Things started out ok, in lecture she makes everything seem very easy. BUT her tests are not an accurate representation of the lectures. The tests are way harder than anything you'll ever see in class. Don't take her. I had to retake Chem1B with Price and the difference was night and day. choose Price if you can

The lectures were fine. She read off her notes and copied everything on the blackboard. However, tests were so much harder than lectures made it seem. The examples she chose to do in class are of no use studying cause she chose the easiest examples to show. Almost all test questions were calculations. So do book problems like she recommends.

Her lectures are simplified, which is great when introducing a hard topic at first, but to deeply understand whats going on lectures are not useful. Make sure to do hard book problems, and other materials, and do study on your own. Her tests can be hard, but it can be prepared for with lots of problems. CLAS is not bad either.

Thanks Kunkel for including a whole unit we never learned in the 1B final. Don't take her class unless you want to pretty much learn the whole thing on your own if you want to do well on her tests. Her lectures cover bare minimum of this class and the test questions are hard and unexpected. No need to screw your students so much, but she does.

Kunkel is a good professor in general chem. Ber lecture is clear and pretty easy to follow. Besides, her exams are not hard. As long as you go through the lecture notes and do enough past exams, you don't even need to do the book problems and ALEKS, you will do well in her class. A Good choice for general chem.

She don't seem to understand class material very well. she would just list equations on blackboard by copying from the notes she is holding with little explanation of the background of the equation. then she would give a super simple example question which can be directly solved by plug in, however don't expect these type of questions on test.

Kunkel is a quirky professor and her class is reasonable up to the final. However, her final is ridiculously hard and she provides no practice problems that compare to what is on the final, but the class is curved so she isn't a bad choice. I would highly recommend taking Price if possible even if it doesn't fit your schedule perfectly.

I think Kunkel is a great teacher. I had her for 1A and 1B and am taking her for 1C. If you do all the book problems and practice quizzes, you'll do fine on the tests. I did all the recommended book problems and practice exams and got an A in 1B. The difficulty of 1B is not kunkel's fault and a lot of people are blaming her for their bad grade...

Had Price for 1A and had a great experiences with him. Kunkel is less organized which took me a minute to get used to. Lectures are a lot less structured than Price's so you have to pay attention. I suggest finding and doing the most difficult questions you possibly can in preparation for finals and midterms.

-Took her for chem 1a and was significantly harder for chem 1b -Go to CLAS, do textbook problems, do CLAS practice problems, do her practice exams -Do graded ALEKS for extra grade boost -Class is curved, but don't depend on it

She is a decent lecturer and prepares you pretty well. Her tests and quizzes are pretty tough, although the final is harder than them. To get an A do book problems and review Iclicker questions.

I heard many good things about Kunkel in Chem 1A, so I decided to take her chem 1B course. It was terrible. Lectures were heavy and fast, and the practice tests did not look like the actual tests. The actual tests were also too long, so most people did not even finish. Don't take her for chem 1B. Seriously.

Kunkel is a quirky, fun professor that makes going to lecture enjoyable. I found her 1A class to be easy, but when it comes to 1B, she does not teach that particular course very well at all. Lecture examples and practice midterms are not reflective of the tests. Book problems are your best bet but still will not do enough to prepare you.

Kunkel has enthusiasm for the material though fails to clearly explain the concepts in depth. Her exams are significantly harder than anything that she explains in class, on top of that she does all of her notes on the board without posting any of the examples on her slides. Likely one of the least clear professors that I have ever had.

The lectures don't help, she goes over everything super fast and doesn't really explain what she's doing. The tests aren't really that hard just do book problems and midterms and you should be fine.

Tests are extremely tricky (e.g. lots of unit changes, tricky wording) compared to her lecture questions. Practice exams are almost useless and book problems are slightly useful. Some questions in her tests can be found in CLAS resources, but other than that you really have to know the concepts.

Kunkle is a great professor and she definitely made class interesting. She seemed to really care that we understood the material. I really liked her lectures, but the tests were a bit hard at times, just pay attention in lecture and study hard for tests and you should be fine. Definitely recommend her overall!

Take GenChem from her. I had Petra for 1A and liked Kunkel better. She explains better and writes on the board which is more effective than just clicking through a power point. Midterms are long, sorta tricky, but still fair. She is hilarious and very nice. I never read or did book problems, but you should. Replaces lowest quiz score with iclicker.

One of the better chemistry professors. Sometimes lectures can be slow but she still keeps class interesting. Do the book problems as much as she says to and you'll do awesome. I rarely read and just worked tons of problems and got an A. Definitely recommend taking Kunkel.

Professor Kunkel always kept class entertaining with her dry sense of humor and overt passion for chemistry. However, her exams were excessively lengthy and at times quite challenging.

She keeps class fairly entertaining and is pretty funny. Not sure why people are giving her a high easiness score. She curves the class so the average is a 75%; most classes tend to be curved to around 80%. Her tests and quizzes are fair though and have a pretty good mix of hard/easy questions.

Overall a decent professor; tests aren't too hard but can be a bit lengthy. The final, however, was a bit more challenging. Tests aren't curved but the class is curved at the end of the quarter. On the plus side, she has a great sense of humor that'll definitely keep you from falling asleep in class.

Not the clearest or most informed chem professor out there, but her deadpan humor certainly helps keep the class engaged. Quizzes are easy while midterms are significantly more challenging. Overall a solid professor.

Longer than expected midterm but it was rather trivial. People should stop complaining -______________- All of the classes are graded similarly, it's dependent on how much time you put into it. Kunkel's monotone voice is so funny :).
