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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Her lectures are very clear and thorough. She's pretty funny and makes the class very enjoyable. The only thing is that there are two quizzes, two midterms, and a final but if you study a lot and work on her practices quizzes and exams, you'll be fine. The final screwed me over though but other than that, she is an excellent and helpful professor!

Great professor! However, her tests are pretty difficult and always includes a question that throws you off. I got a D on the chem 1A final but still managed to get a C+ in the class. Definitely do Aleks and try to do as many book problems as possible.

I would not recommend this class. I did not find the professor helpful nor interesting. The course was confusing and difficult. I felt like I had to learn from outside sources and other students.

Do not cram the night before an exam! If you do the reading and homework ahead of time you will know the concepts and not even need to study. Chemistry is not memorization, it is applied. I loved Kunkel and her love for chemistry was awesome and inspiring.

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!

I took for fall quarter. You don't need book, but 100% will have to go to lectures. She covers too much and goes too fast. Her tests and quizzes are extremely hard, and she doesn't curve. You have to study hardcore to get a B on a test tbh. She gives adventure problems, which are not fun. Great lectures, but if you want an easy A, not here.

I love Kunkel She is such an amazing professor. She really cares about each individual student and wants everyone to do well. As long as you go to class you will be fine. She is very approachable as well you can talk to her about Chemistry or just about life in general. Kunkel is also very hilarious. Use the textbook if you want to do amazing

Great prof now that I'm looking back. But I was a fool and never went to lecture and never studied (fall quarter freshman year). If you go the route I went you will at least get a C like I did. But HEED MY WORDS, get studying even like 20 minutes a day and you WILL get an A. Don't be a bad freshman like I was.

Kunkel is NOT a good teacher. She is confusing, annoying to listen to, and her exams are completely unfair. For Chem 1C she went WAY off of her notes and never even covered some of the concepts. She is the WORST chem professor I have EVER had. I wish I was not in her class right now.

Kunkel is very clear with her lectures. Explains concepts well and makes clear what will be on midterm and final. First midterm was very difficult but second one is much more doable. Had her for Chem 1A and struggled tremendously. This class is easier and much more interesting.

I took Kunkel for Chem1A and ES15. I love Kunkel- I love her dry humor. As clear as she presents the material, I'm an ES major and had a really hard time on her tests even though they were fair. I ended up with a C and am happy to have passed. Kunkel's tests are fair so is the curve, I just suck at chem. I'm glad I'm done w/ the chem requirement

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!

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.

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!

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!
