really good teacher, she's kind and helpful. Do her assigned homework before the test and u'll be fine

She is wonderful with visuals and explanations. I just wish she was teaching the next class in the series. There is not another teacher like her that I have met at this campus.

By far the BEST professor I've ever had!! She is very interested in helping you actually learn the material and is very good at presenting different perspectives to aid in comprehension. I can only hope that I will have the opportunity to take one of her classes again! Superb!!

Thorough in her subject. Makes the student prepare for future chemistry classes. Is striaght forward and if one is disciplined an A is guaranteed in the class. She seems strict but is very kind and helpful. Sometimes fast while lecturing but u have to be attentive. 2hrs addtional work outside class.

You go sister! She is fun.

She is the best.

Mrs. Berg is a very nice lady! Her class is not good for those who do not test well. Grading relies heavily on tests, assignments are minimal grade value. Assigned lab partners. Would often introduce new material second hours on Mon & Wed which means you (should/have) to stay both hours both days.

She's a great teacher... Makes everything (even the hard stuff)seem a lot more simple!

Very good teacher. As long as you do the homework (easy) and study for the quizes and tests (fairly easy) you will ace the class. She also usually gives you the benefit of the doubt when giving points.

she is a fairly good teacher. her lectures are very fast and you have to be there everyday in order to understand what she is saying. she's very good at helping students and will lecture you until you understand. highly recommended, but you have to do her homeworks,labs, and do well in her exams.

She is an awesome teacher. I liked everything about that class more than my other chem classes with exception that you have to re-write up all you lab reports. You don't get to use the lab manual in the lab at all, but otherwise she has a really easy and fun class.

She is the best. Take her!

Best Chem teacher in the world. She actually won an award for it Winter quarter I believe. Very thorough, covers a lot of material fairly quickly. The nicest teacher...sometimes too nice. =) Like to give moral lectures in class =).All in all, the best chem teacher in the world!!

Good Teacher

you have to spend all your life in chemistry if you take a class with her she is so difficult. if you are a forigen student you never want to take class with her

The best Chem teacher at BCC at time I took it....

Excellent professor, eager to teach, and to assist students.

I loved her class, she is so fun and really knows what she's talking about. She even arrives at lab 30min early so she can answer any questions you have. It requires some work to get an A, but if you try at least a little, you will get something out of her

She is indeed a professional, but her class was harder than the rest.

She is a tough prof, but she is very willing to help and support her students. She will strive for you to understand the subject. She is easy to approach if you have a problem.

Excellent teacher! Fun, exciting! watched and made lots of cool things connecting what we learned with tangiable objects! Very Knowledgable in the subject.

Yes she is tough, but she is the best chem teacher you could ever ask for. As long as one does the homework and understands the materials from the book the "A" is a minimum grade they can get. She has more passion for chem and her students than anything else in the world.

Mrs. Berg is an excellent teacher who strives to get to know her students and help them personally. She is a very tough teacher, though, so be prepared to do a lot of work.

Great teacher. Lectures are very clear. She is always available for questions and to provide extra help. She is SO knowledgeable. She goes over all test and homework problems to make sure you understand the concepts. You have to work your butt off in her class but you’ll really know your stuff if you put the effort into it.

After having a crappy 140 class, i was really behind on things but she took the time to help me catch up. She's not really a good person to get notes off. Writes way to fast n changes one thing multiple times for one to keep up. Tests are reasonable. She takes labs really seriously. Must do complete write ups and all that.

Amazing! She does demand a LOT of work but will help you in any way she can. You will really understand Chem (and Organic Chem) after her classes. Her enthusiasm and commitment to her students is awe-inspiring.

That’s how chemistry should be taught. She loves chemistry and all you need to be successful is a passionate teacher like her. An inspiring personality is her best quality.

I thought that she was a great professor. Her lectures helped me out a lot, at times I would get confused but she cleared things up. This class is a lot of work but it is worth it I learned a lot from her 150 and 160. I will be taking organic chem with her as well. I recommend her for those who are willing to learn!!!

I had her for 150 and 160. Take her courses if you are interested in learning chem from a feminist and are willing to do excessive outside work including extensive weekly writeups on multiple labs. Very dedicated.

a very dedicated teacher. she's serious about labs so be prepared to work! this class takes time and effort. she's tough, but a pleasure to be around. it shows that she really loves chemistry.

She is great teacher, lots of homework and labs, but helps you with it a lot. she is alway awaylabe to help. So far she is the best teacher that i ever had. She knows her stuff very well and can answer any quetion

Very good teacher!!! one of the best ever...Very hard on work and labs but makes you understand the material very well....Not a class for just craming but if you want to learn the material, she's the best...4th qtr. taking her and she is the best chemistry teacher i've had. NEVER REALLY THOUGHT CHEMISTRY WAS INTERESTING UNTIL I HAD BERG'S CLASS!

A lot of writing involved with her classes. Lectures are kept to key topics, with plenty of demonstration and repetition. Book mainly used as a reference and personal study guide. Shows exceptional command of the subject matter and teaching techniques. Hard class at times, but worth every second and every penny. Ask about her cat!

Her exams were just little harder than her homework. If you follow the steps, it's not difficult to get credits. Pretty much homeworks to do though.

I seriously loved her! She is like a grandma who actually cares about her students. She wants everyone to come see her for help. I went in to see her at least once a week, and it saved my grade. All you have to do it try, she wants everyone to do good.

Ms. Berg was intimidating the first couple of days but really she's not bad. She's by far one of the best teachers that I've had. Even though her hw can be a little tricky, get in to get help. She's EXTREMELY helpful. Really, she is. Her tests are pretty much like the hw. Labs can be tough but interesting! If you put in the effort you'll do fine.

I LOVED MRS BERG! She was my favorite teacher, she explains everything very well, she gives your homework and goes over every question and will answer any any question about it. The homework translates exactly to the test, so if you understand the homework you will do well on tests, pretty easy class, and very helpful. TAKE HER!

cool teacher! loves to tell stories. quizzes are hard but she grades easy. do not miss her class! you will miss a lot if you do. would recommend to a friend if they are willing to put in a lot of effort into the class. oh and labs! labs are forever long, and you have to write out every single labs. and sometimes you do two labs in one day.

Loves to tell many stories, very open about herself, extremely caring about students' beyond class performance! Tests are exactly like HWs & EASY grader on everything-grades on working/effort. Only 'bad' thing is she makes you write lab reports and do a poster, but little HW.

She is the BEST teacher ever!!!She sounds very hard but shes the easiest, shes very kind, and always give you help when you need it. But at times she can be a bit confusing, but she will make it clear if you ask her.

She is probably the nicest person ever, but grades harshly. More interested in how well you replicate what she wrote on the board than in whether you comprehend the material. If you like to just memorize and produce, this is the class for you. If you're better at actually learning things, take it from someone else.

She is the best teacher I ever had in my entire life. She work really hard for grading the test and lab book. Can you imagine that it took her half an hour to grade every test? She will give you point as long as you wrote something right on the test. You will learn a lot in her class. I am her student since I took chem 163. Love you Mrs.Berg

Mrs. Berg is the nicest, sweetest professor ever! She really wants you to be able to understand the material, so she developed several ways to help you learn it (mechanisms, songs, memorization tricks, etc.) You will have at least 3 hours of lab a week, and have a pre-lab and post-lab which take hours to fill out. Go to Chem club and Docs and dents

Teaches mechanism, what you will need and what the universities teach you!

teaches mechanism so you don't get screw once you transfer and also great for MCAT, dental, PA ,etc.

Great teacher; excited about the subject and always willing to help out her students. Labs are a lot of work.

I took Mrs. Berg for the entire Organic chemistry series and she was great! Tests were very reasonable and labs are lots of fun. She makes you work for your grade but if you show up and pay attention to her lectures you will get an A. Please do not procrastinate for studying for labs / quizzes. She is always there to help you for all your questions

Easy class! Show up and pay attention to lectures, online homework and study the lab. Easy A as long as you do those. She very helpful ask her anything.

Berg is an amazing lady, and a GREAT teacher. She loves chemistry and truly cares about her students. But her class is challenging. During my 2 years at BC I've been pretty much a 4.0 student. I worked hard in her class and ended up with a B+. Labs are long. Final is very tough. Overall, if you wanna learn chem TAKE BERG! Not the prof for an easy A

Amazing, inspiring instructor. period. You do have to put some effort to familiarize in her grading rubric. Always try to give you the highest possible point.

Professor Berg is one of the most inspirational chem teachers you will ever have. She really cares about you retaining the information she teaches in class. She will give you multiple opportunities to drop something if you did bad. She will always be willing to work with you outside of class if you confused. 10/10 teacher! Definitely take her

I had Mrs. Berg for the first 2 courses of the chem sequence. She is awesome and is always enthusiastic and excited about what she is teaching. Teaching style is old-fashioned (handwritten labs, no powerpoints, etc.) so if you're one to rely on online resources, stay away. Expect to spend lots of work/time, but she is a fair, even generous grader.

You've got to hand-write every lab in a notebook and there's a quiz before every lab, so make sure you know the reaction, the procedure, and the materials. Very picky grader, but takes off very little points, so it's still possible to get a good grade. She gives out hw that is pretty much like the test. Overall, solid teacher and a good choice!

Ms. Berg is very kind, and clearly has a passion for science which back up with lots of knowledge. However, she moved through the class material WAY too quickly. The lab days were jam packed, making it hard to go in depth and understand the concepts in order to do well on the tests. If you make time outside of class, she does really well explaining

Her passion for science is very clear and she is SO caring. She is always willing to meet up outside of class to help and always encourages her students to ask questions. She is a bit old school so she only uses the whiteboard for everything + she writes in cursive. She is also a VERY lenient on grading. Just do the workbook practice + reading!

Professor Berg is a professor who cares a lot about her students in her class. She's always available during her office hours and she is willing to help out those who are struggling in the class. She also gives additional extra credit and career opportunities to us if interested which I think is generous. She may be old school, but she's great.
