Chemistry is a really hard subject and she is not good at explaining it. There are 4 tests and a final. You could replace your lowest test grade with the final but theres no point in that since the final is the hardest one.

Truly phenomenal. The amount of patience this woman has is truly astonishing. She will explain the material over and over again if you need her to. People (lazy people at that) will complain about this class and say it's "impossible" only because they miss every other lecture and expect to magically know the answers during the exams. Take her!

Very nice, and is always available for office hours. Chemistry is a tough course, but she offers more than enough resources for practice and if you do not get it then, she is available to go over what you do not get. I suggest doing all her extra credit as it is a huge benefit to you in the end.

This class had about 100 students its just such a hard environment to learn a subject like chemistry. However the professor herself is good and will happily explain the content as many times as she needs to. If you dont read the book and practice her worksheets you wont get an A. do the homework. And I definitely recommend PLTL tutoring

This professor rushed through the entire semster just to make it to the last chapter. She didnt care if you didnt understand the material. For instance, she would include the last 20 minutes of the lecture before the test as the main subject of the test. Instead of altering the test to fit her lectures, she would just cram everything in one exam.

Just like any chem class it is going to be difficult. She is very caring and will explain you the material as many times as you need. She gives extra credit opportunities in order for you to get extra points. Chemistry is hard, so you basically have to study for your grade & do well on the test. She will just provide you with information.

TAKE. HER. If you know how to study properly - you will get an A in this class. You must study hard for chemistry - there is no way around it- but this professor makes it very clear what material you need to study. And as a result, makes it easier for students to succeed. (must study at least 2 hrs a day & not have a heavy class load)

In tests you must show work in order to get credit. But if you do show the work, made a tiny mistake, and got the wrong answer, you wont get partial credit. Attendance isn't mandatory, but if you're absent one day, you might miss a whole chapter.

Professor D. is very nice. However, the class is challenging. The class becomes less difficult if you study hard and start way before hand. Take advantage of PLTL extra credit, it can save you! She is a strict grader and will not curve even 1 point. I personally did not even open the textbook once. Go off the notes and you'll be fine.

Study using the extra optional worksheets she posts with practice problems. The people writing bad reviews didn't study and excepted a passing grade.

She goes over 3-4 easy questions per topic at 100 mph and then come test time smacks you with the hardest problems possible. Her study guides consist of solely topics we need to know, and hw is 15% of your total

Toofast, gives problems on test you never practiced in class, homework or the book. Not even the worksheets that are optional. She obviously does this to make you think logically but you dont have for that since the test has many questions with only a given amount of time. you either wont have time to finish or wont know how to solve the quest.

She is an amazing professor. One of the few ones that actually care about explaining 1045 concepts in depth instead of just showing the basic "how to solve the problem". Her test are challenging but in a good way, if you put effort into learning the concepts it will pay off. She will make you love chemistry. Definitely take her!
