Over-teaches and patronizes the students. Acts as if students are children. Makes material look too simple and then complicates the exams unnecessarily. Focuses on theory on exams more than she leads you to believe in lectures. Overall, mediocre at best.

Maximum use of website. Class and notes are extremely well structured. Past exams available on website as well as chapter problems. Best strategy, study from class notes, and practice exams, textbook problems are secondary. If you experience exam anxiety this is not the class for you.

rushes through things and doesn't explain properly. why are the exams so hard? does she realize that at least half of the people in her class arent even in chemistry and are only taking the class because they have to? devoting the time needed to get a good grade in the class takes way too much time away from important subjects.

The material to be studies isn't too difficult but this teacher often rushes through as she explains things in far too much detail which always ends up confusing you more. by the end of the semester you don't end up finishing the required work and her exams are far too hard. Doing well in this class will take your attention away from other classes.

CHEM 205 is a heavy course, but Dr. Rogers makes it bearable. Fantastic lecturer, and is very clear as to what will be on exams. Practice her past midterms and finals, study her lecture slides, do OWL practice problems, and most importantly, show up to all of her lectures. Rogers wants her students to succeed and is definitely a top-tier prof.

Dr. Rogers is caring and helpful! Her lecture is amazing, try to attend every lecture you will get 5%. Try to take her course, and you wont regret your decision! Sometimes there will be some problems about grade calculations. Dont hesitate, come to her office hours and tell her your situation! Miracles will happen!

As far as the lecture is concerned Mrs Rogers is a great teacher, she knows her stuff. However, this course is by far one of the least modern in the uni there are far too many components you're graded by and making a tut and lab mandatory with the class is just ridiculous. It's too much mandatory stuff and when you're full time it is terrible!

Well, she's a smart individual and you can tell that she's a good chemist. However teaching is not for her, it doesn't mean if you're good at something that you're automatically good at teaching it, probably research is her play ground but NOT teaching. Get ready to be your own tutor!!

Started to realize towards the end of the semester that her explanations for otherwise simple concepts were quite convoluted and confusing. Chem 206 also has one of the most tedious components ever devised for a course. Final exam did not reflect posted past finals, very unfair. Overall: brilliant prof who means well, but a frustrating class.

A very heavy course, but taking it with Dr Rogers makes it a lot more bearable. She is extremely passionate about the subject, and makes it hard for you to not be at least a little interested in it. Even for someone like me who went into the class dreading chemistry.

I don't know what it is about her, but she goes off on tangents that aren't necessarily about the topic at hand. Would be nice if she went through problems step by step and wrote on the board for once. She's a decent lecturer but if you're absent minded or have attention problems it'll be a chore.

Like others have mentioned, the material itself is easy, but she made it really hard by giving a ridiculous amount of homework, with mandatory attendence of lectures, tutorials, and weekly quizzes. This is not high school, and learning should be independent at unviersity. Students should have right to decide which learning style best suits them

Genuinely cares about her students and knows the content well, but I ended up learning from YouTube & watching her recorded videos at 1.75x. I didnt really understand her explanations. Go to the optional lectures because less people go so its a bit more interactive and she explains problems more thoroughly.

Adding my voice to the choir: Dr. Rogers is the single most caring professor I've ever had. For a first-year general chemistry course, the sheer amount of effort she put in was incredible. Yes, there are many lectures; watch only what you need. There's a lot of information, and not very much time. You need to prioritize that which you do not know.

Honestly such an amazing prof. The course itself is not the easiest, but if you follow along her lectures and ask questions you'll be fine. Although she posts a lot of long lectures to watch, they're REALLY beneficial. She doesn't leave a single thing out. Watch them in advance and take notes. Taking her again for 206 cause of how much I liked her!

I dropped out of science in cégep due to chemistry and ended up doing a BCOMM and hated my career path. Decided to give science a try again and was utterly terrified of chemistry, since I had failed so miserably the first time. Not only did I get an A+ in both 205 and 206, but Dr Rogers managed to make me fall madly in love with chemistry.
