Her sense of humor keeps class fun. Tests are hard but that obvious, its ochem. I loved her teaching style and think people give her wayyyy too much hate. Take queen anyika if you want to make ochem slightly less painful

She prides herself on being a tough grader, thinking that it also means she's a good professor. She's not. Often incoherent, hard to reach, and tests don't reflect what's assigned or taught in class. I'm sorry I took her class. Avoid if you can.

I had her for CHEM105 which covered general chem, bio chem, and organic chem in one course and she was amazing! I would 100% recommend her to anyone scared of chemistry. She uses common language to explain the process and she's pretty funny. She genuinely cares about her student's success.

Great professor, clearly explains O-chem at the highest level of depth, preparing you for all future coursework. Tests are hard, make sure to take notes at lecture, read the textbook and do all practice problems!

CHEM109B . Anyika M 6 Months Ago

Do not take her for 109C! She is very discouraging and her responses to emails are rude. She acts like she is so wise in terms of the subject, yet she frequency makes mistakes and always has a lame excuse for it. Right before a midterm, she said the test would easier than any English or Spanish test ever. The average ended up being a 65.25%

difficult only because its ochem, but I loved her. Her lectures are highly organized and structured. if you do textbook problems, you will be golden for exams (they are very similar, if not identical). Don't be fooled by my A, I worked my ass off for it, but its not unrealistic, I got a 62 on the first exam and was still able to pull it off
