It's been a month since I have had her, but so far if you have any background in chemistry it is easy. Do you're homework though cause she likes pop quizzes.

just sit in the front, do the homework each night and you will be 100% fine. She is pretty fair and actually really nice if you talk to her.Unlike a lot of the other chem teachers, her first language is English. and yeah she gives pop quizzes...but they are straight from the hw problems

She can be a bit dry, but is otherwise great. She means well and her teaching style got much better after ditching the powerpoints. go to class & office hours & review sessions - she'll help you out & you'll be fine. quizzes are straight from the homework and tests are fine if you study. Much better than the other gen chem 1 professors.

She is a pretty good professor, when she teaches without powerpoints. You definitely need the textbook, and you definitely need to go to class. There are unannounced quizzes. In person she is really nice, and I highly recommend going to her office hours and review sessions.

She's very willing to help but Chemistry is hard no matter what. Quizzes are easy and the tests are easier than other sections. This class is not a breeze but if you put work in you can probably succeed.

Dr. Lopreore is amazing. Take her above all the chem1070 professors. She gives pop quizzes, but are very easy if you do the homework. the tests are easier than other sections. you'll be fine. if you're good at chemistry, the class will be a breeze. also she's a really nice person in general. Love her!!

Dr. Lopreore is one of the best General Chemistry teachers. She really wants her students to succeed, and she will even hold optional weekly review sessions if you ask her too. If she does, GO TO THEM. They help a lot. Quizzes are easy as they are designed to boost your grade. Test questions are similar to homework.

LOVE HER!! she's so personable and makes so much sense in her lectures. Read the textbook before class and it will help so much. Her tests are VERY fair! Take her!

Pretty dry lecturer, but actually a very helpful, nice lady. Classes are not required and quite boring, but if you pay attention, she gives you all you need to know. Quizzes were super easy, but tests were challenging, as many kids failed. Definitely take her if you like math more than theory.

Take her class for gen chem! Although not the best lecturer in the world she is probably the best of the gen chem professor. Extremely nice and helpful if you are struggling. I recommend going to her office hours. She is really nice and helpful in them. Quizzes are straight out of homework. Chem isnt easy though and you will have to work for it.

Love her! She made me like chem much more than I did before! Very easy to do well without AP Chem! As long as you go to lecture she gives you all the information you need, and if you do the suggested exercises she posts then you are going to do well. Quizzes are from the problems she assigns and tests are similar, bit more challenging, but doable.

Really nice and fair professor. The people that don't do well aren't willing to put in the time and effort. She is much better than the other gen chem professors and really wants everyone to succeed. Tests are very fair, as was the final.

Easily the best General Chemistry professor has to offer. She is extremely helpful if she's ever in her office. There were many times that she would be late to her office hours or just not show up at all. However, that's as bad as it gets with her being a professor. Very engaging and wonderful. Definitely take her if you can.

She is AWESOME! I hated gen chem 1, but in gen chem 2, I love it! She's really good at teaching the material. If you read, do her practice problems and the example problems in the book, attend the review sessions you should be golden. Oh yeah and GO TO CLASS. It's not that hard. Plus she gets to know all her students. By far the best gen chem prof

this is definitely the gen chem teacher you want to take unless Koplitz is teaching (bc he's the best professor at tulane) lopreore is super fair and go out of your way to get to know her and she will bump your grade at the end. attend lectures!! quizzes are incredibly easy but exams are a lot harder so beware. You can get an A but you have 2 study

Lopreore is a really nice lady who truly cares that her students do well. She really gives you all the tools you need to succeed on her tests, I would say your grade in this class is a direct correlation to how much time you put in. I'd highly recommend her to anyone.

Best to take for gen chem.

By far the best professor to take for 1070. Quizzes are very, very easy and are announced.. but they are often announced in weird ways so pay attention. Going to class office hours is must if you want to work for an A. Test are difficult. Not a blow off class. You have to study in advance for tests

Lopreore makes things pretty clear and is a lot easier than the other Chem 1070 professors. There are 3 tests per semester and they aren't too tough and some quizzes that are super easy. Definitely buy the solutions manual

Dr. Lopreore's class is definitely not difficult. She gives three tests, each only four questions that are easily doable if you've done the practice problems she puts up. She's helpful if you go to her office hours or if you ask for help. Her lectures are fairly dry though.

Very straight-forward class. She gives you methods to solve virtually everything which is nice. She's not very interesting, but she will answer your questions. She wants you to learn chem, but she's not going to go out of her way to do so. If you need help go to her. Big lecture class, okay teacher. Tests aren't bad if you study the suggested probs

I love Dr. Lopreore. She is definitely the prof. to take for gen chem. Very straight forward lectures, but she is actually funny a lot of the time. Really nice to all her students and is always willing to help. DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS to get an A. The tests are difficult, but if you have done the practice problems, an A is definitely possible.

Best of the ludicrousness that is gen Chem at tulane. Her lecture notes teach you how to do almost everything that she tests on. Has a tendency to rush certain chapters but overall great teacher. Best way to succeed is to work problems from the text book.

Not the best lecturer but she's the only chem1070 prof with fair exams. Very nice lady who wants her students to learn chemistry. Quizzes are sometimes unannounced but are EXTREMELY easy. Absolutely a must take if Koplitz isn't teaching.

Lopreore is a great Gen Chem professor. From someone who got a C in high school chemistry and never took AP, I was able to keep an A the entire time. Requires a good bit of effort, learned by working the textbook problems and not from the lectures, but very fair professor. Wants students to do well and will go out of her way to help you if needed.

For Chem1070, she's your best bet. Lectures are average but clear. She explains how to do what you need to do. If you do the assigned problems, you'll do fine on the tests- but study the material. If you have any questions about the homework, she'll answer them at recitation- however, if you have class during recitation, tough luck.

Take Dr. Lopreore for Gen Chem if you can by all means. Very fair tests, which means averages are quite high so you have to do really well to be above the curve. Gives really easy pop quizzes (one time it was "write your favorite element")- don't skip class. She's such a sweet person too.

Take first semester, avoid at all costs second semester. I went to her office a total of 7 times, 6 of those were after I'd set up an appointment with her or she'd said that she would be there, and didn't end up seeing her once all semester for various reasons, although I think she was going through health problems. Not bad, but in no way the best.

Fairly easy. The tests can be kind of frustrating (sometimes material not in the practice problems shows up), but she gives a pretty good curve if the class average is low. Quizzes are extremely easy. She tells you when you're going to have them and they are essentially attendance quizzes. Homework is optional, but recommended for test prep.

She is very smart but lectures are dry; every day she just rushes through definitions/examples from this little notebook she has. Quizzes are extremely easy and her exams are prob the "easiest" out of the chem 1070 profs. Go to class to know what material she'll test, but expect to depend on the textbook to actually know what's going on.

Lopreore is a really sweet woman who wants her students to succeed. She is one of those teachers who is very concerned with the effort the student is making. Holds weekly recitation sessions so that she can work through homework problems. Ask questions and make it known that you care about doing well. I would take her again.

Amazing professor went from a C student to an A with her. Really one of a kind. Highly recommend. Best chem teacher at tulane. BY FAR.

She is considered to be the easier chem teacher. She is not the best at teaching, but the class is not crazy hard like the other chem teachers. She is a nice person and will help you if needed however.

Even though the lectures for this class are dry and not helpful, the class is way easier when compared to the other chemistry professors. The class is also curved a lot which helps. She is very helpful during office hours if you go.

She's not an amazing teacher, but she definitely knows her stuff, even though she seems like she doesn't care most of the time. Super sweet and will make sure you end up with an okay grade at the end. She occasionally has pop quizzes, but they're so easy that there's no reason to even bother studying.

I can't stress enough how amazing she is. Definitely the best chemistry professor at Tulane. Very fair and understanding person. Super approachable. Go to her office hours! If she sees you trying, she will boost your grade. Fair tests. Do not slack off! Overall, she really made me love chemistry. TAKE HER!

Lectures are straight from the book. The lectures are very unenthusiastic but she does know what she's talking about.

Professor Lopreore is one of the easier general chemistry professors. However; her lectures are not the best, and you may not learn as well as some of your peers in other chemistry classes. It is very helpful to attend office hours to get additional instruction on topics that she did not explain well in class.

Professor Lopreore is by far the best option for Chem 1070 here at Tulane. The lectures following the first few chapters are kind of hard to follow, and to do well you definitely have to supplement lectures with textbook readings. She is VERY helpful during office hours and is flexible with the times as well. Very caring about her freshman!

If you have to take chemistry at Tulane, take Lopreore. Warning, you have to teach yourself all the material, but the test questions are basically the suggested exercises and her tests are mostly straightforward. You won't learn anything from her but she is the easiest teacher at Tulane.

Courtney is the best chemistry teacher at Tulane. I would recommend going to her office hours. I found that they were way more helpful than her lectures. The test questions are very similar to the suggested problems she assigns for each chapter.

I took her for CHEM 1070 & 1080 and she is the easiest chemistry professor at Tulane. You have to read the textbook to understand the bulk of the material, but her tests are exactly like the suggested exercises in the textbook. During class she's pretty laid back and funny, but if you actually need help, she's always available during office hours.

Prof. Lopreore comes off as kind of awkward but definitely has her shining moments of comedic gold. Her lectures are pretty dry otherwise and she sometimes moves pretty fast without explaining things very well, but the tests are very reasonable and she gives a lot of extra credit opportunity.

the best!! She actually cares about her students and wants you to do well. You don't have to go to class, but she will help you out individually way more if you go to class/see her in office hours. I recommend getting to know her well in chem 1 so that she will help you out in chem 2. I got mono second semester and she worked with me so much!!

Lopreore is certainly an above average CHEM1070 professor, but that's mainly because the other professors are no good first semester. She teaches from the book verbatim and her tests are VERY SIMILAR to "suggested exercises" from the book that she posts online. She's very helpful at office hours!!

Professor Lopreore is the best. You definitely want her for both chem 1 and 2. Her tests are easy in that they are EXACTLY what you've been studying (for the most part). You can honestly get more from the book than in lecture, but she is a great teacher because of the easier tests and she is ALWAYS willing to help with ANYTHING. LOVE HER.

I recommend Lopreore out of all the chem teachers. She is really nice and curves a lot. Don't think this class is easy though- the tests are hard and kinda random. Overall, could have been worse.

Professor Lopreore is hands down the easiest chem teacher. Her test questions are literally straight out of the book practice problems. They aren't even the hard ones, they are the easy ones. If you put effort into understanding the material you will succeed. Her lectures are terrible though, just learn from the book. She also curved the class +5%

Professor Lopreore is definitley the best option for general chemistry at Tulane. I had her for chem 1070 and 1080. While lectures are pretty dry (probably because of the material) she is VERY helpful out of class. Probably one of my favorite professors at Tulane, Professor Lopreore goes the extra mile to show she cares about her students.

Lopreore's lectures are just her writing everything she says down, and she posts all the notes after class. Her tests are really manageable and easy to study for. She's not the most amazing professor, but she structures the class in a way that you can do well. She definitely wants her students to succeed (get an A).

Professor Lopreore really wants her students to do well, and she's also hilarious. You do need to work hard outside of class to understand the material and prepare for tests, but she is definitely your advocate, not your enemy throughout the semester. She does loads of bonus and curving at the end. TAKE HER FOR CHEM

Not a GREAT teacher but probably the best of Tulane's chem department. Her lectures are very dry and honestly not necessary because she posts everything online. The tests aren't too difficult but you need to be incredibly prepared. The class is curved massively which saved many from failing. Gives Kahoot quizzes but only for completion.

I don't think any of the chem professors at Tulane are that great, but Lopreore is definitely the most manageable. She is pretty bland in lecture and posts all the class notes anyways but she's great in office hours! If she can recognize your name, face, and effort come end of the semester, you'll be fine.

If you are a freshman and need Chem credit, TAKE HER over anyone else given the options currently. What sets her apart from all of the other profs- she genuinely cares about her students. She went through midterm grades and curved them individually to benefit each specific student. Nevertheless, chem is hard. But she wants YOU to succeed!

Taking a class with Prof. Lopreore is the best choice you can make for completing general chemistry requirements. Sometimes she can seem like she couldn't care less about the material or the class, but she really helps students out at the end of the semester. She does test review during class and lectures only on what you actually need to know.

She does a really great job; lectures were not too difficult to follow along in, she shows you how to do all of the homework problems, is really funny, and is just a really awesome person in general.

Courtney is the best gen chem professor, period. Although lectures are often boring, Courtney does teach well. Tests aren't super difficult -- just make sure to do the practice problems and check your answers with the solutions her or the SI posts. She sometimes does unannounced Kahoots for participation grade, so be wary of that.

Professor Lopreore is the best chem professor on campus. She loves her students, is very passionate about teaching, and wants you to pass. She notices who goes to class and takes note of who goes to the SI sessions. The class is test heavy, but there are multiple opportunities for extra credit. Lectures may be a bit boring, but hey, it's chemistry!

Lopreore truly cares about her students and goes above and beyond to help. She is always available to help and picks out very helpful SI's. She is definitely the best gen chem professor on campus. Don't just go to class and leave, actually get to know her because she really is the best

I hear she's the best chem teacher, so I'd advise taking her over others. Her tests are only 4 questions, so I'd finish them in 20 minutes. Pretty easy if you took AP Chem. 3 tests and she drops one. We also had quizzes on every chapter, but those were REALLY easy. Just don't rush and make dumb mistakes on tests.

best gen chem professor at tulane. wants her students to do well and her tests are fair.... and actually based on what she teaches.

Chemistry is hard, but Lop curves harder

Honestly the best choice you can get for a Gen Chem professor. Definitely not the greatest at teaching but curves are huge so passing shouldn't be a struggle for most people. Will not pass without doing the textbook problems though.

Lectures are really boring and it's a lot of self-learning based on practicing textbook problems, but she's the best genchem professor at Tulane. Take her over anyone else, but chem is still hard and you still need to put in the work

Hands down the best professor for Gen Chem at Tulane. Absolutely take her class if you can. Attendance isn't mandatory and she uploads her slides. If you practice the problems on her slides and do the examples from the book, you will get an A, especially since she curves the class.

She is the best option for chem teachers at Tulane. That being said, her lectures are boring and she doesn't tend to introduce concepts or explain them well in class. It's up to you to read/figure out the material for yourself. Office hours are helpful although her lectures really aren't. There were some unannounced kahoots for participation points

Professor Lopreore is the best option for chemistry at Tulane. To do well in this class, you need to do the suggested exercises and go to her office hours. The tests and final exam are kinda tough, but everything is curved based on the class average.

Dr. Lopreore was a fantastic professor, and is most definitely the best professor for Gen Chem. She is very much dedicated to her students, and cares about them as people. Went to bat for our class to the head of the department. When the lab sections were a disaster. Dry lecture, but applicable. Attendance quizzes but super nice and an overall :)

Lopreore is by far the best genchem professor at Tulane. She won't baby you/raise your grade if she can clearly see that you're not putting in the effort (which makes a lot of people mad lol). But if you put in the effort and go to office hours, she will really advocate for you. I definitely recommend taking her over the other genchem profs.

Tbh, she is the most straightforward chemistry professor at Tulane. If you have background knowledge you should be okay. You definitely need to work hard just like other classes, but her expectations are clear. She is not getting harder! Students are not working hard enough! Also, other profs are not that much harder. Just worse teachers.

alright listen shes not perfect - but she does let us use our textbooks for our tests so she is the clear winner there

Tests got SO much easier now that tests are in person. Study and do all practice problems, and attend SI sessions, and you'll be fine. Tests aren't easy but not impossible. Graded on 3 tests, one dropped, and a final. Definitely the best choice for gen chem

During Covid when tests were online, she was awful and very unfair. Now that tests are in-person, they are very fair and extremely similar to the practice problems. No doubt you will have to work hard and do suggested exercises to do well, but it isn't impossible. Go to office hours and you will see that she does care about her students.

Lopreore is the best of bad options. I think that she's a great professor and she has taught me a lot about chem. However, the class is very difficult and if you aren't ready to work hard, don't take Dr. Lopreore. She also curves so that the average of every test becomes a B-, so if you stay above average, you'll have a decent grade which is nice.

Gen chem in general sucks. No one wants to take it. But at tulane, TAKE LOPREORE. The other professors actually suck, they are horrible. Her exams are difficult. But if you work hard, read the textbook and do problems you will be okay. She posts suggested exercises for every chapter WITH AN ANSWER KEY!!!

I've had Dr. Lopreore for 2 semesters. First semester was pretty rough because of difficult online tests. However, this semester has been easier to handle, much more fair, and doable. People who complain don't do suggested exercises or go to office hours. Take her and you will see she is the best option and notices when you put in effort. Worth it.

She is the best teacher for gen chem and if you go to SI sessions, do the suggested exercises you will be okay. Her test is verbatim the suggested exercises!!! The last class average was 42% and got curved to an 80% if that says anything.

Going into her class, I heard she was one of the better chem professors and I agree. Her exams are pretty tough but she curves the tests well. As long as you attend class and do the suggested exercises/prepare for exams, you will do well. Class is easily structured and you have two tests with one you are able to drop plus a final.

Take Dr. Lopreore for Gen Chem! The test curves, drop tests, and drop participation scores make this class very accommodating. Dr. Lopreore really tries to meet students where they're at, and test questions are straight from the textbook examples. Although the lectures aren't always stellar, she works out examples- this class is the best choice.

By far the best option for gen chem. She teaches good enough for you to do well, but if you want to be confident you'll need to do some self-studying. Impressively accessible for the number of students she has. She also was incredibly generous with the curve she gave us this semester, more so than any other class I've ever taken.

Take Lopreore for Gen Chem if you actually want to learn something in class and want to be able to get an A. Her lectures are mediocre, but if you show up to class, take notes, and do the practice problems she assigns, you will be fine. By far the best option, was very understanding after Ida

Professor Lopreore is average, but she is the best gen chem professor at Tulane. She covered all of the necessary material in class and her tests were fair. While the majority of students still failed every test, the curve was very generous every time. The best way to do well is by doing textbook practice problems and using class time as a review.

Dr Lopreore was a really amazing choice for me for Gen Chem I. I was able to get an A by attending every class (get those participation points!), skimming over her slides before class and putting in minimal effort. Definitely know your capacities and work to match it. She sometimes lifts questions from the textbook so extra practice from it helps!

Lopreore is probably the best professor for CHEM. If you do the suggested exercises and understand how to do them, you''re good to go for exams. She is kind of predictable in what she is going to test

Definitely the best of the chem professors you could take at Tulane. If you attend class her lectures are great and she actually teaches the material instead of just lecturing from the textbook. However, if you don't attend class you won't fail if you study the text book and do all the suggested exercises. 3 midterms and a final.

Dr. Lopreore is a funny and chill prof who embodies the comedy of bone deep tiredness that defines college. Show up to class, there are participation quizzes. Exams are hard, but partial credit is plentiful. Curves aren't always clear, but they are generous. She will regrade if you can prove something is wrong. Talk to her, she won't bite.

She did a great job of working problems out on the board/showing examples during class. Some questions on the exam were as expected; however, there were always 1-2 INSANELY difficult questions. She does give fair partial credit and curves generously though. I would say not a perfect teacher but definitely one of the better/best options for gen chem

Difficult exams, but she curves so that the class average is around a B or B-. Her office hours are helpful as well.

If you go to class and take notes during her lectures you should do well in the class. She gives a drop test and holds review sessions before exams. Overall a very understanding and engaging professor.

Dr. Lopreore is a solid choice for both semesters of Gen Chem. While class can drag on at times, she explains the concepts well, and gives fair test questions. You definitely need to spend some time outside of class learning the material because you will not pass by doing the bare minimum.

Lopreore is definitely a safe option for gen chem. She's not super exciting, but her lectures are straightforward and her tests fair. It's difficult to know how her curve works but she is great at telling you what will be on the test - I recommend doing suggested exercises and practice tests!

Tests are veryyyyy difficult but she curves nicely at the end of the semester. You get one drop test and lots of partial credit for problems. Go to office hours and SI sessions. Be prepared to see a low grade in canvas for the entire semester... I had a "D-" the whole semester and finished the class with a B-. Best Chem 1 professor option

Class is very lecture-heavy. You can always join lectures on zoom if you are absent so you can get participation credit on pop-quizzes. Tests are long and difficult but she gives decent partial credit.

Chem 1 is a pretty hard class, but Lopreore is definitely the best for Chem 1. She's a pretty fair grader and gives a decent amount of partial credit, and a solid curve for all the tests and final exam. She gives a textbook PDF but I only used it a couple times. Beware of random attendance checks with Kahoots, it can lower your grade if you skip.

Had her for Gen Chem 1 and 2. Her class is very accessible (she allows you to attend classes on Zoom), and there is almost no homework at all. Her lectures are very clear, and she is good at teaching the material in an engaging way. She is also very personable, and is fun to be around, which can't be said about other Tulane chemistry professors.

Curve was very helpful when I took her, but I think it depends on the class. Her office hours helped me a lot and she is very chill. If you're friendly with her, she will be friendly with you. Practice problems are very important, do them! She uses them on the exam as well as class examples.

I took Lopreore for Gen Chem 1 and 2, and I enjoyed the class once I adapted to her teaching style. Go to class, practice the concepts as you go, and attend SI sessions. Only thing I didn't enjoy was that she repeatedly moved her exams to the same days as other big pre-med exams (cell, genetics).

get ready to move fast, but she is a great professor. despite moving quickly, her lectures are straightforward and as long as you keep up you'll understand. the exams are similar to what we go over in class, just make sure to practice a lot

Her lectures can get boring but are extremely helpful in learning class material. Her tests can be very hard, but she is a fair grader so you'll be saved by the curve. Can be approachable for certain things, but can be inconsistent in what she allows.

I really love professor lopreore. the class material is very hard but she only goes through problems in class instead of the conceptual work. usually have plenty of time for her tests and she grades leniently. shes actually a sweetheart and is a really cool person and i recommend going to office hours. tests are always curved to a B-

chem is hard!! but! dr. lopreore teaches by explaining the concept and then doing a few example questions. suggested exercises are similar to test questions. she is a wonderful teacher and sweetheart. if you do the suggested exercises and watch a few videos about the concept, you will do well. love her.

Professor Lopreore is great. If you are engaged during her lectures you will learn the material. The only issue is that the exams are nothing like the in-class problems and suggested exercises in the book. So, many people do poorly on the exams. There is a curve though. She is the best option for gen chem 1 and 2 if you actually want be challenged.

She gives a very generous curve, and when she grades your tests, she gives generous partial credit. I recommend going to every one of her classes, even if it's an 8 AM chem class; believe me, it will pay off. Overall, she is a great teacher, and I would highly recommend you take her.

generous curve but pay attention and take notes. go to office hours just to chat and that will help your curve

I loved Lopreore for gen chem! I took her both semesters (gen chem 1 & 2) and found that she was really clear about content for tests and grading criteria. Most of her lectures are just her doing practice problems (sometimes a Kahoot) but I found them helpful. Just do the suggested exercises and you'll do great

I love her! She is kind, interesting, and just an excellent human being! Her tests can be tricky, so make sure to do the recommended practice problems available in the textbook. I ended up bombing the first tests and acing the last tests/final to get an average grade. Only change? I started working practice problems daily.

She's awesome! Tests are doable.

People hate her but she's the best you will get from a chemistry teacher at Tulane. Her tests are confusing but she's nice with partial credit. Honestly failed her first exam and have an okay grade anyways since she curves to a B-. Prepare to teach yourself everything. Go to office hours if she likes you she gives more partial credit. Very sweet.

Lecture style was performing problems in class and then going over specifics. Took me the first test to get into the swing of things. Advice - do the suggested exercises in the textbook! I didn't my first exam and got an F but I did them for the other tests and now I have a B- so it obviously helps.

She's pretty chill but her lectures can be boring but she does randomly count attendance so you should probably go. Gen chem is a lot of self studying so don't expect too much from the lectures. She's helpful outside of class and an interesting person to talk to.

Lopreore is the best Chem teacher you can have at Tulane. Her lectures can be a little boring as she's just writing out definitions and showing examples but you should copy those notes and examples down. Do EVERY single suggested exercise she posts. They are very reflective of what the test is like. She's very easy to talk to if you have questions.

Pf. Lopreore is an icon. While she has a mysterious immune system (she's sick a lot), she is very caring and loves to chat one-on-one!! Her teaching style is okay, but she is very forgiving on test grading. I recommend attending every class and participating. The class is meant to weed people out but if you stick with it you will be fine.

Lopreore is the best chem prof at Tulane. She is very understanding and kind. If she knows you the class will be much easier for you. Do all the suggested questions that she posts they are very representative of what the exam will be like. Go to every class because she might do pop hat which is just for attendance purposes. Lover her!

I would say that I was an average student handling a lot of things on my plate when taking her. For a gen chem professor she was good, but not great.bShe does take into account if you go to class, and if you participate during class. Just be on her good side and you will do well (aside from doing the work ofc).

Don't expect to learn any chemistry from the lectures. If you are on her good side and do the practice problems, you'll be fine. Her test difficulty varies which screwed me. She does get randomly sick... Take her for gen chem because the other professors are worse or racist.

Dr. Lopreore is the best chem professor to take. Her lectures are clear, but her tests vary in difficulty. She does curve to a B-, so you just have to beat the curve. Your grade is based pretty much on three tests and a final. Make sure to do the suggested exercises to study for the test!

Class grade is based on 3 tests and a final exam + a one question quiz every night before class that eventually totals to an additional test grade. Chem is hard, she does well explaining. Go to class and SI sessions

Chem is a notorious class. It's gonna be a lot - it is what it is. Lopreore is probably the best professor for it but it still required a lot of self studying. I never attended SI/office hours and was fine but it depends on how you learn. If you had a decent HS chem teacher you'll be fine. Hint: don't buy the textbook it's on her Canvas on the DL

Professor Lopreore was a pretty good teacher. The chemistry department at Tulane isn't exceptional, but she is your best bet. Tests make up 75% of your grade.

This class isn't particularly hard, but you really have to know the material well. The way Prof. Lopreore teaches chemistry is more like a math class than a science class. Do the practice problems even if you feel like you already know them, one slip up on an exam is the end of your grade; graded on 3 midterms and 1 final, hw is 17% of your grade.

Supposed to be one of the better gen chem professors. The class doesn't require much effort besides studying for exams. Her tests are heavily based on your problem-solving skills, making them very hard. One of the benefits of taking her is that she doesn't do recitation, so all exams are in class. I think scheduling one-on-one office hours helped.

Lopreore is probably your best bet for CHEM1070. The tests are pretty difficult but you can do well if you do all of the suggested exercises and practice problems provided.

She's definitely one of the better chem prof. at Tulane. She only has tests and quizzes both tests weigh a lot more so review everyday.

Prob best option for gen chem. She's very dry and kinda funny. Her exams are usually in class with 4-5 problems that are more problem-solving based than conceptual. Doesn't use the 6pm testing block. If you get on her good side with 1:1 office hours, she'll show you what to study for the exam, and some people get an extra grade boost.

People sometimes describe Lopreore as the "best of the worst" compared to the other chem profs at Tulane, but the difference between her and them is ASTRONOMICAL, and I dont think she deserves to be described in this way. Her lectures are clear and her tests are completely fair. Just do the suggested exercises and youll do great. I rly liked her!

This class is super doable and without question Lopreore is the best gen chem prof. Sometimes she doesnt explain well, but if you go to her office hours she is very patient and will explain well. Def try and get on her good side its possible she will grade you better. Overall nice woman and fairly good teacher.
