If you absolutely love chemistry and if you believe you will outsmart this teacher than take her, if not don't bother. Turner rolls her eyes at you for asking so many questions and doesn't help her students for nothing. If your answer on a test is 3 she marks it wrong for not writing 3.0. Not very well at grading.

She doesn't explain things well (including policy, assignments), doesn't prepare for labs, grades in class instead of helping or watching students, has a bad attitude towards students, and is very harsh at grading. She will spend 15 mins explaining things then ignores you the rest of class. The lab assistant has taught me more than this lady has.

This is the worst professor I have ever had. If you plan to keep your GPA high, I don't recommend taking her. She is unclear on EVERYTHING, including the material that needs to be taught. Tests are all cumulative and her study guides are not what is on the test. She doesn't seem to have an attitude or personality compatible with being a professor

I usually don't rate professor but I am going out of my way to tell everyone to choose a different chemistry professor, this lady hands down the worst I have had.

I will say that this lady is by far the worst teacher I have ever had! She doesn't explain anything thoroughly! God forbid you ask her a question she will just tell you its wrong and not explain why. All tests are cumulative and she will give a 7 page front and back test and expect you to complete it in 45 mins. PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! She just goes over very simple examples and wastes valuable time class letting students do exercises they don't even understand. Her tests are cumulative, she is not really helpful during office hours. By all means stay away!!

Terrible teacher. Her math was a just not very good. Stay away! I scored the top score for the chemistry final exam in high school, but because she kills your grades for stupid mistakes, I knew ALL the material but got points off for sloppy work. She seems like a nice person, so that's fine, but she just really doesn't teach chemistry well.

Absolute WORST teacher I have had in both my college and high school career. She is constantly behind schedule, which leads to performing labs on topics not yet discussed in lecture. She is disorganized and unclear with what she wants in lab reports. She is also rude if you ask her a question.. AVOID THIS PROFESSOR AT ALL COSTS.

Mrs Turner is by far the most unorganized teacher I have ever had, I have her for Lab and Lecture and practically every lab day she forgets to set stuff up and/or explains it poorly. Her tests are ridiculous because she doesn't even mention a quarter of the problems. She offers extra credit, but won't teach you it and tells you to learn it yourself

Ms. Turner is a glorified babysitter. Here is what you can expect: -Few lectures, countless worksheets -No study guides -Unrelated questions on tests -Horrific grading/ email delays -Minute extra credit opportunities -Unclear/ ambiguous grading -No keeping your tests -Discouragement of critical thinking and innovative problem solving Avoid her.

All exams are written. No multiple choice. She doesn't teach everything that's on her homework and exams. That's been a recurring issue. She basically expects you to teach yourself after she presents the content to you. Might as well replace her with a textbook. Compared to other chemistry teachers she's hard.

DO NOT TAKE HER! If you are not a pro in chemistry this class will ruin your life. There's no multiple choice on her exams , grading style is ridiculous, she teaches like if her students were all scientist with full knowledge on content . You basically have to teach yourself after she throws all the information at you. Very intimidating.

Avoid Ms. Turner at all cost. Her lectures are spotty, she spends an unnecessary amount of time on countless worksheets that aren't graded, there are no study guides given, she adds unrelated questions to tests and homework, and her grading criteria makes it impossible to receive an A. She teaches her classes as if we are chemists with a degree.

She is by far the WORST professor that I have ever encountered. Every time someone didn't understand and asked her a question, she belittled them in front of the whole class. If you know whats good for you, DO NOT take her.

Turner isn't passionate to teach. She gives several hand outs a week to make up for her lack of lecturing. Seems quite annoyed at any question you ask. She lectures her class about how stupid they are more than she lectures the material. Not approachable in the slightest. Feels like the class is set up to weed-out rather than inspire.

If there's a positive review on here, its likely written by Turner herself. Take someone - nay - anyone else.

Teacher grades very hard. She lectures for exams however, material is not used on exams so it is redundant to study hard.

This teacher is not ready to be a professor, she's barely ready to be a substitute. You can tell she treats teaching as an obligation and that she does not want to be there. Spends two whole lectures on a class and does not test it on exams. DO NOT USE HER EXAM REVIEWS. She makes a huge list of things to know for the exam and only tests a quarter.

This teachers grading is very peculiar. You can get a question 80% correct and she will mark it completely wrong. She gives free-b questions like "what was something interesting you learned this semester?" and she marked it wrong for me. Very interesting.

She doesn't let you keep the test so knowing how to improve is hard. Especially if she goes over the test in the last 10 minutes of class making it hard to write down the questions you missed. She has very little interest in chemistry or teaching in general and she treats it like a job she hates. Doesn't know how to answere hard chemistry questions

Definitely not ready to be a chem teacher. Doesnt seem to understand the material well enough to teach it. makes huge grading mistakes. Doesnt show up for office hours. Argues and gives excuses instead of helping. I would take any option over taking her class. Poorly prepares the class for exams and homework.

She is willing to explain anything to you but her class is very difficult to pass. Tests are hard and not at all similar to the examples that we go over in class. The grade is only based off exams and some homework assignments. Took her for Organic Chemistry I

AWFUL! This teacher does not care about students or teaching, she hates her job, shouldnt be teaching. Tests are so so hard and her grading policy is very unfair! Her class is unnecessarily difficult. I had to take her because I registered late but ANY other teacher would have been better than her, Im sure. Seriously, dont take her class.

Ugh. Doesn't help at all in lab. The lab info she gives is very vague and you basically have to figure it out for yourself. You'll never get over a 90 on a lab. She is a tough grader and she just writes a bunch of red marks everywhere. I took her for both lecture and lab and I would advise you all to NOT take her.

My last class before I graduate- worst prof ever. Constant mistakes in learning matierial and tests. She had lots of problems with Canvas. Vague directions for labs, etc. Very slow to put in grades. Unlocked new modules/assignments late, or uploaded wrong assignments. Makes excuses. Seems like her job is a huge hassle. Avoid her!

Most likely will take your final exam without all assignments for the tested chapter submitted . Tough grader , without clear requirements. If she does not understand your answer you will get no credit. Chemistry class with a test for majority of the chapters , with free response questions included .

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! All tests are written. I went to tutoring and I still failed this class. She acts like she cares but she really doesnt. She excepts us to know everything like we have a degree in chemistry. She gives extra credit but it doesnt help as much as you would think. Pretty sure Half of my class failed.

ABORT ABORT ABORT! If you have signed up for her course and are shooting for an A this is not the right professor, she is completely unorganized and doesn't care for the students learning experience . She also creates trick questions for her tests that are never taught within the lecture or homework. Finally, she's stubborn and stingy with grading.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!!!! She is terrible. You can tell she hates teaching, her class is unnecessarily difficult. Its an Intro class for Gods sake, she expects you know everything already. She is extremely discouraging, a student in my class asked a question and she told her she should choose a different career if she couldnt understand that.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT take this teacher. This teacher will make your life a living hell. I managed to barely pass with a C but more than half of my class failed. So much time, energy and money wasted bc of her. Im not expecting an easy class but she makes it harder for no reason at all.

She should no longer have a job. Worst professor so far. She could care less about whether you understand the material. Very sink or swim kind of mentality. Again, she should be fired. Unorganized, and she likes to make excuses for her inability to keep up with her workload. Test 4 was graded before Test 3 was. We dont see how we did on exams.

She is terrible DO NOT take her. She could care less about helping you. Her tutoring times were horrible. She talks down on the students all the time. She would also call out on certain people who didn't understand something. She shouldn't be allowed to teach. Her class is honestly unnecessarily hard. Tests are extremely difficult and hand written.

She is just the worst professor Ive ever had, not just because she does not care about students understanding and learning but because of the environment that she creates in the classroom, we feel lost, dumb, like we bother her, like she is there to make us suffer. (Mrs Turner, its an intro class for gods sake!).

Absolutely terrible teacher. I emailed her plenty of times and only got a response when she felt like responding (which was basically never). Very sarcastic and likes to pick on certain students. On top of that, all of her tests were free response questions. Her lecture was terrible. Read off the power point and provide terrible reviews for tests.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Her syllabus is not organized. She grades heavily and does not even follow her rubric. She'll give you an F on an assignment with no explanation. She doesn't respond to emails, and when she does it's typically short one-worded responses. She requires A LOT of papers, and two group papers - in a chemistry class...

If you are looking for a sign not to take Turner, THIS IS IT. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. She is the absolute worst and sabotages you from the beginning. She BARELY covers the material, you have to school yourself for hours, she will not help. TEST and quizzes and homework are murderous. NO CURVES OR EXTRA CREDIT

What ever you do, even if she the last Professor the campus has to offer , DO NOT TAKE professor Turner class. I never write reviews on Professor even if they are good teachers, but I had to for Professor Turner. I promise you, YOU WILL STRUGGLE in her class, YOUR GRADES WILL DROP in her class, YOU WILL BARELY PASS HER CLASS, and FAIL ALL HER TEST

Do not take her. I thought I would have more attention and thoroughness by taking Organic Chemistry at a community college, but I was wrong. She does not teach the material in the order it should be taught. You HAVE to learn it by yourself. There is no other way. She made a mistake in one of her lectures was rude when I asked for clarification.

HORRIBLE! When I took this class it didn't state that it had a lab included and the materials were so expensive on top of McGraw hill and the class itself. She doesn't teach anything you are on your own. Barley responded and so much paper for a chem class. I had more essays in this class than my English 2. Also there two group work. AGAIN HORRIBLE!

HORRIBLE. DO NOT take this course. Professor does not respond with more than two words. NO help at all, you are on your own. Has no idea what she is talking about it seems like. Labs are very difficult and EXPENSIVE, you have to buy all kinds of unnecessary inconvenient materials. Do yourself a favor and take this course with another professor.

The student is always wrong. It is never her fault she forgot to explain the homework, or maybe she forgot to mention the test, or she says "I covered that topic in my 50+ minutes of orientation video", or she may even mark you as absent despite sitting right in front of her. She doesn't apologize, it's never her fault.

I created an account just to review this terrible professor. I've never seen someone that cares so little about their job. She doesn't teach anything, is extremely unorganized, won't grade within the time frame, and brags about being a rough grader (when she doesn't teach to begin with). Do not take this professor.

This professor sucks! I had separate lecture and lab teachers so I'd be in her lab class while my lecture was behind so I was confused a lot by the material. If you ask her for help she will yell and belittle you. I now have to retake intro to chem lab because she is such a tough grader.

There are weekly labs that require stuff, not on the syllabus; so, weekly shopping is needed (NO SUBSTITUTIONS) and all materials cost me $350. Auto graded questions say correct answers are wrong and she does not check them. Every test/quiz is monitored and you have to record each lab and put it on youtube. Did not grade an essay submitted on time.

when I went on rate my professor to find one for Chemistry and society I ignored the bad comments about this professor. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE!!! She does not grade anything on time, does not communicate well or at all, doesnt grade accurately, and overall just not kind. 0/10 would not recommend. please take someone else. she doesnt care.

I was extremely disappointed by this professor. Tons of useless work. She never graded anything on time, so I never knew how I was doing. No feedback whatsoever. My GPA dropped significantly because of her inability to teach. Her lectures are terrible. Stay away from this class.

Don't take her! she doesn't care about the students, she is so unclear with the instructions and expects us to know what she wants. all the class has D's and low C's and she doesn't care to consider we need help. We try talking to her but instead she says follow the instructions. Don't risk ur GPA/ money taking her. VERY not considerant :(((((((

Failed lecture but passed lab, felt like I was getting gas lit when I asked for help. do not recommend

I do not recommend her at all. If you can avoid taking her please do so. She is very unclear in her instructions for both lecture and lab. Expects us to know certain things when we have not covered the topics. Does not matter if you make an effort on a question for a test, if it is not the CORRECT way to solve it you will get it wrong.

My son and A+ student in private education, with great teachers. Drives 1 hr daily for no reason. She is not clear on her instructions and practice to the tests. My son states she is always with bad attitude, uninspiring the students to continue with their paths. As a Former teacher, i believe teacher like that should not be in college.

Not good.

Why HCC doesn't do anything about this teacher. Half of class dropped and the ones left were hoping for a D. People doesn't learn memorizing lists of chemical symbols. You wont learn anything!

Ms. Turner lacks any enthusiasm for teaching, and often leaves many of her students still confused after lessons. She is awful, and unhelpful if you contact her during her non class office hours. She will pass out graded tests forgetting to put it in the grade book, and fail you if you can't give it back to her in time (happened twice) 0\10

She doesn't give much explanation for each lab.She is a tough grader and doesn't give any extra credit or second chances.The emails are not responded and it is hard to ask questions because she usually doesn't give clear answer.With all the respect,I would not recommend taking her class even if there is not another section available at the time.

This class has a lot of extra requirements that add to the cost and workload. The professor doesn't provide much guidance, so it's essential to use resources like unstuckstudy to prepare for tests and stay on top of the material.

A lot of supplies are required. She struggles to break down difficult information and is a poor communicator. She is a tough grader. Peers in my class scored so low that she created a huge curve by the end of the course to have her remaining students pass. I do not recommend.

She does NOT know how to teach. She's tough on how she grades the tests. Wants definition questions on test to be exactly how she concocted them in her mind, can't be even ONE word off or it's wrong. When you ask a question to understand a topic in class, she just gives random analogies that leave me even more confused.

She takes her time to explain, but her test and homework are just not it, very ambiguous and unclear. Be ready for written exams and no multiple choices. Don't recommend.

This professor may know the subject she teaches but she DOES NOT know how to teach it to others. She does not prepare you for tests that are difficult or think about how much this class costs. Not to mention she will give you 8 assignments to do in one week and 3 are labs that you have to buy materials for. Would not recommend to take.
