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.

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

I don't understand the hate. Anyika is easily my favorite professor at ucsb. She cares a lot about her students understandings and has taught me study habits that I will use forever. She will scare you into studying harder which ended up making me enjoy ochem way more.

Class with her was one of the most difficult and discouraging experiences I've had. Class averages were consistently low, which made it clear that this was not an isolated issue, but a systemic problem with how the course was structured.Exams were unnecessarily hard with no partial credit, making it nearly impossible to do well despite preparation.

obviously ochem is hard, but mercy didnt even try to make it any easier. if you really REALLY put in the effort an A is possible, but just try to take it with someone else if you can. that aside, i actually didnt hate her teaching and her tests werent unfair, just difficult

Personally I found her to be a very difficult professor. Her lectures were very bare and she expects to teach yourself all of the content and use lecture as review. She's also very discouraging in office hours and in lectures. I would need more than two hands in order to count the amount of times she told us we were going to fail the tests.
