She seems like a nice person, but her lectures are too fast. She makes the tests so hard and it contains many chapters. The other Chem classes do not even have it this difficult. The professors are better and the tests only covers about two chapters. Prepare for the test because the chapter learned in the same week of exam is on the test.

Prof Kunkel is a wonderful, old-school chalkboard lecturer. Best qualities: 1.) She has surgical precision with scientific language; 2.) She is clear, organized, and concise with no filler words (umm); 3.) She has an energetic, engaging tone; 4.) She is hilarious... I will definitely try to take her again. Powerpoint is overrated!

Lecture is easier than the exams so do a ton of the "additional" and "challenge" problems to study. She likes to trick you. Got an 80 on both midterms but a 96 on the final, A in the class. The final has a lot of old midterm questions and book problems, nothing she makes up herself really so do practice and you'll essentially know all the questions

Kunkel's exams are unpredictable. You'd think that because she quickly, nonchalantly mentions a concept that it's not very important... but nope. Everything's in play. She breezes through everything, and it's difficult to keep up during lectures. And it doesn't help that she doesn't have a powerpoint to go with her lectures. TAKE PRICE

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.

This is a weed out class. Imma tell you straight up, she doesn't care if you pass or not. Get out and get Price or Joseph if possible. Her tests are insanely harder than the other CHEM 1A professors. I wish I knew what i'm writing down when I started.

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.

everything is perfect except final

Kunkel's teaching style is cool. Her class will make perfect sense during lecture, but the tests are so tricky that I changed professors for 1B. She's a nice person, but I think she tries hard to make her tests extra challenging with little tricks. She provides plenty of material to study, but sometimes even that won't prep you for her exams.

Kunkel is a great professor that looks out for her students. She's quirky and makes chem more bearable. However you do need to put in the effort for this class. Final is significantly harder than the midterm. Do the textbook problems and know how to do all the questions on the practice exams!!

She was very caring about here students and I loved her energy in the mornings. Doing the practice quizzes and exams are a must; I think they are the most helpful for knowing what to expect on tests.

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 ):

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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
