I really don't know how Dr. Clark received such good ratings. I honestly thought she was a horrible professor. She went over the difficult material too fast, and went over the easier material slower. I went to office hours and did not find her helpful at all. I taught myself the material the whole semester.

I took Dr. Clark's class fall 2017. Trust me she is not a great professor. All she does is walk around with her microphone and says ask me questions, instead of teaching the material. I wish she can spend time teaching more and explaining the concept more, most of the students were so confused including me. I did not like her at all.

She is so bad at teaching. I had to teach myself the materials. I am so sorry If you have to take her this spring. Good Luck.

She is the worst professor I've had by far. Every week there's a new packet and she expects you to complete it in class- BUT SHE NEVER TEACHES YOU HOW TO DO THE PROBLEMS. her exams are nothing like the study guides you're given, she NEVER puts grades up, and she's always contradicting herself. No words to describe the frustration you go through.

Worst professor I've ever had the displeasure of knowing. She might as well have put thermodynamics on our exams because her exams did not reflect material that was "taught" in class. Absolutely awful professor. If you don't have high blood pressure now, you will after taking her class. I'd rather cut my own leg off than take her class again.

I never seen a professsor scamble through material so quickly. She didnt try to teach the class!! All she provided was worksheets that made no sense what so ever. Her final for the fall 2017 was nothing like her study guide and really messed up with a bunch of studnets. Would never take her again!

Bad reviews are on point. Every class she would just give worksheet and you basically have to teach yourself. I couldn't avoid taking her as shes the only avail. I was so frustrated throughout the whole semester. You won't learn a thing in lecture, TA was better. Every student I spoke to was soo lost. She should use power point and use wk as hw.

Not the best teacher and comes off as rude, not the best people skills. However, you can teach yourself for the class and avoid on-on-one professor time.

You have to teach yourself the material. The lectures are not clear and are disorganized

an overall bad professor and teaching style

Worst professor I ever had along with TA. You can study constantly for this test and still feel unprepared. She always comes up with crazy questions and she claims that this class challenges you to think abstractly, which is true. Be prepared to feel like an idiot because I just cried throughout this whole semester. She has no teaching skill.

She is very disorganized if you want to get a good grade you must attend office hours to understand the material. She teaches by giving out worksheets that you do during class. Lab's are okay they aren't too bad. And when studying for exams/quizzes do not just use the review packet, she will put harder questions that you have barley gone through.

This class was very tough. The labs were super hard and this professor didn't teach she just gave out worksheets. I got an A because I would seek help from TA but honest5ly I feel sorry for all you that have to take her. She is nice but the class overall is a pain. Good luck just good luck with labs. Exams are decent. Please don't cheat using chegg

Doesn't teach at all - just goes through worksheets that only make sense to her. She doesn't have good people skills and comes off as rude and uncaring. She does not care if you feel lost - expects you to keep moving forward. My TA was always confused about what was going on - not communicative. Would never take this class again.

would never take chem with this professor. She doesnt explain thing clearly and if you ask her a question she gives you the most vague explanation or just the answer which isnt helpful at all. She rushes things and gets annoyed if students cant catch on. She cant explain and often confuses herself as well. Does everything off worksheets

She is lazy with her teaching and does not explain well. Definitely don't recommend her class but oh well she's the only professor that teaches this class.

Horrible professor, was very disorganized in every lecture and lab, gave a ton of homework, very hard-to-read notes, and didnt explain concepts well

Way too much homework and she cannot really explain simple concepts but makes everything confusing.

Way too much work since she'll cover one or even two chapters a week (which is a total of two lectures a week) and she cannot explain simple concepts such that she even confused me about stuff I knew before class from gen chem. Do NOT take her if you have the chance!!!!!!!

Prof Clark is so unorganized. Her lectures are always unrehearsed. She makes her own exams/quizzes and they're absolutely terrible. She words everything super confusingly and adds so much unnecessary information to the problems. The labs are pretty decent tho bc the TA's are good. Her midterm is take-home so that helps at least.

Absolutely useless and disorganized. She is the only one who teaches this class, so my condolences. Teach yourself and rely on labs because they are the biggest portion of the class. She mumbles words under her nose and expects you to come to class after watching recorded videos for chapters. Will only do 1-2 examples. I stopped attending class.

This professor mumbles through lectures is completely on organized, does not go through problems with the class. And just expect students to be on the same page when she presents new concepts. You will be teaching yourself everything!! 0-10

She can be generous during the term, but doesn't answer emails on time and tends to forget a lot of thingS. S he shouldn't teach the course.

She does not explain concepts well, hard to follow her lectures because she keeps making mistakes which makes you doubt her credibility, ineloquent, and is confusing. I did better watching organic chemistry tutor for the exams than attending lectures. Her lecture slides are not helpful and are poorly organized.

Always makes mistakes, cannot read her handwriting, she doesn't even want to teach and its very obvious. Runs through content like we already know it and just all over is not a good professor, do not take her, save yourself.

Runs through content like we already know it and just all over the place and is not a good professor, do not take her. Doesnt explain very good and the lecture is not very organized.

she tries to be funny but NO it doesnt work , monotonous lecture

Clarks lectures are unorganized as can be. It's hard to follow along and you end up going to watch videos on youtube to learn. As I am writing this I am in her lecture and stopped listening as she throws over 20 I-clickers at the entire lecture within a minute and a half where we cannot even answer a majority of them.

The instructor can be confusing with brief explanations so recommend taking notes. Beware of technical issues with assignments; if you encounter them there is often no compromise to be made to receive the credit. I highly recommend asking the TAs for help if you need it in this course, they are eager to help and explain concepts.

Very disorganized. Doesn't respond to emails. Lectures are all over the place and is very confusing.

there is so many things i can say but im only allowed 350 characters but whether it was forgetfullness or sometimes her incompetence during the summer 2024 chem122 session she needs to change a lot with her own teaching and how she runs a summer class never seen a professor who never responds to emails or who is this forgetful

I'm concerned about Professor Ginevra Clark teaching. Lectures lack structure, often off-topic. Office hours are rarely helpful. Grading is inconsistent and lacks feedback. These issues hinder learning. Please address to improve the course quality. She seems lazy, and grading is inconsistent with very bad feedback. Very low-quality Professor.

Her lectures are meandering and boring, and it seems like she has no clue what is even going on half the time. This class isn't that difficult, but the grading is very harsh and unclear, with both her and TAs taking off points for minor things. This class takes a lot of time and effort, and unfortunately, she is the only one who teaches it.

can't read and doesn't know what she is teaching will read a problem and then not explain it, also skips questions a lot

Professor Clark did not care about the material she would teach. None of the lectures were engaging; it was always going over a worksheet in which, yes, she would explain calculations step by step at the bare minimum, but would never actually apply the meaning of what we were learning. Prepare to teach yourself once again.

Worst professor ever. Teaching is the worst and covers a section that's one the exam for 10 min and she's done. Would NOT recommend

Clark is a terrible lecturer. She is bad at helping, preparing you for exams. Once, she straight up skipped an exam review question because people were talking in her class. Everybody I ask says that her lectures are unintelligible, and most of her students end up going to Hatfield's class so they can experience a real lecture.

Does not know how to teach. Not structured or oganized. If you ask a question. She will tell you to read the book. No powerpoints. Only copies and pastes pictures and paragraphs from book to her sheets that we had to learn from. Doesn't teach everything you need to know. DON'T take her. She whispers alot and we cant hear

Doesn't care about her students. She doesn't know what she's talking about most of the time. Her lectures are pointless. Cant hear her because she's so quiet. She says she's there to ask for help but when you do, she says to look at the book, and that all the answers are there. Will avoid emails. Avoid her at all costs.

Analytical chemistry was not difficult concept-wise, but the professor's handling of the course made the class less enjoyable overall. Dr. Clark was really nice during face-to-face interaction, but she was very difficult to reach outside of class. The coursework is very lab-heavy, and the difficulty was compounded by often unclear grading criteria.

Gigantic headache. She was very useless when it came to learning. her lectures are just copy and pastes of the book. Learn chem by urself in ur in her class champ.

She doesn't explain and just rushes through all the material saying there's “no time”.

Very interesting teacher. She sucks at teaching you might as well just learn on your own.

.... Do not take this class. Her lectures are sooooo bad her notes are literally so unhelpful. She seems so disorganized. She seems like a nice person but as a professor she is lacking in a few ways. Seriously if u take this class prepare to just learn on your own. The notes are literallyy like screenshots off the textbook or something.

she doesnt care about students at all, rushes through slides, skips literally every single slide and doesn't know what she's saying half the time. shes so unorganized and doesn't try to help students

I think that she's a nice person but just not a good teacher. She would speed through all the material, give so much homework, did not explain things properly whatsoever. She would always look off another device when she was teaching so it didn't give me much hope to be confident in what I'm doing if she was looking off of another device to teach.

She's nice but doesn't put in effort to teach. She's always distracted, always messing up, super unorganized. She's not helpful in office hours, rushes through everything, and isn't clear about anything at all. She skips half the slides, and her slides aren't helpful; they are straight from a book, making it impossible to get an A in this class.

She's so unorganized and doesn't care about her students at all. She'll act like she does, but she doesn't show that. coming from a 4.0 student, this class was made impossible to get an A with the curve she gave . this class is all self-taught

She was very rude to me when I went to her office hours regarding a problem with homework site. She told me to just drop the class. She was very unhelpful and went against what we had agreed on with my advisor. She is very unorganized and is even too lazy to make her own slides so she just uses the book. She also goes off topic every 2 minutes.

attended every class and did not benefit except for clickers. waste of time and messed up my gpa.

You'd think that I'd have to call upon the supernatural to help me get through this class. Unorganized, test heavy, and such vague explanation of material. You're better off letting the textbook teach you than sitting in a lecture hall for an entire hour and learn absolutely JACK.
