Lots of homework in this course specifically, 75-100 question tests, not always clear

Tough class. Tough exams. Moderate final.

She was very helpful and explained difficult things clearly. I did n ot have the same experience as most of the other people who commented.

I thought she was a good teacher. She made it clear that many people would struggle if they didn't study. She went over problems daily with me. That says alot. Sorry haters I think shes good.

I would definitely recommend her. She is sweet. She is now one of my favorite prof's! I took her class in the summer block and got an A! She is really good at helping you if you need it, she's totally open!

She was really good at pulling examples from everyday life. There wasn't a high percentage of people who did well in the class, but there also weren't a high percentage of people who SHOWED UP for class. They go hand in hand. I was impressed at her willingness to explain things over and over if needed without getting irritated.

Chem1010 is a hard class any way you look at it. The key to her class is to read the chapter from the text book and show up for class. If you do that, you'll easily get 100% on all of her quizzes, and she drops your lowest test score for a quiz. You'll also understand the material and do well on her tests. She is very patient with students.

This class was really hard but she is a good teacher. She is fun and that helps so you want to be in class. Her in class quizzes help you to understand the concepts she is teaching.

not a hard class at all, if you are serious about getting an education. go to class, you get free points, read your book every so often, and study for tests, caka explained the difficult things and left the boring stuff out.

Dr. Caka is a great teacher. As long as you attend class you will get 100% on quizzes and close to it on Homework. She goes over homework and has study sessions for exams. She has study questions for every exam and is easy to work with. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Chemistry is hard, she does a great job teaching. Don't listen to the negative comments.

It was a realy fun class. She knows what she is teaching. Tests were clear you can even drop 1 test out of about 5 tests. You will do fine if you memorize "whole" text book and really understand, then you will get A. To get A, just miss 2 or 3 questions from each test. I got A but not easy class.

She is very helpful!

pay attention to lectures. her lectures follow the book. you only need the book to do homework. fairly easy class. her tests are not shocking, she tells you what to prepare for. listen and work hard, great prep for 1210!

DR Caka is a great teacher and really loves teaching Chemistry. If you really want to do well in the class, study, and talk to her if you have problems. If you wait until the last week of the semester to ask for help, she won't be very helpful, or nice.

She is a great teacher! Her class was fun and went by fast, and she rounded up tests so there was a nice bell curve. She gave clear expectations and her class was easy if you put in a little study time. Homework is done online (easiest i've ever done) and she does in class quizzes and gives you full credit on them. Take her!

She is a great teacher. She really got me ready for Chem 1210. People that don't like her are just mad because they are looking for an easy general class. She tells you whats on the test and if you do the problems in the book you will do great. Quizzes everyday but they are easy and just for making you go to class. Just show up to class.

this is a hard class, and don't take it in prep for chem 2010 you don't need it

Great professor! She is very helpful and loves the subject. Make sure you attend class daily. She has clicker quizzes that really affect your grade. DO THE HOMEWORK FROM THE BOOK!! STUDY REGULARLY!! I have to retake the class because I didn't study efficiently and I always crammed but I'm retaking the class from her.

Dr. Caka is dang funny. It is refreshing to go hang out in her class for an hour. Everything is straight forward, and her example quizzes are perfect prep for her tests.

For a 1010 level class, I thought this it was taught at too high a level. The tests were really hard, and you have to do most of the learning on your own from the textbook. The lectures were very interesting, but not as helpful in studying. Be prepared to study for hours a week if you want to pass the exams. Attendance is a must for extra points.

CHEM 1110 wasn't a very easy class. Professor Caka used the online HW system which I found very useful. Her lectures were interesting too and easy to understand. The tests were hard and consisted of material from the online HW, lecture, and the textbook. I did well because I read the whole textbook. She's a good teacher, but it's a hard class.

In the class now, and she is very clear. You get what you put into it.

This teacher is super clear about what she expects. Attendance is worth 16% of the grade. HW is worth another 16%. The HW is online and you can redo it however many times you need to score a perfect 100%. Her lectures are worth coming to. Attendance and HW are easy A's to help boost your overall grade. Her name is pronounced CHAKA.

Caka is a great teacher to take chemistry from. It's a difficult subject, but she makes it very doable. You know exactly what to expect for exams(blackboard has study guides, practice tests, ect.) If a student doesn't take advantage of this, that's his/her own fault. I'm a 3.87 student and I'm getting...an A. No surprise there.

i took this class from professor young and she sucked i am now getting an A and this class rocks she is really willing to help if you put the effort i have a mtwf classes and she has came in every thursday to help with what ever you needed

Caka=Cake spelled oddly. Great class. Easy, but still learned a lot.

She's a fun teacher, willing to help her students, just come to class evryday MTWF(attendance is part of your grade), online HW really easy to do, exams every two chapters, reviews are in blackboard and also she will help you with any question if you go every Th.

Dr. Caka is extremely helpful if you go to her for help during her office hours. However, her tests were harder than the questions listed in the textbook and they often were a little confusing (as in I couldn't always figure out what was being asked.)

Dr. Caka (pronounced Chaka) is a champ! She has a gift for explaining things clearly. Great sense of humor! Her tests are fine. Keep in mind, this is college and it's not good to be delinquent in studying then whine about getting a poor grade. Her grading system is fair. Chemistry is great! Know your functional groups, polyatomic ions, etc.

Dr. Caka explains this subject well, in real world experiences. Must attend MTWF. She even meets with those on Thurs to catch them up. Tests are tough. She is very reasonable if tests questions are confusing. If you have a choice on instructors, choose her. I ended up with an A for the class, but with a lot of hard work. Both thumbs up!

The class was tough but she was willing to help if you asked. Never having taken a chemistry class made 1110 harder, take 1010 if chem is new to you! She makes chemistry interesting, you can tell she loves chemistry. It's kinda contagious actually

Caka rocks! I had not had chem b4(not even high school) and thought this class was fun. Go to class, do the homework, study for tests and you will get an A.

I really enjoyed Dr. Caka as a professor. She was very helpful and went over her tests with me one on one. Her encouragement was one of the factors that made me decide to pursue a graduate degree after I finish up at UVU. I thought that she was a skilled, insightful teacher. Show up on time, though, or prepare to be docked!

Awesome! Makes chemistry fun. Dr. Caka will help you understand Chemistry. A student can make a strong grade with strong work. Would enjoy taking another chemistry class from her.

I loved her! Very good teacher, very nice, too. Expects that you will do a lot of work, but is happy to spend as much time as needed making sure you can do it.

Nevermind the non-chalant facade, she secretly demands respect and will humuliate you if you differ from her or are late on homework. I say it fondly. She can be really fun! She could be uber, but is depressed(?). Poor thing. Work hard, tame your opinion, and she'll be great. Thats true of any instructor. Do it not and you'll be sorry.

This class has very little room for difference. You have to do the work and turn it in on time. Somewhat confusing how class worked at the beginning of semester, but after getting the hang of it, should have been an easy A.

Great teacher she is entertaining in class and a great teacher. Tests aren't easy but if you study hard you will do well

Caka is funny, nice, and actually quite a good teacher. She's good at answering questions and making abstract concepts easy to grasp. But her tests are beastly. 80% of your grade is based on tests and they're anything but easy. There are often questions that were never mentioned in class and you have to really work for even decent grades.

Fantastic teacher. My 'low' rating in the Easiness category is meant to be a compliment. Her tests are hard. Annoying that you have to be in class for the clicker quizes? Please! If you are going to take a class in college, attend the class! And if you are looking for easiness in college, you are going to spend your life flipping burgers.

If you show up to class, take notes (fill in the outlines she gives you), and study for the tests, you will do fine. She is funny and kind. It's kind of annoying that you must be there for the clicker quizzes, but make sure to pay attention and do your best, and you shouldn't have a problem. She's good, but her students aren't.

I loved Prof. Caka. At first it was a little difficult because the labs were always a week or two ahead of lecture, but as long as you read the labs ahead of time, you will be fine. There is a ton of work considering this is only a 1 credit class, but I learned more and loved chem because of her class! Easy A as long as you come and do the work!

Hard class but take notes and attend and it's fine. DO the practice quizzes on bl.board and review notes; some tests questions are straight from them. Need a clicker to do daily quizzes. Does grade on a curve. Grade based only exams. Ask for a study guide & she'll provide one. Very willing to help in and out of class.Good teacher for a hard class!

Prof. Caka is a great prof. It's hard for her to do one on one with students seeing as there are 150+ students. I personally didn't put forth my best effort and still managed a B+. It isn't that bad if you even just attend class and listen to what she's teaching. She does help if you make the effort to go talk to her.

Chem was not as bad as some of these ppl make it. Dr. Caka is a great teacher. Show up to class take notes, which you can get an outline from Dr. Caka. The test can be hard, but if you study your notes, read the chapters, and even setup study groups you will do great. I got an A in her class.

Caka is a a great professor! You have to go to class and study for the tests but other than that the class was quite easy. She is pretty funny and pretty easy to pay attention to. She was a great professor!

Dr. Fern Caka is one of the best professor ever. She is very smart and can be very funny. I love her teaching very much. I would take Chemistry from her.

Excellent instructor. I hate chemistry and had to work very hard but I was constantly able to access my grades/quiz scores/etc and she promptly replied to emails. Lots of homework but a good variety using both Canvas and Sapling was excellent. Wish I could take my next chemistry class from her.

Great teacher, goes over her slides every day in class and posts them online if you miss class. Test were hard though. You need to be able to apply what you learned in further detail than what she goes over in class.

Professor Caka is super helpful and easy-going. We use a text written by the chemistry lab professors (and posted to Canvas, so it's free of charge), so all of the labs are very applicable and follow the chemistry classes very well. There are no tests or final. Grades are dependent on your pre and post labs, summaries, and data sheets.

Caka is one of my favorite professors. The class was definitely hard, especially since it was a hybrid, but she takes her time to make sure you understand the subject. She cares about her students. Because it was hybrid, you had to learn everything at home and come to class with questions, but she was really good about answering them thoroughly.

I can't say enough good about Dr. Caka as a person and a professor. She cares about her students and makes time to help them understand the concepts. The class is hard and you have to put in the work, but a good grade is possible because it is based on participation, homework and tests.

Caka is one of the best teachers I ever had. She is caring and really knows her stuffe. The course is hybrid so you learn most of the material on your own, but if you didn't understand something you can ask in class. Her lectures are answering questions we struggled with and making sure we understand how to do it. Would recommend.

Dr. Fern Caka Phd has been one of my favorite teachers, if you put in the time she gives you more then enough tools to help you succeed. There was never a time she wasnt avalible to go over concepts, or review tests.

Loved this class! She really cares about students & to do well on the exams its important to READ the textbook. It was surprising how many students didnt get that and were upset lol I am terrible at math and I've never had a chemistry class so I was nervous but I did the assignments and read the book and I did great on the exams. Read, show up, BAM

Dr. Caka is awesome! I took the hybrid class, which I would totally recommend. Learning on my own is better for me with tough subjects, so I benefited from this class. If you dont go to class, you will lose a LOT of points. Make sure that you are caught up with ChemTutor and go to class and you should be good!

Dr. C is amazing. I was warry of taking this class online but it was a great choice! She has lots of videos that walk you through each subject. Her tests are not curved, but you are allowed a note card on some of them. She also puts you in small group chats where you can ask and answer more questions. Put in the work and read the textbook.

Dr Caka is straight forward with her expectations and how to succeed in the class, but it is very homework heavy. If you keep up on chem tutor, do the reading, and come to class prepared then you'll do just fine. The tests are tough but she curves the final grade. She is also very understand and willing to help you if you put in the work.

Caka is a great professor. She's always ready to help students succeed. I dread Chemistry but did well in this class. Every question on every test is directly from the back of the book, so I don't know why people are saying her tests are unexpectedly difficult. If you're self motivated and able to read and study effectively, you'll do just fine.

Dr. Caka cares about your success. The textbook simplified the concepts a ton. A lot of extra credit was offered. The exams were based on homework questions in the back of the book and she offered M. teams meetings where you could literally ask about every single HW question. If you need an A for Chem 1110, Dr. C is the one to take it from.

Dr. Caka was a great chemistry teacher, even though she teaches online AND it's chemistry! If you don't grasp a concept after doing the chemTutor lecture there is a ton of extra material to help you understand it. if you still just don't get it, she is super accessible by email and through zoom (pick your teachersbrain) appointments, serious 1-on1

I did horribly in Chemistry in high school. Chemistry is hard. Expect that. If you don't read the textbook, take notes, and study for the recommended amount of hours, you will not pass and you shouldn't because it means that you don't understand Chemistry--yet. She explained Chemistry the best I have had any prof explain it. I understand it now,

Chemistry is HARD, just accept it now! You have to put in lots of effort and work to this class, but Prof Caka is so understanding and so helpful. She responds fast to messages and gives you so many resources for everything! Test material comes straight from practice problems in workbook. If you put in the hours, you'll be totally fine.

Great professor who is willing to help you if you ask and put in the effort. All exams were based on homework questions from the textbook. If you practice the homework and textbook questions then you should be able to succeed. Note card was allowed on each test and she always helped me with any questions I had and great at explaining things.

Wow chemistry is so hard. But if you have to take a chemistry class, I would definitely recommend the online course with Caka and Davidson. It was so hard and I felt like dying so many times. But Caka and Davidson had a pretty good system figured out. I liked the ChemTutor lectures. They had online meetings where you could ask questions and such.

Dr. C is great and she is hilarious. Always willing to help if you are struggling. Lots of homework send reading but if you are dedicated you will do fine.

Dr Caka is a fair professor. Do your work and you'll earn the grade you deserve. She is very willing to help when needed.

Guys! Take Professor Caka! Chemistry is a difficult subject, but she makes this class doable! There is a lot of reading and homework, but it is all so beneficial and actually helps you learn the subject! If you put in the work in this class you will do great.

The one thing about this class is that all of the test questions will be given at the end of the textbook, the bad thing is that there are more than 100 questions per chapter and you are expected to study this all for the test. So if you don't have any outside commitments you will do great, meaning you have time for this Fern Caka is great though.

Dr. Caka gives you absolutely everything you need to succeed in CHEM 1110. The test questions are directly from the textbook, so you will succeed if you read each chapter and work each problem. She is helpful and responsive and gives MANY opportunities for extra credit. Put in the time and effort and you will do well!

Do all the questions in the back of the book for each chapter you go over as they will be your homework and exam questions. She gives out a lot of extra credit so read the syllabus when it comes to that. This class is hard but if you put in the work and show up to live meetings you will do just fine.

Professor Caka did an amazing job teaching an online course! I only have time to do online classes, and this one was probably the most organized and put together. She gives you a ton of opportunities for extra credit and is always available to answer questions. I could tell she really cared about her students and wanted us to succeed.

I took this class online and I truly believe that the professor you choose "makes it or breaks it", I think Dr. Caka did an amazing job, she is passionate about helping students understand chem.ChemTutor is used, which goes over the chapters and quizzes you about it. You will be good if you read and do the questions in the back of the book.

Dr Caka is great. The way this online course is set up is terrible! Would not recommend- please dont take it. You get ZERO feedback on tests- meaning you have no idea what you get wrong and why- you just get a final grade. Almost every single question requires a type in response with accurate sig fig so there is a lot of room for error.

Dr Caka was so patient with me. I had technical issues unrelated to the course and she went out of her way to help. This course is hard! Follow ChemTutor and don't skimp on notes. Practice a lot! Tons of opportunity to do well.

This class is no walk in the park, but if you stay on top of the ChemTutor assignments and read the textbook, you can do well. Unstuck AI and practice problems really helped me prepare. Professor Caka wants you to succeed, just put in the work.

I'm not a chemistry person, I was so nervous to take this class, but Dr. Caka and Mr Davidson were amazing. I 100% had to put in the work, I worked so hard, read the textbook, did the assignments, and got an A. This isn't an easy class, but Dr. Caka and Mr. Davidson were amazing at explaining the concepts in ways that would make it click for me.

I took CHEM1110 online from Dr. Caka and had a great experience. She was incredibly kind and supportive, and she really cares. This class took a LOT of work, but that was compounded by the fact that I took it during second block of summer. For the tests: DO THE PROBLEMS IN THE TEXTBOOK. If you put the effort in, you can easily get an A.
