She is a good teacher, always willing to help her students. Do your work and you'll be able to pass this course with a good grade.
Ms. Cook is a cool teacher but the only thing is that she requires way to much for just a lab. every class you have a quiz on the lab your about to do. then you have to keep a lab book and then do vocab and then a 3 page lab report on all the labs. too much for a lab. take Willis or Yohonas
She's the coolest teacher and so nice! Keep up with everything and you'll pass with a high A
She is a very nice and helpful teacher. She cares about helping students and not just failing them. Even though the workload is quite intense, it is relatively easy and worth an "A" in the class.
You will not be dissapointed....But she need to slow down while she is explaining stuff. Grading is not easy but you will do very will. I recommend.
Ms. cook herself is the bomb. but her class....nope. i guarantee 1.)you will pass 2 out of the hundred quizes 2.)you will fail the majority of the 5 page lab reports(that you do for every lab) 3.)get frustrated because of the workload of a 1 credit class 4.) realize you should have took willis.
she is a greattttttt instructor,i definetely recomned her. not tricky questions on exams, not tough on grading,and willing to work with students. she gets my A++++++++ rating all the way
she is such a great teacher! i had her for lab...and she was more helpful than lecture! she is very calm, very well read and is willing is help you. labs are fairly easy, and she walks you thru most of the way(if you have questions or anything) i highly recommend her. she's pretty too!
She is a very good teacher highly recomend taking her.
She is very helpful and nice, but she does grade really hard on the lab reports. I still recommend her though.
I have had three chem labs so far, and I couldn't find better professor for lab other than Ms. Cook. Her way to teach is efficient and easy. Just go for it!
She is soooo nice and very helpful. I recommend taking her.
Amy Cook is AWESOME!!!! you should take her for all your chem classes~!
Awesome, best teacher ever! She cares about her students. Ms. Cook is so nice and respectful, she is always willing to answer questions. Her lectures are organized and she gives you time to takes notes and ask questions. In lab she is great walks around and makes her self available for questions. Take her class!!!
Excellent Lab teacher...Polite, nice and always smiling....dude you guys out there if u you need to take this stupid chem class just take it with her although you would hate the chemistry but you would love the time you spent in her class. *WINK*
TAKE HER!!! She doesnt really require much and she's clear wen she explains the lab procedure. If u dont understand how to do the calculations she helps u. She's really nice too. But for real.TAKE HER!! I wish she taught 1212L too. I'd take her again.
OH MY GOD IS SHE REALLY A TEACHER!!!....If you ever see her outside the class you might confuse her as your fellow student...she is so nice and would help you do all calculations...always in a good mood and is the best person in the whole DARN world which you could find yourself as a chemistry teacher. TAKE HER OR QUIT CHEMISTRY!!!
very helpful and friendly! quizzes are hard- but they don't count for much- so you can fail all of them (which i did) and still get an 'A' - final was easy.
Ms Cook is very nice person. She explains very good and she is excellent teacher. Very clear with assignments and her quizzes are easy, not even mention the final. I did not even touch the book to study and still I got A. Highly recomended. Take her class, you will look forward the next lab.
Ms.Cook is a great teacher. She really explained things to the class. Plus, if you had any questions she would work them out with you until you got it. There is a fair amount of work to do, but you have plenty of time to do it.
She is a good teacher. She explains things well and her notes are very clear. She helps out her students. She is also a good lab teacher if you have to take a combo.
She is a blessing. She is the best science teacher I have had. She explains so good. There is no way you wont understand chem if u take her. I like her grading system of points. She makes sure everyone understands. She is very understanding if for some reason u have to miss class n trust me u wouldn't want to miss her class. Science is fun with her
She is a good teacher and explain her lab very well....easy A if u do ur lab reports and work during the lab setion...she is hot looking for a teacher....I recomend her very much, not hard work at all. For her lecture she is not that grate cause she use too much the book webpage outlines and talks some what fast about it. But an easy A in overall.
She is a wonderful teacher. Chemistry is a hard subject for many people but she explains everything very well and takes the time to go over examples and answer any questions you have. The lab is also pretty easy. Just make sure to do the pre-lab questions and fill out the labs every week.
She is very fair and explains chemistry so it makes some sense.
She is a GREAT teacher. Chemistry was a difficult class for me but with all Mrs. Cook help I pass with a B. She makes learning Chemistry easy. Her lab class was fun and easy also. She is always available if you need help. She a GREAT TEACHER!!!
1st things 1st, she is so so so HOT!!!She makes chemistry look very easy. Her labs are amazing. Every report turned in guaranteed for made it in the format she wanted, you would get 100%. Though we had a 5 question quiz every other wk, her labs were never stressful unlike other chemistry professors. She is very understanding.TAKE HER,guaranteed A+.
Mrs.Cook is a great teacher for people who don't really get Chemistry.She is easy.I failed every test in lecture and still passed her class.Also took her for Lab,easy A.
She was great and made CHEm so easy and went over the exam and made sure we understood and was so sweet and understanding to the entire cclass I love her wish I could take her in for 1152 but she not teaching it thats suck PLEASE IF U CAN TAKE HER
She's really cool and teaches very well. Her tests are easy as long as you pay attention to when she goes over examples. She's also very helpful too. If you have any question, don't be shy.. Ask her..
I love her. She is the greatest chem teacher ever!!!
great teacher. easy to follow. will help if needed pay attention, do WebCt
She Rocks.
though i'm taking only lab with her, she definatly is the best teacher at gpc. very nice and helpful. I hope she stays with gpc, so i can take lecture with her. God bless her.
very nice , helpfull and pretty, so you wont have any problems. I gurantee. Ms Cook is the best chem teacher in the whole world.
BEST TEACHER EVER.
She is awesome so nice and so helpful.
She went above and beyond to make sure you understood the material. I emailed her all the time and she always replied promptly. One of the best teachers I've ever had.
Amy Cook is the BEST teacher I've ever had. She will gladly answer any questions and is extremely helpful in both lecture and lab. You will love her.
Ms. Cook is an amazing professor. PATIENTS, NICE, Helpful and HOT! Honestly, Ms. Cook is a very helpful prof. She returns email ASAP! If you don't understand something she will break it down to you and never makes you feel dumb. Even after you're done with her class and you email her a question for help in chem, she will help! Ms. COOK, THANK YOU !
This is worst class that I have attended in my entire collegiate career. Ms. Cook is not helpful at all. Over half of the class visited the tutoring lab in one setting. This alone speaks volumes about her as a professor. What's the use in having someone teach a class if no one is getting anything out of it...I should have taken it on-line.
She is the nicest and best teacher ever. i HIGHLY recommend her lecture and Lab class.
The best professor ever.
THE BEST TEACHER EVER! Science has been the weekest subject overall for me and i heard abt ms.cook and drove from lawerenceville to newton campus for her classes...DEFINATLY WORTH IT! She is helpful, helpful, and helpful i got an A n trust me when i can do it..anyone can GO FOR HER CLASS!!
This is the best chem teacher ive ever had she speeks english clearly. she grades her test fairly and alwqays gives a 15 to 20 point curve on test. if you take her take her lab at the same time if you can she fantastic!
Professor is clear and concise. She will spend a lot of time reviewing before a test. She allows a lot of time just for questions from students and will do dozens of example problems.
She's a great teacher. I'm an English major, and I aced this class. She's low key and always finished the lecture 15 minutes early.
She is very helpful, and really wants you to succeed. Just perfect!
Mrs. Cook is the best teacher I have ever had!!! I went into her class knowing nothing about chemistry, and I got an A! She is very sweet and extremley helpful! I would take her again in a heartbeat!! She is Awesome!!!!!!!!!
She is a very fair teacher & has 4 or 5 tests. She drops your lowest test grade and each test has bonus points. Her homework assignments are easy, gives you tons of time to do them, and they count as test grades. there is about 8 of those, so if you don't test well, you can still get a good grade by doing these. she is also quick to reply to email
Awesome teacher, hard tests but study and you'll do well. Ms. Cook is a genius, she knows everything and anything about chemistry. Shes the best prof I've ever had, this class is the only class I dont regret attending. Ms. Cook helps you out when you need help, the quizzes are hard but not too bad, keep up with her notes and materials.
She's the best chemistry lab teacher: she actually takes the time to explain what you dont understand in person. She was very nice unlike other lab professors which suck
She is awesome! Best teacher I've had so far at GPC. I wish I had her for lab, but having her for lecture saved me anyway! Chemistry is a hard subject and she gives plenty of examples and will ALWAYS make herself available after class to help you more.
She was a great teacher..just do the homework and study and you will do fine. I got an A in the class and I was not a chem person
I made an 88 in her class and gave me the two extra points so i could get an A! best chem teacher ever!
The only reason I signed up for chemistry was because of the great reviews Amy Cook got. Only to find out that Amy Cook won't be teaching my CHEM class this semester.. So I'm not happy. Did she leave? Or is GPC just screwing over people who registered early?
Awesome Lab teacher! Very helpful and layed back. She looks like a student herself which to me makes me think she understands where her students are coming from.
TAKE HER! She is straight forward, makes it simple and if you study you will make an A. I had her for lab and class over the summer. I am very familiar with chemistry so I know what was I was expecting to be taught and she made it easy! Take her, study and you will make an A
They don't get much better than Prof Cook. Had her for lec & lab. She knows her stuff. Has a Master's degree in chem, but doesn't teach as if you do too. Laid back & helpful; slow on email reply, but so what?! Quizzes online with three tries each. Tests are straight from text so study. You're blowing it if you need this class & don't take her.
Ms. Cook is a really understanding teacher she is willing to work with you
one word to describe Ms. Cook, awesome, i took her for lab and she gave me all the help i needed, kept it straight forward with us. if u put in an effort in her class you will definitely pass with an A
one word to describe her she's awesome, and very helpful, taking her class which was a lab is the best decision i ever made.
ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT HER IS THAT SHE IS AN ANGEL WALKING ON EARTH..
Chemistry is definately not an easy subject, but with her you will definately pass if you try. She can help you understand it better than anyone. I would strongly reccomend taking her for chemistry because she is the best you get. I passed her class with a B in the lecture and an A in the lab.
She is definitely one of the better chem teachers. She just knows how to explain things in layman's terms and effectively uses analogies so that just about anybody can understand what she's saying. She is so HOT she makes u want to go to class b/c u never get tired of lookin at her, but she is also very smart and can answer just about any ? u ask.
Best chemistry professor at GPC!!! Great personality, very smart, helpful, nice and also VERY easy on the eyes...
If you want to learn Chemistry, if you find a chem class that is helpful you, you must take her class. if you take her, you never ever won't even think about "Chem=hard," "dont want to study,""dont want to go school". You will enjoy chem with her class. She is so smart and good at explain. You will lean chem with happiness.
350 word limit doesnt give ms cook justice. She is very nice and helpful will help you anytime you want. I hated chem before taking her and now i find it very easy. Remember NICE doesn't equal EASY! She is the perfect teacher she understands chem is hard so she teaches in a very helpful manner. And she is SUPER SUPER HOT! Cook=BEST TEACHER EVER!
This is the second time I had her and she is great. She always comes to class with a positive approach and very helpful and explains it so well. If only they could make clones of her to teach chemistry and it would not be such a dreaded subject. I would rank her in the top 5 professors at GPC.
She is really nice and kind, she is always happy to help,she does her best to help students out...recommend her class to everyone...
Do all your homework and study and you'll be fine!!! GREAT TEACHER
I took Mrs.Cook for Chem 1211 and 1212.I had A in all of them.She helped me with my work and she gives extra credit to pull your grade up. I would advise everyone taking Mrs.Cook to do some extra studying outside the class and everything will be alright.
She da best. Explains problems clear, breaks everything down, answers all questions, and gives lots of extra credit which you only do if you need it. TAKE HER! And when you pass, buy her lunch for being a rare breed (good teacher).
God she is the best professor I took since I enroll to college. I don't knoww what to say, she will help you as long as you want, and gives you extra credits to work on. BTW SHE IS EXTREMLY HOT, when I saw her for the first time, I Was like REALLY. TALKE HER IF YOU CARE ABOUT LEARNING AND GPA
she's the nicest prof ever. easy to approach, will answer every questions, will go over lots of examples during lecture and test is not that hard as long as you study. she always smiles.. and she's cute too! just take her!
The helpful Professor ever. The Owl assignments also help a lot. I can't afford to miss her for CHEM TWO. Take her if you need to boost your GPA.
Best General Chem Teacher Ever. Go to class. Participate. Take Notes and study. Do the online homework or you will be screwed. Take her for lab also. Really focus on doing the lab work correctly.
She is the most helpful chemistry teacher I have ever had. She is very understanding as well as she is an awesome teacher. Just go to class, review her extra practice problems and do OWL. OWL is a must because it is basically kind of 50% of your grade. Even if you do have an A in the class you will fail if you don't do the OWL. This class will help
Mrs. Cook is the best. She is good at what she does and she knows it,however she doesn't make you feel stupid when YOU don't know it. I wish Clarkston had insturctors like her. She is a GPC blessing!
Mrs Cook is so helpful and just a wonderful teacher. She comes to class with great attitude, answers all of your questions, and drops lowest test grade.. BY FAR the best teacher I have ever had. She loves her job and you can tell. Just do your part and it will pay off!! THANKS MRS COOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She really is the best teacher at gpc.
She is the best teacher ever if you're bad at chemistry like I am then you should take her she makes the class easy and she really cares about her students she also gives tons of extra credit take her
Mrs Cook is very helpful and has a wonderful attitude! She is understanding and just an all around good person. I wish there were more professors like her! YOU ROCK MRS COOK!
plz plz plz don't take him. she is not the best person for chemistry. she gives us a lot of home work. i took her in summer. i got a C. her tests are ok. but she is not the best person for summer.
If you want to learn and make a good grade, Mrs. Cook is the best chemistry professor GPC has to offer. She explains it in a way where everyone learns, plus she drops your lowest test grade and give tons of extra credit. I took her for 1211 lec and lab as well as 1212 lec and lab. I wish she taught Organic Chem.... You won't be sorry!!!
She works with you, tells you exactly what you need to know, and if you listen you should get and turn things in before the deadline you should get an A or a B.
BY FAR THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER! PERIOD. THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW! Very light on the work, doesn't take the complete 3 hours for lab, very helpful! Definitely recommend her!
They best hands down. She makes chemistry make sense.She post every thing done in class on i-college. Gives tones of examples so you WILL understand. Just a great professor over all.
My fav professor!Don't waste your time by looking for smb else for this course. Just rush to take her class cause it's gone in a blink.she is solving many examples in the class..offering bunch of extra credits..her lab is fun..She is the best in gpc hands down!
Great teacher!! Very friendly and helpful! I would recommend taking her if you need to take this course.
Prof Cook is the bomb! I took her for Chem 1211 and 1212 and I was glad I did. She made the class fun. OWL homework is a must though, but it helps you better understand the materials. She is approachable too if you need help. Drops your lowest test grade. You cannot afford not to take Prof Cook. I highly recommend her!!!
Amy Cook is one of the very best teachers I have ever had. She actually made me like chemistry because she can teach and I understood it. If you go to class and listen, do the online homework, and the extra credit, you have an A. You would have to work to fail!
cook is the best chemistry teacher because she does not make the course harder than what it is. many teachers make courses that r already difficult even harder. my opinion they set the students up 4 failure.cook is there TO help the entire class pass the course, as long as u do100% of ur HOMEWORK,EXTRA CREDIT& STUDY ALL THE EXAMPLES SHE POST ON ICO
Best Chem lab teacher ever. Hurry up & register for her class bc its going to fill up quickly.
She is an awesome teacher!! before I took chemistry and her class I was not interested at all, got in the class had no knowledge of chem and thought I was going to fail but instead I got an A!! Now I feel confident and comfortable, very helpful and sweet! There is no way you can fail her class unless you are lazy! I definitely recommend Mrs. Cook!
This class aint no JOKE!! IT REQUIRES A LOT OF YOUR TIME... TAKE HER ONLY AT THE RISK OF lowering your gpa! She was probably easier before but her class was difficult i BARELYYYY made an 80! :(
Take her! As with any college course you have to put in time and effort. She give review days and plenty of extra credit. She does give homework but its on McGraw-Hill Connect website.(Spring semester we were the first to test out this method) My advice is, as required, Read the ebook before class. So the next class meeting you'll have clarity.
Take her! if you're nervous about chemistry, she's very helpful, gives out extra credit daily, 4 test no quizzes, chem is not a easy course but she makes it less stressful....
Must take for Chemistry! She explains everything in a clear way, and her tests are similar to her notes. She also gives many examples in class and a lot of extra credit. Best teacher!
She has obviously done a complete 180 this semester. I signed up for her class because, based on this site, she seemed to be good at explaining things and did not want to trick students on her tests. Most of the class is failing right now. She seems excited to know that he class is doing so poorly. Her tests are NOTHING like the notes from class.
Don't look at the previous responses. She did everything entirely different this semester. Don't believe the "grade" curve she says to you, because it will not make any difference. Test are WAY TOO HARD!!!
she's not as easy as everyone thinks she is, but she is a nice person.
Hard class!!
shes is a good instructor compare to other instructors on the campus. She give out ALOT of extra credit. Chemistry is just hard in general to learn. She try to make it simple as possible, but its just a lot to take in. I recommend taking her for lecture and LAB. easy A and B as long as you put in the work just like every other class
such a hard class with this teacher too hard one of the hardest teachers in GPC
If you love science and have drive, you will probably ace the class. Do not leave hw till the last minute, study the power point slides. STUDY.
Her class is getting so hard her TESTS are one of the hardest chemistry tests in GPC If you care about your grade be aware of the TESTS they are so hard A lot of homework but that's okay Again her tests are becoming supper hard to pass
the class was tough. tests are getting really complicated. please try to avoid her, if you can.
Do not take her, unless if you want to major in Chemistry. YES, her tests are harder and class is already hard enough..
chances are that you will do really bad. I am a Chem Major and I would not recommend to take her for CHEM 1211 or 1212.. Her labs are getting tough too.
She was not who I thought she would be. Even though she is nice. Her test are getting harder n harder. she is tough grader. I bearly manage to pass this class. Do not take her if you are an average chem student.
She's an amazing professor, she is very thorough and explains everything in details. She uses acronyms and everyday examples to help students understand the material. Her tests (four)are very intense; however, it prepares you for the finals. She's ALWAYS readily available to help! Reading the slides before class is helpful. Best chem teacher!
well let me make it clear for you, just forget about what you have been heard or thought about Dr. Amy. she is so nice and one of the best teacher that I have ever had. she is very clear and on point. Have your ever had a teacher when you ask something the just go around ? Amy is very clear and she is always there to help you, but her testishard
well, I WOULD NEVER TAKE HER CLASS AGAIN. she seems&looks nice in person, but she is NOT. and yeah she does not care if you email her regarding something important.
My friends recommended her because they took her last semester and they said she's nice and helpful. I don't honestly know what happened to her this semester!!!!! She turned into another person. DO NOT TAKE.
forget whatever they said bout her, she totally changed. she is a nice person. her tests are REALLY HARD. her tests are nothing like what we did in the home works or class. too many home works, she also gives a lot of extra credits. I do not recommend her at all.
Gives a lot of extra credit and does not grade harsh at all in my opinion. Online hw is a bit tough and very tedious. She definitely prepares you for her test if u study hard enough as in any science class, Definitely recommend!
best decision!! omg she is the best! she was beyond helpful and very clear in explaining lecture. she gives extra credit!! she is really nice and funny i never loved a science class more. just study, show up for class, and ask questions you'll do gr8! you must do owl hw it's worth A LOT of your grade!!
I will say despite her great extra credit to help fluff your grade. Do not expect to come to class and not put in any effort. Chem is a challenging course. I took her for chem 1211 and 1212. She wants you to do well, She will give you the tools and help with a lot to boost your grade BUT you must put in work to understand. Take her, she is great.
She cares for all her students and wants everyone to succeed very well. With that being said do no expect a FREE A. You still must work for your grade. She will help you every step of the way. She is amazing.
Mrs. Cook is a great teacher who is very approachable. She explains the information in a way that is easily understood. During lecture she does more with applying the concepts and working the problems out together, not just reading from a slide. Come to class, do the assigned homework, and ask questions and you are on your way to a passing grade.
Easiest chemistry professor ever!so caring and offers a lot of extra credit. I took her for both chem 1&2.I wished she taught organic chemistry. Take her and you will never regret!!!!!!!
Best Professor Ever. Very helpful. 5 exams 50% of grade and she drops one. Homework is 30% but is easy yet time consuming. Final was not so bad. Take her! you will never regret! Best Chem professor Ever!
Make sure to do all the extra credit and it'll help to bump your final grade up at least one letter. Really nice and explains how to do the work, the OWL is tedious but she drops the lowest one. Will help you after class at her office.
Chemistry is difficult, but this is an excellent professor! She's super friendly and helpful. If you study, do the homework, and go to her office hours you'll do fine!
Professor Cook is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She solves a lot of problems during the class. If you practice her problems and OWL, you will do fine. Besides the final, she takes four exams. One for every two chapter. Try to get a good grade in these. The final is very difficult, has 70 questions and you only have one hundred ten min.
Amy Cook is the best chem professor at GPC. She teaches concepts very well and explains step by step how to solve each problem. Lectures are clear and she is excellent with helping students understand concepts. Pay attention in lecture and practice with homework and you will get an easy A. Took her over the summer with 3 hr lectures and was fine.
She's really good and understanding.
She teaches very well, but it's up to you to take really good notes. She will give her base lecture and teach you how to solve for things, using really test relevant examples. But small details she shares as to why this is this and that is that, you need to write down. Her test questions can be confusing but just worded in a different way.
Her homework was on knewton and it was overall annoying that i didnt do all of it. Notes were very sloppy and hard to understand so if you miss class its hard to follow. Her tests tend to be tricky by the wording which messed me up a lot. Take her at your own risk is all i can say but i personally dont recommend
She is the best chem professor. She explains everything in her lecture in an easy and understandable way. If you participate in class and pay attention, you don't need to study at home a lot. She offers a lot of extra credit; Overall, she is an awesome person and professor.
LOVE HER! She gives extra credit. Shes willing to help you with all your needs. I recommend her to everyone !!
Professor Cook is SO NICE AND SO STRAIGHTFORWARD! She is so clear of what will be on the test and she gives so much extra credit. If you do all the extra credit at the end of the semester she will put 2 points on your OVERALL GRADE AVERAGE! TAKE HER! Just always do her practice tests and take notes in class.
Professor Cook is an understanding individual whose goal is ensuring that you have the material needed for each upcoming class. Her lectures are clear and she ensures that you have extra assistance outside the classes (i.e, SI sessions).
Nice person, but would NOT take again. TONS of HW on Knewton (4-8hrs per CHPT), tests (10 free response questions), very lengthy to complete (8-10mins each), EXTREMELY difficult b/c she wants you to be a higher think. She stated that students usually fail her test which is why she gives TONS of extra credit (20 difficult question per Extra Credit).
These ratings must B for lab. I took her 4 lecture & lab b/c she had rave reviews 4 lab. Do not take her 4 lecture. Labs R self explanatory & she does not require much but a cut & paste lab notebook which u never turn in to be graded & 1 formal lab report. Run from lecture! Knewton hw is a beast & 35% of grade, hard tests, teaches & talks fast.
GREAT LAB: mini lab reports & prelabs each class, 1 formal lab report, can print & paste labs in notebook, 1 midterm, 1 final. LECTURE DO NOT TAKE. TONS of hw, class averages on tests Mid 30's-50's but gives lots of extra credit (in class 5 questions max, now online 15+ questions per chpt) for 10pts. Lectures EVEN WORSE since online COVID19. RUN!
Only way to pass lecture is with a paid Chegg account. PRAY classes are still online to use all resources. Knewton is impossible to finish: given 6 more questions for 1 wrong, 1 attempt & can't skip ahead. Tests hard, online we voted free response (MUST SHOW ALL WORK) or multi choice. Choose multi choice, get Chegg or fail hw, quizzes and tests.
100/10
Pre & Post COVID: What a blessing! Understanding & even curved our 1st test by 20+ pts cus "1st test don't go as planned". Drops low test & quiz. Attendance? It's chem, y won't you go 2 lass? No textbook, but don't do ur hmwk last min or it'll pile up! Tons of xtra cred 2 curve ur final grade. Had her for chem 1211, 1212, 1212L & got A's in all 3
Rcvd A in lec & lab but NOT b/c she is a great teacher. Plain & simple Chegg+internet+TONS of extra credit A's! Gave more work online e.g. in class (5tests, hw), online (5tests, hw, 5quizzes, 4 3page worksheets, 5discussions). Test & quiz grades WILL BE LOW, but Chegg+internet+TONS of extra creditpass! Online lectures too short. Lab EASY.
Awful now online! Took 22 exams/quizzes in 7 weeks! She was not accessible. Exams were from a randomized test bank that didnt match with lectures and not divided by subject. Some exams harder than others and had a lot of errors. Unfair. A lot of work and did not teach beyond recorded lecture that didnt cover what was on exams. Miserable.
You will do a lot of work in this class in regards to the labs themselves. She has you complete the lab, the pre quiz, the lab notebook and post quiz each week. The lab notebook entries are what takes so much time. Overall, she is great, and everything she has you do is to prep you for future Chemistry classes.
Lectures are usually clear and she was available in her office hours to help out with anything that was unclear, not much to say aside from the class being great.
I love Dr. Cook for Chem 1212 Lab. She always gives you the straight-forward information you need to successfully carry out your lab experiments and lab reports. Just the lab report, lab notebook, prelab, and midterm/final. She's also very responsive and truly cares!
During the long lectures she goes on many tangents which really throws off learn. Don't try to have a life outside of the course as the amount of work and busy work won't allow. She is very very very passionate about her work so you will also have to become an expert in all parts of the course to get full upper division science credits.
