The way she taught and organized her slides were SO thorough and easy to understand. She does not put any concepts on tests that she has not gone over or were not in the recommended book problems/section worksheets. As long as you pay attention AND do the book problems, you will do amazing!! She is hilarious, funny, genuine, caring!!
Class is fast-paced, so I feel as though I grasped the material better outside of class by going over the notes. I appreciate that she does a good amount of practice problems. She has her silly moments too. You will have to put a lot of time outside of the lecture to understand the material.
Definitely recommend this class for people who don't have much previous chem knowledge. I learned a lot from the course and don't regret taking it. Mercy can seem a little intimidating and present concepts in a basic yet overwhelming way but if you do the textbook problems at the end of each chapter (notably the cumulative ones) you will be fine.
Somewhat enjoyed lectures because she's funny and sweet, however the way she broke down topics didn't click for me as I didn't take chem in high school. Very straightforward on expectations and preparing you for Chem 1A. However I didn't find asking for help very useful, when i didn't get a problem she only told me which concepts I need to review.
She was great for intro to chem. Does a good job at explaining chem and setting you up for 1A and how that class runs. She is good at helping you understand topics you need help with. very funny and sweet. def recommend if you know nothing or very little about chem.
Prof can come off harsh, but she is hilarious and genuinely wants her students to succeed. This class is definitely challenging if you don't have much experience in chem. You really need to attend every lecture and section, and go to office hours (can't stress that enough). Highly recommend textbook problems before every exam. Good prep for 1A!
She really does care for you and wants you to learn. There are 3 quizzes and 3 midterms plus the final, make sure to attend lectures (iclickers) and book problems and aleks. Course is honestly easy, just need to review consistently for the tests (and some self-teaching). She is very clear about her grading and expectations, and sets them high!
class was SO hard. i put in hours everyday to do good in this class including going to office hours and talking to my TA and i just couldn't get it. coming from someone who got a 103% in chem in high school it's very humbling to be in this class. the lectures were so fast and everything was just so difficult. 9 weeks is too short for chem. unreal.
I loved taking this intro chem class with her. Very dedicated to ensure we all understood what was expected of us in her course, how to get help, and what to expect in the courses after CHEM-25. Had a lot of personality that made lectures tolerable & she seemed to enjoy her job. Very manageable course if you put in the work. 10/10 experience.
Her lectures are very informative, she has an accent but it never hindered my success. We had homework due every Sunday 3 tests 3 quizzes and a final. The tests and quizzes are not the worst just make sure to study! USE OFFICE HOURS! If you are not confident in your chemistry skills TAKE THIS CLASS since it will prepare you for chem1A! good luck!!!
Great Professor for CHEM 25. Cared a lot about her students and genuinely wanted to help students learn chem. Highly recommend!
She's the sweetest and genuinely cares about her students, I would 100% take her again. I hate chem and it's a hard course but she's a fun professor to take it with. her grading is fair and doing good in homework helps ur grade. it's chem which sucks no matter the professor but she makes it okay, just be prepared to study at least 2 hours a day.
