Goes so fast in lec and expect us to catch up and know it all before the next slide. Dropped from the course early b/c it was so hard, can't learn anything. The remaining students experienced the continous horror. When answer questions, her explanation does not help. Try someone else unless you MUST take her.

This class made me want to throw up. She says dont study sec. 1.4 and 2.6 and half the questions on tests are from those sections. Her grades never add up right if they're ever even posted. She'll give you a zero faster than anyone. If you take the class make sure to store her office number in your cell because you will need it. OFTEN!!

Quite frankly, organic chemistry is a hard subject and that's not her fault. I must admit she can be very scattered and unclear at times, but she makes up for it with alot of extra credit. There are no good organic teacher at BCC, they all suck from what I have heard. Therefore I would recommend her. Once you study you will pass. I got all A's.

Avoid if you can. She teaches off a powerpoint slide which just summerizes what the book says;which you can read by yourself. So i am basically saying she doesn't teach. she is unorganized and gives work worth 5 credits: online work from the auther of the book which takes several hours to complete plus her own homework online and quizzes and etc.

She's not that bad. I took 1045 with her and I'm taking 1046. Study the WebCT homeworks and memorize all the questions and you'll do good on the tests.

This class is mainly self taught. You have to read the book and do all the study guide questions. The tests online give 2 chances. Then the midterm is all the tests up to chap. 8 plus a few extra questions. The final is a lot harder 9-14 and not a lot of review. One powerpoint group presentation, 20 points EC.

Lab is literally 1 credit and she made us write 10 lab reports of like 13 pages each. Now I know that sounds intimidating, but as long as you stay within the prompt and understand the experiment she will give you a good grade. Create a schedule and try to watch the videos as soon as lecture is over also take notes from the video it will help later.

She is a very good professor for organic chem lab. There are a few things she does that can be a bit annoying (skips steps in lab videos, takes a while to grade), but overall the course isn't too bad. The biggest thing to know is there is A LOT of work to do each week for this class, you have a lab report, lab notebook, and prelab quiz every week.

She is the most understanding professor, I was able to communicate with her about any problems I had. I also, think the pre-lab questions, data sheets, and post-lab questions all accurately reflected the lab experiments. They served as a good tool to really help me understand the experiments in depth.

I liked how professor would explain each lab before we did them at the beginning of every class. Professor allowed us to ask questions about the previous lab because it really helped hammer in the comprehension.

She is a good professor. No quizzes just one final but A LOT of homework considering its just a one credit course. There was a lab report, a notebook and a pre lab quiz (which she gave the questions to in advance) PER WEEK. You need to have the time to complete all of this. The labs are 1 hour videos she makes us watch to do the reports

I would say Professor Memari is okay. First, she can inconvenience students at certain times because she always does not start the weekly Zoom meetings on time, so we are often left trying to figure out why she isnt present. The material is easy but the lectures useless, we are left to do all the learning on our own. Also prepare for pop quizzes.

While Professor Memari is nice she gives little to no effort. Even though our class met in person the only way she teaches is through watching her content online as if it were being taught during covid and the videos are 40-60 min long with bad quality.
