Dr. Amany Saleh is one of the best professors that NOVA has to offer. Not only is she super helpful in her lectures, she also provides additional office hours for anyone who requests them. Her tests are very straight forward and fairly graded. She also provides study guides that the exam is based off of. Not to mention, she's such a sweet person!

I've taken her class for chm111 and now chm112 and I have to say I would have never been able to grasp chemistry concepts without her lectures! She also gives study guides before every exam and does her best to answer questions even if they're about concepts we should already know.

A truly amazing professor. She has so many tips and tricks for memorizing/understanding hard concepts that I'm sure even high school students would be able to understand organic chemistry thanks to her! Super nice and caring as well and answers any question you could possibly ever have during lectures and office hours. Tests are straight forward.

Professor Saleh is one of the best chem professors ever, for every chapter she made us personalized study guides which were super helpful to study for the exams, literally have never had another professor do this for a class. Before the exams she would give us the key so we could go through the study guide and make sure we were on track. Love Her!!

She made the class feel like it was in-person even though it was synchronous, and was constantly trying to use the white board functions and go through the problems step by step. Normally, online classes are hard for me to follow but hers wasnt. She is a great example of how professors should be teaching now.

Best choice to take for chemistry professors at NOVA. She makes the class so simple and gives you everything you could possibly ever need in order to do well. Great lectures, great way of teaching, and she's such a great person. I definitely plan on taking her again for the rest of my chemistry classes.

Lectures are difficult to follow and the material is dense and difficult. I did well in the class because the exams are exact questions from the review but i don't think I learned a lot. Homework is very difficult. She is willing to meet outside of class to answer questions.

Literally the sweetest prof. ever!!!! I don't get what her bad reviews are about, in class she encourages every student to participate and ask as many questions. She wants to make sure you get the material before walking out of her class. take this class, all you need to do is show up and do the work (especially the studyguides) and you'll do well.

She is a godsend, I actually took orgo before and really struggled with the material. She was able to make the material click for me, and I am so greatful! Take her class, she offers really helpful studyguides, extra credit, and was super fast responding to emails at any time! Also, she has really OH and will go out of her way to meet with you.

She's so accessible which is a hard thing to find, especially now. I think her average response times to emails was under 30 minutes even at around 10pm which was really nice. Go to class and do the study guide and you'd have to purposefully answer wrong to do badly in this class. She works thorugh every problem as well so you understand the steps.

Orgo is meant to be hard, but prof. saleh puts in a ton of dedication to make sure you understand what is going on and why. Orgo is a class that a ton of people dread (myself included) but she makes it seem less like a foreign language. She also had a great attitude with all of the students.

She is the sweetest professor ever. She has quite literally made all my previous chem professors look mediocre in comparison. I am so sad she doesn't teach at my home school, now all other professors will have to live up to her and I don't think they will be able to. Do yourself a favor and TAKE HER :).
