Don't take this class with her.

Really, really the worst chemistry teacher ever.

She is the worst teacher ever. I took her class just to get a passing grade, but it seems it's impossible with her way of teaching and with the hard exams that she gives. Don't Take her class!!

Dr. Clara is the worst lecturer I ever had. I recommend you take chemistry from a different lecturer if you want to pass. Her exams are ridiculously hard as students are scoring low grades . Do not take her class.

Dr. Clara is the worst lecturer in Cpcc. She doesn't care about her students. I could not believe she can turn results without letting her students know their scores. Stay away from class. The worst mistake I ever made is taking her class.

Adam's is awful, she doesn't do a good job managing the time in the class. Steer clear if you want to pass. Class average was 50-60% on tests.

I can't pay attention to her as much as I try. I have to tune her out and read the book. We get an hour and a half to finish test when we have lots of formulas to write and rewrite as part of "showing all your work" and she says that she can do each question in 5 min, WELL OF COURSE SHE CAN, SHE HAS BEEN DOING THIS HER WHOLE CAREER!!

She cares about her student but she doesn't know how to break down her lecture so her student can understand what she's trying to explain, it's very confusing and frustrating. So basically she knows her stuff; she's just horrible at teaching it.

Worst teacher I've had at CPCC!!! Class test averages were 40-60%. She confuses herself while lecturing and doesn't really answer students questions. She gave extra credit that was around 20 questions and took students up to 3 days to complete, for only 5 points added to a test... I should have looked her up on here before taking her class..

This teacher is by far the worst, do not take her... lecture does not make ANY SENSE and neither do her notes I should have listened to the reviews please do not take her I promise you'll only want to drop the class.

do not take this class! she teaches with printed out notes and writes it on the board word for word(im pretty sure). then erases it and does it again.. she should use Powerpoints. Very fast paced. Owl homework isn't too bad. Practice test have like 50 questions and tests are around 20 questions. This will probably be my first "c"

Taking her class was one of the worst mistake I make during this semester.. class tests average was 40% - 45% ... she doesnt care

This class was online, the final was worth 30% of your grade. The weekly assignments did not adequately prepare you for the tests. The class averages were 50-60% on the tests. Unless Chemistry is a strong subject for you, I do not recommend taking her class.

One of the least compassionate professors I ever had before. She is not understanding and doesn't care what your excuse is; she will fail you.

i don't like her. she is really a tough grader. whoever takes her class, beware!

shes a really mean teacher. makes me feel like she dont care bout nuthing. she sucks!!!!!!!!!!

She grades everything so harshly. I can't even learn properly in her class. It's like she's a machine that just writes, writes, and writes...

This was the hardest and worst class I have ever taken. She isnt helpful either. She always send back snarky comments. I dont know if its on purpose or not...

Don't take this professor. Choose someone else.

Do NOT take this class with her. She always came off as rude and didn't care if there were misunderstandings. If you didn't understand an assignment or missed one, good luck.

Do not take her class! Comes across rude, lectures you anytime you try to communicate with her, requires work to be turned in 2 days soon than all other professors at the college (Friday vs Sunday) and don't even think about asking for an extension, even by 8 hours. Never had an issue with a class prior to her!

She's very intelligent but acts as if she has a chip on her shoulder. The volume of busy work is absolutely ridiculous. I should have read these reviews prior to enrolling in her class.

ive personally never hated chemistry till i took this class. i knew it wouldnt be that fun but dr. adams made it horrible. i still have my final left to take but this class isnt one i would recommend to anyone especially online.

ive never disliked science until i took her course. she is not available by email, and if you need help the day of, she wont be back to you for 24 hours at least. no lectures, no class calls, grades hard. If i can give anyone advice choose someone else. i worked so hard in that class, to receive a D.

Dr. Adams' class had a ridiculous amount of coursework. Her lectures did not help very much and when I tried to reach out she made me feel stupid. Without getting taught properly it made me struggle on homework assignments and all the other busy work. Tests were even worse. I have always done fine with chemistry but her class ruined me.

Absolutely avoid this Professor. This professor does not like to answer questions often getting annoyed by them and ignores the student. She demands respect yet she gives none. Overall just a teacher with 0 passion.

You are better off enrolling in a different college to take this course instead of doing it here with Dr. Adams. This course moves so fast my tutors couldnt event keep up with it. Any time you try to reach out for help, you get very little or no response. In fact, this course itself made me decide to leave this college and go to a different state.

No, just no

honestly has no passion to see students do well in her course. the whole class would fail exams repeatedly and instead of reviewing she would keep on while nobody understands. she also takes 24-48 hours to reply and you most likely will have to email her twice. one of the worst professors i have ever had in my college experience. if you can avoid!

absolutely the worst professor at cpcc. she should reconsider her career path as there is no passion.

Never once answered any of emails even after emailed multiple times . Her lecture videos were not helpful at all, never helped her students in the labs, she didn't help to make sure we were doing it correctly. She is very inconsiderate of others time and didn't let me make up a lab when I had document proof that I had COVID.

Lecture material is provided after assignments/labs/quizzes are due. Only time that you have all the material you need to be successful is on exams, which have short time limits. Do not ask her about why material is provided post due date because she will straight up lie/deny. Class averages on ALL exams were between 20-40 and she did not curve.

Professor Adams, had extremely long lectures that were not helpful. The only way to do good in the class is to do good on the test, which was very hard to do, when class averages were anywhere from 30-50% on each test. The only thing that helped me get an A was the extra credit (DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!!!) and scoring well on all the test.

Professor Adams is extremely rude. She doesn't let you have any off days.

Never again avoid like the plague

ONLINE OR IN PERSON SHE IS HORRIBLE AND WILL MAKE YOU REGRET ALL LIFE DECISIONS. WORDS CAN NOT EVEN EXPRESS HOW BAD THIS CHM 152 IS WITH HER. SAVE YOURSELF WHILE YOU CAN AND LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS.

If reviews and teacher evaluations actually anything.. DR. ADAMS would honestly be jobless. She does not care about you in any way, has no respect for you whatsoever, and makes getting a simple A impossible. Online or in-person, beware because the dog will bite

I understand that chemistry is a hard subject, but this lady makes it even harder. Study guides for her tests are vague and do not help at all. Please take all of these ratings into consideration and drop her class if you have her. Your life will be less stressful

This course is by far the worst course I've ever taken made difficult due to the professor and lack of teaching clearly. I got an A in Chem 151 and in this course I'm barely scraping by with a C. In meetings she is condescending and blames my lack of work ethic and time management. Even after stating I work 4-5 hours a day on work for this class.

This professor and her teaching methods made this class harder then it needed to be. The lecture exams are extremely difficult and weighs heavily on your grade. She is not helpful when you go to speak to her about your grade, just says you should try harder. Highly recommend finding a different professor for CHM152 and drop her ASAP.

Take the reviews seriously. I decided to take it despite the reviews. Study guides are nothing like the test (usually just definition, chem is more than vocab). When seeking help and changes she questioned our studying and work ethic. Despite studying with classmates for 5hrs daily.

You basically have to teach yourself everything her lectures are not well explained. Besides teaching yourself you will still find concepts on the exam THAT WERE NOT TOUGHT. The only good thing I will give her credit for is that there is extra credit.

I took this course online,I highly recommend NOT. If you have the time to do 2 test 2 labs 3 quizzes and 6 homework assignments a week all while trying to learn the material from 3 hour long lectures everyday. Then maybe this is the class for you. This was by far the hardest class I've ever taken 0/10 don't recommend.

THIS WAS AWFUL! Be prepared to have a crap ton of homework assignments, 2 lab assignments a week (with a pre-lab, lab report, and post-lab), 2 tests every 2 weeks, 3 hours of unhelpful lectures, and hours of teaching yourself. She made the course much harder than it needed to be. Take it anywhere else if possible. I do not recommend this course.

I am appalled by this inconsiderate professor and the way she sets her students up for failure. I take my grades seriously. I spent countless hours and entire nights studying for exams barely resembling the material used to teach this course. I may not be the smartest student but I work hard and I will forever attribute my first B to Clara Adams.

Please do not take this course. There is a disconnect between the material distributed to the students and the material that is on the exams. Dr Adams shared the test averages after every unit exam and almost all of them were around 60%. I take my grades seriously. After 2 years of being a 4.0 student, this class handed me my first B.

Pros: can earn 5 bonus points and your worst lecture exam gets dropped Cons: seems like she doesn't understand her own material, often makes common math errors, terrible grader. Exams include questions without enough information. Do not take her class

My experience with Professor Adams in CHM-152 was exceptionally poor. My grade was based on five exams, a method that failed to accurately measure my knowledge or effort. As a result, I received an unjust D, endangering my graduation plans. This is inconsistent with my academic record and reflects a flawed and unfair grading approach.

You will not know your current grade in the class until the end of the semester. Tests were hardly related to the homework, reviews, and lectures. The reviews helped a little, but she makes her own tests that DO NOT resemble the resources she provides. She gives 5 points extra credit if you do the EC work and drop the lowest unit exam grade.

If you plan on failing chemistry this is the place for you. I hate her attractive self.

One major issue with her class is that the practice tests provided were not aligned with the actual exams.If maintaining a good GPA is important to you,l would advise against. taking any chemistry class with this professor.

Avoid at all costs. Teaches like it's a postgrad course not a community college course for working adults. Auto-graded assignments due Friday rather than Sunday. 48 hours to do the pre-lab quiz, lab, and post-lab quiz. Deducts lab points based on mood rather than by a rubric I dedicated hours a day but still had to withdraw and lose all my tuition

lecture videos are not useful. Extra credits are rare, review quizzes are uselessly heavy, actual test are different from it. Try your best to understand in class, especially when she solve the problems on the In-class worksheet. Tests look 85% like the in-class problem worksheet. She is strict, doesn't allow re-opening for any missed assignments.
