CHEM25 . Anyika M 2 Days Ago

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!

CHEM25 . Anyika M 9 Days Ago

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!!!

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.

CHEM109A . Anyika M 6 Months Ago

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.

CHEM109B . Anyika M 8 Months Ago

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.

CHEM109B . Anyika M 8 Months Ago

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.

CHEM109A . Anyika M 10 Months Ago

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!

CHEM109B . Anyika M 10 Months Ago

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!!

CHEM25 . Anyika M 11 Months Ago

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.

CHEM109A . Anyika M 1 Year, 1 Day Ago

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.

CHEM109A . Anyika M 1 Year, 1 Day Ago

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.

CHEM109A . Anyika M 1 Year, 3 Days Ago

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.

CHEM25 . Anyika M 1 Year, 4 Days Ago

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.

CHEM25 . Anyika M 1 Year, 4 Days Ago

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.

CHEM25 . Anyika M 1 Year, 6 Days Ago

Prof. Anyika was encouraging & supportive with a great attitude, but wasn't the best at explaining the harder concepts appearing on exams. Most of that came from the ALEKS hw and mandatory sections (with a great TA, thank you Priscilla!). Class has 3 midterms, 3 quizzes, & a final. Would rec as a refresher/intro to college chem before taking 1A.

CHEM25 . Anyika M 1 Year, 10 Days Ago

She is a good professor, but the lectures were sometimes confusing; she gave examples for easy questions (one example per question) but went over them too fast for challenging questions. The tests are not too bad, and the Aleks homework is probably the most difficult part of this class. My TA was the GOAT and explained concepts better.

CHEM25 . Anyika M 1 Year, 15 Days Ago

Professor Anyika was a great professor, however, sometimes her lectures and explanations can be confusing. if you go to office hours, ask questions, and do book problems you can pass with a good grade. Most tests have a couple questions from the book so it's good to practice those.
