Now listen. This woman has a lot of controversy over her regarding if she is a good prof or not. Overall she will make you understand chemistry and probably make you like it. BUT her tests are incredibly difficult, to a point where you will feel incompetent. Overall MY EXPERIENCE has been great. Having her as a prof was incredible and I liked her.

If you aren't a science major and are just fulfilling a GenEd then don't take her. She is rly kind and will answer any questions you have and you'll understand most concepts. The issue is that her tests are MAD hard every Q on the test will be 3x harder than anything practiced. She gives mystery credit so play nice and ace the national exam.

Dr. Rogers is a very very tough professor. If you truly want to do well in this class you have to prove that you are willing to go far and beyond. Tests are TOUGH, and you will make bad grades in this class. Besides that, Dr. Rogers is an excellent chemistry professor and she wants you to succeed.

Dr. Rogers is a great prof and wants her students to understand the material so most topics are thoroughly explored. She's super chill and kind but writes tests with a passion so study hard. That being said, the tests are very rewarding if you do prepare. Notes are very organized and will occasionally involve students in lectures which is a plus

For CHEM 111, Dr. Rogers will definitely prepare you for the type of problem solving and thinking involved in the MCAT, standardized exams and upper level courses. She designs her exam so that you will really have to understand the concepts instead of just memorizing. Shes very energetic and up lifting.

I had Dr. Rogers for Chemistry 111 last year, and although it was a difficult class, she is more than willing to work with you. Getting to know her personally will help you in the long run. She is there to help you, and she sets you up for more difficult classes that come later in your college career.

Professor Rogers is such a great teacher. I had her for lab and she gives the best feedback so that you know what to fix for the next assignment. There is a lot of work outside of class, but that is how lab can be. However, she is a really fair grader and explains things so that everyone understands. Definitely take her if you can.

Dr. Rogers is sweet and fun but her tests are hard!
