Anybody who tells you to take Anyika is not your friend. Her current RMP rating is very deceiving. Please avoid at all costs. This quarter with her has been the most hellish 10 weeks of my life, and I bet she's proud of that.

She's expects everything but doesn't do much on her side. Her canvas is disorganized in this folder. She sends out half a chapter for you to self-study on midterm days to make up for her slow lectures. She will ruin your mental health. If you're forced to take Anyika, be strong or wait next quarter for Lewis.

extremely difficult and unfair. Out of two CHEM109B midterms so far, both tests resulted in an average far below passing (about 60%), with not a singular perfect score, let alone even an A! (Top score was an A- on exam 1 and a B on exam 2). would not recommend

This was the hardest class I have ever taken. She has told the class many times that she failed chem when she took it in college yet give the most impossible riddle like exams ever. Her exams are so impossible, all our averages were a 60 or lower. She blames us for how poorly we do with no accountability. DON'T TAKE HER CLASS.

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.

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!
