Awesome teacher. Great at explaining and makes lecture interesting. 85% = A-/A/A+. Willing to curve to help students get A. Quizzes, midterms, and final similar to HW (which isn't turned in or graded). Easy if you study and read the book.
You'll have to work hard, but you won't mind doing it. She is a great teacher, and she'll help you in anyway she can. I really appreciated her willingness the answer questions, and she sends very helpful practice e-mails. Good luck!
Very good teacher, but the grading is a little tough.( first midterm is easy, second is hard, but the final helped me out a lot )
Not an easy class but a great professor...take her anyway you will be glad the work is worth it
this is definitely one class i didn't look forward to, but after going to her first lectures, i knew it wouldn't be so bad. she's a really funny professor who really has a true passion for teaching. she is definitely the best professor i've ever had. sign up for her class
She's a great professor. She knows the material and she earnestly wants all her students to learn SOMETHING. She has really cool experiments too. The tests aren't easy. Take her class!
great teacher, very helpful, she's hard but you really learn a lot, and it's def not impossible to get an A if you stay on top of things
van koppen is a great professor, she truly wants students to learn the material. Just make sure to go to class and do the problems
Fun teacher because she did some cool experiments. The quizes seem easy then the tests are hard so watch out.
Nice, helpful teacher. It's always fun when she does experiments in class. You have to read the textbook before you go to class though and her tests are incredibly HARD. :) --> that's a sarcastic happy face
Very interesting. Quizes are pretty easy but the tests are very difficult. Go to CLAS and you'll do 3 times better than you would if you didn't.
Van Koppen is the best teacher I have had so far here. She really wants her students to understand and succeed in her class and she has a great sense of humor.
Teacher not only cares about doing well in her class but also about doing well in college and getting involved. She prepares you for everythig and if go to CLAS you will Ace every test. Any teacher that makes learning chemisty interesting... ROCKS!!
Amazing teacher. Really cares about students. Rational and practical teacher. Take her over any other Chemistry teacher if you have the opportunity to, you will be making a mistake otherwise!
Best chemistry professor!. take her!! you won't regret it!
Best professor i've had so far! She is so enthusiastic and fun. Even causes explosions during class! Attend lecture for sure, sooo entertaining and also clearly taught. SHe is an amazing teacher and an even more amazing person!
Van Koppen is so nice and she is very clear and helpful. Her grading scale helps you out a lot and her ADD is so cute.
Dr. Van Koppen was really one of my favorite professors. Even though her class is tough, I enjoyed it and learned a ton. Shes also a really nice lady, go talk to her in office hours and you'll get points on tests.
Better then any other Gen Chem Prof
wow, everyone else already said it. great teacher rather than an instructor.
A teacher who really inspires student. She explains the materials clearly, and with passion. She never hesitates to help students understand certain concepts, and very committed to help students to do well on the tests and earn highest possible grade.
Van Koppen must not need an explanation.
She really cares about student success and she makes chemistry interesting to learn. Even though her tests are more difficult than the other professors', I still prefer her to them
Van Koppen is the best Chem prof ever. See all the other comments, they are so true. She really stresses problem solving, know how to do the problems she presents and puts on practice tests, cause they show up. Seems like she really cares student success.
