Had her for chem 1A. She is totally into what shes teacher and super quirky so it makes you want to come to lecture. Examples in class are helpful to understand concepts and she makes tutorial videos too. Have to go to class because iClicker points

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!

Amazing teacher, incredibly nice and passionate. Lectures were very fun and tests were very doable if you put in the time to study. MUST GO TO CLASS!

Tests are TOUGH. You can study for an entire week and end up with a D on a midterm. Just do all the practice tests and some of the book problems. She is very organized and clear, but moves on quickly. Keep up with the class and go to office hours for help. She will help as much she can! Great professor!

Put in the work and you'll get a good grade

Kunkel is a very good professor. Easy A in her class

I LOVE KUNKEL. I'm not a Chem major, just needed it as a prereq. I knew very little about chemistry going in and left feeling like I had learned a lot. She is very fast paste especially if you don't know much going in. She makes lectures interesting and is HILARIOUS!! I looked forward to going. Extremely helpful.

Very engaging and actually funny prof who clearly explains and breaks down problems on chalkboard which is really helpful. Tests are difficult but releases past exams to use to study. Sign up for CLAS, visit office hours when you struggle, take good notes, do ALEKS, and pace yourself in terms of studying and you will do well. Don't slack off.

Her lectures are clear and interesting, though she focuses more on computations than concepts. She gives many examples, but they are easier than the ones on her tests. Her midterms have at least 1 difficult question. Her final has many difficult questions and mainly focuses on the last part of the course. Hilarious and seems willing to help.

She was a very helpful professor especially during office hours. She took the time out to help students, and she was very passionate about the subject at hand. She also made jokes to sorta help you remember certain concepts. In addition, she tells you exactly what kind of problems you need to pay close attention as they'll be on upcoming exams

Very enthusiastic chem professor. Her exams are fairly difficult but definitely manageable as long as you do her old practice exams. She recycles some questions so that's a bonus. Do the recommended book problems because they definitely help! She doesn't curve each examquiz but there is one huge curve at the end of the quarter.

Love her because she is very upbeat and excited about chem. The class overall is very tough no matter what professor you have. Be prepared for late night studying and preparing for examsquizzes at least a week in advance. Definitely have to work hard for a good grade!

Kunkel is an entertaining lecturer, and explains materials well. I took AP chem, so this class was very easy for me. Did not go to a lot of class and got a high A in the class. I was interested because I'm a bio major, but not enough to ever use the textbook.

Kunkel is the best Chem 1A professor! Her tests were definitely tough, I compared exams to other professors and it was a joke how easy the others were. But, she definitely prepares you for the Chem series and is great at making concepts stick with you!

A very sarcastic person, but explains concepts very clear. She goes quickly in the beginning of the quarter and slows down during the harder concepts. Her tests are fair, but tough. Time is always an issue. So not only should you master the material but you have to do it quickly. She is however a teacher I would take again for sure.

She's very funny and enthusiastic about chemistry! If you go to her office hours she really tries to help you understand the material but you have to do your part and practice the problems yourself first. I took Chem 1a with her the first time and got a D+ but I retook it and got an A-. You just really need to dedicate time

Super enthusiastic, fun lectures, and has really great board writing skills. Tests and quizzes were a little tricky. Must do practice tests and I've heard book problems help (I didn't do them which probably explains my low grade).

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.
