Collegeher lectures were engaging and she explains concepts more in depth than lewis in my opinion. her sarcastic humor appealed to me but it's not for everyone which might be why people say she's mean. she can be discouraging but everything she says is true lol. do your practice problems and you'll be fine
she warned us at the beginning of the quarter that chapters 6-9 would be the hardest and proceeded to spend a total of 4 lectures on them and told us to ready the rest at home... how does that help anyone.
Do not take ochem with Anyika. In addition to making her class impossible she gloats about how many students fail. Being a college student is hard enough sometimes without her negativity and fear mongering.
avoid taking a class with her, save yourself
i still have nightmares of this class not just because it's ochem but because of the professor. i may have gotten an A- BUT AT THE COST OF MY SOUL. she was just straight up mean. a class never went by that she didn't say we were going to fail. our class averages were in the 40s. GET LEWIS
Okay, I know Anyika gets a lot of hate but shes honestly really good. I prefer her to the other OCHEM professors. Although she seems intimidating, its actually for the best. Her "energetic" attitude helped me know what to really focus on. DO BOOK PROBLEMS(in & end of chapter)OCHEM is already a hard subject to teach, so I think she does a fair job.
