The lectures were fairly entertaining, but were held on BBB. There isn't really any homework, all points came from exams and papers. The papers were not bad at all, 2 page minimum and 5 page final paper. Not that hard of material, just put in the time. Test corrections happened once in a while. Nice professor and is always willing to help.

It is hard, no question about it. There are 50+ points worth of EC. Study worksheet packet for each chapter. 4 exams, 5 quizzes. 90 minutes for exams, 30 for quizzes with a 15 minute grace period to upload. I see these bad reviews; honestly, they looking to blame the instructor for poor grades. Tons of videos and lectures are recorded.

Ok so. This professor is very challenging if you aren't good at chemistry. For our section her class lectures were recorded so we didn't have to attend class. The quizzes are timed and I felt a bit time pressured and I even ran out of time. A lot of extra credit. I didn't have to use the textbook at all. She was kind to our class lol

Personality: nice and makes a lot of jokes. Teaching style: Must master material. Exam questions were complex, but she does give partial points. Must practice a lot to do well in class. Expects you to have prior knowledge of material so will not cover certain topics. Overall, do not take her if you do not have 10-13hrs a week to study.

I took Professor Hudson for CHEM103 and loved her. I decided to take her for CHEM121 because of the great job she did in 103. The info in 121 is easy in the beginning, but towards the end of the semester very difficult. She skipped through a lot of stuff assuming we knew it, and would always tell us to rewatch the recordings if we didnt understand.

I absolutely love chemistry; I'm becoming a chemist. I casually read about it in my free time, and this class was extremely difficult for me. The tests felt like going into battle. Beware if you take a little longer to work out math problems. The tests (and even quizzes, sometimes) feel designed to trick you. Do EVERY practice problem.

The lab was very easy. Honestly the experiments she does in this class are ones 5th graders do. So if you want to learn, this is not a class for you. If you just need it for the credit, take it. It is kind of a waste of money to just learn what you've learned in elementary school chemistry. The professor is quick to respond and explain everything.

Prof. Hudson was great! There was only 1 HW due each week, and 1 group work assignment done in class. She is always available for office hours. You need to put time and effort into watching the lectures and paying attention in class to pass the quizzes. The HWs were tricky, but she will always help if you ask.

Doesn't show effort in teaching. Feels like she is showing up to get a paycheck. Tests are super hard,words the questions in her way so no one can cheat but words them horribly that I couldn't understand what she was asking. She didn't want students to have the recorded lecture online if we were going to have lecture in class so she deleted them.

She is very inconsiderate, does not care for her students at all. I had to go to emergency surgery and she dismissed me when I asked for other options to make up for the works I wasn't able to do, which was mandatory after each class. So I was forced to attend with barely any recovery and was told I couldn't take them.

Dr. Hudson is a great person and is very understanding. The only downfall to this class is the lack of prep for the tests that she requires (4 exams). The problems in the class were kind of similar to the ones on the slides, but you definitely have to read the book and do the textbook problems to be successful in this class. Do well on the papers!
