CollegeHer 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 made me hate chem and this is supposed to be a pre class. She made me want to jump off the cliff no joke.
this class prepared me a lot for chem1A, however.......prof anyika was highkey mean and i feel like the concepts taught in lectures weren't explained the best they could've been. i definitely learned the majority of the content on my own, from the textbooks. she seems really smart but can be extremely discouraging, unfortunately.
If you have never taken chem before like me, I 100% recommend taking CHEM 25. BUT Mercy is a fear mongerer and not a good teacher and she makes her exams much more difficult than they have to be. Her office hours SUCK she doesn't answer questions directly. She creates a very stressful environment for students, use CLAS! Attendance is Iclicker.
DO NOT take her class. First chem class at university and she gave me the worst impression ever :(
never again
