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

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

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!

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.

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.
