Her midterms are pretty doable considering the fact that she selects midterm questions from iclicker, textbook and ALEKS problems. The final curve was really generous. I won't say she's superb at lecturing but you actually learn some stuff.

Anyika was definitely the hardest gen chem teacher I've had. Had both Price and Joseph and would choose them over her in a heartbeat. The lectures were very rushed toward the end, her tests were extremely difficult even after doing all of the book problems and practice midterms. Not great overall hopefully she's better for ochem.

If you review quiz, book problems, and practice tests, the midterms would be very easy. However, don't expect to do good on the quizzes or the final. The quizzes do not give enough time and are hard even after doing all book problems. The Professor is nice and funny but is a little harsh for gen chem (tests MC and short ans are all or nothing).

As much as I enjoyed taking this class with Dr. Mercy, passing was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, despite getting excellent grades in both Chem 1A and 1B.

This is the worst professor I have had here so far. If you manage to get into her Chem 1C class prepare to work 3 to 5 times harder than you have with any other professor. She grades with no partial credit and puts trick questions on her exams. It is almost as if her goal is to fail as many students as possible and cry. Take Joseph!!

I regret taking Anyika.This class was brutal, it was all test heavy, 3 quizzes were only 25 min and extremely hard. The midterms were both free response and multiple choice, some super hard questions would be worth 7-10 points and would not be given partial credit. She doesn't explain well and class is essentially set up for you to fail.Take Joseph

Anyika has never taught Chem1C before and it shows. Lectures mandatory bc of iClicker points and most information not on the slides. I genuinely have never struggled this much in a chem course in my life. Test points were weighed so unevenly I would miss one question and drop a letter grade. She had super hard quizzes which ate into free ALEKS pts

Lectures are essentially mandatory since she posts incomplete slides. Quizzes are hard and take away from easy ALEKS points, and questions on tests are scaled unevenly, with some questions being worth 7-8 points and others 3-4. Tests have free response and multiple choice questions, no partial credit. Possibly the most stressful class I've taken.

I did not know I could feel this defeated, miserable, and disappointed by a class. I have never had a teacher who truly seems to set her students up for disaster and misery. She takes away points from almost everything, scales tests weird, and makes you work twice as hard. Her class is insanely draining, hopeless, and terrible. TAKE JOSEPH.

This class was pretty rough. I would say the midterms were about 20-30% harder then the ones I took for Price and Joseph for chem 1a and 1b. Also, the quizzes were kind of rough too but they were only like 5% of the grade and one could be replaced with iClicker points. The instruction was decent overall definitely not 1 level.

No matter how much you study, she always finds a way to ruin you. Quizzes are way harder than the book problems; exams have questions on things she didn't teach/spent 1 minute on in class + confusing unit conversions. To get you to attend lecture, she purposefully leaves info out of slides. There's an extra midterm on the last day of the quarter.

She grades very harshly, with the most difficult questions on tests being worth 10% of the whole test with no partial. She has graded iclickers and also takes a part of the Aleks percentage to make quizzes that are ridiculously hard. The quizzes have new types of questions about topics she just covered.

Her lecturing is not the best but it's practically required to go because of graded iclickers. She also takes a percentage out of the Aleks grade to give really hard quizzes with brand new types of questions. Her tests are also graded very harshly with the most difficult questions worth 10% of the whole quiz no partial.

you have to put in immense amounts of effort in order to do barely average in this class. After studying all materials, reading the textbook, and doing all the book problems, I still found it very hard to succeed. She struggles to teach clearly and always sounds very jumbled in all of her lectures. She sets you up for failure on her tests.

This class was absolutely draining. If you didn't watch another professor's lecture/read the textbook before class, you will be lost in lecture. I did all the book problems, Aleks, reviewed notes, and practice midterms but did the worst in her class. Her exams are unfair, some questions are worth 10 points, others worth as little as 3 points.

This is undoubtedly the most frustrating class I've ever taken. It does not matter if you understand the material perfectly; there is a high probability that you will get Cs on the midterms anyway. Her grading scale is godawful and she looks for ways to take off points. It's legitimately so annoying. Don't take this class if you value your sanity.

I've had different professors for the gen chem series and Anyika by far the worst one. She teaches the simplest concepts in class and makes quizzes and tests so much harder. This would be fine if she was a good teacher but she's not so there is no balance. Not very accommodating and helpful when questions are asked. Avoid at all costs!!

i've never met a professor that actually wanted her students to fail. her grading is very unfair, she takes easy points out of ALEKS to put into timed/difficult quizzes that drop your grade, uneven point distribution on tests, and very rude/unhelpful whenever you try to email for help. I worked twice as hard and long in this class only to struggle

Mercy is a really solid lecturer. 109B is pretty brutal overall so expect the material to still be pretty difficult. The final was pretty hard too, and some of the quizzes ended up having averages in the 50s. She's really nice + funny though, so take all the opportunities you have to get help.

Anyika is the best chem prof I've had so far. Actually changed my mind on how I feel about chem. She's extremely clear on what will be on each test and is always available for extra help. She's also nice and friendly. Had lewis last quarter and though he's a decent professor, Anyika is loads better.
