TAKE VAN KOPPEN! She is fun, enthusiastic and AWESOME! She turns chemistry into FUNistry. She is awesome and makes you learn the stuff with an ease in lectures. She makes the hardest subject easy. Her tests are a little hard but she is best chem prof

van koppen is the best. i was thinking of transferring because i didn't think the chem program at SB was that great.. but after having van koppen, she's inspired me to stay the full four years.

GREAT Prof...highly recommended...extremely encouraging and certainly makes one enthusiastic about this subject...wants everyone to do well and learn...she understands that life needs a healthy balance and actually promotes fun- safe fun that is...

Encourages everyone to do well. Probably one of the best professors at UCSB. Very enthusiatic and wants everyone to learn and succeed. A real inspiration.

Van Koppen likes to talk a lot about chemistry so she knows whats up. You have to study for her tests and know your ish. She also likes to talk about her mother country so be prepared to hear some history.

MONEY.. Makes class interesting, but tests are hard!!! She does a very good job teaching the class and gives lots of handouts of equations and all kinds of notes you 'll need for tests...which is why tests are so hard though. It's a double edged sword.

very helpful, with student, really cares and wants everyone to do well...gets really embarressed very easily...its funny to see

Van Koppen is amazing! Her lectures are great and she really cares about her students. It's definitely worth it to take her class - even if it's earlier in the morning!

REally awesome teacher and person. She truly cares for her students and wants them to succeed. Super helpful

she makes lecture a little more exciting than most of the other dull professors. her tests are not too hard either.

GREAT Teacher! Actually makes you somewhat like chemistry. Lectures go by fast. BEST chem teacher in the school.

She is great, makes chem clear as chem can be. Great with demostrations and has a snese of humor

The best chem teacher EVER.

Kickass lady

Easy A if you have taken AP chem in high school. Lectures were about as interesting as you can make chem. Know how to read and apply formulas given to you and you are fine.

She is way into her material and teaches an excellent class.

SHE IS THE BEST!!!! I actually enjoyed Chemistry for once in my life!

Shes the best...shes famous...!

Good lectures as far as chem goes. Test are not very hard if you know the material.

She blew stuff up during lecture. If you need more than that to convince you, there's something wrong with you.

You dont have a choice if taking Chem Lab

She puts a lot of work into her lectures and labs, and it shows.

She rocks my socks off.

great lecturer... and HARD tests.. but DANM it feels good to do well..
