Will make you feel bad for asking questions. Avoid speaking to her and the class is fine.
Dr. Kunkel is awesome i wish she taught Chem 1B! Shes funny and explains extremely well. Definitely worth requesting her
Bryanna Kunkel is outstanding. She is very helpful, very nice, and could be a comedian if she wanted to. Maybe she is. Her explanations are clear as crystal, and she even adjusted our grades because ALEKS kept causing so many problems that quarter. She tells you exactly what will be on the exams, and even makes you study guides in class.
Kunkel is AMAZING!!! By far my favorite out of all of the Chem prof. But she is extraordinarily great at explaining things to students. I looked forward to going to her class, and I actually understood what I was doing in ALEKS, before I needed to do the topics. LOVE HER!! & I love what she said before every test... "Good luck! I believe in you!!!"
She indeed teaches well. (You must attend class since she hand rites everything on the board. no slides available online) Im not sure if its only me who felt this way but she seemed a lil cocky, not easy to approach, didnt want to help students out. Its cuz she didnt really try to listen to me everytime i had a question. hard tests.
She explains things like one doesn't know the material, making it easier to understand and apply
Amazing professor! Presents information very clearly and wants her students to do well in the class. I highly recommend doing the book problems and her past quizzes and exams that she provides on gauchospace. Take her class if you can!
I had Dr. Kunkel as a professor for Chem 1A. She was very funny and always kept us interested. She also offered many ways to help us with our grades! I passed with a B, considering I never took AP chem in high school. If you try really hard, she will pass you!
Kunkel is a great professor. She really works so that students understand the material and that everyone passes her class. If you have her think yourselves lucky!!
Great lecturer! She uses the chalboard which is much more effective than any powerpoints. Also she is funny! If you have to take chemistry and you hate the subject or even if you love it, Kunkel is the professor you want to have.
kunkel is AWESOME!! I hated chemistry in high school and cried when i found out i had to take it for my major. i actually enjoyed biking to campus at 5 pm to her class. she's so funny and the class goes by so fast. you learn a lot and she really wants you to succeed. tests are lengthy but she warns you beforehand. do book problems. LOVED HER!!!!
Love Kunkel, easier chemistry teacher than Feldwinn. She is super chill and wants you to pass the class. Doesn't make it harder than it already is. Definitely recommended.
I love Kunkel! Great professor and fair class. Go to lecture and CLAS, study hard and you will do well. And... DON'T PANIC!
Kunkel is probably the easiest teacher I've ever had. Her tests are remarkably easy compared to the other chem teachers and she goes over tons of examples in class. if you want an easy A but not really learn much chem take her.
Professor Kunkel is a true character. Her lectures brighten up the subject and engages her students. She is fairly lenient in grading and her tests are not too challenging. Pleasure to be in her class!
Bryanna Kunkel is a fun an interesting teacher here on campus. Her dry yet funny sense of humor keeps students captivated with her lectures and I enjoy attending her class each day.
Professor Kunkel is a pretty good teacher overall. I recommend taking her Chem class over the others because she is a very easy grader in comparison to the other professors (from what I have heard).
Had her for both chem 1a/1b, I mean she was okay. Lectures only ever had surface level example problems and her exams always had questions that came out of nowhere, even after going through ALL practice exams and all the book problems. This class is going to be hard no matter but still I feel exams weren't the fairest and set up trying to trick u.
do all the practice exams 2-3x each because tests are basically identical. but her handwriting is so ahh it's like deciphering code on those answer keys... lecture is useless, do aleks, and self teach the entire course to urself and you'll get a B.
i wish i could take her for the entire chem series. exams are usually similar to the practice problems so do them multiple times!!! (midterms are only 45 minutes) her lecture videos are pretty bad so go to lecture. do book problems (as you would in any gen chem class) and aleks.
Professor did an amazing job of teaching the difficult concepts. Was easy to talk to and made lectures fun and interesting. Exams were difficult but not impossible if you studied and did book problems consistently.
very good lectures. she goes over lots of example problems during them that are similar to what is on the midterms/final. During the example problems provides students the time to do the problem on their own first before she gives the explanation which is nice.
Low ratings are because the course itself is difficult, she teaches well. Don't be fooled— ALEKS is NOT optional, the grade boost is a lifesaver. Exams are hard but 90% of exam problems are ~identical to textbook ones. Grind the heck out of those and you'll do well. Her lecture videos are confusing— Joseph has good vids on yt, or just google it.
Sylvester isn't the worst but definitely isn't the best. Her first midterm and final were very difficult and different from her practice tests, although her second midterm was much more easier and doable. She explains concepts at a very basic level so make sure to do ALL book problems more than once as well as the optional ALEKS to pass.
