I think she's hillarious but nobody else seems to pick up on the humor. Just do your prelab and come into lab with half a clue of what to do, you should be okay. Don't copy off of others, that'll make her upset, and rightfully so. If you need help ask she'll give it. Reports are a lot of work.

I would change my major if I had to take another class, with Faith Whitworth as my professor, regardless of the major. She is not a good teacher. Her TA's do all the heavy lifting and she does nothing.

The workload was insanely heavy and took up most of my time. I would typically work on work for this class for about 10 hours a week. Along with the workload, Faith is not a very nice person. She made me cry three times in one lab; all I did was ask for help. If I had to take another class with her, I would 100% transfer.

The first 5 weeks made me rethink all life choices but after that it was somewhat livable. You will spend 10-20 hours of work outside of class but she is helpful if you go to her. A lot of people drop pre-med because of her. Do not be surprised when your class is empty by the end of the year.

This lab will consume 4-6 hours of your life outside of lab period / week, and she is an incredibly hard grader, but it is also somewhat useful and un-skippable material. In her office hours she's super knowledgeable and kind, and it definitely helps to ask her questions instead of your TA's during lab, because the TA's are usually awful at helping

-explains concepts very clearly -though needs clarity in her writing and lots of spelling errors.. ironic how that is counted as a grade for lab reports -few of the TA's hired do not really have a solid foundation of chemistry, which is bad when you let them grade prelabs + post labs -not ADHD friendly and will be the most stressful class taken lol

Faith is a great lab instructor. Her lab is very organized unlike the intro bio labs. However, you will be spending 6-8 hours before and after lab doing work; this course is no joke. Many pre-med students will be dropping pre-med after taking this class (or if they fail out). Anyways, you dont really have a choice of who to take, but she is awesome

Good person and teacher, but is a VERY picky grader. You'll lose points for any little mistake you make. Not to mention the 5+ hours of homework every week. First month is STRESSFUL. But, if you prepare for lab, you should be fine. Reading manual, taking pre-lab notes, a pre-lab quiz, and her pre-lab lecture each lab are unnecessarily repetitive.

the workload is awful. prelab notes sometimes take 2 hours, prelab quiz, setting up lab notebook, postlab. always felt like I was behind in her class because theres so much work. shes amazing, love her as a person, just hope you get a good TA. TAs do all the grading and can make or break it for you in the class. get on their good side.

The coursework is challenging for a 1-credit class, but expectations are clear. The professor provides detailed outlines, is very accessible outside of class, and genuinely wants students to succeed. Lab directions are straightforward, and TAs are always available to help.
