The best teacher in the school I would take her again if I could

She can teach well but its a hard class.

This is a hard class but Sister Hanks works hard at her job and you can tell she really loves the subject. Easy to follow notes and lectures, although tests are difficult. I overall thought it was a fair class.

I thought that Sister Hanks was a great teacher. Her class was somewhat difficult, but chemistry is a difficult subject. I thought that Sister Hanks was very helpful. She was always willing to answer my questions and stop what she was doing to help me. I would definitly take another class from her.

Great Teacher. Works at fast pace, but hey it's college. Classes are going to be difficult. That's how you learn. She is always in her office ready to help. She also answers any questions you might have. I would take another class from her in a heart beat!

Hanks was the best chemistry teacher here! The notes she made for us were extremely helpful and perfectly clear. She gives you homework to do for practice but not to turn in. She makes sure you understand things, and makes chemistry seem a lot easier than it is. I highly recommend Hanks, if she taught 106 i'd definitely take from her again.

she's great. she give you all the notes form each chapter. and has practice problems for you. her labs are the best.

Overall she a great teacher...printed off notes everyclass, labs are easy...no homework, but recommend doing the practice problems...test are hard but if you study you'll pass! the class average for tests dropped lower and lower as the semester went on, be prepared to put in A LOT of hours for this class...I'd take her again if she taught 106

Sis Hanks is a great teacher. She gives you notes that you have to print off and as she lectures you fill in the blanks which I found very helpful. There is no hw, but STRONG recs on doing the q's from the text. Lots of quiz and a few test q's come from the text. Make sure to do well on labs and quizzes and your grade will be decent approx B.

Face it. Chem is HARD, BUT Sister Hanks is AWESOME! She explains things so clearly and makes the subject easy to understand. Prints off notes to help you study. The course is very well organized. My favorite chem teacher yet! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I really enjoyed Sister Hanks. Chemistry in general is a hard subject and you have to be dedicated to work hard but she does a good job presenting the material. She also does a lot of experiments and "Fun Monday's" to try to make class fun. She's great!

This was the first chemistry class I had ever taken. I got an A-. Her notes are clear and concise. She makes the class interesting. If you want to do well do all of the homework, and make sure you understand it. She's willing to answer ?'s outside of class. You only use the textbook for homework, don't purchase it, check it out from the library.

She knows what she's talking about and is very understanding. She's a good teacher and the other ratings are too harsh on her. I liked her!

These ratings are very harsh. She is a wonderful teacher. She may seem like she doesn't want to help you, but if you go to her office before or after class she is more than willing to help with whatever you need.

LOVED Sister Hanks! I had never taken chemistry before but she tailors towards beginners and is very good about explaining the basics and making sure you understand. Do all of the homework and study the notes she provides and you'll be fine. She was always very willing to help me. Her excitement for chemistry made it easier for me to be interested.

I knew nothing about chem before her class and she made me get it. She was clear and was there to help when ever. She took 1 or 2 days out of class before the test to review everything that we covered for the test. If you try and go to her for help then you will do well in her class. If you do not try then you might not want to take chem.

Sis hanks is awesome. really goes out of her way to make sure you got it down. She has her office open alot, she takes the class period before tests as study sessions. Her tests arent easy and dont expect to go in thinking your getting an A for nothing but she has fill in the blank notes so you cant get better than that. i liked her. take the class

Sis. Hanks is an amazing teacher! I hated chemistry in high school and when i got to her class she made it so much easier to understand. She is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS willing to help you! She teaches chemistry really EASILY and teaches it to you like you havent learned chemistry, she dumbs it down for everyone. Her test are easy too!I loved her class

I cannot believe how immature some of these comments are. You are in college. Expect to work. Sister Hanks is actually the one I owe for helping me gain an interest in chemistry. I felt cared about in her class. She wants the best for her students. She is a good teacher. She will help you understand. It doesn't hurt to show a little interest.

VERY TIME CONSUMING! Do not take this class if you do not have the time. Sister Hanks is a very helpful instructor, but know that you will be spending a large portion of your semester on the HW assignments.

I really liked Sister Hanks. She is helpful and willing to talk to you. But don't argue with her- because her way is always the right way. The class over all is super hard and takes hours each day for homework- be prepared for Aleks. I would suggest having some background knowledge of chemistry before taking this class.

Sister Hanks' chem 101 class uses Aleks (an online computer workbook), and working in Aleks sucks. It just takes a long time, easily 4 hours a week. Her class time is good, she provides fill in the blank lecture notes, and you can ask plenty of questions. Sometimes I feel like she treats her students like little kids. But overall a good class.

Sister Hanks is a great teacher! She explains everything in a way that is clear and easy to understand. Chemistry is a difficult subject, but she is always willing to answer questions. The notes are fill in the blank, so if you study them, you should do well on tests. She is a sweet heart. Plan to work hard. You will get the grade you earn.

I am terrible at math and had no knowledge of chemistry but sister Hanks made it possible to pass. She is intimidating but is very willing to answer or "dumb down" material for her students. It's a hard class and you will spend HOURS on the homework!!!

Sis. Hanks is AMAZING! She really cares about her students and will do everything she can to help you succeed. Chemistry is hard, and she recognizes that many people struggle, so she explains everything really well. If you want to do well, ask questions, pay attention, and study. You get the grade you work for!

Sister Hanks is a great person to take chemistry from! She is extremely well organized and she doesn't make you buy a textbook

Sister Hanks was an awesome Chemistry teacher! Plan to spend A LOT of time working on this class (5-10 hours per week). If you put the work in, you will get the grade you want. She is always willing to go out of her way to help you. Her tests are hard, so study hard. The online portion of the class is miserable (Aleks), But I enjoyed this class.

-No text book, bur there is a write-on notebook. -Fun teacher willing to help if you can find the time to meet, but very hard tester. -FYI, don't miss any of the mid-term days or mole days, you will hate life if you do. All homework is all online, and no late assignments received. -She uses i-clickers to take role.

Sis Hanks is a great teacher. Chemistry is tough as it is, but I felt like she did a great job preparing students for tests and she always made herself available. She is very passionate about chemistry and really wanted her students to understand concepts. No book required, HW is all online and saved my life in understanding the material.

Sister Hanks made Chemistry easy to understand. The way she teaches the material is very clear and she does tons of examples to make sure you understand the concepts. She can be pretty intense but it's because she's passionate about chemistry.

Sis Hanks is awesome!! She's super enthusiastic about the topic and she definitely knows what she's talking about. If you show up to class, take good notes, do the homework, and ask questions, you're pretty much guaranteed at least a B in the class. But you have to do your work & not expect an easy A. But she's great & I highly recommend her! :)

Sister Hanks was one of my favorite teachers. She is tough on you, but she is there for anyone that has questions and you can tell she wants you to succeed. Come to class, ask questions, and do your homework on time and she makes chemistry easy to understand because she is so passionate about it.

This is my first time taking a chem class ever and enjoyed it. Do the online homework given which helps so much and you get 100% on it if you complete it all. Always fill out what is basically a study guide for your tests in class that she gives you, and this study guide helps you know whats coming up next in class. Do that and tests are easy.

Sister Hanks is as good as you can get for Chem 105! The class itself is not easy, but she will help you every step of the way, if you ask for it. Willing to repeat herself often until everyone in the class gets it. She already made her own notes and you buy it and its fill in the blank during lectures. Kind of dorky, but a great teacher!

The class goes by slow. Sister Hanks will help you after class because there is a lot of extra time after class. She can come off as aloof when talking to her privately, but the class is easy as long as you go to class, work on aleks, and look over your notes every night.

Sister Hanks is one of my favorite teachers ever. She is a huge reason why I study chemistry. She is tough but fair. She loves what she does and she is great at explaining things. If you take her class it would be wise to get the lecture notes, you will thank me later.

This class is hard. It's meant to be. She is really good at explaining things and helping you out. SHE GIVES YOU A NOTE OUTLINE THAT IS KILLER HELPFUL AS NOTES AND FOR TESTS! She's a very strict grader, doesn't budge, and offers almost no extra credit. It's hard, but I've learned tons. Take her class. It'll be hard, but it's the right one for you.

Sister Hanks has a bad rep, IM NOT SURE WHY!? She is super caring and just wants us to get As! She may not be the absolute easiest teacher but she also helps you learn a ton! She also explains things clearly and simply(which you need for chemistry). I would take her again.

Sister Hanks explains things in a way I could understand. She has her own textbook/notes book, which is basically fill-in-the-blank. It makes keeping track of everything really easy. She also uses ALEKS, but is helpful in explaining how it works. She has an obvious love for chemistry, which makes it fun to listen to her.

She's a good professor to take chem101 from. She is willing to help and answer your questions. The only thing I hated was the homework. You have to do it in ALEKS which is so annoying, but it makes sure that you know the material. Overall, it's a slightly difficult class, but I would recommend it from Sister Hanks.

Sister Hanks helps out her students whenever they need it. She goes over the subject very well. You are expected to do the work. It can be tedious, but it does help with the exams. She provides the notes for you, which is awesome, and there are practice problems that help you understand it better. She is a wonderful teacher!

My favorite professor of all time. I love sister Hanks so much. She teaches very clearly and makes sure the whole class understands before proceeding. The study guide book she has everyone use is amazing. Take sister Hanks. You will learn so much.

Sister Hanks is a wonderful teacher. I came into her class know nothing about Chemistry and being pretty scared about the subject as a whole. The way Sister Hanks clearly taught the material really helped me develop a firm grasp on chemistry. Just listen in class and do the homework and you will do well.

I loved Hanks. Attend every lecture. you will not understand homework unless you do. Put time and effort into your Aleks assignments. You will see the same format of questions on the tests! Know Aleks inside and out, AND do every single practice problem in the notes. Do that and you'll get an A! I did and I struggle with chemistry. She does care!

I was terrified of chemistry but Sister Hanks makes it so much easier. I am not a math or science person. Sister Hanks is easy to understand and work with. She is always willing to help. You can email her anytime and she does not care how many questions you go to her with. She is AMAZING. She doesn't talk down to you either.

I'll be blunt: She is not for everyone. Her tests are hard, she is kind of dry, and Chem 105 is just not a fun class. No test curves. Literally just goes through a book she made page by page every day. However, I appreciated when she was up-front saying that we had to memorize certain things. It helps. Study ALEKS like crazy if you take this class.

Sis. Hanks really wants her students to succeed and is available to help. She can come off a bit gruff sometimes, but she has good intentions. Her teaching is clear and to the point. She tries to also include things in her lectures that make Chemistry fun. She is a great choice for this class. Just do the ALEKS assignments and you will do well.

Sister Hanks is a great teacher, she is the "author" of the required material for CHEM 101 so she knows exactly what to teach you for the tests. You will need to attend class, as there is participation points. The homework is long however. There will also be a unit where you will have to memorize like crazy FYI.

Sister Hanks is a great teacher and you really learn a lot in her class. One thing that I didn't love about the course is how hard the tests are. But Sister Hanks is always willing to help and is available to reach at many different outlets.

Great teacher! Chemistry is challenging, but Sister Hanks explains things very well and I felt like I always had the resources to succeed. I liked her "fun Fridays" (Especially when she blows stuff up). This is NOT a "study a few hours before the test and you'll do fine" kind of class. You need to make consistent efforts every day.

I don't know why there are so many negative reviews for Sister Hanks. Chemistry courses are difficult but I was glad that I took it from her. Though she may be a little quirky, I've found a lot of her advice helpful on tests and she is very caring for her students and wants them to succeed. The only way not to succeed in this class is to not try.

Sister Hanks is awesome! She cares about her students' success and is very accessible outside of class to help you, but does not offer extra credit or raise your grade. The grade you get depends on the effort you put in. If you go to every class, take ALEKS seriously, and do all the example problems in the notes she gives you you'll do fine.

Sis Hanks is the best professor I have had thus far(i'm a junior). She's super clear w/what u need to memorize. She uses the program ALEKS for homework. Attendance is required. Her textbook is rly helpful. She wants u to pass the class and will work w/u, and rly cares about her students(u can reach out to her for help w/things other than chemistry)

Professor Hanks gives unit notes that are very helpful when the tests come around. Homework was given and most of the content on tests were from homework and the unit notes. She is very caring and is always willing to help you improve your grade. She and her TA have lot of office hours to answer questions. They even go over the test with you.

No curves on tests and you really have to study. I took her class through zoom and I wouldn't recommend this course fully online. The only assignments we had were ALEKS (free 100 if completed them), attendance(5 pts a piece, free 100), and tests. The tests get you. As long as you study and fill out the guides during lectures, you'll be fine.

Sis. Hanks is great! I honestly have never seen a more organized teacher. Her curriculum is very fine tuned and thorough. People may think I'm crazy, but I really like ALEKS. It is a great way to practice the material. She is an awesome teacher and she will always answer questions no matter how silly. Just pay attention and don't miss a class:)

Sister Hanks is great! If you follow her lessons, she explains things thoroughly. When there is something you don't understand, she will take the extra time to help you get it down. Any chemistry class would be difficult, but I think I was successful because of her teaching. Put in the work to get good results!

I like the way that she related chemistry in ways that applied to the real world. She is also VERY clear about what is expected. She warns you of things that are tough, and tells you what needs to be memorized. Class moves fast through material, but it's do-able.

I was super worried about chemistry since it is a hard class but she made it as easy as you can make it. She started off really basic with rounding and basic chemistry terms which made me feel really smart and I could actually do things. The homework is based off of exactly what you do in class so just make sure you follow along with her notes.

She taught things thoroughly and makes sure that you understand everything! If you aren't understanding anything, ask and she will go through and reteach it to how you would get it. Her tests are a mix of hard and easy. DO NOT USE ALEKS to study for exams!! Use the Unit practice Q's from class. That's where she gets her questions from.

Sister Hanks has been one of my favorite professors. She is very clear in CHEM101 about what you need to memorize, answers questions well, and is always willing to take time to help students. She has got teaching down to a science and is fun to take class with because you can tell she loves chemistry and teaching others about it. 10/10!

Sister Hanks is amazing!! Although some of the material may be hard, she is so detailed in her lessons and really tries to help every student understand. She has a notes packet that is mostly fill-in-the-blank type of notes and it is so helpful! She is a fun, caring teacher that works hard for her students to have what they need to succeed.

Sister Hanks was an amazing teacher! I was nervous going into chemistry because it hasn't been my best subject but she made it as easy as it could be. Don't get me wrong, it is a hard class but if you are willing to put in the work and go to her for help she will be more than willing to help. She provides the resources but its up to us to use them!

Sis Hanks is a great teacher, especially if you are nervous about taking a chem class. Homework is light if you keep up with it and exams are exactly like the homework, so you won't be thrown any surprises. Everything she teaches you is preparing you for the final so if you go to class and get your homework done, you don't need to worry.

Sis Hanks is an amazing professor who truly cares. If you are willing to put in the effort to improve she is ready to help you. The difficulty of this course isn't because of Hanks, it's the department. No matter which professor you have you will run into the same stupid standards. Sis Hanks does her best to make the course as easy as possible.

If Sister Hanks is rated 4 or 5 on the difficulty scale it is BECAUSE CHEM CAN BE TOUGH not her teaching. Sister Hanks goes out of her way to make the foreign language of chemistry easy to understand for anyone. She wrote up an entire notebook for students. She lets class out 5 minutes early so those struggling can ask questions. ect.

Sister Hanks is a great teacher. I see negative comments here, but I believe this is because students didn't do the necessary work that was expected of them and they are mad that she didn't do their homework for them. If you do homework, attend class, and ask questions, you won't do badly in class. I love Sister Hanks. She understands her students.

I had sister hanks, and while i wasnt the best student (i slept in a lot) i looked forward to her classes. she is a very kind person and very good at teaching intro to chem. i would recommend a study buddy, but all material is covered in the class, and she has office hours to help struggling students or to answer questions

Professor Hanks is a great teacher who goes out of her way to help students understand the material. While the course can be challenging, she provides lots of support, including office hours and supplementary resources like unstuck ai to help with study prep. As long as you put in the work, you can succeed in this class.

She is an absolutely amazing teacher!!! I struggled with chemistry and worked with Sister Hanks to get better in the first half, she's very open and willing to help everyone- I just gave up halfway through, that's my bad guys. I would have a higher grade if I hadn't.

Sister Hanks is amazing! I have a hard time learning, but I understood the concepts from the way she taught! Everyone has a workbook, and we fill in the blanks with her lectures. She also lets us out early so that people can stay and get help if they need. It's clear that she cares about our success.The tests were pretty tough,but that's chemistry

Sister Hanks can be seen as tough because she doesn't believe in changing your grade from an 89.9 to a 90, but if you do the work and show up to class, you'll be fine. The tests are not very difficult and she has printed out notes that you follow along with and fill in the blanks. If you are a good student and do your work, you will be successful.

She is a good professor. She uses her own printed out notes that you fill in the blank which I think is very helpful. The class is set up in a way to succeed. You get unlimited attempts on basic tests and if you get a 90+, you get bumped up to 100. You definitely have to study and put work in, but it is doable. Some of the homework can get annoying

Sister Hanks was awesome! She helps you out with any question you have. Ask lots of questions! Lectures were fun and engaging when we asked questions. I learned a lot. Sister Hanks cares about your success. Lots of resources available. She responds to emails incredibly fast.
