The class is super slowly paced and easy since it's prep for the first gen chem, and mercy is super personable and teaches very clearly. There wasn't a single time I felt behind, so as long as you go to lectures it's a free A. She's funny too so lecture isn't all that unpleasant.

Definitely wants students to succeed, the class was great preparation for chem 1a, one of the most organized professors I've had so far.

The way she taught and organized her slides were SO thorough and easy to understand. She does not put any concepts on tests that she has not gone over or were not in the recommended book problems/section worksheets. As long as you pay attention AND do the book problems, you will do amazing!! She is hilarious, funny, genuine, caring!!

Class is fast-paced, so I feel as though I grasped the material better outside of class by going over the notes. I appreciate that she does a good amount of practice problems. She has her silly moments too. You will have to put a lot of time outside of the lecture to understand the material.

Definitely recommend this class for people who don't have much previous chem knowledge. I learned a lot from the course and don't regret taking it. Mercy can seem a little intimidating and present concepts in a basic yet overwhelming way but if you do the textbook problems at the end of each chapter (notably the cumulative ones) you will be fine.

Somewhat enjoyed lectures because she's funny and sweet, however the way she broke down topics didn't click for me as I didn't take chem in high school. Very straightforward on expectations and preparing you for Chem 1A. However I didn't find asking for help very useful, when i didn't get a problem she only told me which concepts I need to review.
