I found her test pretty fair. She does cover material pretty quickly and expects you to read the book to keep up. She will explain a topic more than once if it's tricky and is very willing to help you if you are confused. I came into this class with very little knowledge on chem but I found that I learned a lot in this class. Homework is tough.

PROS: Offers a 50pt bonus. Helpful material on Moodle--powerpoints for each chapter, practice tests with answer key, uploaded all tests forms after you take an exam with problems explained. CONS: Long, monotonous lectures. Get past accent. Pop quizzes, so attendance is important. Long MasteringChemistry homework so don't wait until last minute.

She is such an adorable lady. Her lectures were boring however. Nonetheless, I learned a lot in her class and her exams were similar to her exam reviews.

She really wants her students to succeed, will help you during office hours, tries to make you accountable for the material. ALL Chem 1201 courses are difficult at LSU and require tons of studying. Teaches first four chapters really fast. Ch. 3 is the hardest. She offers lots of Bonus! Go to SI sessions, study 20+ hours weekly, you will make an A.

I have no idea why her rating is so low! She has a little accent, but my friends and I have no problem understanding her. She is VERY helpful in her office hours and after class. Her practice tests are similar to her real ones! I was bad at chemistry in high school but am about to finish this class with A! Second easiest chemteacher (after Kolinak)

No clue why her rating is so low. She is a great teacher. She is more than willing to help if you have question, she gives super easy in class quizes for easy points, and she posts practice tests online that are exact same as real thing. She assigns a lot of homework, but it's nothing you cant handle. Slight accent, but understandable. Would take.

She's hard to understand sometimes, but if you ask her she's more than happy to help. Really sweet lady. She'll assign practice problems for your benefit, but they're not graded. You'll save money if you just buy the access code for MasteringChemistry since it has the eBook.

Dr. Kizilkaya is a really nice professor and always willing to help during her office hours. Her tests are really challenging, but you will adapt and learn to study properly. The homework is also really difficult, so expect to spend hours on each one. Go to class (10pts a day). Do the bonus! Brace yourself for the department final.

Dr. Kizil was an outstanding chemistry instructor! Never would I ever have any confusion about any of the topics covered in class, and if you did have a question, she was always more than willing to help. She would assign in class quizzes that she would give you the answers to before closing the submissions. Prepares u 4 the departmental final.

Dr. Kizilkaya is a very sweet woman and very willing to help you in her class any way possible. Attendance is part of your grade and she takes it everyday so do not miss or your grade will suffer. There is a large bonus project... do it. This is the only bonus opportunity you will have.

Dr. Kizilkaya is probably the best chemistry professor you can take at LSU! all of the people who wrote bad reviews probably suck at life and don't study. Her lectures are not super clear, but I teach myself anyways so its no big deal. HER TESTS ARE JUST LIKE HER PRACTICE TESTS! Do the hw, attend class she gives a question each class for grade.

She is very nice and super patient! Always willing to help, and she gives you the benefit of the doubt on lab reports. The midterm is pretty hard, but it's take-home, so you have time and resources to help you. She doesn't penalize for late lab reports, so long as you don't make it a habit. Learned a lot and had fun in this lab.

She is by far one of the best chemistry at the professors at LSU! As long as you go to class and do the homework you should be good, I ended up with an A.

She's really nice and tries to help you understand, although at times i was confused. If you want to pass just show up, do your homework and go to some of the SI sessions. Her class isn't hard if you put some effort into it, and she does give bonus work (you have to do outside of class; you'll see what i mean).

I really enjoyed her class. If you put in the effort and go to all of the SI sessions, there is no reason you shouldn't get an A in her class. She's very helpful in her office hours and really wants her students to do well. I never once opened my textbook. I would take her again, great teacher!

Dr. Kizilkaya is the ONLY chemistry teacher you should take at LSU! I see her reviews are bad & idk why. She has a slight accent, but I'm telling you that her tests are easier compared to every other prof at LSU! She doesn't try to test your ability to apply knowledge, she tests you on the process. Seriously, loved this lady! My fav. prof. at lsu!

If you want to learn chemistry really well but are okay with getting a B, she's perfect. Her tests are hard and I failled most of them, but she gives extra credit for in class questions and for doing the homework that I still managed to get a B in the class. She gives you very helpful notes that you can follow easily while she teaches.

Unlike most people here, I took her for the analytical lab. She was very clear on what she wanted, and welcomed all our questions. Midterm and final were straightforward. In addition, she was very sweet and still smiles whenever she sees me (I took her two years ago).

Kizilkaya is foreign and has a strong accent, but it isn't too hard to understand her. She actually teaches the subject, unlike some of the other professors. She gives a lot of homework every week, but do the homework and go to class for the extra credit clicker questions and you'll be fine. Good professor altogether and knows her stuff

At first I absolutely hated this class and failed the first exam. If you take the time to look, she provides every single thing to set you up for success in this course: Notes for purchase, practice modules, practice problems, SI sessions, homework, bonus questions, and office hours to review exams. Tough course, but you actually learn if you try.

Dr. Kizilkaya is a wonderful professor for CHEM 2002 Analytical Chemistry Lab. She is available to help outside of the lab. Also, her TAs Emmanuel and Neepa were very helpful. This lab is fairly difficult, but it is definitely possible to get an A if you put in a lot of effort.

I hardly showed up as I could not follow the lectures. Pretty easy material and plenty of bonus is available. Lowest test grade is also dropped. Definitely not a hard class but there are easier chemistry classes available. Not a bad choice but not my first.

The first test is always rough, if you go and talk to her she will give you all you need to excel in her class. she is very approachable and always available to meet because she wants us to do good. She moves fast during lectures, make sure you bring the notes and take extra notes to make sure you get it. Bonus are offered and can help out alot!

Dr. Kizilkaya's lecture slides are always posted on Moodle, and that helps greatly with learning the material if you get confused in class. There are many quizzes for extra credit. The tests are pretty challenging at times, but the extra credit and homework will get you through. Master the homework, and you'll have a good understanding for the test

I would highly recommend taking this professor. She went at a good pace and offered extra credit in class almost every day. She assigned a lot of homework that you cannot procrastinate, but if you can do well on the homework you will be good for the test. The only thing is that she has a very strong accent and can be difficult to understand.

I took Dr. Kizilkaya's 1201 class over the summer session A, which I do not suggest or recommend if you are taking another class. I was taking 12 hours and I could not breathe. Every day there are assignments and weekends are spent reading and studying. It's doable and passable, but just wasn't for me. Therefore, I dropped and got out of Pre-Med.

Had pre-recorded lectures. Difficult to understand at times but the subtitles help. Multiple extra credit options. Easy to pass if you complete all assignments.

Dr. Kizilkaya was a very caring professor. The grade you get in the class definitely reflects how much work you put in during the semester. She made schedules for each week helping you organize when to watch the lectures, take the quizes, and do the homework. If you follow the schedule, everything goes smoothly. She was a great professor!

She was a pretty good professor, she was one of the better ones during the pandemic. Though she posted pre-recorded lectures, they were very well done and very organized. She gave us schedules for everything due so you shouldnt really miss any assignments. What you get in the class is a reflection of the work you put in.

Dr. Kizilkaya was an amazing professor! Because of Covid-19 I had to take her course online but it was very organized and structured to where I always knew what was due and when. And she also offers extra credit if you come to class practice exams before the actual tests which are really helpful. Also make sure you go to SI sessions!

An AMAZING teacher I wish I could take her again. She is very organized and prepared. She has a schedule telling you when to watch the lectures, do the homework, and quizzes. If you follow the calendar and do the study guides you should do well. You get bonus' for doing recitation sessions and getting an A+ on homework. She really cares.

shes been very helpful when i reached out to her. shes always responded to my emails. she genuinely wants to help u and make sure you pass. the material is mot easy but if u attend the SI sessions and reach out to her youll be fine

At first I was nervous about taking her class but now I am so happy that I did! I took her class online. She has all due dates structured for you & amazing study plan implemented as well. If you are organized and keep up with her schedule you will do good! She also offered a lot of extra credit opportunities as well. Amazing & would take again!

Professor Kizilkaya is one of my FAVORITE professors at LSU. She gave a clear schedule for the entire semester, which outlined due dates for quizzes, homework, tests, and extra credit opportunities. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EXTRA CREDIT! Each homework assignment can get 10pts back and she has chances to receive points back to your OVERALL GRADE!

Loved this class because my TA was great! She doesn't curve or round up grades, but honestly you don't need it. Also, don't take this until you finish CHEM 1201 and are currently in 1202. If you don't, it will make the class so much harder.

I really recommend her if you aren't good at chemistry! She explains things so well, even better than my statistics prof at the time,,,lol There are 2-3 quizzes per week and homework, so it's definitely assignment heavy. But she does drop like 8 quizzes and the exams are so much like the hw and quizzes it really helps!

Love this class. I bombed one test and still got an A. Test are somewhat easy if you understand what's going on, and I studied the day before for most of them. She's so nice and will take time to help you with anything if you ask. TAKE HER!

All of the CHEM1212 material including exams are the same. Dr. K does not curve. A couple of my friends have different professors and they are not receiving curves either. The class is heavily weighted on the midterm and final (50%). Dr. K is extremely nice and accommodating.

She's incredibly caring and helpful outside of lab. The lab reports aren't bad but the questions you had to answer were crazy. I was in the dark sometimes. She's also such a tough grader for the in person midterm and final (Spring 23). There's also no feedback on the quizzes because they're on Moodle. I learned a lot, but it was tough.

Dr. K was an amazing professor to have in chemistry. I took both her CHEM 2001 and CHEM 2002 courses. Extremely helpful and always available in her office. Go to her to get explanation on her practice problems if needed bc the book is not helpful for that (lab and lecture), amazing teacher, she went fast sometimes in lecture, do not be intimidated.

Dr. Funda is a sweetheart and made this lab really enjoyable for me. I would've done way better in this class had I put more effort into the midterm. Go to her office hours!! She also has a lot of guidelines for how to write the lab reports on Moodle. If you follow it, you should be fine as far a lab report grades.

Dr. K is fantastic and clearly knows her stuff. Her grading scale is very forgiving, and its pretty hard to get below an A in the class as long as you do the homework and pre-class quizzes. She offers a good deal of extra credit throughout the semester, most of which serves really well as exam review. Definitely would take again!

If you have to take both lecture and lab, you need to take Dr. K. She teaches the lab and is hands on, and you will learn the same stuff in the class and in the lab, so it makes both classes easier, if you take the other prof. for lecture, you will not do as well in her lab. Great prof. loves her job, and will help you if you ASK her, go to her!

She's great tbh

so many bonuses esp if you show up to class and do the study modules (hence my a+); also has practices exams which are the same as the exams with different values. not hard, dont be scared, just apply yourself and study.

She cares about her students and will ensure you understand the material before you move on. She does learning catalytics questions and dynamic study modules on Pearson for bonus, so even if you bomb the test, it is still possible to make an A. She does not curve the exams, but if you study for at least 3-4 days in advance, you will be fine.

If you know basic high school chem tests 1 and 2 are a breeze. Gets a little hard at test 3 but if you do her study guides ahead of time and know how to do the math-- which is basic algebra-- then you are golden. Shes amazing and so caring, she wants you engaged. I wish I could have her for all my chem courses.

This lab takes a lot of effort, but she is very accessible for questions and even flexible if she can tell that you are doing your best. Just do not underestimate the time commitment of this lab, each lab report was 8+ pages for me and took hours. She's a cool prof too, would definitely take her again.

Dr. Kizilkaya is extremely kind and truly wants you to succeed in the course. She does take participation at the end of each class that is included in the overall grade for the course, though you can afford to miss some classes. She provides slides of notes that she goes over in class. Her exam review lectures are a lifesaver.
