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.

Will make you feel bad for asking questions. Avoid speaking to her and the class is fine.

Dr. Kunkel is awesome i wish she taught Chem 1B! Shes funny and explains extremely well. Definitely worth requesting her

She's very clear and overall a great professor. She has a great personality and keeps the class fun and focuses on big concepts. Her practice tests are also really helpful. Take Bryanna if you get the chance!

Bryanna Kunkel is outstanding. She is very helpful, very nice, and could be a comedian if she wanted to. Maybe she is. Her explanations are clear as crystal, and she even adjusted our grades because ALEKS kept causing so many problems that quarter. She tells you exactly what will be on the exams, and even makes you study guides in class.

Kunkel is AMAZING!!! By far my favorite out of all of the Chem prof. But she is extraordinarily great at explaining things to students. I looked forward to going to her class, and I actually understood what I was doing in ALEKS, before I needed to do the topics. LOVE HER!! & I love what she said before every test... "Good luck! I believe in you!!!"

She indeed teaches well. (You must attend class since she hand rites everything on the board. no slides available online) Im not sure if its only me who felt this way but she seemed a lil cocky, not easy to approach, didnt want to help students out. Its cuz she didnt really try to listen to me everytime i had a question. hard tests.

She explains things like one doesn't know the material, making it easier to understand and apply

Amazing professor! Presents information very clearly and wants her students to do well in the class. I highly recommend doing the book problems and her past quizzes and exams that she provides on gauchospace. Take her class if you can!

I had Dr. Kunkel as a professor for Chem 1A. She was very funny and always kept us interested. She also offered many ways to help us with our grades! I passed with a B, considering I never took AP chem in high school. If you try really hard, she will pass you!

Kunkel is a great professor. She really works so that students understand the material and that everyone passes her class. If you have her think yourselves lucky!!

Great lecturer! She uses the chalboard which is much more effective than any powerpoints. Also she is funny! If you have to take chemistry and you hate the subject or even if you love it, Kunkel is the professor you want to have.

Kunkel is definitely the chem teacher you want! She is funny, organized, and clear in her lessons. Her tests are slightly long, but they are not made to trick or confuse you. Do the recommended problems and her reviews and you will do well! She is also very helpful in office hours.

kunkel is AWESOME!! I hated chemistry in high school and cried when i found out i had to take it for my major. i actually enjoyed biking to campus at 5 pm to her class. she's so funny and the class goes by so fast. you learn a lot and she really wants you to succeed. tests are lengthy but she warns you beforehand. do book problems. LOVED HER!!!!

Love Kunkel, easier chemistry teacher than Feldwinn. She is super chill and wants you to pass the class. Doesn't make it harder than it already is. Definitely recommended.

I love Kunkel! Great professor and fair class. Go to lecture and CLAS, study hard and you will do well. And... DON'T PANIC!

The best gen chem professor I have ever had! Kunkel is awesome, nice, and extremely helpful! Her tests are straight forward and her lectures help you understand the material really well. You don't even need the book at all, just attend lecture. Loved everything about this class and this professor! Definitely recommend her! she cares about students!

Kunkel is probably the easiest teacher I've ever had. Her tests are remarkably easy compared to the other chem teachers and she goes over tons of examples in class. if you want an easy A but not really learn much chem take her.

I will start with the good. She has a good personality, she also explains some things very well. I do not particulary like the teaching style. She does give you tools to study for the tests, they do not seem to be enough. I spent hours going over the material and would feel ready for the test. However the tests are way harder than expected.

Great Professor! Keeps the class entertained during lecture with her sense of humor and her passion for chemistry. Clear and well structured lectures. Tests and exams are fair. Definitely recommend chem with her.

Its a difficult class to begin with but she made it slightly interesting. Be able to do problem in under a min cause her midterms are lengthy. Sometimes messes up on questions during the test and will pretty much give you the point for it. I suggest you do the book problems it will help in being able to complete the midterms in time.

Professor Kunkel is by far my favorite professor at UCSB. She has a great sense of humor; she makes the class very interesting and fun. Her test are simple but long so keep that in mind. Other than that, she is the perfect chem professor.

Professor Kunkel is a true character. Her lectures brighten up the subject and engages her students. She is fairly lenient in grading and her tests are not too challenging. Pleasure to be in her class!

Bryanna Kunkel is a fun an interesting teacher here on campus. Her dry yet funny sense of humor keeps students captivated with her lectures and I enjoy attending her class each day.
