Took Price for Chem 1A and 1B and had a much better experience than I am having with Kunkel in Chem 1C. Her tests and quizzes are very hard. Don't expect her old exams and quizzes to be like her current ones. The old tests and quizzes were very easy in comparison to the ones she now gives. Mostly lectures from the chalkboard. Take someone else.

I think Kunkel is a great teacher. I had her for 1A and 1B and am taking her for 1C. If you do all the book problems and practice quizzes, you'll do fine on the tests. I did all the recommended book problems and practice exams and got an A in 1B. The difficulty of 1B is not kunkel's fault and a lot of people are blaming her for their bad grade...

Had Price for 1A and had a great experiences with him. Kunkel is less organized which took me a minute to get used to. Lectures are a lot less structured than Price's so you have to pay attention. I suggest finding and doing the most difficult questions you possibly can in preparation for finals and midterms.

-Took her for chem 1a and was significantly harder for chem 1b -Go to CLAS, do textbook problems, do CLAS practice problems, do her practice exams -Do graded ALEKS for extra grade boost -Class is curved, but don't depend on it

She is a decent lecturer and prepares you pretty well. Her tests and quizzes are pretty tough, although the final is harder than them. To get an A do book problems and review Iclicker questions.

I heard many good things about Kunkel in Chem 1A, so I decided to take her chem 1B course. It was terrible. Lectures were heavy and fast, and the practice tests did not look like the actual tests. The actual tests were also too long, so most people did not even finish. Don't take her for chem 1B. Seriously.

Kunkel is a quirky, fun professor that makes going to lecture enjoyable. I found her 1A class to be easy, but when it comes to 1B, she does not teach that particular course very well at all. Lecture examples and practice midterms are not reflective of the tests. Book problems are your best bet but still will not do enough to prepare you.

Kunkel has enthusiasm for the material though fails to clearly explain the concepts in depth. Her exams are significantly harder than anything that she explains in class, on top of that she does all of her notes on the board without posting any of the examples on her slides. Likely one of the least clear professors that I have ever had.

The lectures don't help, she goes over everything super fast and doesn't really explain what she's doing. The tests aren't really that hard just do book problems and midterms and you should be fine.

She is a good professor, although be prepared to write fast because she does not put up powerpoints of lecture and writes fast and sometimes messily on the chalk board.

Tests are extremely tricky (e.g. lots of unit changes, tricky wording) compared to her lecture questions. Practice exams are almost useless and book problems are slightly useful. Some questions in her tests can be found in CLAS resources, but other than that you really have to know the concepts.

Not so hard for AP Chem learners. You won't earn enough iclicker points for not showing on class, but don't worry it's only worth 5% of total score and replaceable. She is very nice and could be very helpful for newcomers like me.

If you're gonna do Gen Chem, this is the best way to do it if you want to truly learn the material. She really engages with the students, super helpful, and accessible. Beware though, her tests especially her finals (I took 1A-C with her) are rough no matter what. Practice tests don't help much, DO BOOK PROBLEMS!! Also, be prepared for no curve

Her tests are very hard compared to what she teaches in class, which are the bare basics. Even though I did 90% of the book problems, I still found myself getting stumped constantly on test Q's, which she doesn't really prepare you for. You can put in hours of studying what she tells you to study, and still do poorly on exams.

Go to lecture and understand and know examples from class. What is presented in lecture is exactly what is on exams. Very clear and wants students to actually succeed, unlike many professors. Uses clicker. Book use recommended, but got an A never opening it.

Her lectures are very clear and thorough. She's pretty funny and makes the class very enjoyable. The only thing is that there are two quizzes, two midterms, and a final but if you study a lot and work on her practices quizzes and exams, you'll be fine. The final screwed me over though but other than that, she is an excellent and helpful professor!

Great professor! However, her tests are pretty difficult and always includes a question that throws you off. I got a D on the chem 1A final but still managed to get a C+ in the class. Definitely do Aleks and try to do as many book problems as possible.

I would not recommend this class. I did not find the professor helpful nor interesting. The course was confusing and difficult. I felt like I had to learn from outside sources and other students.

Do not cram the night before an exam! If you do the reading and homework ahead of time you will know the concepts and not even need to study. Chemistry is not memorization, it is applied. I loved Kunkel and her love for chemistry was awesome and inspiring.

I really dislike the class. She is about a week ahead of the syllabus schedule, rushing through lectures. The example problems she does in class are fairly simple, and the questions on the test are tough and tricky. Made me dislike Chem altogether.

Took her class for Chem 1C after taking Price for 1A-1B. She doesn't use power point lectures, strictly chalk board. This makes it hard to go back over lecture notes if you miss a class or just are a poor note taker. As with all the gen chem classes, you must read and workout problems in the book to pass. Final opinion? Choose another prof.

Such an amazing professor. She really cares about her students and wants them all to succeed. She made this class super easy if you study and go to lecture and her questions on exams are clear. She's always open to help and really cares about students!

I took for fall quarter. You don't need book, but 100% will have to go to lectures. She covers too much and goes too fast. Her tests and quizzes are extremely hard, and she doesn't curve. You have to study hardcore to get a B on a test tbh. She gives adventure problems, which are not fun. Great lectures, but if you want an easy A, not here.

I love Kunkel She is such an amazing professor. She really cares about each individual student and wants everyone to do well. As long as you go to class you will be fine. She is very approachable as well you can talk to her about Chemistry or just about life in general. Kunkel is also very hilarious. Use the textbook if you want to do amazing
