1A, tests structured just like theirs.
As the lowest level class, Mercy was great at explaining the basics of chem by using analogies. She was willing to provide help outside of class with office hours, and her jokes made the class enjoyable. She always came in with a happy attitude. Glad I took this class because it prepared me a lot for 1A.
