She made me hate chem and this is supposed to be a pre class. She made me want to jump off the cliff no joke.

this class prepared me a lot for chem1A, however.......prof anyika was highkey mean and i feel like the concepts taught in lectures weren't explained the best they could've been. i definitely learned the majority of the content on my own, from the textbooks. she seems really smart but can be extremely discouraging, unfortunately.

If you have never taken chem before like me, I 100% recommend taking CHEM 25. BUT Mercy is a fear mongerer and not a good teacher and she makes her exams much more difficult than they have to be. Her office hours SUCK she doesn't answer questions directly. She creates a very stressful environment for students, use CLAS! Attendance is Iclicker.

DO NOT take her class. First chem class at university and she gave me the worst impression ever :(

never again

Mercy's class is designed in almost a symbiotic or parasitic way. It felt similar to how Frankenstein designed his monster, and how the monster soon grew an immense desire for a relationship. That relationship was us (the students), and the class was the monster, chasing after us, gripping us by the neck, desperately calling for our engagement.

I really enjoyed her lectures and she was the perfect balance of stern and kind. The tests aren't that hard if you study, which she gives many tips and ideas on how to do so.

Chem 25 should be a good class to prepare for Chem 1A, but having Mercy does not help at all. She only goes through slides during lecture, while solving the easiest example problems, while barely explaining her process. The example problems provided are absolutely nothing like the problems provided on the quiz and midterms.

i have nightmares of this class and professor. her literal agenda is that if you don't dedicate ur life to her class and ONLY her class it seems, then you don't belong there. her passive-agressive, borderline bully-like jokes and comments still ring in my ear to this day. i was so miserable. so miserable.

If you want your first year to be literal hell, take this class. Mercy constantly told us and ENGRAVED in us that we would fail unless we studied the material ALL day and every day. She made her whole personality about chemistry and took a huge toll on my mental health as a first year. I was depressed and her negative comments in class never helped

i still have nightmares of this class not just because it's ochem but because of the professor. i may have gotten an A- BUT AT THE COST OF MY SOUL. she was just straight up mean. a class never went by that she didn't say we were going to fail. our class averages were in the 40s. GET LEWIS

Never thought I'd write on of these, but she shows 0 compassion for the students and absolutely fearmongers
