CollegeThis course is really difficult, but Professor Anyika does what she can. She'll teach you everything you need to know for tests, but sometimes there's exceptions and purposefully difficult questions in there to get you. Class averages for this course are low, but there should be a curve.
I LOVE Anyika. She's sassy, but you can tell she cares about you if you so long you put effort into learning the material. She tests you on things that make you really think cause it's not just practice problems from the textbook. She's totally a fair tester. ATTEND OFFICE HOURS they help so much.
Professor Anyika has been my favorite professor. She is extremely caring and will help her students understand the material. She will sit with you one on one until you understand if you ask her. Ochem is a hard class but if you go to office hours, understand the practice problems, and go to office hours you should be fine. Definitely recommend!!
I was worried going into Anyika's class because I heard negative reviews from my peers about her teaching and difficulty, but I learned so much from her and really appreciated how she made herself available outside of lecture. I went to her office hours frequently and she gave clear explanations. Her exams are fair if you go to lectures.
She thinks she's a really smart, awesome professor but she's just ok. Her ego does not match her skill, and is critical on students unprompted due to her ego trips. Just not a fun person to be taught by, go for your other options if you have a chance.
I really liked her style of teaching. For 109A and 109B her tests were a little unfair especially compared to the other professors. They were full of little exceptions and trick questions. Ochem is a hard topic overall but Anyika is super nice and wants you to learn. She is supper accessible if you need extra help or have questions.
