Great lectures with clear explanations, timing of it all is perfect. Her tests can be challenging but she prepares you well. Great class though!

I am a Bio major and don't like Chem, but Professor Kunkel made it doable. I got a F on my first quiz, and after meeting with her/revising my study plan I got an A in the class. She gives you second chances: 2 quizzes (one can be replaced w/ iclickers), 2 midterms (worst replaced w/ final if better). A lot of hw though, like all Chem 1A classes.

Make sure you understand the content for the tests, but she is fair.

I love Kunkel. She is so funny and explains things very well. As long as you take notes in her class, you'll be fine.

I really loved going to her lectures. She's very enthusiastic about Chemistry and she's really funny. If you ask questions she'll try her hardest to give a clear example. The only problem I had was she didn't work out her practice exam or practice final problems.

Very good lecturer overall, exams good be a little tricky though

Chemistry is hard. However, Kunkel laid out all the information that would be needed and that was about it. The practice tests /quizzes lacked the ways to solve the problems and that was pretty frustrating. She always would be willing to help answer questions if needed and she is extremely approachable.

Definitely a passionate teacher. Obviously, Chem isn't the easiest subject, and while Dr. Kunkel is very clear and informative, the class is still very difficult. Practice tests are a must, along with clear understanding of each topic in order to pass with ease.

Ridiculously enthusiastic, and an all-around great teacher.

Dr. Kunkel is hilarious and a very engaging lecturer. Her class is tough but if you put in the work, you should be okay. She wants you to do well and makes time outside of normal office hours to see you if needed.

She has tons of online practice tests & quizzes that help a lot!! Take multiple tests & quizzes before test days and you're good to go. There aren't really any surprise questions on the tests. Oh and go to class for iClicker points because they can salvage your lowest quiz score (if you're like me and bomb your first quiz in college).

Teaches very well, but compensates by taking test hard.

Very good teacher. Very clear and enthusiastic. She makes you very interested in the subject. The class is not difficult as long as you take the practice tests. The midterms and final are very similair to the practice tests.

Kunkel is probably the BEST professor I had in the quarter . She's very clear and rarely uses slides, just the chalkboard which is helpful taking notes. She also posts videos on Gauchospace of her doing more examples from the lecture's topic. However, the quizes and midterms ARE pretty hard. CLAS helped me A LOT for the exams.

Dr. Kunkel is very nice and very enthusiastic. The class itself was pretty easy and if you've taken Chemistry in high school it should be all review for you. Kunkel is good at explaining how to do all the problems and she posts past tests and quizzes online which are very similar to the ones she gives. Overall she's a very good teacher.

I'm not a Chem student but she made this pretty attainable. Her tests are pretty hard, so make sure to study. She puts old test/quizzes up to study from so that is a great resource to use. There are not many grading opportunities so make sure to be on top of it from the start. She uses the blackboards so make a friend to get notes from if you skip.

She made chem 1A interesting and exciting. You have to go to class because of Iclicker points and some of her in class examples will be on the test. She teaches well and although her exams can be hard, they are pretty fair.

Great teacher. If you went to lecture and stay on top of reading and homework it should be an easy A. She does give a fair amount of homework. Her lectures were fun and interesting, I plan on taking Chem 1B with her next quarter.

Had her for chem 1A. She is totally into what shes teacher and super quirky so it makes you want to come to lecture. Examples in class are helpful to understand concepts and she makes tutorial videos too. Have to go to class because iClicker points

Amazing teacher, incredibly nice and passionate. Lectures were very fun and tests were very doable if you put in the time to study. MUST GO TO CLASS!

Tests are TOUGH. You can study for an entire week and end up with a D on a midterm. Just do all the practice tests and some of the book problems. She is very organized and clear, but moves on quickly. Keep up with the class and go to office hours for help. She will help as much she can! Great professor!

Put in the work and you'll get a good grade

Kunkel is a very good professor. Easy A in her class

I LOVE KUNKEL. I'm not a Chem major, just needed it as a prereq. I knew very little about chemistry going in and left feeling like I had learned a lot. She is very fast paste especially if you don't know much going in. She makes lectures interesting and is HILARIOUS!! I looked forward to going. Extremely helpful.
