Awesome professor, will help you as long as you ask, do the HW even if its not required, it will help, read the chapters, she's great, but it's Chemistry, you have to try. She does talk fast, but that's the best way to get through a Chem lecture with all the material that needs to be covered, she is the only one to take. She's hot too!

First off, biochem is hard, duh'da'da. So if you think your gonna have an easy chem150 class good luck! Dr. Gray does go a little fast but she gives you the power points and the tests are directly off them, u dont even have to open ur book, not to mention she gives like 10% EC for basically being in class

This is a very helpful teacher especially when you visit her during her office hour. Her tests are hard if you do not read and easy if you get the basics. She gives pop quizzes for extra credit which is great and a term paper (group work). Take her if you know how to read.

She's a very easy and helpful chem prof, though the class itself is a bit difficult. She gives extra credit and gives you powerpoint slides. She also gives study guides and goes over homework(extra credit) questions with you. This professor is very nice and she even went out of her way to help some of her students in their lab classes.

I suggest going to lecture because sometimes she will change the test date or give out extra credit. Do PRINT OFF THE NOTES!! She talks fast and then sometimes adds or takes out info. so printing them off is the easy way to go. She does not mind answering questions and will do so thoroughly. Great Prof.!

Remember the subject folks it is not easy to begin with so you must put in the time to read and study the material. If you expect her to do everything then no wonder you did not do well.

She is really a great teacher, tells you exactly what you need to know for the exams and presents it clearly there is no fluff. She also gives a ton of extra credit and will clarify if you ask She does talk fast but if your on top of it its not a problem. She is not immature at all I am a girl and she is just as nice to me as she is a male

Best teacher I've had at Fresno State. Knows the material very well, cares about her students and is a very effective teacher!

I would suggest taking Gray. She Talks a little bit fast, but there is a lot of material to cover. She has pop quizzes worth 15 EC points each. 1 b4 each exam. Exams are not too bad, but EC makes class easy. Also, she has a review b4 every midterm and tellls u what u need to know.

This is by far one of the best instructors I've had at Fresno state. She is hard, but if you work hard, it's all worth it

This class is hard however she has been a great inspiration and teaches well. She does tend to talk fast so I suggest recording her lecture. There are 4 exams, 1 final, and several quizzes. I suggest reading the chapter/reviewing her lecture notes prior to attending class. It is possible to get an A in this course if you dedicate your time. H

Dr. Gray is a great professor. I was not so sure about taking the class due to some negative comments; however, I am pleased to say that I am glad I took her. This is not an easy class to pass, but she definitely teaches well, so yes you do learn the subject well! She provides study guides that help to achieve an A in all exams! I earned an A.

She's very amazing teacher and vet helpful! Some say she goes fast but to me her pace was perfect! She's so nice and caring, I would totally recommend her! Wish she taught chem 1b!

Talks fast but always willing to stop and clarify if you need, so ask! Tests can be challenging, but it's all material she covered, so make sure you study. She's a good teacher.

A lot of people found this class difficult but it was easy for me personally. I ended class with above a 100% because she gives plenty of extra credit opportunities. She teaches well and has clear expectations. She even gives tests from previous year as a study guide. Really enjoyed her class.

Great professor and passable class but you really have to study if you want an A. Multiple choice exams with online hw for every unit. She does hand out practice exams before each test and chapter worksheets which are very helpful. Lectures are long and fast, Id recommend recording them.

Fast paced class, but appropriately so. Go to class. She gives a lot of extra credit. She's a very clear but you have to think and understand the material. It's a pretty easy class (if you took the 3a3b series, it'll be a bit harder). Also, taking physiology and genetics first would make this class a breeze.

Who ever wants the real deal read this. I liked her style she had all her lectures on power points, gave examples when lecturing, gives out extra credit, and has a study guide. The study guides help tremendously for tests BUT sometimes the tests would be harder. Going to office hours helps a lot. In order to get a good grade you have to STUDYYYY

Dr. Gray is one of the best professors I've ever had. Yes, she does go fast at times but overall she's great! Lectures are great, she gives a study guide and a practice test for each of the 4 exams which can be tricky if you don't study. If you don't understand, just ask! She'll explain without a problem. She also gives extra credit. DO IT! STUDY!

Dr Gray was a good instructor for a challenging course. She does however speed through her lectures so you have to keep up but she will stop and clarify if you didn't quite understand something. Homework is online. She has a quiz after every chapter. Tests however are HARD make sure you study well in advance for them.

Dr. Gray is a fine teacher who knows her subject well, does her best to make you understand material that both you and she know is difficult, and is easy to talk to. Yes, she talks very fast when she lectures, but doesn't blow her stack or even get annoyed if you interrupt to ask a question. Do the work, study hard and you should be fine.

Dr. Gray once again is my favorite professor! Had her for Chem 1A, decided to take her for Chem 150 and I'm glad I did! Her lectures are very helpful and she will gladly explain if you're lost. She offers extra credit. This class is A LOT of memorization and she did her best to make it easier. Gives practice exams and study guides for every exam.

Really good teacher, but you have to study her lectures, she writes her own test, i would recommend recording her lectures. Doesn't curve, some extra credit opportunities, provides study guides for test

She's honestly a good professor but what makes this class hard is the fact that she does NOT curve at all! You really have to work hard for your grade and try to do pretty well on all of the exams! My advice take advantage of the extra credit she offers as well as the hw ohh and go to class!

Dr. Gray is very nice but also very firm. Lots of homework but offers extra credit points. Daily iclicker questions so attendance is mandatory. Lets you replace a test for a better grade but if you do worse on the exam she uses the lesser grade. Very very quick lecturer. If she doesn't cover something you better read cause it will be on exam.

I took this course twice with her the first time was tough i got a D but it was my fault i was also taking physiology so it was hard to balance the two courses. The second time around i stopped skipping class and actually put in the study time and it was fine! She is fast paced but she tells you exactly what to study for the tests and gives EC!

I really liked this class because she was super organized and everything was clear and straightforward. You knew what to expect for every test bc the practice exams were very similar. Quizzes weren't too bad basically like the iclicker questions in class. Attendance is mandatory. HW is kind of irreverent (the tests are easier) and sometimes a lot

great professor. would recommend to anyone. just show up and pay attention. i also would recommend printing the notes out before going to class. Go to SI, it'll help understand things if you aren't getting it

Fast talker but is more than happy to stop and repeat if you ask. She gives a review handout for every chapter and the studyguide for each exam is the exam she used the previous semester so you have a good idea of what type of questions she asks. Don't skip lecture, you will miss a lot! The book is needed much as long as you pay attention.

She talks very fast. Get used to it. I'd suggest printing out the slides because it's difficult to keep up by hand. She has a study sheet for EVERY chapter you cover. There are multiple chances for extra credit. Personally, I didn't need the book, but show up to class. She gives plenty of information on her slides. Online HW involved.

"You should remember this from Chem 1A" is a line you will hear multiple times. She goes super fast, print out the lecture note ahead of time. She assumes your chem 1a class went through every chapter efficiently enough to keep you up to her speed. Our first exam averaged a 68, but since 1 person got a 100%, there was no curve added.

A good professor & knows what she's doing. Goes through everything you need to know so its really important to listen during lectures. Be in class because iclickers are used for participation & quizzes. She has study guides & practice tests for the tests which help. For example: 1 question from a practice test was on one of my tests.

Biochem was difficult, but I enjoyed it. If you want an A, you will have to work for it. Do ALL of the worksheets that she provides. We got an awesome SI leader and she was incredibly helpful. Gray covers a lot, but she also tells you everything you need to know for her exams. I wouldn't take biochem with anyone else even if they were "easier".

Uses iClicker for participation and quizzes! Straightforward with her lectures, exams are quite challenging. Stay on track or you will get lost, the lectures build up on itself. HIGHLY recommend going to SI Sessions. It's the equivalent of AP Chemistry just university level. Office hours were alright, online hw & textbook optional.

Dr. Gray is an amazing professor. There is a lot of content to cover so the class is fast paced and memorization heavy. 4 quizzes and 4 exams (don't underestimate quizzes). Online homework is short and sweet. Lots of extra credit and opportunities to improve grade. Study her slides in detail! She is very clear about what you're expected to know.

Fast talker a lot of work has to be done on your own time, not enough time in lecture. She tries to cover everything that will be in the tests. Participation matters, clicker tracks attendance and gives points. Quizzes are done through clicker. She is genuinely a good professor and person and demands to be treated with respect and seriousness.

If you don't show up for lecture, there's little chance of doing well on the quizzes and exams. She'll tell you ahead of time what q's may be on her tests, so you'll want to pay attention. She gives some opportunities for extra credit, & is overall a good professor. However, I fell behind due to a death in the family and she was less than helpful.

Failed once, taking her again, almost never miss pts on quizzes, clicker ?s or exams. Breezes thru slides but WILL clarify. JUST ASK! Uses erroneous results from possible mistakes as answer opts for exams. People who slander her are only bitter! Her intense rigor is justified, especially for STEM majors! I treat SI like a class component like lab.

Have taken Gray 3 times. Cares about you actually understanding material. Make a mistake while solving a problem? She takes those into acct., puts them as wrong answers on exams. NOT to be mean, but if you're going into a STEM career, you need to know what you're doing. She wants you to learn from it. I'd ALWAYS take her class if I saw her as prof.

Professor Gray is really great for Chemistry. She does lecture fast but she makes her PowerPoint slides available online so you can print them out and follow along. Takes attendance by using iClickers. 4 Exams, 4 Quizzes, and 1 Final Exam. She makes chemistry so much easier to understand. Highly recommend.

Take her class, you won't regret it!!!

Dr. Gray is an amazing professor!! She has a fast paced lecture, so come prepared. She also uses i-clickers, so if you want to get those points make sure you read the material and practice before the lecture. She has clear grading criteria and wants her students to succeed in her class. Go to her office hours and SI for extra help!! A great class!!

Dr. Gray is a great professor. She is up front and honest about the class. Biochem is hard, so you will have to put the time in to be successful. However, she makes it seamless and very clear what is expected. The only thing is that she goes extremely quick through some parts, so be sure to skim the chapter before and after lecture to review

Dr. Gray is a great professor and knows what she is talking about. Bio chemistry is very hard. I did not do so well in her class because I had a hard time understanding the material but she is a good professor. Extra credit and worksheets are offered so make sure to do those.

Dr. Gray is one of the best science profs Ive had in undergrad. Youll learn a ton of useful information in this class for your future career. She separates the course by macromolecules which is VERY helpful. She talks fast, so get used to that. Offers a lot of extra credit so take advantage. Highly recommend, but get ready to put the time in.

Okay, so Professor is easily the best Professor I've taken at first state. Her Lectures are incredibly helpful, and she knows how to teach. her tests are very difficult but she gives out so many practice problems and resources to help. If you take this class seriously, you will not only pass but also learn chemistry well.

the BEST!

MC Gray raps super fast like others say due to how much material there is to go over. Not the hardest course if you study and stay on top of mastering chemistry. Chegg only goes so far so make sure you know how to do the problems. Keep doing practice tests til you understand and it shouldn't be hard to get a B or C.

Took AP chem in high school(got a 4). Problems are simplified compared to that(don't have to use multiple units together). If I didn't have to go to class would have skipped. Gray is a great teacher and knows her stuff. My advice is if you don't understand concepts go to SI, go to office hours, most importantly do practice problems until it sticks.

100% recommend this class!! Go to lectures, pay attention, study and you will succeed. There are no tricks, just study what she says and you will do well!

Loved Dr. Gray! She talks fast but explains everything well. She knows what topics are harder for her students and spends more time on those. You get a lot of points through iclickers so you need to show up to class. She helps you if needed to complete these iclickers. There are mid-unit quizzes and 4 exam plus a final.

Since we changed to online format due to the corona virus. It has made the class alot easier that she records lecture and you can replay in whenever you need to. I do agree she goes through lecture quick, but she does explain it really well.

Professor Gray comes off as an intimidating teacher since she wants everyone to put effort into the class. Chemistry is not easy, the effort you put in is the grade you get. She does lecture fast there are a lot of chapters to cover. If you don't get something go to her office she will go over it in-depth. She's kind and willing to help if you ask.

She is great professor. Bio150 is not easy course you have to study hard. I recommend all student to take all the extra credit. prepare power point question before class. The text book is helpful.

4 exams, 4 quizzes, and the final. This professor is the absolute definition of clear when it comes to what will be on exams. Her exams and quizzes are very in lined with what are taught in lecture. She assigns clicker questions that are graded every class and end up being worth the same amount as one exam. DO EVERY SINGLE EXTRA CREDIT, it adds up

Gray is an gem for students who are not chem majors. Super nice! 4 exams and a final which is easier than the exams. Her Powerpoint lecture questions, practice exams, study guides, and exam reviews are clear about what will be on the exam. If you keep up and study the material there is no way you won't pass with at least a B+. Lots of extra credit!

The syllabus is crystal clear in terms of exams and quizzes. iclicker questions are at every lecture, make sure to do them ahead of time. Participation points are given as well as extra credit which helps tremendously. I recommend reading the textbook and taking detailed notes. Overall, good class and Prof. Gray is very knowledgeable.

Gray is well-versed and educated in Biochemistry, just listening to her lectures you can tell she knows her stuff. She recorded the lectures which was vital for passing the class. She goes fast, recorded lectures help to slow down and write down everything. Each thing she says is important for the test, and she is specific on what you need to know.

Bro if you don't practice the math outside of class you will obviously fail. The kids who say she's bad don't know what studying is lmao, SHE WILL LEGIT TELL YOU WHAT IS ON THE TESt, just go to class, do the hw without Chegg, and ask her for help if you need it, you will pass with an A

This class is very math-heavy. There are clicker questions through the lecture that go towards your grade and she lectures fast. She didn't do study modules and mastering chem, just modules. She does not tolerate cheating, and there's extra credit on each of the 4 exams plus the final. She makes it easy to pass and will help you if you ask for it.

Dr. Gray speaks fast, but this actually helped me pay attention and allowed me to stay engaged in class. LOTS of material, but this is useful if you have to take an exam like the MCAT. I also greatly appreciated Dr. Gray taking the time to re-record her in-class lectures and post them to Canvas. LOTS of extra credit. Best professor I have taken!

Amazing professor! She is very clear and offers TONS of extra credit (do all of it!). This is a difficult class, but she gives you the tools you need to succeed. She gives students access to past exams with answers, study guides, and does review sessions before each exam. When lecturing, she emphasizes info you NEED to know for exams. Study hard!

Her anti-cheating methods with exams are a little extreme, but it's because of past students. Homework was dynamic study modules, there were clicker questions for participation during lectures, and there is extra credit on every single exam. Take advantage of it & offers to check work! This class is tough, but ask for help, and you'll learn a lot.

Dr. Gray did a great job of conveying what needed to be studied for each exam. Although the material was difficult, she is a great professor. You have to attend class to get iclicker points. She offers A LOT of extra credit. This class requires time but isn't impossible.

Good professor, but loads of work!! attend Si and office hours

Dr. Gray changed my life. The first day I walked into her classroom, I was very nervous and I thought I was going to fail chemistry. Thankfully, her lectures kept me awake in class. After the first test, I had a D in the class. But with the help of her office hours, I was able to raise my grade to A 99!!!!!! I highly recommend taking her class!!!

If Dr. Gray teaches Chem 1B, do yourself a favor and take her class. She lectures extremely well, and she offers tons of opportunities to boost your grade. This class does take work, but she is reachable in office hours, and she gives you every tool you need to get a fantastic grade. She does go fast, but if you take good notes you will do great.

Please join SI!!!! This class was quite therapeutic for all the math but it's a bit hard to understand. You must work hard in this class. Please go to her office hours. She is very nice and willing to help clear up any problems you have. Be prepare for the tests. Do the practice exam.

She talks fast, but the PPTs are good. Must attend SI / lecture to succeed. I would've liked an integrated textbook-homework system. Here's why: There are so many facts & pathways to memorize in biochem. It's been shown that testing yourself in spaced intervals is best to retain information. The HW she gives is too easy. The tests are quite hard.

Dr. Gray is an amazing professor who cares a lot about her students. She lectures fast, but explains things well and will always reexplain if asked. There is hardly any homework and tons of opportunities for extra credit, and she also gives good study resources for exams. However, she uses iClicker so attending lecture is crucial.

This class is fast-paced and there is a lot of work, but there are also a lot of opportunities to get extra credit. If you do the work and are willing to ask for help, it is really easy to succeed in this class. Be sure to attend lectures and pay attention, as the example problems are similar to test questions.

she is good.

Great teacher of a hard subject. Gives extra credit some of it can be hard though. 4 exams and a final. She gives you the resources to at least have a passing score on the exams. Quiz for each unit. Go to her office hours if you need help. She wants you to pass

Dr. Gray was my favorite professor this semester. She talks fast but if you need her to clarify she does it with no problems. She offers a lot of extra credit so if you need to make up points you can.

Amazing professor! Even though she talks fast, she really cares about her students and will even clarify the lectures if needed. She offers so much extra credit as well with each exam- 4 quizzes, 4 exams, one final. She also uploads video lectures with each chapter. Just study and you will pass this class.

Professor Gray is EASY! MCQ tests in the Testing Center! HW is online through Pearson (100% if you just complete it). She gives a ton of extra credit per unit test (my grade was inflated). She lectures fast, just pay attention and do the iClickers! She provides her old tests as practice problems for her unit tests! They mirror each other.

Tough class, but Prof. Gray offers lots of extra credit to help you pass. Attend lectures and use unstuck AI for study prep - it's a game-changer. Overall, a challenging but manageable course if you stay on top of the work.

Attendance matters and will hurt your grade if you don't attend class. There are lots of extra credit opportunities that will save your grade. Homework is somewhat helpful but this course is test-heavy. There are test reviews that will help and she is always willing to help during office hours. Although this course is hard, she is great.

Easy to understand and engaging. Can talk a little fast, but she's just into it. Will answer all questions if you ask, even if you're off topic. Has review sessions before tests. LOTS of extra credit!! Exams in test center, but flexible on when you can take it. Friendly, kind, and funny. Will do a separate rating for the lab, which is not Dr. Gray!

Her practice tests were very similar to the actual tests. There's lots of help if you look for it. Just a difficult subject.

I love Dr. Gray. She is a great lecturer and is inspiring to me. Do not listen to those who claim she is not good. She is quite knowledgeable and gives many opportunities to practice. She has previous exams and worksheets posted. Just study and you will do well. I would recommend her for both Chem1A and Chem1B.

She was very direct with her lectures, which were always available to be seen. Class went a little fast so you don't want to miss a day. She gives extra credit before every exam so it is an easy letter grade bump. As long as you study, you will do fine.

Dr. Gray is tough but fair. Her lectures were very clear and direct. The test questions are very similar to the practice test questions, which I really appreciate so I didn't have to guess what I needed to study

Exams were not easy but all the information comes from her slides and she explains the material really well.

Great professor and NO HOMEWORK required. Honestly a really easy class as long as you are paying attention and taking good notes. She does talk a little fast but gives you a lot of examples/practice during class so you should be able to understand what to do. UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS behind the math because the class is MATH HEAVY. STUDY A LOT

As someone who's always struggled in chemistry, I can say she is the first professor to help me actually grasp the subject. She offers resources, great to meet with for office hours, easy to approach, and gives no homework. Her exams are very heavy, she at least gives the grace of extra credit but studying is necessary if you want to pass.

Great teacher- actually learned biochem!
