she is great little fast but very helpful .... just a great person and prof.

Wonderful teacher! Really cares about her students and is always willing to help. You have to work hard, but that's the way it should be.

Homework assignments are optional, but do help to do. Great prof. Easy to talk to. Would recommend her to anyone.

Dr. P is a great teacher. She cares about you and how you do in her class. I hated chem before her, now i kinda like it. She is a great professor all around!

Great class. I wasn't interested in Chemistry before the class, but she made it interesting and easy to learn. Very nice and open to questions.

She talks very softly, so sometimes it is hard to hear her ; very helpful if you ask, otherwise it is assumed you can do it; great in lab

Dr. P was a great professor. She is very helpful and will go over any problem even if only one person has a question on it. You should definately try to get in her class if you can.

Most amazing professor i ever had. I did not understand chem at all before i took her class and ended up with an A! The only bad part of the class is the 1000000000 homework assiggnments, but they help you to understand the material anyway.

She is super approachable! Her tests are hard, but she gives lots of extra credit. She is without a doubt the best Chem prof if you're in Pre-Pharm! She always wants everyone to understand the material and I think she enjoys what she teaches. If you're comparing Dr. Jacobs to her, it is NO contest. Take Dr. P! (I barely studied and got a B+)

I didn't like her at all the first week, but it just takes a little while for her personality to show. She's very approachable, the homework isn't graded, and she does the notes along with the class, so its easy to follow. SHe also gives a lot of extra credit.

Very nice teacher, and not intimidating. Very helpful and has many available times to meet in her office. i would recommend this professor to anyone.

Dr. P rocks!!! Labs were fairly easy and applied material from lecture well, and the exams were pretty straightforward as long as you do the practice exams and pay attention during class (she also has review sessions outside of class if you need extra help). She's kinda quiet though, so be sure you sit near the front so you can hear her.

She was the best Chem teacher I ever had. Very nice teacher and will help you if you ask, she also gives good notes, i had it as a summer class so it was a little faster but still she was a GREAT teacher. Take over any other 121 teacher

Dr. P is one of the best teachers I've ever had at Ferris. I took her for Chem 121 and 122, and she is great! She's always willing to help students. I would definitely recommend her.

absolutly LOVE dr. p!!! if you have to take chemistry TAKE DR. P!!!!!!!!

I loved Dr. P. She is so helpful and she know what she is talking about. She is also very easlily approachable and you really get the feelling she WANTS you to do well in the class. I recommend her highly!

I really like Dr.P! I love that her class isn't based solely on exams. She gives quizzes, online homework, and minor extra credit. There are always practice assignments if you don't understand the material, and her practice exams in the coursepack are JUST like the exams in class. You might struggle though if you haven't had chem before this class.

she does not teach you she makes you buy a packet and has you do the assignments in class, does not teach one bit. Exams are extremely hard and tricky as all can be. If that isnt difficult enough she sometimes becomes "sick" and leaves for over a month and comes back expecting you to know everything even if it wasnt taught

Dont know what im paying for, she literally doesn't teach. YOU teach yourself with a course packet that she has you do in the lecture. POINTLESS to be paying as much as you do to teach yourself and have her test you on it.

Amazing professor! She makes the class interesting by letting you try problems out yourself instead of listening to a boring lecture all hour. She is the most helpful professor I've ever had, and she cares so much about her students. She gives review sessions before tests and her coursepack has old tests just like the ones in class. Take her!!!

She expects you to have a good background knowledge so if you had a solid high school chemistry then go for it, but if you dont, then take a dif teacher. I really struggled in this course, and ended up retaking because she just zooms by you if you are falling behind. She's pretty cold if you go talk to her at office hours too.

She is a WONDERFUL teacher. She covers a lot of material in a very short period of time and missing a lecture can hurt you quite a bit. If you attend class and pay attention you should do fine in this class.

Purely awesome, very organized class, very helpful test preparation material.

VERY fast-paced lecture, hard to keep up, but very organized teaching. If you can quickly pick up Chem, you'll probably do well. Easy labs, always available for help.

Dr.Partigianoni is an awesome prof.She's knowledgeable,helpful and approachable. She explains the materials very well.There are quizzes prior to major tests so you will know what to work on.If you read over her lecture notes and do all the assigned problems,you will get your "A". There are review sessions before tests, very helpful.

Dr. P is sweet. Hard class, but amazing teacher.

Dr. P is awesome. She is so organized and explains everything so well! The lectures are pretty fast paced, but if you take all of the notes and study them, tests and quizzes should go smoothly. Labs are easy and she is very helpful in them. Dr. P is the best Chemistry professor yet!

Dr. P is a great professor, and I would highly recommend taking her for chem! She's very organized, and explains the material very well! She keeps you actively working on problems together in class, and it really helps you learn the material. She always tells you exactly what to study for her tests and quizzes. Don't buy the book. You won't use it.

Best Gen chem teacher! I would definitely recommend her :)

Dr. P is an amazing chem teacher. Don't bother buying the text book though, she hardly ever uses it. She has her own coursepack with old exams and holds question and answer sessions before quizzes and exams. Highly recommended.

Great Professor. You hardly use the textbook, so there is no need to buy it. She uses a course pack. Does online homework, which helps a lot with tests and quizzes. She drops the lowest quiz. When you ask her for help she explains. Has practice exams which tend to be very helpful.

Dr. P is a great teacher. I learned a lot in class. You don't use the textbook, you use her coursepack which can be very helpful. She has several quizes and drops the worst one. A lot of people don't ask her for help because she can seem cold. But I think she's just shy, when you get to know her she's very nice and helpful and will even make jokes.

At first I thought she was really unapprachable, but she's actually quite nice. She sets the class up very well and the notes are straightforward. You never use the book though, so dont buy it. But you will need an online code for homework, which isn't that hard. Labs are boring but easy. If you get to pick your chem prof, choose her.

By far the greatest chem professor. Highly recommend taking her for both 121 and 122. Her exams are easy if you put the effort into doing the assignments and practice exams. They're all in the coursepack for the class. You'll learn a lot if you have chemistry with Dr. P.

Dr. P is probably the best chem professor there is at Ferris. She isn't nearly as intimidating as you would think from reading the other comments.

Had for both 121 and 122 - an amazing professor if YOU put forth the effort. Best advice is to do all her coursepack work with the activities, homework, and definitely the practice exams. Attending her Q/A sessions is very beneficial as she'll even give hints to what's on the exam! Don't waste money on the textbook - just get the coursepack!

Had an easy professor for 121, so the transition into 122 was VERY difficult for Dr. P. Great professor, but much more difficult than others. You learn SO much in this class, just be very prepared to work for it. Almost had to drop the class, but once I adjusted to the style I loved it and brought my grade up 25 to a B- in two exams a quiz

Dr. P is a wonderful professor. She has high expectations though. She has her own coursepack instead of a textbook. Go to class and be prepared to sit down and focus, lecture goes fast. If you've taken AP chem, Dr. P is a good choice.

Dr. P is great, textbook is optional (but you have to buy her $40 coursepack). Very good professor and is always helpful with office hours. She may seem intimidating at first, but she is very nice and opens up by the end of the semester, has a sense of humor as well.

She's certainly not for everyone. She speaks and goes through material quickly (handwriting is a bit difficult to decipher at times), but if you need her to stop, go back, or slow down, she will do it. She is always ready to help. She can be a bit picky for grading, but you'll get that from any gen chem prof. But she knows what she's doing.

She is a really good teacher, but you have to study. There is a lot of information she gives you and she can go through it very quickly. She might seem intimidating, but went to her office hours and she was really nice and helped me out when I had questions. Prepare to study if to get an A on her tests.

Dr. P comes off a little cold but she's very sweet if she knows you. She is very ready to help if you need clarification but does not stop for questions or review. She expects you to come to her. Her labs are pretty easy and the tests look exactly like the problems in the Coursepack.

She's a fantastic professor and you can really tell she knows what she's talking about. Chem in general was a really difficult class. I recommend learning the material before the lectures are given and use the lectures as clarification.

According to MyFSU the textbook was required but Dr. P uses her own course pack that is available at The Great Lakes Bookstore. GREAT teacher! My spirit animal. However, she can be tricky if you didn't have the right chemistry in high school previous to taking her class. sit in front, PARTICIPATE. Visit office hours.b Labs almost always 3 hours

Comes off as unapproachable at first but is very sweet once you get to know her. She uses her own course pack, but the book is required for the online homework. Attend class or you won't do well. Tests are tough so study hard. Labs tend to go the full 3 hours but are not too difficult. This class is a lot of work, but a good grade is possible.

The course is difficult and moves at a fast pace, but Ms. P. is very nice and is willing to help you whenever. She holds Q & A's the day before quizzes/ exams too. The course is homework heavy and she is a harsh grader, but it will definitely help you in the long run.

Dr. P is a tough professor, but chemistry is also a tough subject. Not great with emailing, but her office hours and Q & A sessions are very helpful. You will have a lot of homework and it will be graded, but it is very similar to exam and lecture content. You don't need the textbook, her coursepack is very thorough, just go to class.

Dr. P gives you the material you need to succeed. Work hard and do what she assigns and youll do great.

In 121 I had dr. Thompson who has over a 4 rating on this website. But he is so much worse than Dr. P. Take this professor if you get the chance. She goes fast but you get used to it. Her lectures are not pp slides; she uses a coursepack and it is amazing, especially if you like to actively participate. Halfway thru the semester i have a strong A.

I love Dr. P! She definitely makes you work for your grade, and if you don't do all of the practice (not for credit) assignments she gives, it will show. She holds optional Q&A sessions before quizzes and exams and they are awesome. Also, get the study book for the ACS exam, because we take it both semesters.

Dr. P really cares about her students and it shows through her Q&A sessions, the time she puts in to make the course pack, and the fact that she knows your name quickly. If you want an easy A, she might not be a great choice. But I feel significantly more prepared for my upper level science courses. PUT IN THE WORK AND YOU'LL BE FINE!!

I love Dr. P! She is a real sweetheart. If you arent ready to work for a good grade, DONT take her. If you are willing to work hard, you will get the grade you and and she gives you many paths to success. You will not do well if you dont work hard but she is amazing and if youre going to take the PCAT/MCAT etc, she will prep you super well.

Dr. P was a really great professor - best chemistry professor by far. She is very clear about what you need to know when learning this complex course. She has her own coursepack that is very detailed and exactly like the tests. If you put the work in, you will get a good grade. Take advantage of her office hours!!

Dr. P is one of the best and sweetest teachers that you can take. She knows her stuff and she teaches clearly and is regularly available outside of class to help with any questions or confusion. There is a decent amount of homework, but it is relevant and helpful.

She's an amazing professor that genuinely cares about you and your grade. She has weekly Q/A sessions outside of class and will answer any questions that you have. Her coursepack is very detailed and EXTREMELY helpful if you do all of the work in it. There is a lot of work to do, but if you do all of it you will benefit greatly from it!

I highly recommend taking Dr. P. She is very organized and knows exactly what she's doing. The coursepack is better than any book would be. Put in work outside of class, she will definitely be willing to help you if you need it!

Dr. P is a really good professor. You need to do the homework, even the things that aren't graded, because for this class you learn through doing. Plus, it'll help prepare for exams since they have questions that are similar. The class can be difficult so you need to keep up, but if you stay on top of stuff and work for it, the class isn't too bad.

Dr. P cured me of my disgust for chemistry. The way she teaches in lecture, through activities you print out before class, is the EXACT way I like to learn. I learned that after taking her class. I am very successful in her tough class and its all because she doesnt do powerpoints. Shes quiet, but shes actually pretty funny in lab. TAKE HER

Dr. P is truly an outstanding professor if you are willing to put the work in. Everything you need to know for the exams are covered in lecture, and she posts study guides and practice problems for every exam. The only downside is that she wasn't great at responding to emails, so I would find a tutor if you are struggling. Lots of extra credit.

Dr. P is an excellent professor! She truly does care for her students to learn and succeed. There are 6 exams total. She posts study guides that are very similar to the exams. If you do not perform well on an exam, she makes room for extra credit opportunities. One thing that stands out for her is in a class of 75-100, she'll know everyone's name.

Although the course overall is difficult, Dr. P has clear notes and expectations for tests. She cares about her student's success and is willing to help you with anything you need. She takes the time to send many reminders about info you need to know throughout class. Offers good amount of extra credit and light grader but do not skip classes.

I loved Dr. P!!!!! She was by far my favorite professor my freshman year. She uses her own course pack that she made instead of the textbook and it made it so much easier to learn and understand the information. I was in chem 121 and 122 and if SLA is available to you for the class I highly suggest taking advantage of that as well!

Dr. P is such a sweet person. She definitely cares about all of her students and knew everyone by name fairly quickly. Chemistry is a hard class. The class was very difficult because of the fast paced lectures. She does offer times when you can go and get help and those help a lot. She also curves a lot of stuff to help boost your grade.

Dr. P is a great professor. The bad reviews are kids who didn't try and who didn't come to class. Chemistry is hard, but she makes it nice to learn and you will always have opportunities to improve your grade. You will be thankful you have her!!!

My favorite thing about Dr. P is her class structure. Our materials for lecture are available before class and help to guide learning rather than state facts. The quick pace of this class can be intimidating, but once that adjustment is made its smooth sailing. The most important thing is to do ALL the homework she assigns, even if it isn't graded!

Very sweet lady who wants you to succeed. Offers lots of office hours for questions. EXTREMELY FAST PACED LECTURES. Most times it is hard to follow along because she jumps around. I got an 89.7 in the class and she would not round it to a 90 when I asked

I love having Dr. P, this is the second class I've taken with her. She is incredibly nice, but she moves incredibly quickly through her lectures. The material is difficult to learn and requires effort outside of class. She however takes great effort to be available outside of class for any questions. Labs are doable, and sometimes interesting.

Dr. P is a great professor! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. She gives you a ton of practice problems and everything you need to succeed! She is also super sweet and genuinely cares! Take her!!!!!

Dr. P is a very nice women. She is super helpful when it comes to having questions. The course is pretty difficult if you don't have a good chem understanding. She does use ALEK modules for homework. There are quizzes along with your exams. The labs aren't too long and fairly easy.

She was a great teacher, willing to help answer questions, gives lots of resources to help prepare for tests and exams, super understanding, and the class is hard if you don't put in enough work.

Dr. P's class is fast-paced but engaging. While challenging, the course structure and opportunities for help make it manageable. unstuck study was a lifesaver for study prep.
