Her class is an utter waste of time.

Terrible with communication and teaching. She re-writes her notes on the board, doesn't answer questions, doesn't turn around, and might as well not give partial credit on the exams.

Prof Toth has a lot of negative reviews, but I think most people just don't like chemistry. In class, she explains concepts rather than doing example problems (which is good b/c examples are in the book). She is a friendly person, very willing to help outside class.

Dr. Toth tries to help you familiarize with the concepts. You don't just learn tricks to solve problems, she really wants you to know how chemistry works. The lecture notes will make up most of your studying material, while you'll hardly ever pick up the textbook, so consider attendance mandatory.

Not the best professor at UF but not the worst. Quizes were very easy, as were the exams, just study the notes that you fill out in class.

Stay away from her! She is unclear in lectures and often makes mistakes or contradicts herself, and then WON'T correct them (even on exams). Her practice exams are way easier than actual exams. Useless in office hours, she redirects you to the TAs who are also clueless. I almost changed my major from chem to something else because of her.

I got an A in chm 1 w/ Gower and received a C+ in chem 2 with Toth. She has no sympathy for her students. I went into anaphylaxis the night before her final exam and I was touched she let me take a makeup. However, the makeup turned out to be 4 questions free response on only exam 2 material unlike the original final which was 40 MC. Would not rec.

Very nice woman, but a poor instructor (it is clear her ambitions and interests lie within research rather than lecture). Lectures are comprised of difficult-to-follow powerpoints that do not aid in understanding the material. Grade only comes from exams (which are 10 questions and multiple-choice, giving you no room for mistakes). Do not recommend

This prof cant teach at all. Your entire grade depends on 4 extremely difficult exams and nothing else. The exams are only 10 questions, so you can only miss 3 questions if you want to pass. There was EC on the exams but you only got 50min/exam so you couldn't finish in time. The only study materials were PPT and textbook which were both useless.

The PPT consists of random pictures and sometimes lectures get dragged out because she forgets how to solve her own questions in class. She gets very defensive when you try to ask any questions. Exams consist of 10 mlt choice questions and one bonus which doesnt leave much room for error considering the grade is only based off of exams.

Dr. Toth was not a great professor to have for this class. With COVID making it online, all of her lectures were pre-recorded the summer before. She stayed pretty absent other than the occasional class email. Her lectures were confusing and seemed to jump around a lot. I had to completely rely on StudyEdge this semester to even pass with my B.

Toth seems like a nice lady but her lectures did not explain the material very well. She mostly copied from her notes and gets confused often. I relied on Study Edge a lot and the practice problems didn't reflect the exams much. One good thing would be that hw was for completion and gone over during discussion so you would get an explanation why.

I would take any other professor for Chem 2 if possible. You will simply learn nothing from watching her lectures and her handwriting is impossible to understand.

Practice some self-love and don't take her class. StudyEdge is necessary to get a B or better at least. Imagine a world where you have to pay an additional $50 a month to properly get taught the material you pay thousands a year for. She takes forever to grade too so if you already suffer from anxiety good luck with that. Do better UF.

Please avoid this professor. Online lectures are the bare minimum and little to no communication with students. Even by reading the textbook, doing practice problems, and taking detailed notes, the exam material was difficult. There is seriously some disconnect between the lecture and homework content vs the exams.
