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.

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.

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.

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 :).

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.
