She's an OK! teacher... She dont relly do much in class. Exams are basically from the notes and the review sheets. Just do the review and read the notes and you should do fine. She lectures as if she has memorised stuff and just puts it on the board for us to copy. Good for lazy students like ME :)

Do not take this instructor if you are interested in learning CHEM. lectures are from her notes, she gives you time to copy them but never goes over the information. You learn everything on your own. NOT for those who want to learn.. easy passing grade if that's all you want.

I took her for CHEM II (Inorganic II), Spring 2006. I had mixed feelings about her..until I got my "A", that is. Let me start off by saying that if you are a lazy MF'er, you'd better run for the Hills! Do all your home work, do the Lab, do the silly-ass Internet work and your Project, and you will get an an "A". And she didn't care alot about me.

CHEM1411 & CHEM1412 were not easy, but with some effort you can do very well with this teacher. Take notes, work the problems, study, and you will make an A or a B. If you're at San Jac and you can't pass it, take it here. It's worth the drive and the extra expense. This teacher makes it alot more bearable. Be friendly to her and you'll be fine.

She does not like answering questions. You can tell by the way she looks at you. Often, her frustration will show and she'll start venting by raising her voice about how she can't believe you still don't understand the material. She needs to remember that we haven't been teaching chemistry for 17 years like her.

If you are not self-motivated and determined to get a decent grade you'll NEVER survive this class. She give's a lot of work, doesn't fully explain things, races through lectures, & yells a lot so you don't feel like asking too many questions. My 2 cents: DO THE HOMEWORK. It's the only way you'll get through the course and keep up with the material

EASY. Few quizzes. No Webcam Required. Great lectures. She gives you chances for extra credit. Accepts late work. Super respected teacher. Not many people showed up to the online class, Im not sure if it was required or not. Great professor overall. She understands life is hard and doesnt over do the course load like most professors.

No meetings in this online course. Her communication to the class is confusing at times. If you really want to learn, I don't suggest this course. You literally learn on your own. She does provide sites & powerpoints, but you still need more information. Four hws that count as reviews, four exams, one final. Exams require lockdown browser & webcam.

This profesor is very lazy. She gives no lectures you have to teach yourself everything. you just read from the textbook. She only grades you based on test reviews and tests which are worth 60% of your grade there is not much room for failure. worst Professor do not take her. And she lies about giving extra credit or curving the class grades.

I signed up for her class based on these reviews, big mistake! Worst online class Ive ever taken, get ready to teach yourself (really). No lectures whatsoever! Powerpoints were provided and exams were posted, thats it. Very little room for error, I had to study hard and pray that I knew enough. Good luck if you decide to take her.

ONLINE CLASS: Very responsive teacher who wants you to succeed. Tries to help you through some tutoring program, which I didn't use. If you do the exam reviews and get the basics of all the questions on the review, it's a pretty easy and straightforward A. Also helps that she drops the lowest exam grade for there is room for error.

She doesn't give many assignments; the majority of her assignments are tests and reviews. Her tests and reviews are very similar.

I wish that her reviews were a better representation of the actual exams. There were few questions that either came from the reviews or were similar to them. The majority of the exams did not correlate to the reviews which makes you feel unprepared for the exams. I would not recommend her as a professor.

You have 4 reviews, 4 exams, and a comprehensive final. I took this class online and unless you are good at Chemistry or unless you are willing to pay for tutors, try to teach yourself, and cry daily, this class is not for you. She posted about 50 links and said "here, learn this". No lecture videos, not even helpful when I emailed her, nothing.

The labs are online (videos), so u follow along in ur lab manual (which u have to buy). She frequently wouldn't respond to emails & when she did her answers were unclear.

It feels like she is babying chem1 bc she said we hadn't learned right. It was disorganized & hard from the start. Prof reads off the book and exams don't follow the lectures. The guides are a little helpful, but only if you teach yourself concepts. Exams are basically your whole grade lab hardly saves your grade especially if you don't do well
