She is so silly. I laughed out loud multiple times from her jokes. Not her fault the class and subject is hard, she teaches well and lays out her expectations clearly. If you do the textbook problems and her worksheets the tests are very fair. I took the entire 109 o-chem series with her and would do it again.

This course is really difficult, but Professor Anyika does what she can. She'll teach you everything you need to know for tests, but sometimes there's exceptions and purposefully difficult questions in there to get you. Class averages for this course are low, but there should be a curve.

I LOVE Anyika. She's sassy, but you can tell she cares about you if you so long you put effort into learning the material. She tests you on things that make you really think cause it's not just practice problems from the textbook. She's totally a fair tester. ATTEND OFFICE HOURS they help so much.

I love Professor Anyika so so much! She is extremely caring and puts in a lot of effort into her class and into helping her students understand. Office hours is a very helpful tool where you can solve problems with students and Mercy will guide you along the way. This way you really learn the material instead of her just giving you the answer!

Professor Anyika has been my favorite professor. She is extremely caring and will help her students understand the material. She will sit with you one on one until you understand if you ask her. Ochem is a hard class but if you go to office hours, understand the practice problems, and go to office hours you should be fine. Definitely recommend!!

I enjoyed taking this class, definitely recommend for those who want to have a strong foundation in chemistry! Midterms and final were very fair. All the problems found on tests were variations of the practice problems in the textbook (she posted scans of these w/answers too). I also liked how she posted the answers to midterms so we could correct.

I loved Mercy! Structured her class in a way that we could undertand the difficulties of chemistry. Midterms are worth more than anything else in her class. Make sure to do the aleks, also worth a lot. But overall a good class, in prep for Chem 1A. She's so fun and charistmatic.

She is a good professor overall for CHEM109A. I do think she could improve on spacing out the content better (ex. some lectures were too dense and fast and others were repetitive), and those random grade emails before quiz scores came out were unpleasant. My favorite part of taking her class was her humor. She is such a mooooooooooooooood.

Anyika is fairly new and seemed to had a rough start the previous times she taught, but I found her lectures to be very clear and fairly easy to understand. There was plenty of resources for practice outside class and the exams were fair, although she does like to sprinkle some trick questions here and there.

I honestly don't understand all of the hate towards Anyika. She is a decent lecturer and does the best she can considering how difficult of a topic organic chemistry is to grasp. You need to put in work outside of the class if you want a good grade. Her tests are very reasonable, most of the questions are taken from the book or lecture.

Prof was great at explaining simple concepts and creating a positive environment for ppl new to chem, but I felt she never spent enough time on the harder ones/stuff that actually appeared on tests. Midterms (3) and final heavy with mandatory sections, but those really helped anyway. Definitely great prep for 1A, tests structured just like theirs.

As the lowest level class, Mercy was great at explaining the basics of chem by using analogies. She was willing to provide help outside of class with office hours, and her jokes made the class enjoyable. She always came in with a happy attitude. Glad I took this class because it prepared me a lot for 1A.
