Everything is explained on an extremely basic level -- defined chemistry as "all stuff and what it does." I learned more in my high school chem class. A good professor to take if you already know your stuff and just want to get the requirement filled. Bring a good book or find a Hangman partner.

her lectures are all over the place, she makes irrelevant analogies that confuse you even more. you'll study everything from the book for the exams and absolutely nothing you studied are on the test. when you ask her questions she just yells at you. never asks if you have any questions, and if you do, she doesn't answer them.

I just started bringing other homework to class. Her lectures were scattered and generally unhelpful but she would do things in class so you had to show up. The class wasn't very hard, just very frustrating!

Bad Professor... i recommend not taking her class.. she is very confusing... she confuses the whole class by confusing herself!... very unorganize with her lecture notes.... gives out quizes in lab and diss. doesn't explain homework problem... i learned more by reading the book then going to class! Don't take her!

Don't take this professor!

She has absolutely no idea what she is doing, which makes you just as lost. She softspoken and really nice but not helpful at all. When she writes they have little to nothing to do with the tests and the book is just as bad, she almost constantly loses herself. JUST DONT TAKE HER. Save yourself the trouble.

Terrible teacher. Not really helpful at all, her directions just cause more confusion. Way too strict with notebooks, it has to be formatted perfectly and turned in within a couple minutes of her asking for them or she won't accept it. If I could give her all zeros I would. AVOID HER LAB AT ALL COSTS.

She is not helpful at all. Just because I look at the back of the book to see if I got my answer correct, she got all mad.

She sucks don't take her. The class is pointless to go to. All her quiz questions are all online.

No point in going to class the book is easier to learn from, but she does things like take attendance and gives points and class worksheets at the very end. And she won't let you make up worksheets. Terrible teacher, and won't cooperate with you what so ever.

DONT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!

She is such a bad professor & not helpful at all! She does not know how to explain what she is doing & her notes are all over the place! Avoid her if possible!!

She is very unclear in what she expects out of students, she's an incredibly tough grader, and she doesn't really help you much when you ask for her help. Its like pulling teeth.. During lab, she leaves the room while we are performing experiments, which is a huge safety concern for us, but not a concern of hers obviously.

Brackett is the worst Professor I've had. Period. She isn't clear in her lectures, and makes an easy topic difficult by the way she teaches it. I'm a 3.8GPA student, and I didn't get an A in this class. NO ONE in my class got an A with her. Her exams aren't based on the hw or lectures, but on some random sentence in the book she expects you to read

Worst professor I have ever had. Gave us extra credit just for being at the lecture before spring break, as long as you signed the roll sheet. I went up to speak with her after class, completely forgetting to sign the roll sheet. I asked her, "If I show proof of me being there, can I still receive the points." Her response, "No, it's a done deal."

I would not suggest taking this class if you are not a chem major. She grades on a curve but it is set high because of the chem majors. You can earn points by doing the in class group assignments so attendance is mandatory. There are practice tests but they are extremely long. You need the book to teach yourself.

I hated this class. She was very boring when lecturing and wasn't very confident. One time she was lecturing and was like "I think this is on your next test I don't know I forgot just learn it". Her tests were alright you just have to study from her online study guides. The only time i used the book was when I would go see my tutor.

She is a very boring prof. i had her for Chem Discussion and she did help at all. Plus she was kind of rude to the class.

Never opened my book once, and still passed the class. Just study the practice exams she provides. However, I wouldn't recommend taking her as a professor. She's not helpful at all and if you're not a CHEM major, she could care less about you. She grades on a curve which was probably the only positive thing about the class.

If you take her for discussion just know that the class is just quizzes you can get 120% but you need to bring your book and calculator. If you want the discussion for working on chemistry and not just tests, take any other teacher

The prelabs are incredibly specific and she will NEVER go over what you need to do during the lab before hand. Honestly just go with a different lab teacher she is very nit picky but she doesnt explain what she wants you to know or do in order to be prepared for the next class. She doesnt help during lab she sits at a computer and leaves class.

If you have a question, don't expect an answer. If you understand it, expect her to make you teach the class. If no one gets it, she'll just tell you all to leave and then you still don't get it but there's homework due...

We never got to half of the chapters we were to do. She gives students different grades for a group project two in my group got a ten while the other three got a six. She is very slow with her lecture and reviews material so much so that we fall extremely behind. Does not like it when challenged with questions about the subj we are discussing.

I would not recommend this professor. She has a very dull and monotone way of presenting the material and never ends class early. The questions on the quizzes are designed for you to get them wrong. Ace every test and you can still end up with a C in the class. Look for someone else!

Personal feelings: I hate her more than any professor I've had. Very rude. Won't help you w/questions. Unbiased commentary: If you don't complete every lab assignment exactly how she tells you to, you WILL get kicked out of lab & have to make up labs on your own. Very difficult grader and very picky on every detail.

This Professor is WAY too nit picky! Evreything in lab is done in a notebook that has to be HER way or you get kicked out, and takes points off very things that shouldn't.l I would NOT recommend...

I'll keep it plain and simple, stay away from Chem 1000 with Brackett.

The grading scale used does not make sense. A quiz is graded on a higher scale than an exam since everything done within the class is a total weight of 85% with the final being weighed 15%.. There is no distinction between group work, the quizzes, or exams. she chooses to lecture on a blank sheet of paper as opposed to power points.

The notes taken in class are not helpful for the exams she does post the practice questions and if you do those and memorize all of the answers you will do good on her exams. You have to show up because she hands out random group work that cannot be made up. You have to put in the time and effort to essentially teach yourself because she can't.

This professor is absolutely useless! No help, no explanation. She will not teach you anything, yet expects perfection with no direction. She should feel guilty for being detrimental to a students academic path. Avoid at all cost!!!

She's one of those professors that writes out the notes on paper during class. She gives us "practice tests" with exact same questions on exams but she doesn't give you the correct answers. She gives out extra credit at the very end of the semester. Her syllabus states there'll be pop quizzes (there were none.) Don't try kissing up bc it won't work

Very strict with notebooks, she made me reprint a whole report because the ink was too light yet she could read it fine. She isnt very nice and definitely not approachable at all. I would suggest not to take her class if you are trying to pass!

This woman is completely unsympathetic, and unwilling to help. She lectures by hand writing notes on a projector and does so in the most boring way possible. Most classes are only lecture. She does not provide adequate study guides and jumps around the book making it very hard to study.

Worst professor in the Chemistry department! She's rude and she isn't willing to help her students. She gets annoyed real easily when she gets questions asked, and she shows students attitude. She puts everyone's grades online for everybody to see and she is super disrespectful. Absolutely horrible!

Id highly suggest anyone taking any of her classes. She writes all her notes as she verbally says them and if she goes off track and thinks about something else, it will be written down. Youd probably learn more from the textbook than actually coming to class but if you do miss maybe 1 class, you might miss a very very large in class assignment.

Brackett is a rude professor and her lecture notes don't reflect of what's going to be on the test. Students are better off reading from the textbook and doing the textbook problems rather than reading off her lecture notes because they make a lot more sense. She is not willing to help her students out and does not care about her students.

She writes down all her notes but they do not reflect what's going to be on the test. I had to get a tutor to help me better understand the material because her notes made absolutely no sense. Plus, she is rude and she has an attitude towards her students. It is almost like she takes pride in making students feel dumb. She is the worst!

Worst professor Ive ever encountered. Shes not there to help students AT ALL! Super rude, I went to office hours for clarification on an assignment that wasnt explained enough in class & wasnt labeled on her syllabus & when I asked her for clarification she told me to look at blackboard. Obviously I have & its not clear thats why Im asking

She is ruthless. I got a D, and I was on the higher end. If youre taking her, you CANNOT bail out.

I give 0 rating to this professor. DO NOT TAKE HER. Doesn't care about the students if they fail, she wants you to fail. She is disrespectful, and gets mad sometimes when go to her office hours. I rather take a different professor. Take stessman instead never take her. I know people that changed their major because of her.

Professor brackett was horrible. She does not like to help her students nor does she like to respond to email when her students are in need of help. I personally would never take her again. Her lab was extremely hard, and does explain things. Her grading is very heavy and it effects you bad.

If I could give her a 0 I would. It seems she doesn’t care about students succeeding. She answers ?’s vaguely and is bothered if you ask follow up ?’s. VERY tough grader. We had pop quizzes. She’s a unpleasant person to say the least, multiple students left class crying. If you can get any other professor, save yourself the stress

Would not recommend this professor very difficult to work with!

She is not a good teacher. Her class is so boring and her lectures are pointless. She uses Pearson which is more useful than her lectures. When we would do presentations, she would fall asleep in class. I would recommend not taking her class.

She quit letting us use our notes and phones for worksheets. Then proceeds to hand us quizzes. Both the worksheets and the quizzes get below average grades. There is also no teaching from her end. Dismisses questions. Discussion should be a way to receive an easy A, chem is hard. Starting to really believe the entire chem department needs rehiring.

Please take any other class except hers. She doesn't give clear instructions for labs and takes points off. She isn't understanding of circumstances and will call you out in front of everyone if you make a mistake. Her requirements for lab notebook and turning in lab reports are ridiculous. I have to print about 15 pages weekly for her class.
