She seems very passionate about chemistry. The best part about her lectures is perhaps that she provides specific examples for solving chem problems using the theory we learned (the how), which can be very helpful. However, if you have taken AP chem before or like to learn more about the theory (the why), you may find the lectures to be boring.

Dr. Kunkel is pretty cool and does a good job teaching. I would definitely recommend her to anyone taking the Chem 1 series. Class is mandatory for iClicker points which can help boost your grade in her class. Overall, lecture was never boring and she's really enthusiastic about teaching. The final for her class literally blew me over though ):

It was an absolute joy to be in Professor Kunkel's class. She gives clear lectures and provides copious practice materials for the quizzes, exams, and the final, all of which are not egregiously difficult. Stay on top of your ALEKS homework and study diligently for the tests and you can get an A or A-. She's also funny and makes the class worth it.

Professor Kunkle is honestly great. Take her class, you won't regret it. She is supper funny and awesome and it makes you want to go to her class. Showing up in every lecture and take notes and do practice test are the key to a very high grade.

Good

Hilarious. Solid teacher.

Loads of ALEKS homework, and she refuses to post anything online. Pretty much, if you don't come to class and copy down her words you have the textbook and that is IT as far as help.

Sheis really dorky, so she's fun to listen to in the early morning when you really don't want to be doing chem. It may be a little fast at first, if you've never taken AP Chem. She provides useful basic examples of the more complex test q's, and even though I eventually understood a lot of it, test q's still screwed me. XC and HW helped me pass

Kunkel is an amazing lecturer, she is clear and precise. She writes in chalk on the chalkboard but has good handwriting and it well organized. She is constantly willing to help and has many resources like past tests and recommended book problems. All of the tests and quizzes are multiple choice and tricky though

Kunkel's a great teacher, and she makes sure she tells you what she wants you to know on the test. However, she will also go out of the way to make sure that you know the material, and gives tests that you really need to concentrate on in order to do well. She's pretty funny and quirky - not bad at all.

Amazing teacher!!!! Very helpful and funny!

Great lectures with clear explanations, timing of it all is perfect. Her tests can be challenging but she prepares you well. Great class though!

I am a Bio major and don't like Chem, but Professor Kunkel made it doable. I got a F on my first quiz, and after meeting with her/revising my study plan I got an A in the class. She gives you second chances: 2 quizzes (one can be replaced w/ iclickers), 2 midterms (worst replaced w/ final if better). A lot of hw though, like all Chem 1A classes.

Make sure you understand the content for the tests, but she is fair.

I love Kunkel. She is so funny and explains things very well. As long as you take notes in her class, you'll be fine.

I really loved going to her lectures. She's very enthusiastic about Chemistry and she's really funny. If you ask questions she'll try her hardest to give a clear example. The only problem I had was she didn't work out her practice exam or practice final problems.

Very good lecturer overall, exams good be a little tricky though

Chemistry is hard. However, Kunkel laid out all the information that would be needed and that was about it. The practice tests /quizzes lacked the ways to solve the problems and that was pretty frustrating. She always would be willing to help answer questions if needed and she is extremely approachable.

Definitely a passionate teacher. Obviously, Chem isn't the easiest subject, and while Dr. Kunkel is very clear and informative, the class is still very difficult. Practice tests are a must, along with clear understanding of each topic in order to pass with ease.

Ridiculously enthusiastic, and an all-around great teacher.

Dr. Kunkel is hilarious and a very engaging lecturer. Her class is tough but if you put in the work, you should be okay. She wants you to do well and makes time outside of normal office hours to see you if needed.

She has tons of online practice tests & quizzes that help a lot!! Take multiple tests & quizzes before test days and you're good to go. There aren't really any surprise questions on the tests. Oh and go to class for iClicker points because they can salvage your lowest quiz score (if you're like me and bomb your first quiz in college).

Teaches very well, but compensates by taking test hard.

Very good teacher. Very clear and enthusiastic. She makes you very interested in the subject. The class is not difficult as long as you take the practice tests. The midterms and final are very similair to the practice tests.
