I took AP chem in high school but had to take this class again for some reason. Although it wasn't bad for me, I can tell that it would be a difficult class for someone who hasn't taken ap chem. If you put in the work, it will be easy. If you don't it's gonna be really tough. Just do the work.

She cares. If the class doesn't do very well on iClickers in class, she'll go over the material again. She also does examples on the blackboard in class to clarify the course materials. My advice though is: ALEKS is your friend. ALEKS will teach you what she doesn't; don't hate ALEKS, and don't do it in one night. Also, do the practice finals.

Take her if you are willing to put a good amount of effort in chem instead of seeing it as just another obstacle class. From my experience, HARD WORK is extremely possibly you an A in this class. Put in the time for it! I didn't do well and study enough bc I only took this class bc I had, to with almost 0 interest in chem. Try to avoid being me.

Kunkel is amazing and my poor grade is a reflection of my lack of hard work. She's very clear and enthusiastic. Rumor has it she has the hardest exams, but then there's a pretty big curve at the end of the course. If you want an A, GO TO CLASS. PLEASE. As soon as you don't understand what she's doing, FIX IT. Take the practice exams.

She's kinda funny, and etc. But be real, if you want an A in Chem, you don't want her. You don't need textbook, her lectures are good, and she's funny. But her tests are way harder than anyone else, no powerpoints posted, and she gives adventure problems (problems you never seen before). If you want an A, don't take her. Otherwise, she's great.

GO to class her Iclicker replaces lowest quiz grade and the final replaces lowest test (all only if you did better on the iclicker or final) automatically so thats great! Funny if you get sarcasm.

I have a feeling shes going to be my favorite teacher here. I already know it.

Chem 1A sucks no matter what. There's quizzes and midterms every other week, and hours of ALEKS on end. But if you must, choose Kunkel. She's young, funny, fair, and extremely enthusiastic. She goes too fast to comprehend the material without outside help (CLAS, tutor) but she's always open for office hours and loves talking to students

Kunkel gets really excited about chemistry. She makes you want to pay attention and usually explains things pretty well. She's very sweet and helpful especially during office hours. The tests are a little difficult because of her adventure problems, but otherwise they cover everything you go over in class. You won't have to read the textbook.

Had 3 different professors for each quarter of the gen chem series- and Kunkel is by far the best chem professor there is. Great at explaining concepts and helping students out

Dr. Kunkel writes all of her notes with chalk on the board so it's easy to keep up with her in lecture. She thoroughly explains all topics and types of questions. Her tests usually have a question that requires a little outside of the box thinking but no other surprises. Overall I thought she was a great professor!

Dr. Kunkel was a great professor! She does not use powerpoint slides during her lectures, but writes down her notes on the chalk board. Personally, I found this teaching style to be very useful in learning chemistry because she walks you through her notes at a good pace. Her tests are not that hard if you attend lecture and do book problems.

Pretty easy class. Kind of sassy though

BEST CHEM TEACHER! I loved going to lecture, Kunkel was hilarious and her humor was quite unique. Was very skilled at relating chemistry topics to things such as 'ham sandwiches' or 'killer bears'. Definitely helped understand concepts. Teaches well, easy tests if you keep up with the material. Made me switch my major from bio to biochemistry.

She seemed like a good professor until we reached the difficult topics. She just glanced over the hardest sections, while spending multiple days on much easier sections. She gives you 30 minutes for 5 question quizzes and then 50 minutes for 25-30 question midterms.

I took AP Chem in high school and by far learned more in Chem 1A in a quarter than I did there during a year. Bryanna really loves the material and her "experiments" are really funny. Very clear on common mistakes to avoid and what to study for tests. Midterm and Final are difficult, but if you study and go to CLAS you can definitely do well!

Really good professor to take if you know nothing about chemistry. She simplifies everything and gives really funny and simple examples to help you remember stuff. Tells many funny stories in lecture. Best professor to take for intro chemistry classes.

Dr.Kunkel was a great professor! i came intro her class with a weak foundation in chemistry but since she was such great professor i learned very quickly. However her tests are very hard. She as a lot of challenge questions. these questions cover things we never really delt with. Over all she is an amazing professor! TAKE HER !

She was a very great teacher! I wish she taught chem 1B. The tests were very difficult so make sure you study very hard. The class is pretty time consuming so make sure you dedicate yourself to it

Kunkel is a really great professor. She knows what she is talking about and is very helpful. I loved how during every lecture she tried to be humorous.

Very clear and organized teacher. Helpful in getting the student a higher grade. Can be condescending at lectures at times. Homework (ALEKS) is very tedious; tests are rather challenging, but if you are on top of your studies, Chem 1A should be an easy class.

Kunkel has really hard quizzes and exams that are nothing like her practice ones. They are WAY harder and more challenging. class is mandatory and she teaches everything well, however she only teaches you the easy problems and gives challenge problems on test. there is a curve and go to her office hours she is very helpful. hopefully u took ap chem

Kunkel is actually a great teacher. She's very clear on her examples and what she expects but i thought the class was very challenging to say the least. Even after all the practice exams and quizzes I did, the tests where no where near the same. The final was really hard too! I got an F but still got a C in the class. The curve does help in the end

This class was really a torturous class. To be frank, I studied for many hours and still couldn't do well in any of her quizzes, exams, and finals. Although she seems nice and that she seemly tries to help everyone's grade, her tests are ridiculously hard and tricky. Also, her Alex Homework is the worst thing as it kills time and teaches zero.
