I don't believe a prof can be judged on difficulty alone although I do think the test was extremely hard. Besides that, Dr. Crane puts everything she has into the lectures. You can tell she loves the subject and she tries to make the class love it too. If it wasn't for the exam, I truly think Dr. Crane is an amazing professor.

If you are ready to put a lot of time into studying her exams are not that terrible. She is so good at explaining concepts and tries to make students enjoy Chemistry.

There are 2 different sections, "overall quality" and "level of difficulty". Overall, many students agree that her teaching methods are great, she makes the material seem so interesting. I think her "overall" rating is inaccurate, but I agree with the level of difficulty.

Although the first midterm was hard, Angela did everything possible to prepare us for the second midterm. She focuses heavily on the concept side of things rather than the math side. She is very enthusiastic and makes content interesting. if you go to class, do CAPA assignments by yourself and put effort into studying you should do ok in the class.

Dr. Crane is lovely, constantly tries to make chemistry interesting for her students, has the best real-life examples and is super sweet and approachable. To those complaining about the midterm - she very specifically told us the exams are written by a team of people, not just her. I would take another class with her in a heartbeat.

Guys, she was a great professor, extremely kind and caring; the Midterm was an accident by the CHEM DEPARTMENT - not Angela. She was kind to prepare us REALLY well for the 2nd midterms and most of the students got 90+%. It was her first time at Dal, you guys were too quick to judge her. For any prospective students, Angela is an awesome prof.

The whole point of the First Year Chemistry program at Dal is to thin the herd. The course is intentionally challenging to prepare for future science/Chem courses. Dr. Crane got a bad rep because of the first test of the semester & had to spend the rest of the spring doing damage control. I really did enjoy her in lecture, you can tell she cares!!

Angela clearly puts in lots of work into her lectures. She likes to draw in real life material to make the concepts seem more applicable. The first midterm is hard but if you study hard there shouldn't be a problem. The second midterm is much easier. As long as you pay attention and go to class there shouldn't be a problem.

I honestly loved Angela - the first midterm is extremely hard however I think they purposely do it! Angelas teaching was great she prepares you for the exams but in order to do well you need to do ALL the practice problems and review as much as possible and its not bad at all. Loved Angela overall. Would definitely recommend.

Angela was super spirited and really helpful outside of the lecture. She was sometimes hard to follow because she moves quickly but she explains the subjects well and really helps you get into the material.

Angela is such a great lecturer. She explains the concepts really well and in depth. Very good at pointing out the nuances and important things that will make you do better. She truly goes out of her way to help the students, and is clearly passionate about chemistry. Highly recommend her as a prof, would love to have her as a prof again.

Her exams are fair, she really preps you for the worst so her exams always end up being not so bad. Best part is that her exams aren't long. The textbooks aren't outdated so USE THEM. Her quizzes are simple, do the minimum study for them and it'll get ya extra points. Don't stress, she's a fair prof, you just have to put in work. good luck!

Overall a good professor, however don't expect to not put in the effort and do well in this course. First midterm was challenging, but the second was much easier. The exam was a little difficult, so make sure you study hard for midterms and exams. I would recommend looking through the notes she posts online; they are an excellent reference.

Dr. Crane was awesome! So funny, so smart, super engaging. You can tell how much she cares about her students success in her voice. Provides lots of resources outside of lecture. Also tends to create her own examples similar to the textbook questions so you can use the textbook ones for practice on your own. Definitely recommend her!

Angela gets a lot more hate than she deserves. Yes, the exams are hard, but go to class, do all the CAPA questions, and read the book and you'll be fine. Her lectures are well prepared and she is extremely organized. Overall, she's a funny, caring professor who tries her best to make sure you do well if you're willing to put in the work.

Do not believe what you hear or read about her. Take the course and see for yourselves how caring and organized she is. Although her exams are a bit long it is not that hard if you were focused during the lectures.

Great prof, explains the concepts and techniques really well, however the examples she does in class are much easier than her exam papers. The tests are long and challenging and you might find yourself thinking Ive never seen this in class before. But shes a good prof regardless, very passionate about chemistry

Pretty good prof, tried to make class fun but ended up wasting a lot of time that we then had to rush through material to make up for. Does lots of examples though so helped. Midterms were okay but I studied hard for them. Gotta be committed

I loved this class so much with Dr. Crane. Of all my online classes, this was the only well-organized and structured class. Her lectures are very easy to understand. The homework, quizzes and exam are all at the same difficulty so there are never unfair surprises in material.

Dr. Crane was my best online professor this semester. The lectures were long, but organized and very helpful. The weekly problem solving workshop was incredibly helpful. Quizzes and homework questions are quite straight forward. However, the exams are a bit difficult because there are no part marks and each question is weighted heavily.

Very good professor. I enjoy their teaching style. Approachable. Could not have asked for a better professor. It is obvious that they have invested hours of their own time to make the most out of online learning. Chemistry was a true pleasure this term.

This is the only professor I had that provided lectures and workshops, she explained things in a way I could understand. As long as you watch the lectures and attend the workshops, the class is not that difficult. She is a great teacher and the only one I was able to say she supported me this semester.

dr crane was one of the best professors I had this semester. the lectures were full of examples and information that were relevant to the tests and exams. the workshops were very helpful with more examples so I was always prepared for things.

Had Crane for both CHEM1011 and 1012 in 2019. She is very straight to the point and very good at what she does and offers a million different resources in case you got lost along the way. The course, like any other chem course, is dense, but as long as you attend the lectures and do the work then you will definitely pass Crane's class.

People complain there too much pre/post class questions, but thats nearly a quarter of the grades up for an easy grab, you can submit answer multiple times until you get it on the pre class question which is worth nearly 20% of total grade. and your lowest exam grade can only be worth 5%, I mean if you dont study ofc you are going to find it hard..

The marking scheme is incredibly fair and allows students the opportunity to pass the class with an A even if you fail one or two exams. Dr. Crane posted asynchronous lectures for those who couldnt make it to class and they were extremely helpful

The grading scheme for the class made it really easy to get an A, provided you do put in the effort. This is a class that you'll have to review and complete work for a few times a week, as once you are behind it is tough to catch up. The material was taught in an effective way, with lots of support if needed.

Dr. Crane is great at conveying complicated concepts and accurately assessing material comprehension among her students. Dr. Cranes lectures are full of helpful examples which enabled students to immediately grasp the solution processes and theories she covered. She is always willing to answer questions and help students outside of class.

im not sure why she has such a low rating here, but i did find her to be quite a decent prof. maybe the issue is the use of CAPA. i found her lectures to be pretty good. there was a lot of practice material to aid the learning. highly appreciate that.

Dr. Crane is an excellent prof and despite the difficulties of CAPA, does her best to ensure that everyone does well in the course

Dr. Crane is committed to the success of her students and the accessibility of the class. Plenty of opportunities to raise your grade (group exams, in class engagement question) and get free marks. Exams were a little out of pocket for 1012 but there are opportunities to offset

Dr. Crane is very passionate about the subject and is a good lecturer. Amazing grading scheme as well with lots of chances to do better. However, all assignments/examinations were through CAPA, which was always lagging/glitching. Also, there were no partial points given on exams, which is a bit ridiculous for a chemistry course in my opinion.

really enjoyed chem 1011 even though I hate chem!

Really passionate, and lots of wiggle roomto get an easy A.

As a 2nd year science student who has taken this course with Dr. Crane, I can honestly say she has the best organization & communication skills compared to my 2nd yr chem profs. She has great teaching methods and thoroughly explains each topic. Initially, she wasn't my favourite prof but after comparing her to my 2nd yr profs she is outstanding.

Shes BK

At first the flipped learning style was daunting but as the semester progressed I enjoyed it. I found lectures went by quick as you had been exposed to the material and you got to use that knowledge to answer questions. The XP system was confusing but as long as you do the practice questions and watch the videos you can get an easy 100 on the XPs.

Dr. Crane is a great prof :) She explains concepts in a simple and easy to understand manner. The fact that it's flipped learning, there is clear and reasonable marking criteria :) thanks Dr. Crane for a memorable semester!

This course takes a lot of time and effort but Dr. Crane is a great help and always available for her office hours. Good luck!

You need to work on everything before class. Lots of work! Angela (5 stars) is a great teacher but the class itself was too much (3 stars).

Dr. Crane actually does examples in lecture and makes use of my time. She is also very personable unlike Dr. Andreas who I had first semester.

Though the flipped learning style is terrible, Angela Crane herself is an excellent professor. She explains things clearly and is always willing to help if you need.

she is good. the course is very accommodating to first years and she knows its a big jump from highschool. I think the material itself is quite tricky, but she does a good job of explaining it. lots of ways to get other marks besides exams. exams are hard tho cuz no half points... make sure you do good on labs and participantion points

Dr. Crane's lectures were amazing for 1012 because (opposed to 1011) she did examples in lectures that corresponded to the pre-class videos for that day. She thoroughly explains things and exams were fair considering they were chosen from practice problems. You can tell she wants everyone to understand everything! Amazing.

Not quite sure what's up with the dislike for Crane, I personally thought she was pretty good. The CAPA pre-class questions are pretty annoying, I will admit, but you can brute force half of them. Besides, you don't even have to do remotely all of them. I had to do a decent amount of self learning, but she was always there to help in lecture.

She provides an infinite number of resources and opportunities to practice and learn. She understands that there are multiple styles of learning and provides materials for each. She thoroughly explains all topics and ensures everyone knows where to go for help. She responds quickly to emails and truly cares about her students.

Angela Crane was a professor I felted mastered the teaching structure of first year chemistry. I personally enjoy the backwards learning used in this course. There were many chances to get extra credit, including the option to retake all the midterms. The variety of practice problems was amazing.

Although I dislike the reverse lecture system she uses where you learn contents before class, Dr Crane is passionate about what she does. There are no surprises on exams from what I've seen and you can retake however many you want at the end of the term if you mess up. Plus, she makes the lectures available on teams, and posts the recordings later.

Great lectures, lots of prep is required

I think Angela Crane has a system that works very well for first year chemistry at Dalhousie. She has many ways of assessments that allow for a distributed mark not solely based on Exams. Enjoyed her class a lot would take again.

Dr. Crane is by far the best professor at Dalhousie. Her course preparation is unparallel. Her lectures are clear, and provides in-class time for students to try problems. She also has TAs on hand during lectures to assist with student questions. Her marking scheme is extremely fair and encouraging.

Get ready to work harder in this course than any of your other courses this semester, but if you're whiling to put in the work, you WILL see results! The great thing is there are no surprises in this course: exams are what you would be expecting based on the homework. Long story short: if you're whiling to do the work, it's a pretty easy A

Dr. Crane is really energetic and friendly, she goes very in depth with her lectures and explains things very well. I found her format of exams to be very difficult, (you are graded on the answer, not the process) and CAPA points are dastardly, but the other components of the course can save your mark.

Overall a good experience, the example problems from the lectures along with the CAPA assignments really helped reinforce the material from the readings and there was tons of support outside of class. First year chem is a lot of work but Dr Crane and the other staff members are very helpful and supportive.

Lots of pre lecture homework,if your like me you can do none of it and still finish with an A- just by doing well on tests.Lectures are very engaging as she is very enthusiastic about all the subject matter.Lets you to redo any test you like and you will keep the highest grades you get.Tests are graded purely off answers which is brutal.

Dr. Crane's lectures were amazing however the xp system is brutal. good luck with the 4 exams you will have to do; having said that they are very easy if you study.

Dr. Crane makes learning hard topics in first year chemistry very simple. The pre class work never took me more than an hour at most, and led me to having a better understanding of the concepts during class, where she goes through valuable examples. If you find this course too difficult it is not Dr. Crane's fault, as you are set up for success.

Dr. Crane's flipped classroom style can be challenging, but the CAPA assignments and resources like Unstuckstudy really help reinforce the material. Worth the effort if you stay engaged.

Angela Crane is absolutely amazing. Her lectures are engaging and she goes over examples that are very helpful for the tests. Yes, there is a lot of homework with the flipped style classroom, however you will succeed if you put in the effort to do so. There are so many resources and extra bonuses worked into the syllabus as well.

Angela Crane is very good at explaining tough concepts. She made the early morning chem classes worth waking up for. The structure of the class allows each grade to mean very little. Anyone after second year knows that they very well could make the class simply two exams worth 40+ percent. Be grateful for the lenient structure of first year.
