This professor barely teaches and reads off the slides. First year teaching
She goes through lectures very fast (a chapter a day) The next day that week you do a long worksheet of the whole unit. Her tests arent horrible if you study. She doesnt take attendance.
She does a poor job at teaching the actual material and finds herself questioning her own answers. She never gives a clear answer. If you take her you'll need to dedicate a lot of time teaching yourself the material. The TAs do a better job at teaching the material than her. Goes fast through lectures and barely teaches them.
Would absolutely not recommend. The average test grade in my class was an F and she was okay with it. She seems unsure when she teaches and cannot fully explain concepts whenever someone asks questions. She is constantly corrected by students on her lectures because she teaches incorrect information.
Her lectures have no substance. She essentially just reads her powerpoint word for word, describing next to nothing along the way. I learned more of the material contained in this class off of YouTube than I did attending any of her lectures. Very poor at keeping the class engaged in her lessons.
She has no idea what she is doing. She reads off slides so fast we finish a chapter in a day. When she actually does try to show us something she usually gets it wrong asking us if she did it right. Only thing she has going is she is nice. Do not recommend.
I would never take this class again in a million years. She reads the slides word for word and consistently gets her own practice problems wrong. She openly admits she makes makeup exams harder than the original exams and also says if you ask for a regrade (in case something is wrong), she will be harsher and may take off more points.
She just reads off her slides... does not necessarily teach anything. Although personally, I did not struggle with this class bc I took ap chem. So, if you took ap chem and get stuck in her class, you'll be totally fine, and if not, try and get another professor. Her exams are quite easy which makes up for her lack of teaching.
Professor Barton is brand new I think. She's not terrible - she's nice and will answer your questions. As long as you are willing to study outside of class you'll be fine. All the lecture slides are posted on canvas. She just kinda reads off the slides and doesn't teach.
Just reads off slides and constantly makes mistakes while teaching. She often moves on to the next topic without correcting her work even when it is pointed out she did something wrong. Decently easy exams if you know chemistry, but if you're trying to learn from her good luck.
All she does is read off the slides. I never learned anything in class hardly and she went way too fast. She doesn't seem like she knows what she's doing. I was continuously having to teach myself the material. Definitely would not take this class again with this professor.
She is horrible. Do not take her. She reads straight from the slides and when she does practice problems, she always gets the answer wrong and will never go back and show us the correct way. She just tells you that it's wrong and moves on. She moves so fast and she will typically read around 70 slides in an hour. I do not recommend for anyone.
She is a first year teacher. She reads straight from the powerpoint. When doing practice problems she tends to get answers wrong and asks students to give her the correct answers. You basically have to teach yourself the material in order to do good on her test. Tests are easy if you know the material. She also accepts no late work.
It was Dr. Barton's first semester of teaching. She reads from PowerPoint and is often unsure of the material. If you have a good understanding of chemistry you will find her exams very easy. Otherwise, you will have to teach yourself.
What a joke. Do not take this professor. She doesn't know anything about chemistry. First day of class, she couldn't figure out how many sig figs were in 36.003. If you have taken AP Chem and still need credit for a science course, it's an easy A but if you haven't, you're going to struggle. Worst professor I've ever had.
Dr. Barton was definitely a new teacher. She was very sweet and accommodating, but her lectures weren't helpful at all. She would go through over 70 slides in an hour, making multiple math mistakes and not correcting them. Be prepared to teach yourself most material. I wouldn't recommend if you don't know your stuff going in, which I didn't lol
It's the first week of classes and she's messed up multiple times and has to be corrected by students. I started doing my homework today and was confused as to why I got one of the questions wrong. I googled the correct answer and she literally got the answer wrong on her own homework assignment. She also teaches so fast!
If you actually stay for her class when it is not mandatory, then you will be successful. Barton will sit down with you and help you work through and understand problems if you stay for the time that is allotted for that. Her classwork is very manageable, and from someone who didn't take AP Chem, is very understanding. Just put in effort.
Barton is not bad she is new to teaching. PERSONALLY, staying home and self-teaching the course is easier because in the few lectures I attended, she made mistakes, questioned herself, and skipped problems she did not want to take time to understand. Overall, the material is not insanely hard but attending this class may confuse you.
Dr. Barton is not good. Class is boring and better off learning the content at home. Content and material she lectures on is very 2D; If you ask her to explain a concept or problem deeper than just the slideshows, she doesn't know how to.
Do not take this class unless you are ready to teach all of chemistry to yourself. Barton goes through 50+ slides a class and reads off them she doesn't take any meaningful time to teach the information. first week of class I went to her with a question about the material she had just taught and she told me she didn't know how to do the problem.
Took her for my first chemistry class in Auburn, never again. She goes straight off of the slide show. Never explains anything great and messes up her simple math. She goes through a 60 powerpoint slideshow in about an hour between 2 classes. Be ready to take notes that you will have to rewrite back home.
If you haven't taken a chem class before I would not recommend Barton. But if you think you have a good grasp of chemistry and want an easy course then I would recommend her (if you don't mind relearning a little). The workload is fairly light. You only have to do the online homework and turn in a worksheet packet (for participation) once a week.
An awful experience taking this class. She frequently messes up her own work and is corrected by the SI every other class. Her lectures are extremely fast paced and she never explains anything. She frequently skips over important topics. You have to study with people with a different professor or you will not do well. STAY AWAY.
She is a horrible professor that does not know chemistry at all. She runs through 30+ slides in a 50 minute class and doesn't stop to explain anything. She makes multiple mistakes while working problems and just honestly doesn't understand the material herself. She also has multiple mistakes on the exam keys. Don't take her class!
I have no idea how this lady even graduated high school.
There's tough ratings, but they aren't really fair. She's a good professor; the lectures do go fast and are on a good bit of material, but it's just the nature of gen chem. People make mistakes, especially in front of a group. Get over it y'all lol. If you're not ready to put in effort and struggle through concepts, you're not ready for chemistry.
Everything is online, and attendance isn't mandatory, so I did not show up for class except for the tests. Not a great strategy, but I did mostly average on the tests and taught myself everything. She basically reads from her powerpoint slides (so I hear) so if you don't want to teach yourself everything, take someone else. I kinda wish I did.
The first exam is easy, but the rest are very long. She goes through 30-40 slides in a class and will not stop to explain. She will talk like she is talking to another professor with a P.H.D. in Chemistry. The course doesn't really prepare you for anything and she isn't helpful with learning the course for the final in the slightest..
Barton is incapable of explaining complex concepts, and instead chooses to gloss over the slides. When solving example problems, she skips over key pieces of information to understand why she solved a problem the way she did. The SI sessions can be helpful if the leader is good.
Lectures are wrong and don't prepare you for tests. I was in and out of the hospital for 1.5 months; she told me to get all the work in (the syllabus is the syllabus) and to not take the makeup test because she makes it really hard for students who decide to skip their exams. She told me to drop her class the week before finals.
Many lectures were a waste of time, many students also had to correct her on multiple occasions. Would not recommend to anyone.
Don't take this professor. Confusing and boring lectures. Very test heavy and half the things on the test were not taught in class. I would get a tutor instead.
selected not taken for credit because she is literally the reason I failed the class the first time I took chem 1. people in my class were always having to correct her work and she was always having to redo her keys to the recitation sheets and even exams bc HER work was wrong. she can't balance equations!!!! don't take her unless you wanna fail.
DO NOT TAKE HER!! her class was the toughest class this semester and not because the topics were hard, but because she genuinely could not teach them at all to save her life. She scales test but not really sure how. and gives extra credit but mainly on assignments that are based off of completion. She is a chemistry professor who does not know chem
Please don't
If you have not already mastered chemistry do not take her. She reads off power points with no other explanation and constantly makes mistakes. Most of the time a student has to correct her. Provides extra credit but only in categories that you probably already have in A in (homework/completion grades). Just do not take her. (very kind lady tho)
Lectures tend to be fairly boring and just information read off of slides, but class is completely optional except for test days. Dr. Barton is clear about what information will be on the test and offers bonus opportunities occasionally. The learning modules in Pearson are a great way to practice for the test and SI sessions are offered regularly.
run. if you have not taken AP chem in high school do not take her. like just don't. I went to tutoring and tried to master this course but nothing helped with the tests. she talks so fast. make sure if you take her to do the extra practice from the textbook that will actually teach you. She is a nice person tho, just not a good professor.
All she does is read off a PowerPoint. If you want to pass teach yourself with YouTube videos
If you have taken chemistry before this class is easy. If not, she rushes through notes and often makes mistakes. She if not good to learn from. Tests are not too hard though. She does give the SI her past exams so I recommend going to the SI exam reviews.
VERY fast lectures, so pay attention. SI Sessions were very helpful (especially before tests) as she gave past exams for practice. Final exam is a standardized test, so be prepared before finals week! For the final, study the concepts rather then the past exam, homework, or classroom activity questions!
She's a sweet person but be ready to teach yourself. She reads directly off the slides instead of straight forward lecturing.
Dr. Barton's class was very easy. You don't have to go to lecture to get an A. Lectures are not very helpful, but Chem 1030 is an easy course. Test are multiple choice, just make sure to check her answer keys because sometimes they are incorrect. Got a 99 in the class.
Dr. Barton is a very good professor, but she does teach the material pretty fast. You will have to take time to fill in your notes and read the textbook outside of class. As long as you do the work in this class, you will get a good grade. She is accessible outside class and will respond to emails in a timely manner.
Just don't. I took chem in high school so like everyone you'd think taking it in college would jog your memory. All she does is makes things way more confusing than needed to be. I wish I would have listened to everyone telling me not to go to class and teach yourself. She questions her own teachings. You'll be better off w/someone else or yourself
I do not suggest Prof.Barton if you struggle with chemistry concepts. I taught myself this entire class. Her lectures are not helpful so I don't even go. I feel severely underprepared with each test as she does not provide any other practice other than our homework. Save yourself the time and energy and get a different professor.
DO NOT TAKE. make things more confusing. does not elaborate when asked questions, just restates answers.Taught myself all three units and ACS. Second guesses herself and has to get lots of help from LAs. miss a test due to a legitimate reason(Doctors note)? the makeup exams are WAY HARDER. They do not coincide with any of the practice tests
Basically reads from the slides, does add to them a little. Goes through slides super fast, ends lecture early to have you work on questions and be able to ask LAs, but most people just leave cause there are not enough LAs or the lecture was so fast we're too confused to even start on the questions. Tests are hard and short, MC so no partial credit
you can tell she really cares about her students however she just goes through her lectures so quick and does not really explain much about chemistry, just sort of expects you to hear the information once and know what your doing. she will explain something if you stay after class to ask. attendance isn't mandatory but you defs need to go
I highly recommend not to take her. She goes through 40+ slides a class. Attendance is not mandatory and I taught myself everything. She goes super fast and her tests are difficult.
does not give good lectures and reads directly from the slides and that's it. only graded on homework and tests. Does give some extra credit opportunities. tests are nothing of what you think you should be studying and are very complex.
She reads directly from the slides, I found it to be more helpful to not go to her lectures and read through the slides at my own pace. To review for tests, I think the most helpful things were reading through my notes on the slides and doing practice problems from the SI sessions box folder.
If you took chem in high school youll do fine. She reads through her powerpoint in lecture so you could skip. She does give review slides and the tests are pretty straight forward. She is really nice and helpful when you ask a question.
Avoid this professor if possible. All she does in lecture is read straight off of the slides and each powerpoint is about 50 slides. You basically have to teach yourself chemistry and she does not help prepare you for her exams or the final. A lot of people I know have dropped the class or have had to take it twice.
Find any other professor
If you don't come into this class knowing chemistry, you will struggle. She just reads off of the slides and does not offer any extra info. She is a nice person, but a bad teacher. Considering almost no one finished our second exam, I wouldn't suggest this class. Almost all of my friends got Cs or are having to retake the class during the summer.
Strictly reads off powerpoints. I recommend Auburns study partners. Final dropped me seven points rip. Final was difficult and was not prepared for it. Some of the final exam material I flat out had never seen before in my life. Her math being incorrect made me more confused. Too hard of work and didn't matter in the end. Nice person though.
She is sweet but reads of the power points the whole time. The final was difficult and some of the material on it I had not seen in the class, and it killed my grade.
She told me to plan better when I missed a ton of work for my little brother's funeral.
Your grade will be destroyed by the ACS final. The average with the curve is a failing grade which is ironic since this exam is designed to see how well Auburn students do in comparison to other universities. If all the students here are failing, it is a reflection of the course and the professor, not the students.
Gets a horrible rap but she's actually a great professor. You have to be willing to work and take note outside of class but she posts all of the power points. Tests are super straightforward and generally easy to study for. i had never taken chem before auburn and it was still really manageable. Super sweet I would recommend!
WORST CLASS EVER!! DO NOT TAKE!! She reads 40+ slides a class and teaches nothing. Homework takes hours and you get basically no credit for it. The exams will RUIN your grade and their is no extra credit or quizzes to boost your grade.
i think she gets a worse rep then she deserves, but definitely is not the best at explaining and understanding what she is teaching. she reads right off the powerpoints, so it is not like you even have to attend. as long as you do the homework though and study it for the exams, you will be fine, especially if you took chemistry before.
Do not take her unless you are already good at chemistry. She just reads off of slides every lecture and doesn't really explain things well at all. However, if you are already really good at chemistry this class won't be bad. Her tests are pretty straightforward and they are all multiple choice.
Dr. Barton is, by far, the worst teacher/professor that I have ever taken. To those who haven't had Chemistry before, many of the topics are hard to grasp. Instead of teaching difficult topics in a helpful way, she instead reads off the slide show, expects you to have a firm understanding of the topic within 30 seconds, and moves on. Horrible.
I don't understand why her ratings are quite as low as they are, but she wasn't a great professor. Exams weren't too hard and there was plenty of other work to help your grade. Lectures were boring and hard to follow though.
Just read through the slides. I went to SI and learned more there than I did in the lecture. The lecture is a waste. will mess up on examples then students have to correct her.
I learned well from her teaching style, however if you do not you will struggle. She is a very fast lecturer (running out of breath at times) and her class is very lecture heavy, but she allows for questions and answers well. Her tests are challenging but the rest of the course work is easy. This is a class where you need a study group.
i overall thought she was very difficult. her lectures moved very fast and she never gave you that much time to really learn any of the information. she just wanted to get through all of her slides and she did not really care if you understud the information or not.
Dr. Barton missed half of the semester, but I had no problem with her while she was here. I found her learning style (lecture-heavy) helpful, but if that's not how you learn, the class will be hard. Be prepared to study hard, especially if you do not have a strong high-school chemistry background.
I think the grade on her here is too harsh, she usually just reads off the lecture slides so you need to be able to learn from the slides. The homework is heavy but really helped me learn the material. She is very nice and friendly as well.
The best compared to other chem teachers at Auburn. Test are exactly like the SI review.
You could basically take this class at home if you read/write your notes and do the homework. I already understood a lot of chemistry from high school so her lectures didn't make a difference; also because she just read off the slides she posts on canvas. Compared to other teachers, Barton's tests sound the easiest.
Extremely over-hated. Does practice problems that are just like what are on tests. Very nice and talks loud enough to understand. Extremely approachable. Class is heavily weighted on exams. Is a hard class but if you go to SI sessions and study an A is obtainable.
She's a really sweet lady but she only reads off the slides which is annoying and unhelpful but she does give practice tests that are really really similar to the actual unit tests. The final exam is actually a joke, they give you nothing to prepare except tell you to get the book with practice questions like that's supposed to magically help
She's not as bad as people say she is. The class itself is hard and there's a lot of material she has to go over, which is why she reads off the slides. If that's not your style of learning then she's not the best professor. She's nice. Do any sort of practice problem you can to help. Attend lectures even though they're not mandatory!!
She don't teach
Dr. Bartons CHEM1030 class was definitely challenging, but you'll do fine as long as you study at least a week before exams, go to SI sessions, and look over the material. She does go through content really fast but tests are pretty fair and as long as you study you got it!!
Dr. Barton is not a good teacher, she runs through lectures and messes up on practice questions. People who rate her good have probably taken chemistry before. She is sweet, just not a good teacher imo. The ACS final was so hard, and I did not feel prepared at all, as most students don't. Tests are MC and are civil.
I don't think her rating is accurate. She is very sweet and will help if you ask. Chemistry is a very hard class and you need to put in a lot of effort. She reads the slides and does practice problems in class. I think if you study those you will do fine. I took AP Chem before so this class was not hard but I think she's still a good professor.
Dr.Barton cares for her students, however she is not going to carry you to a good grade. If you want to excell in this class, you are going to need to go to office hours, and build a healthy student-professor relationship with her. Chemistry 1040 is a hard class, and many people mistakenly perceive the hard course work as sub-par teaching. GH
She goes fast in class but if you pay attention the entire time you can follow along well. She is also a really nice person and she wants everyone to do good in her class. The course itself is difficult and you have to put in the hours, which I did not do for the first exam. You really get what you put in in this class. Study a week in advance.
She flies reads off slides and doesn't really explain much. She doesn't seem to want to be there. On a couple of occasions, she went through 50 minutes of content in 25. Seems nice until you're solely watching Organic Chem Tutor on youtube to teach yourself the course.
Office hours are very helpful for this class! I would definitely recommend going to all of the lectures and using office hours to do homework and review tests. She is very sweet and offers extra credit for each exam! She does go over a lot of slides in class so going over the notes after class can be very helpful. I would certainly take her again!
I love Dr. Barton and wish I could take her for more of my classes. If you need help she is extremely easy to talk to and she gives extra credit multiple times throughout the year. She is also just very real when you talk to her. If you go to her office hours she will help you with homework which is 20% of your grade. Her ratings should be higher.
She gets a lot of hate because the class is kind of like a weed-out. Honestly, I think she was a good professor, and she's very sweet. Worst part about the class is the ACS final, but every chemistry class takes it.
I loved Dr. Barton! She is very misunderstood. The class is hard, not the teacher. If you study hard, you will do good on exams. She offers easy extra credit, office hours, and multiple TA + LA sessions. So many opportunities to do better. Exams are 21 questions but scored out of 20, so an extra credit question on each exam. Chem sucks, not her.
Dr. Barton is great. Her tests can be hard but she provides many resources to help you. She's very easy to understand, and understanding is crucial. As long as you pay attention in class, do the homework, and study, you will be fine.
A lot of people don't like the way she teaches, but the content is very simple to master as long as you do the homework and dont skip class. She is very sweet and wants you to succeed, so if you need help just go talk to her!
I think the people who rate her poorly are the ones who genuinely either did not go to her lectures or put any time into studying. You don't need any chemistry knowledge before this course to get a good grade, just come to class and you'll be fine. Also, she doesn't JUST read from slides in lecture; she gives us time to practice and get it right.
I was so scared to take chemistry in college after having a bad experience in high school, but she is such a good teacher. If you simply go to lecture, take notes, and do the homework, you will have a good grade.
Don't listen to people who complain about her class-- it's not her teaching style, but the content and the way the class is set up (a lot of material and not enough class time) that makes this difficult. She posts very comprehensive lecture slides, extra practice problems and tests, and she's super sweet and helpful if you just talk to her.
Listen, Callie Barton is the sweetest professor ever but she's great at simply reading off the slides. She gets her own problems wrong, and is SUPER fast paced. Like you'll finish an entire chapter in 3 class sessions. Long slideshows, but somehow manageable. Exams are usually like ~20 questions so it's a tough grade.
Nice Prof, but HORRIBLE class structure. Very fast paced, slides are packed to the brim and hard to read. I attended every single lecture and most SI sessions, yet I still struggled.4 tests make up almost all of your grade, and they are not easy. Skip class, you definitely won't pass. Very glad this is the last chem I need for my major.
I loved her! She was very kind and helpful in office hours. She wanted us to succeed, especially if you've shown up and asked for help. She does grade replacement at the end of the semester with the final.
Very kind lady, super helpful if you put in the effort and show up. However, her class is graded on 4 exams worth 80% of your grade, no extra credit, and generally tough material. She does replace the lowest exam with the final which is nice. If you haven't taken AP chem, you will probably have some trouble, but it is manageable.
I love Dr. Barton. She wants her students to understand the material. She's always willing to help with problems and gives plenty of time and examples in class. She does teach very, very quickly, but she has two-hour office hours twice a week where she can explain things in more detail. It's chemistry that sucks, not Dr. Barton. Highly recommend.
While attendance isn't mandatory showing up is very important. The material is pretty difficult especially if you have no prior knowledge of chemistry. She wants you to succeed and is very helpful during class and office hours.
Great professor. She cares about you and wants you to do well. If you don't study, then you won't do well. Attendance is not mandatory, but you will need to attend class to achieve a good grade. She is super nice and helps you if you have any questions.
She genuinely is a good person and professor. many people rate her low because her class is very lecture heavy, but theres also a time limit since the final is not created by her so she has to get all the information in. The material can be tricky but if you put in the effort to ask questions and actually go to class you will do well.
She doesn't deserve the hate. Just go to class and study and you'll be good.
She was a great professor, attendance wasn't mandatory and the tests I thought were well structured. I don't get the hate. If you put in a college amount of effort you will get a great grade.
Stop the hate guys. I failed her class and still love her its just my fault. If you go to class and do all the work she gives you you will be fine. Just say yall are the problem this sweet lady doesn't deserve this cruelty.
As long as you understand the homework then you will do just fine. Her tests are out of 105 so you can miss 3 questions and still have an A. Her SI's also help a lot. I never went to class and just relied on homework and SI's and got As on all her exams. For the few times I went to class she had practice problems and made sure everyone understood.
I'm honestly confused why her rating is so harsh because she is one of the most supportive chemistry professors I've had. She gives tons of resources, explains the material clearly, and genuinely wants you to understand the content. Her practice exams are extremely similar to the real tests, which makes studying way less stressful.
Amazing professor! Gives practice material for exams. Lots of opportunity to ask for help in/after class, in her office hours, or during the LA sessions. Exams graded & returned before next class. Class material can be difficult for some people so they struggle and blame her but she can't control the amount of material that's covered in a semester.
Lectures are fast paced, but she's good at going in depth on what matters, and she gives plenty of practice problems in class. Homework also helps with boosting grades. Go to her office hours when you need help and do the recitations to study and you should do great!
She is a great professor. Yes, she is fast-paced, but she knows what she's talking about. Definitely try to sit in the front if you can, that way you can ask questions. She's very helpful and caring. The pearson homeworks aren't really related to the tests, make sure to do her recitation sheets and go over slideshows before a test.
Her rating should be much higher; she is a great professor. Chemistry is just a very hard class, if you aren't doing well in her class there is a lot of opprotunity to ask questions to her in class and during office hours. The LAs are also very helpful.
She cares more about getting a lot of material out at once rather than fully explaining and making sure the material is understood. There was many times where I had to just stop and reteach it to myself after class.
She gets too much hate, the course is tough but she does a good job teaching it. I showed up 30 minutes late for one exam and she still let me take it. I got a 90%. The homework is not that hard it is just super time consuming, plan for eight hours of questions for each exam.
Strictly reads off of the power point and office hours only kind of help. I'm sure she's awesome but, does not help in ways that helped me. Also, has very few grades and zero extra credit.
Not sure why she gets so much hate because the lectures were comprehensive and easy to understand. Definitely a lot of homework but if you stay on top of it it's not too bad. Tests were a little more difficult but overall not bad either. This is my first experience with chemistry, and she made not too difficult.
I love Dr. Barton. Not sure how she has many bad reviews. She teaches the lesson and has MULTIPLE times throughout class where she and LAs get up and answer ANY question you have. If you put in the work and do your part, then you will for sure succeed. It's inherently a kinda tough class so just put the work in, and you'll be fine.
She goes so fast during lectures, there is barely any time to process the information. The only grades you receive in the class are homework and exams, and homework doesn't count for much. All her lectures are big, so you can't really ask for help and her office hours do not help much either.
Dr. Barton pretty much uses strictly slides as her means for teaching, so going to class is pretty much essential. She has office hours and those are super helpful. HW is time consuming and doesn't count for much, tests have little room for error and take up 60% of the final grade. She drops grades at the end of the semester but no extra credit.
The Barton hate is so unfair. This class is very hard but she really tries her best to help. The lectures are very slammed with content, but she still gives time in class to do practice problems. The class is very test heavy so you do have to study really hard. I really do like her though. Pretty nice lady teaching a hard class.
Dr. Barton is a great professor if you put in the work. Many bad reviews come from students who didn't apply themselves. Chem 1030 is hard, and she won't spoon-feed you, but she explains concepts clearly and provides tons of resources. She's also very kind and caring.
She talks very fast in lectures. while I think she is super nice, her class was very hard. I studied so much and still only got a D. I have to retake this class bc im pre med so that's really frustrating. She is a great person and very funny but I put 150% effort into this class and failed. The exams are HARD. she doesn't teach the material well.
great teacher and teaches exactly what you need to know for her tests. she has online homework assignments for every exam, which are great practice for her tests. Only grades are homework and exams. Does not teach everything you need to know for the final exam which is the ACS national chem exam.
