Harriet is one of the best professors I have ever had.She is bright and knows her chemistry.She will require you to work hard but is very fair and helpful.This is a labor intensive class but you can expect to get your moneys worth.
Had her for 105. Class is fun. I would reccomend anyone that is afraid of chemistry to take Harriet. She will leave you with a love of Chemistry.
She is one of the best teachers I have had at lane. She goes fast but is very clear on how to learn the material and what you need to learn. Do the homework, go to class, take notes. Lots of information, but she is organized and on top of the Chemistry thing!!!
She doesnt like to offer help. she is stuck up. and gets mad easily when you ask questions
Chemistry is a very difficult subject for me! Harriet made it interesting, learnable, and FUN! She's got alot of energy and it shows while she is whizzing away at the board explaining topics!
GREAT TEACHER! Highly recommended.

Great teacher
No nonsense; great teacher
Good teacher for a hard subject. Chem 112 is a very rushed course by nature, she takes it in stride and helps you too as well. Gives a massive study guide for the final, final questions are STRAIGHT OFF IT. How cool!
take this teacher if you have the chance!!!!
Spectacular teacher. I hate chem and I'm awful at science in general (particularly chem), I started the class just hoping maybe I could pull a B- and I walked out with an A+. I also actually understood the material because she explains things in a way that anyone can understand. I highly recommend this teacher.
Harriet covers A TON of information in her class. Show up, take notes, do the homework and you'll do well. Very helpful if you don't understand the info presented. Just don't hold up the class with your questions, see her during office hours.
Great teacher! She makes it very easy to learn and understand materials. If you show up to class you'll get a good grade. Excellent teacher
Makes a difficult subject very easy. She is very straight-forward on test material. If you have to take Chemistry, take her class!
tells you what you need to learn and doesnt pull any punches. If you do the homework she gives you, which you dont turn in, you do well in the class.
Good teacher. Tell you exactly what is on the test. very clear. will help a lot if you do the home work.class was fun.
Harriet made a very difficult subject much easier to grasp. It was a great class; I wish she taught CH 221 & 222!
Her corpopration with students was great and teachng was fun. She does not through swing ballsat her students or prepare tricky exams. YShe is very fair and if student does the job, then they will do well. Exactly like yshe tells you from day 1. I am very happy to reccomend any future students to take her for the Bibonds. It was a real pleasure
Harriet is a great instructor! She makes the material easy to understand and she gives a lot of info on what is going to be on the tests. I would take another class with her anytime!
Such a good class! Very helpful and made the class interesting.
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! she makes a difficult subject easy to understand and interesting. i never dreaded going to class. she takes time to answer any questions you have and encourages asking whenever you're unsure.
Harriet is one of the best professors i have ever had the pleasure to study under. She is excellent at explaining difficult subjects and is extremely helpful. Her tests directly reflect the material covered. If you do your (non graded!) homework, and take diligent notes you will pass with ease. I highly recommend her for any subject. Excellent Prof
I loved her teaching style. She is very transparent about what will be on tests. Things that she says 3 times and gives you "the look" are all on the test. All the questions on the final were the exact same as the homework problems (homework isn't mandatory). If you pay attention in class you'll do well!
She has got to be one of the most intelligent women teachers I have ever had. She will go out of her way to help her students too. She will NOT tolerant any cheating or attempts at cheating either.
BRILLIANT WOMAN WITH AN AMAZING GIFT TO TEACH! Harriet goes above and beyond in helping her students - she really cares! She has perfected the art of taking something extremely difficult to understand and breaking in down so that anyone will get it! Attend class, take notes and don't be afraid to ask for help - YOU WILL SUCCEED!
A lot to cover, but by putting in the time you can succeed. I got a lower score due to my own fault, not the instructor. She will find points to give you.
Class isn't mandatory but its a necessity! She skims the book so if you aren't in class you will study way to much nonsense information. She lets you know what is exactly on each test (even gives you a run down of the actual test!) Learned a lot and actually had fun learning chemistry!
BRING A TAPE RECORDER. She goes through lectures really fast. She uses alot of visual aids, but if you're trying to write notes, you're sure to fall behind in the lectures. Makes herself sound less tough on grading than she actually is and likes to put things in the test that she says won't be.
She is very clear as to what you need to study. You can tell she has worked hard to make hard material easy to understand. We cover a lot of material in class so make sure to not miss class and be ready to take lots of notes. Great teacher!
She is very clear on what her expectations are and what it takes to succeed in the class. Even though homework is not required to be turned in, it is key to a good grade. She gives plenty of opportunity for questions, but then shows irritaion/annoyance that you asked one. Despite that, she DOES simplify chemistry & tells exactly what's on the test!
Tells you everything that will be on the tests and gives you all the problems that will be on the final (no having to guess what to study). If you do all the homework problems and reading you will succeed! She talks fast and every other word is important so be ready to listen up and take notes. Great chances for extra credit. You will succeed!!!
Harriet is the BEST! Its a hard class, but she is very straight forawrd with what she wants you to know. she tells you EXACTLY what to expect for tests. Definitly take this teacher for biobonds if you get the chance, and consider yourself lucky!
She is a great teacher, has plenty of office hours to help you out, explains exactly what will be on the test
Awesome Chemistry class! I didn't even think I liked Chemistry till I took this class! Harriet is the best. Extremely clear and totally willing to answer questions.
I've never taken Chem before this class and now it's my favorite subject. She makes the tests very understandable and she is super organized. Take this class even if you don't need it. DO THE HW!
Amazing teacher. Absolutely love her teaching style. She moves pretty fast, but if you take good notes and do your homework, you will get an A. Best teacher I've ever had. Fun class
Harriet was amazing! She goes fast because there is a lot to cover, but she does it in a way that clarifies it all. She answers questions thoroughly, gives you the information you will need, and if you've done the homework you're going to do great!
Great teacher! goes fast but alwasy asks if you need clarification. Do homework and go to class. tells you what to study.
Behm is a great teacher. Very clear and what is to be expected. Do all your homework, show up everyday, and study consistently. You do all these things and you should be just fine.
Harriet is a great teacher. She makes every concept clear. She is approachable, understanding and is so knowledgeable. Sometimes she has some strong opinions but any story she tells is directly related to the subject being studied and makes it easier to retain the information. I would highly recommend her as an instructor.
Harriet is simply a great teacher!! She has great stories which help you retain the information that she is teaching you. She is extremely clear as what she expects from you. She gives you everything you need in order to receive an A in her class, you just need to do the work! She is wonderful.. and don't forget to do your homework!!!!
Harriet is exceptional, fun, and encouraging. She works hard to make the content accessible and understandable. She instructs from day one how to get an "A" if you want one. It was the most clear path to an "A" I have ever experienced. She also sincerely enjoys getting to know her students and building a relationship with them.
Harriet is very encouraging and very fair. She teaches clearly and emphasizes "elbows in" or This is simple, keep that mentality. This course was an overview of chemistry for health professions and I learned a great deal
Great teacher - interesting!funny and very smart so she moves fast! Pay attention do the work and you will do well. Fav teacher so far at Lane.
Harriet was amazing,i loved her teaching style and ability to explain and keep it simple. I would recommend her for every chem class
Harriet was by far my favorite teacher! Every class was none stop info and if you didn't do the homework you would fail the class. Harriet did a great job with her handouts and test preparations. The tests are hard and nearly impossible to pass if you didn't do the homework. She has a great personality and will help you wherever you need it! :)
She is awesome! She wants you to pass and makes the material as easy/palatable as possible. Make sure you keep up with homework!!
Harriet was an amazing instructor! She was very clear about what we needed to learn and about what would be on the test. She is very nice and open and friendly with all of her students. She really truthfully wants everyone to succeed! Take this instructor over any others if you get the chance!
Great teacher!!! She is very clear from day one on what is expected. Don't miss any classes and do all of the homework and you should not have any problems!
Very knowledgeable professor, who took a complicated subject and made it easier for me to understand. Nice personality. Good sense of humour. Very helpful and approachable. One of my favorite teachers at Lane.
She was awesome! Very clear and helpful
I never thought my best grades in college would come from Chemistry but Harriet is truly an awesome teacher. The classes are solely lecture based but if you attend, engage, and study you will get an A. She is clear with all the material and loves questions. She clarifies what's tested ahead of time so there's no reason not to get correct answers!
I went into this class with high expectations of the teacher based on what I read on here. Unfortunately her teaching style and how I learn DID NOT mesh at all. Lecture is very tough. Homework is all optional and doesn't go towards grade. Your grade is made up of several exams (which are VERY long and tough, imo.) I don't recommend this teacher.
As long as you are there for lectures you should pass with a good grade! She is very helpful and a great teacher to take for chemistry!
She is amazingly smart and makes chemistry fun!
Works very hard to make sure students understand the material. She gives you an idea as to what will be on the tests. However, you absolutely need to make it to every lecture, and do all of the homework if you want to be successful in this class. I would take a class from her again.
I was so nervous to take this class because Chemistry isn't my absolute strong suite, but Harriet made it very simple and clear to understand. She gives very clear study guides for tests and there is no busy work. She is really funny and personable. She makes it possible for everyone to succeed. MUST DO ALL THE HW, that's what the tests are one.
Harriet is amazing!She kept to her promise and made Chemistry fun. I was nervous to take Chemistry b/c of how "hard" it can be, but Harriet has worked really hard to create a structured system with precise class handouts to follow during lecture and to make sure you know EXACTLY what is on the tests. Go to class+do homework+ask questionsA. Great!
Amazing teacher, gives out test questions of what is going to be on each test, including the final. Makes class fun and not boring.
She is THE BEST teacher I've ever had! And boy does she teach! She puts the most effort into her lectures and layout of the class than any teacher I have ever taken in my 6 years of college at 2 different colleges. You will not get any better. I wish I could take her for every class!
Harriet is my favorite Professor at Lane! She's very straight forward and tells you exactly what you need to focus on. She'll point out possible test questions during lectures and gives out focused supplemental reading materials, so you don't have to read the whole chapters to find what you need. She's a little Kentucky Gem!
Harriet is now one of my favorite teachers. I struggled with Chemistry in high school but she makes Chemistry so much easier. She keeps everyone engaged during lectures and always uses stories to help us remember certain material. Definitely take her class, seriously she's the best!
Harriet is the best! She illeviates the anxiety about chemistry being "hard" and breaks everything down in simple ways to understand. She is so smart and explains everything well and is really funny. There is a lot of homework, but it isn't busy work, it will help with tests. One of my favorite classes I've taken at Lane, by far!
Harriet really works hard to make the material as understandable as possible. She breaks it down simply and is very clear. She gives handouts that supplement the textbook (which she complains about constantly) and actually tells you every question on every test, including the final. The only way to do poorly in her class is to ignore her or skip.
Harriet is amazing. She is tough and has a lot of tests but she is very clear from day one about what is on the tests and gives you all the tools to be successful. She tries to make difficult material as simple as possible and will make every effort to help struggling students. This class is hard but she makes it just a little bit better!
Harriet is an amazing instructor. She simplifies everything that is difficult to something that is so easy to understand. Honestly her class makes me want to learn more about Chemistry and I hated science in high school, never got good grades and never wanted to show up. Love her!
Picked Harriet off reviews from this site. Fast paced class, extra credit opportunities, available for help, speedy email response, kind, doesn't use moodle. Makes her own study packets to use with book. Test reviews are exactly what test will be, no surprises. Don't miss class, you will fall behind. Flash cards work wonders for this class.
Harriet's class was great! She knows how to teach and who she is teaching to. She is very organized and helpful. The class/subject is challenging for most, but she makes it accessible to everyone if they are willing to put in the work required. Skipping lectures and falling behind is not wise, you will be lost in A & P even if you pass this class.
Awesome teacher
Harriet's class was challenging because of the material but she always used analogies to make sure you understand it. She makes sure we are in this together and all on the same page. Takes time to answer questions and will email you back promptly if you have questions outside of class. Stay on top of your work and you will be fine.
She is a great teacher. She ensures that you get the subject she is very clear about her expectations. She tells exactly what to study for the test. She gives you all the possible questions for the final Test. She is funny. She doesn't teach you things that won't be in the test. I would recommend her.
Honestly the best instructor you could ask for. She makes learning fun and breaks things down so everything is clear and easy to understand. There are lots of extra credit opportunities. If you show up yo class and do the work, you shouldn't have a problem passing.
There is no one better than Harriet! You HAVE to go to class, or the material will be difficult. She has worked so hard to make the class as easy as possible. She makes it fun and entertaining. There is a lot of material to go over, but totally doable with her lectures! She prepares you for the test. There are no surprises, just stay caught up!
She makes concepts incredibly easy to follow and understand and wont let anyone get left behind.
Awesome professor! Makes things very simple!
Easily the best professor I've ever had!
Her tests are hard and worth ALOT of points. There is a lot of homework. Yeah she will tell you whats on the test, however better answer her questions the way she wants you or the way she told you too or she will mark it wrong on your tests. be prepared to dedicate most of your time to her class.
Best teacher on the planet. Took her in spring of this year and she is still hands-down my favorite teacher. Easy to understand, fun and you can definitely tell she is trying hard to help you rather than just ramble on aimlessly. If she taught a higher level i would take her again.
Harriet sets you up for success. Not only does she CLEARLY outline how you will be graded in the class, she is also tells you exactly what will be on exams. Homework is not required, but definitely do it. If you skip assignments it is easy to get behind during her lecture because she moves very fast.
Harriet and her twin sister are both fantastic professors!
She is the best instructor I have ever had. She makes chemistry a piece of cake. Just make sure you record the lectures so you take note at home, because if you take note during class you will fall behind for good. I love her.
Harriet is a very smart lady and is extremely passionate about chem. She will help you if you need it and wants everyone to succeed. Ask questions, even if you think they are dumb.
Very intelligent lady with a very helpful teaching method
I had never taken a science class before, and went into Harriets class with absolutely no prior knowledge. I took Harriets class twice. The first time I completely failed. The second time I got an A+. Harriet breaks things down and makes things very simple so you can understand. Shes one of the best teachers Ive ever had. She cares a lot.
Harriet is amazing! She's very straight forward with the lectures. She always gives an outline for the exams which helps so much. HOMEWORK IS IMPORTANT. Do NOT ditch on the homework.
Harriet is an inspirational teacher, she wants every student to pass. If you never show up you can fail easily, if you go to every class the tests are a breeze... and I have horrible test anxiety. Absolutely love her attitude and teaching methods!
She is an amazing teacher! She explains everything thoroughly and in many ways so that all her students can understand. She will assign homework, but she does not collect or grade it. Your grade in the class is based purely on exams. She tells you exactly what is on the exam, which is great because then you know exactly what to study.
Harriet was one of the best teachers I've ever had. She's very clear on what will be on the test, and she even goes over what questions will be on each test with you! She says things in a way that makes sense. You don't hand in homework, so your grade is just tests, but she offers extra credit as well I absolutely loved her and would take her again
Absolutely the best teacher out there! Wish she would teach every class! Chemistry in general is hard, but she does such a good job of keeping things simple. You must go to every class or you will be lost and do the homework it will make the tests easier. If you take chem definitely take her class!
Harriet is straight to the point and gives good analogies to understand the material you'll be learning. My class went fully online due to covid, and she was pretty nice with our class and gave us extra credit opportunities, open book, and even dropped our lowest test score. I'd recommend if taking her class online to do the homework!
Behm is a professor I can learn from quite easily. She leaves success up to students, I recommend being very proactive with her chemistry course. The only weighed work you'll be earning a grade from are quizzes (EC available) and forum postings (only EC). She is willing to help outside class, is very amiable, and gives us all resources to pass!
Harriet is amazing, I cannot recommend her enough. I always struggled in chemistry but she breaks everything down so it's digestible. I have never had a teacher who I felt actually prepared me for future classes; I took her's 2 yrs ago & now I can honestly say she is the exception to this. She loves giving A+'s, do the work and you'll get one too.
I loved Harriet! She made Chemistry easy to learn. I studied her lecture notes vs book and did great. DO the assignments which arent graded but help lots with the tests. ALSO DO EXTRA CREDIT!! Those who dont, dont get As. Every week you read, do assignment, take a quiz, and post 2 ex credit forums. Then 3 exams including final. Take her class!!
THE BEST INSTRUCTOR EVER. Material was very thorough and clear. She assigned HW every week, and weekly quizzes are related to the HW, so if you aren't lazy the quizzes will be easy. She responded to emails super fast if you had ANY questions. GREAT communicator and a very like-able person, and genuinely cares about your success!!!
