She prides herself on being a tough grader, thinking that it also means she's a good professor. She's not. Often incoherent, hard to reach, and tests don't reflect what's assigned or taught in class. I'm sorry I took her class. Avoid if you can.

I had her for CHEM105 which covered general chem, bio chem, and organic chem in one course and she was amazing! I would 100% recommend her to anyone scared of chemistry. She uses common language to explain the process and she's pretty funny. She genuinely cares about her student's success.

Her sense of humor keeps class fun. Tests are hard but that obvious, its ochem. I loved her teaching style and think people give her wayyyy too much hate. Take queen anyika if you want to make ochem slightly less painful

Great professor, clearly explains O-chem at the highest level of depth, preparing you for all future coursework. Tests are hard, make sure to take notes at lecture, read the textbook and do all practice problems!

Do not take her for 109C! She is very discouraging and her responses to emails are rude. She acts like she is so wise in terms of the subject, yet she frequency makes mistakes and always has a lame excuse for it. Right before a midterm, she said the test would easier than any English or Spanish test ever. The average ended up being a 65.25%

difficult only because its ochem, but I loved her. Her lectures are highly organized and structured. if you do textbook problems, you will be golden for exams (they are very similar, if not identical). Don't be fooled by my A, I worked my ass off for it, but its not unrealistic, I got a 62 on the first exam and was still able to pull it off

I don't understand the hate. Anyika is easily my favorite professor at ucsb. She cares a lot about her students understandings and has taught me study habits that I will use forever. She will scare you into studying harder which ended up making me enjoy ochem way more.

Class with her was one of the most difficult and discouraging experiences I've had. Class averages were consistently low, which made it clear that this was not an isolated issue, but a systemic problem with how the course was structured.Exams were unnecessarily hard with no partial credit, making it nearly impossible to do well despite preparation.

obviously ochem is hard, but mercy didnt even try to make it any easier. if you really REALLY put in the effort an A is possible, but just try to take it with someone else if you can. that aside, i actually didnt hate her teaching and her tests werent unfair, just difficult

Personally I found her to be a very difficult professor. Her lectures were very bare and she expects to teach yourself all of the content and use lecture as review. She's also very discouraging in office hours and in lectures. I would need more than two hands in order to count the amount of times she told us we were going to fail the tests.

Anyika is a quite poor professor and I am tired of acting like she isn't. Her lectures do no better at teaching than the textbook itself, her test averages are consistently significantly lower than other OChem averages, and she fails to prepare students WHATSOEVER for her exams. do well on the first two because the third quiz and final are awful.

This has to be one of the hardest class I have ever taken here at UCSB. The content was already hard and messy but Anyika made it harder by hiding crazy tricks in her tests and I dislike how points were either all or nothing. The final was destructive to say the least but the curve she gave was very generous at the end of the day.
