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!

Do not take her for 109C! She is very discouraging and her responses to emails are rude. She acts like she is so wise in terms of the subject, yet she frequency makes mistakes and always has a lame excuse for it. Right before a midterm, she said the test would easier than any English or Spanish test ever. The average ended up being a 65.25%

Anyika is a quite poor professor and I am tired of acting like she isn't. Her lectures do no better at teaching than the textbook itself, her test averages are consistently significantly lower than other OChem averages, and she fails to prepare students WHATSOEVER for her exams. do well on the first two because the third quiz and final are awful.

This has to be one of the hardest class I have ever taken here at UCSB. The content was already hard and messy but Anyika made it harder by hiding crazy tricks in her tests and I dislike how points were either all or nothing. The final was destructive to say the least but the curve she gave was very generous at the end of the day.

Anyika's tests are very hard and can be demotivating at times, which is the only con I can really make. But this is intrinsic to any O Chem course. However her lectures are very concise and well taught. Almost everything important is covered in lecture, but I recommend reading the textbook for review. Always do the textbook problems and DON'T CRAM.
