she is very stubborn and is only helpful if she likes you. She thankfully gives partial credit on exams - they are hard. She is entertaining, though. Must work hard on lab write-ups or she'll destroy your grade.

Despite what everyone says, I thought she was a very helpful professor. I didn't do good on the tests at all, but you do lab reports every week and if you do good, they bring your grade up so much. She will help you out if you have questions and really knows her stuff. Going to lecture is useful and will help you out in the long run.

Let me just say it's chem people, expect to study. Now, Flokstra is fair with her grades. Study for the tests you'll do well. Lab reports are fairly easy. Expect to spend ~ 4hrs on them. Doing well on the labs will bring up your lecture score. I wish I had her for Chem II!! She has slight AAD it?s entertaining. I would recommend taking her class.

Flokstra's a good prof. She expects you to learn but is fair. Great sense of humor, knows how to laugh at herself. I enjoyed her class

Overall, her grading is fair. She can be picky at times, but also will cut you some slack on the tests, and always has easy bonus questions at the end of each test. If you approach her in a professional manner, you will be treated the same. When I asked for help on the homework, she was very willing to answer my questions. JL

if you can take an easier instructor!

She knows what she's talking about. Good overall teacher but REALLY strict. Alot of busy work. Really long masteringchem HW and the prelab/postlab write ups are tedious and graded extremely hard. Tests are taken from the hw after the first test you know what she puts on from the HW. Only take if you always do you do things once assigned.

Highly recommend! Other comments are not very true. She is always available outside of class & answers questions in class. labs are sometimes hard to understand but you can get help. I had a horrible Chem 1 teacher and I felt like I would be behind all semester but she explained things really clearly and I ended up doing really good in her class.

Despite what some of the other people say, I thought she was an awesome professor. There is a decent amount of homework, but no more than you would expect from a college-level chem class. I'm a very slow learner, and I had a lot of trouble learning the material, but she helped me whenever I needed it. Nice, very nerdy, and fun! Would recommend!

Doc Flok is extremely excited about coming in and teaching Gen Chem. You have to put in the time to do well on the lab reports and to understand the concepts but she is always there to help you fully understand something if you don't. EXPLAINS THE MATH IN CHEMISTRY EXTREMELY WELL!!!!

You work hard, but I learned a lot! Doc Flok is willing to meet outside of class whenever works for you and is super helpful-she will go out of her way to help you and make sure you understand if you ask her a question! She makes class fun actually and has a great sense of humor. She's amazing! I'd take her again in a heartbeat.

You can tell that Doc Flok is really passionate about chemistry! She is more than willing to help. Her door is always open. If you don't understand something--ask! She will find a different way to explain it. If you put in the work you will succeed in this course.

If you are willing to put the work in, she is more than willing to help. Had a great experience with her as a teacher.

She was really cool and loved to crack jokes. Sometimes she was a little unclear,and if you don't put in the work she won't like you. The class was pretty easy if you did the required work.

This is chemistry you have to put in the time and do the Mastering chem and problems out of the back of the book before a test to be successful. Lab reports will be tough in the beginning but once you actually try to understand the labs they will become easier. Always willing to help and very helpful with lab reports if you go into her office hours

At first, this class was extremely hard. She makes it this way to make sure you are doing things the right way. After a couple weeks you slip into the motions and things become somewhat simpler work wise. Like any chemistry class, it's a little difficult. Doc. Flok is super fun, but quick to call you out on doing insufficient work.

I had Doc Flok for both Chem I and II and highly recommend her for both. The class itself is hard (which is to be expected as its an upper level course), but she makes it fun and exciting. Most importantly, she is very helpful outside of class and wants to see her students succeed as long as they are willing to put in the work. Great professor!

I took her for both chem 1 & chem 2, would highly recommend. I don't like chemistry at all, but she made it interesting and engaging. Chemistry is a hard subject, but she is there for you if you go to office hours or to the problem solving sessions. She always answered my questions & helped me think through the problems. Bonus is that she is funny!

Doc Flok is great. She verifies everyone understands the material in lectures, & she's very available for (and helpful during) office hours. Yes, the class is hard. It's chemistry, not Intro to Air Guitar. Don't expect a cakewalk and you'll be prepared for the workload. Treat her class with the respect it deserves and you'll get the grade you want

Her grading for labs is very tough, but her rubric tells you exactly what she wants to see in your lab reports. Her study sessions are very helpful and she's always trying to find ways to help any student that needs it.

I absolutely loved this class and Doc Flok is a great professor! She is funny which makes class interesting and she is also always there if you need extra help with the class. I would definitely take another class with her!

Enjoyed the class a lot. Was challenging but also very good and prepares you for future lab courses.

I loved this class! Yes some of the material is difficult but Dr. Flokstra really cares about her students. She answers questions in an easy to understand manner. Make sure you ask questions and go to her problem-solving sessions. I would go out of my way to take another one of her classes.

Doc Flok is sassy and sarcastic and is a great person to talk to. She makes you work to earn the grade you deserve, and the beginning of the semester is sorta harsh, but it's only because she wants you to get into the swing of things. It gets easier down the road. As far as Chem profs go, I would def take her again!

Doc Flok was a great professor! I really like that she holds a problem solving session each week to work on homework and lab pre/post labs with her and other students which is really helpful. Her lectures are clear and she often adds humor to make it more interesting. I would definitely recommend her.

Dr. Flokstra saved my faith in my abilities to hopefully one day become a doctor. She puts her students and their education far beyond anything else, including herself. She is the most accessible professor I have ever had the pleasure of having. I wish I could have had both Chem 1 & 2 with her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Dr. Flokstra cares about her students, and go out of her way to help. She gives study sessions and problem solving session, something not everyone in the department does. She gave me back the confidence to do chemistry again.

Best professor I have ever had. Although it is a tough class and I had to work hard for the grade, she truly cares for her students and loves what she does. You will learn so much in a short amount of time but Dr. Flokstra will always make time to work with you 1:1 if you need any help. She is easy to talk to, fun loving, and intelligent.

I honestly love Doc Flok, she will always be there to support you, wants you to do your best, puts your time in consideration. You will have to work for your grade, but that's also expected for any college class. She makes the best jokes, and makes it interesting, you can see that she loves her job, and wants everyone to succeed.

She's a pleasure to have as a professor. As a transgender student, she made me feel accepted and never one misgendered me. A really easy class to pass, which is focused mostly on making sure you understand real-world science. I highly recommend her for this class, but I've heard she's much more difficult in higher level chemistry classes.

Dr. Flokstra is an energetic teacher that wants you to succeed in her class. She gives clear instructions on what needs to be done and when things are due. Following along in class is easy because she doesn't rush things and she makes sure her students understand the concept before moving on.

Doc Flok is a great professor. I took her for both gen chem 1 and 2 and did not regret it. Her class is heavy on busy work. Quizzes every Friday, lab notebook quizzes, and four exams. As long as you meet her half way, she is willing to help you on anything. Offers lots of office hours. Best advice is to attend her office hours. 100% RECOMMEND!!

You are literally doing yourself a disservice by not taking Dr. Flokstra as a professor. Yes, Gen Chem II is a difficult class but she sets you up for success. She is ALWAYS accessible for extra help and is very patient-If you want to do well in a hard class AND actually learn concepts you'll need in harder classes down the road, take Dr. Flokstra.

Doc Flok is a great professor! She makes herself extremely available to her students outside of lecture and lab (for both Gen Chem I & II) and makes sure to get to know her students. She is challenging in that she expects a lot out of her students, but its necessary to get the course material learned for success in the next course.

Great professor but definitely makes you earn your grade. Very available to help and cares about her students and their grades. She really prepares you for future chemistry courses.

I love Doc Flok! She has a very good understanding of Chemsity--The girl knows what she's talking about. Sometimes she sounds condescending, but she definitely doesn't mean to. She will answer any of your questions and wants to help you be successful. Writing pre-labs can be challenging but you have to learn it at some point! LOVE HER

Doc Flok is a great professor. She makes you work hard, but college is supposed to be hard work anyways. She truly prepares you for future chemistry classes and does a great job of relating material to students. Her office hours are also super helpful and she's very willing to help you with material you're struggling with. Definitely recommend her!

Doc Flok is amazing if you are willing to work for your grade. If you don't know basic Math, then you will struggle but its not her job to teach you Math. She teaches Chemistry really well. Lectures are engaging. The homeworks supplement your understanding. You have to work a lot to earn an 'A' but it is very much possible.

Doc Flok is a great professor. Her class is challenging but as long as you put in the work you will be fine. The homework she assigns is tedious but greatly helps when studying for the exam.

Amazing professor. I took her for Gen Chem 1 and now that I don't have her anymore, I really miss her as a professor. She is great at explaining things in a way that makes sense, is super caring and fun, plays music during lab and is generally an awesome person.

I had her for Chem 1 and now have another professor for Chem 2, and I wish I still had her and miss her like crazy. She pushes you but only because she wants you to succeed and cares about her students genuinely. Will not sugarcoat her feedback but is not rude about it either and will absolutely give you all the help you need. Love her!

Doc Flok is a great teacher. I'm not a science person, and she made it really fun. We got to choose topics we wanted to learn about. There were no tests, final, or quizzes, just a group project for mid-terms. You need the textbook- read a chapter each week and answer a few questions about it.

Doc Flok is one of the best. First off her ability to connect with all of her students is amazing. She is so caring and genuinely loves chemistry and her students. She is motivating and believes in all her students. Will provide you resources and help if you ask. If you put in the effort she will support you! Her tests are what is covered in class

Doc Flok is a solid professor who cares about each student. I would recommend going to her office hours because she is approachable and willing to answer questions to help you succeed. The classwork can be challenging but if you go to chem help time, do the homework, and put in effort, you will do well.

Doc Flok is a caring professor that is concerned about her students' well-being and success. I would also say she is very passionate about science. She was energized during her lectures. You could tell she really loved talking about the subjects at hand. I found her to be very approachable and understanding. Reach out for help if need be.

Took her class my first semester and I literally didn't know anything about chemistry. I learned SO MUCH with this professor and received great feedback. She's very knowledgeable and will always have a good answer for you. She does a great job explaining difficult topics and assigning homework that really helps reinforce learning. Loved her!

Doc Flock is a great Chem professor! By far the best one I've had. The only issue I have about her is the amount of work you have to do just to get a C in the class. The amount of work done for this class was not worth the 4 credits. If you struggle with not understanding information, she the one you should pick. The lectures are easy to understand

Dr. Flok was very knowledgeable- she knows her stuff and I loved the way she did lecture! She wrote along with us so she didn't get ahead of herself. She does example problems and gets people involved. Gives help time. She gives worksheets right before the exam and they are so helpful! Do them! Lab portion make sure you take time!

Doc Flok is the only reason I passed chemistry I had her for chem 1 and chem 2. She offers help times usually 3 times a week and I cannot stress enough that you should go! It's one on one help and I would have failed w/o it. She is really good about answering emails and always gives detailed feedback. She's funny and really cares about students!

There are readings and questions to answer every week. You need the textbook. She does not do exams for Matter Matters instead its a paper over a case study and they are actually pretty fun to do. She has very chill teaching styles and makes class feel like a productive hang out. There are group activates and one presentation but that is about it.

She is overall good and this class is easy. At the end of the semester, we just watched videos. Attendance is required and graded. Weekly questions from the book.

Overall, I think Doc.Flok is a really good professor the class is hard so I think a lot of people blame that on the professor if you do the work and go to Chem help time when you need assistance you should be fine.
