She was a great professor and was always willing to go the extra mile to help! I would recommend her to anyone that is pursueing the health field. She helps you better understand the chemical compositions and is very crystal clear! but you have to sign up to find out!
She is very helpful in learning. She teaches a lot of memory techniques to help you remember. She wants he classes to succeed so she offers a lot of makeups and extra credit. She gets a little goofy in class but it keeps it fun and helps you remember. She has a passion for chemistry and will help you learn it.
She teaches Chemistry for those who have never had a chemistry class in their life, and she teaches it well. Eventhough it is intro to chem, you need to be there everyday. She covers topics at lightening speed, and if you miss a day you are behind. Very helpful and wants you to do well.
She is the best chem teacher ever!! if you go to class like any one who actually plans on graduating college and study before every test then you will get a good grade. I love you Ms. V.
Dr. Wiegreffe is an excellent professor, I would recommend her to anyone. She is eager to see her students succeed and is always willing to give extra help.
She really does want you to do well but she never lets you out of class early.
She will do whatever it takes to help you. She always makes sure she has office hours available and never lets you out early. You can leave, but you will miss a lot if you are not there. Chemistry is hard for anyone, but she makes it pretty easy to understand. She can be pretty funny which makes it more pleasant to learn. Definitely take her
Friendly, somewhat approachable, and a humorous professor...however, she lectures great amounts at a speedy pace, if you don't understand the first time, read the book. I felt her tests were put together at the last second as numerous questions had mistakes that made test day more stressful than it should have been.
4 Tests , 1 Final. Homework 2 assignments for every chapt. Can take 2hrs or more. Quizzes & Labs every week.1 homeowrork dropped per exam cycle.Final can replace lowest test grade. Hard grader. A lot of work . More than 12 Hrs a week to make a good grade. Takes forever to put in grades. You will learn , but it will highly cost you. Hated this class
I worked so hard in this class to make a good grade. I ended up having to drop it. The test averages were in the 60's. Everyone was struggling. She did not bother to curve or let us fix the problems for at least some credit. Gave one extra credit assignment that was a statistics problem that was super difficult to solve. Do not take!!
DO NOT TAKE this professor for higher chemistry courses.She is intelligent but afraid intelligent students, so play stupid and do not argue with her. Be prepared to dedicate 15hr of homework alone.Study your book and not her notes. The most inflexible person you'll ever met...better look elsewhere if you care to learn & a good grade.
DO NOT TAKE!I made an A in my 1025, but I was extremely disappointed with her in 2045. I felt I learned better with the science tutors than with her. Rushed lectures, impossible to take notes (she does the livescribe). Tests are to tricky, unclear how she grades them. Brags she is intelligent yet she couldn't explain some subjects. BAD.
Awful professor. She comes to class with notes and still has mistakes in them. She also singles students out who correct her. The worst thing is that half of her tests are on the history of chemistry, which is decent to know but should not count as so much of your grade. Lastly she will take points off for doing more than your supposed to.
I wasn't too sure about her at first, but grew to really appreciate her towards the end. She drops the lowest lab grade, and drops one online quiz grade per test cycle. Also, the better you are with math, the easier this class is. I hardly used the book, as she is great at teaching the concepts her own way. A tough class. Test averages were ~65-70.
Dr. W knowledge is amazing. I took her on my Chem I and made A in her class. All her lecture is still on my binder and help me thru my Organic I. If you take her, make sure you take note and listen. Argue with her if you dont understand. She wouldn't take that against you but consider your questions and give you a best answer as she could. Awsome.
Dr. W is the reason I love chemistry. Throughout the semester she taught and preached chemistry so that we will learn and understand. If you are looking for an easy teacher she isn’t it. If you are looking for a professor who WILL make sure you understand, she is the one. If it wasn’t for Dr. W, I wouldn’t have made A’s in Gen Chem 1 &2!
This class has been one of my favorite classes. Attendance is VERY important. I have done well in this class but it didn't come easily. I tried my hardest and never missed a class. Besides that, she teaches chemistry in the easiest way possible and makes sure everyone understands the material. Prepare yourself because it takes a lot of effort!
Don't take Dr. W if you are wanting an easy A, but do take her if you want to succeed at chemistry later on, she teaches with clarity and passion and explains very well. There is A LOT of math required, so brush up on calculator use. I would not suggest taking her class if you are just getting a gen ed credit. I recommend her for science majors!
Dr.W loves teaching this class, she is not one of those professor who complains about the subject. She treats her students with respect and helps them when they have put an effort into learning. This class has a lot of studying involved, reviewing over notes is a must. Don't procrastinate on doing homework. Refresh on your math skills as well.
I loved taking this class with Dr. W, she loves what she does and cares about everyone and is very willing to help anybody. Im the type of person that doesnt have to study for test and pulls out good grades, but not for this class. i worked my butt off this whole semester and still ended up with a B, you have to work hard for the grade you want!
This class is not a gimme. If you need a science just take astronomy, but if you need or want to learn about chemistry take Dr. W, she is a great professor and will lend a hand if you need help. Just do your work and study and you will be fine. I'm taking her again for 2046 and I'll update again. p.s She gives NO extra credit.
All you people that took her 1025 class and speak so highly of her, try taking her for higher levels of chemistry. You won't be so quick to defend her I promise you. The most eager students in this class ended up with C's and one of them was a chemistry tutor. Inept to offer help, demeaning, and unorganized. I showed up, studied, and still failed.
Excellent teacher. She gave all types of examples for word problems and her methods were clear, concise, and to the point. Her labs were very easy also. Missing a day is no big deal because she pencasts her lectures and puts them on BB. Took CHM2045C after and recieved an A with minimal effort due to the concepts learned in her class!
This class was a waste of time for me. Found out after I took it that it was not required. Always made excellent grades in Chemistry until this class. Felt like I was in high school all over again. Was not very encouraging, and didn't matter how much I studied, it wasn't enough. I DID learn, but I still have nightmares about this class!
I highly recommend not taking this course. Prof is very nice and knows what she's talking about, but i think she struggles to teach it at an easier level for students. Tests were fill-in, and multiple choice. Mix of lecture and interaction. labs were ok. One positive note, she does pencasts, so if you miss a day ,she records the lecture on BB.
This class was super hard and I would not recommend her. She doesn't have your best interest in mind and she may give up on you before the end. She doesn't take time to explain and isn't very organized. I studied and came to class every single day and still had an F average for tests.
Great teacher, and really hot too.
She is AWESOME! My major is heavy in chemistry and she gave me a good foundation! Never be afraid to ask questions in class, she seriously only wants to help. For those of you complaining about her 2045 class, she said so herself she hates the way she has to pace herself in that class, but she loves teaching 1025c. I highly recommend her to all!
This isn't an easy class.You have to work for your grade and really pay attention. Don't expect to miss class and understand the material. She has a since of humor and makes an early morning class bearable! I had to take the HESI A2 for nursing and I received the highest grade in the chem portion with a 90%. Awesome teacher and loves what she does!
I would highly suggest taking this professor if you want to retain the information you learn. She is not an easy teacher, but as long as you do her work and show up for class then you will pass. I would suggest sitting closer to the front, so you are not easily distracted . I absolutely loved her!
She was a wonderful teacher and very entertaining. It is not an easy subject but she makes it possible to understand. I highly recommend her. I took the NAT and the science portion was right out of her class.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!! You will work your butt off to not make the graded you anticipated. Do not spend your money on this class take with a different professor!
Another Dr who treats an intro class way to seriously, made us memorize half the periodic table and She gave a syllabus quiz, and actually graded it(very pretentious) and if things are not converted her way, its wrong. don't make my mistakes.
She is very tough, but still has a heart. She has a way of keeping everyone awake, even You need to study a lot if you want a good grade in the class. Her tests are brutal, but there are hardly any surprises because she will make a list of the stuff that's on the test if you ask her to. She makes a to-do list for you at the end of every class.
This class was awful, do not recommend to anyone who likes their GPA.
Dr. Wiegreffe was a great teacher. Super energetic and loves what she does. i am taking her again next semester for another class. She is really into attendance so don't miss her class. if you pay attention and do the homework its an easy A. she breaks things down and makes them clear, but expects you to study and do your part to learn.
I took the CLEP Exam and had to drop her course. I recommend you take the Intro and then CHM2045. Exams are tough, PARTICIPATION is a MUST!!! She calls out your name every lecture. She records her lectures & can be accessed through BB. HW will take you a minimum of 4 hours on Wiley Plus, which is horrible: HW 1 had 44 questions with part a,b,c,d.
Tough class, definitely covers more than some of the other profs. for the same class. Tests are brutal, but you are definitely going to remember the material.
She's very helpful and does an amazing job at teaching, but class won't be easy. Only take her if you NEED to learn the material for your major. She makes sure you actually learn chemistry and remember everything, but it's going to require work on your part. Not an easy pass, but you'll learn chemistry through her better than any other professor
Dr. V is an amazing teacher. I didn't do as well in her class as i should have, but that was totally my fault. Don't make the same mistake as be and just do the stuff on time. Shes also really into attendance so show up! She funny, passionate and will keep you engaged. Definitely take her if Chem is something you will need to understand!
I really admired Dr. W. She is very passionate about Chemistry. However, when I signed up for her intro to chemistry class, I was expecting it to be and "introduction". She treated her Intro class like an advanced chemistry course. I think it is wonderful that she loves what she does but she should remember that we are beginners.
Amazing teacher. I worried about taking Chemistry but from the very first day she was outstanding. She explains things very clearly and if you have a question she will keep explaining in different ways until you understand. She is the most patient teacher I've ever had. You have to work for your grade but with her teaching it was even a little fun!
I thought I understood Chemistry decently well before I took this teacher for 2045. I had an A in 1025 and just managed to pass 2045. She tries very hard, but I didn't connect with her. She acts silly and appears that the class enjoys her. I personally would not take her again but maybe just teaching style clashes with my learning style.
Speaks in a very disrespectful and degrading manner to students from the very first day of class. Worst personality I've seen out of any teacher during any semester.
This professor right is an amazing teacher. You. Will. Learn. Don't be alarmed by rating of 2 for 'easiness.' The class is not something you can just sit through and expect to pass. She will make you practice chemistry problem after problem, and you'll be glad she did that. She knows her stuff and her cool personality will keep you awake in class!
I'll start by saying that I hate sciences and was walking into this class expecting to fail. I finished the course with an A+! She's very helpful and really tries to make sure everyone succeeds in her class. There is going to be a lot of work but if you attend class and pay attention you should do phenomenally. 10/10 would take her again!
Took Dr. Wie with four other classes, probably wouldn't do that again but turned out to be my fav class. Super silly and uses tons of examples to help material stick. Passed the class but I really had to work for it! Wish I waited to take her for 2045
Professor Wiegreffe has been by far my favorite teacher in school. I went into her class disliking the subject because of previous teachers but after taking her class, I have a new respect for Chemistry! She does ask her students questions inclass which scares me, but if she hadn't, I never would've learned as much as I did. I highly recommend her!
Dr. W is nothing short of a phenomenal chemistry professor. You'll find yourself frustrated with the work load, only because it is necessary. If you take this class, you'll need to know chemistry for your profession & she helps you understand concepts and apply them like no other professor has done for me. 10/10 recommend for those willing to work.
I did not enjoy Chemistry before this class. Dr V. does a lot of drilling, she forces you to memorize and study. It's great. It's a lot of work and seems a little crazy at first, but you come away really knowing the material. She is also fun and really cares for students to succeed. Lots of structure to her course. Loved it.
I hate this class on the first day. However, I start to love it day by day. My advice: paying attention in class is neat and making sure you study and remember the lecture because she will randomly call your name to answer question. She is really nice. She is willing to help until you understand the problems and tests are close with wat we learn.
She will help you when you ask, and has a funny personality. You don't really need your text book? I didn't anyways. Always do your homework on time, and ask questions if you don't understand a problem. Take good notes!! The tests are a mix between multiple choice and written problems. Make friends, the class will go by faster and it will be fun.
She really knows what she is doing and super helpful. She explains everything so well and is very willing to help. Her test are easy if you study. She gives a lot of homework but its worth it because you end up knowing the material. Closely related to a math class because its a lot of solving equations. Amazing teacher and overall easy class.
Dr. V is a great professor overall. Lots of online mastering chemistry HW on top of worksheet problems, so be prepared for that. Enjoyed the class, but it was extremely disorganized! She uses a consumable notebook for problems, but goes out of order. Hard to keep track of the specific pages needing to be studied for the tests. Would take again.
Hands down the best class thus far. Don't mistake the fact CHM1025C is technical and challenging. Through "Dr. V"'s guidence the material was broke down and made tangible. She is fun and you will retain the information.
She is the best chem professor at FSCJ. She really make sure you understand the material, which is really important for next level chem classes. Her lectures are from her, not the book or a boring power point. Her goofiness may make her come off as a bad professor. If you stick out the first couple weeks, you will realize that she is very good.
Holly is one of the best professors you may ever come across, she's quirky and commands attention during lecture in a good way. There were times I left school actually happy I drug my butt to class because of her. If you want to learn chemistry she is more than capable of helping you do that, if you want a hand out this is not the teacher for you.
Best professor I've ever had at any campus at FSCJ. She is very enthusiastic, caring of your future and education & helpful with the material. Uses a lot of real-life comparisons to help things make sense. Pay attention to her lectures, take notes, and study.
She was an Amazing Prof! She loves her work, and is, I'd say, the model professor. She has a very peppy attitude, is very approachable, and is easy to talk to if you need help. The textbook can help. You'll have a lab every week, and quizzes and tests often. No paper. Overall an awesome professor. Would definitely take her again.
Dr. "V" has to be my favorite professor at FSCJ. Chemistry was so intimidating to me at first, but she made it understandable! She wants to see you succeed. You definitely have to pay attention and review, but the hw helps with that. It gets kind of annoying bc it does take a lot of time, but it is helpful! I wish every prof I had was like her.
She is very clear from the beginning how difficult or easy the class is and who should take it or not. She really cares that everybody advances at the same pace if possible, she takes the time to know if everybody is on the same page or not.
She is very clear from the beginning how difficult or easy the class is and who should take it or not. She really cares that everybody advances at the same pace if possible, she takes the time to know if everybody is on the same page or not. If you work hard enough it will be an easy A.
First off I'm not good at Chemistry. So to say that Dr Wiegreffe is an outstanding teacher is an understatement! She was so patient and would explain things during office hours again and again! Very down to earth but has high expectations of her students(which she should!) I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her!!Put the time into your grade and you will pass
If you need to know chemistry, Professor W. is marvelous. I always thought my chemistry skills were poor but after taking her class, I never knew how well I excelled at the subject. Nor did I ever think that a teacher could ever inspire me as much as she has. It's now my major because of her. If you NEED to know chem, take her class. Study hard.
A lot of information to take in at once in short amount of time for tests. Good lectures and all but it was like you have to take in what is given to you. Listen and do to what she says and you will (barely) pass the class. You got to be smart and quick to catch on. She will call on everyone is the class. NO slacking, she is caring for you.
Would not recommend this class. You can work your hardest and still not pass. We get handouts and do work in the handouts. What we go over in class, some may be on the test and all the others are questions you dont see in lecture. Doesnt do make up test etc. she grades labs hard. She expects you to know this stuff.
I'd recommend if you want to learn and want to know your stuff. Because she cares about your learning and she would even stay after class to help you if you don't understand something. But do not take this class with others big classes like Calculus or physic on the same semester!!
Dr. Wiegreffe is very intense, but she care about your learning. She's available to answer any questions and also explains things in a very interactive and understandable manner. Very serious about chemistry, and a great thinker.
I took Dr. Wiegreffe for 1025C & 2045C & I absolutely adore her. This is an intense class. She is the greatest professor Ive ever had. She explains things perfectly & I was never confused. If you truly want to learn Chemistry take her. You need to devote a lot of time to her class. Shes quirky & funny & personable. I wish she taught 2046C.
Very very tough grader, does a great job with lectures, but hardly anyone in my class could get a B on her exams. I'm not sure if it was how she chose to determine her grading or if it was just the questions themselves. Thought I understood concepts and how to apply them and would miss out.
she is very though and mean. if you miss a test, you get zero. no make up test even if your are sick.
Love, love, love her! She is pretty tough, but clear on her grading and really wants you to understand her lectures. Stay ahead on all HW and make sure to put units and correct sig figs on labs or you will get docked big time. I took her for 1045&2045 and wish she taught 2046! Super patient and helpful when you need help. Highly recommend
Pre-professional majors (Medicine) please take her. She will prep you thoroughly for harder chemistry. However, you will work hard, but chemistry is challenging to begin with. LOTS of practice problems, homework, classwork, that are well explained in lecture. I wouldnt recommend missing lecture. Some extra credit on tests.
Dr.V is an amazing proff. that is there for you. There are point opportunities and gives lots of practice to understand concepts well. She makes chemistry a lot less difficult, she will definitely prep you for more rigor chem classes.
Professor Wiegreffe is the best professor at fscj. She geniuenly cares about her students and pushes them to do their best. Her class takes a lot of work, but she is super helpful and the practice pack for note taking in class is really great! She says a lot of funny things in class and loves the word kooky. I wish all professors were like her.
Professor Wiegreffe is the best professor Ive ever had. Lectures are fun, and this is coming from someone who hated chemistry. She truly cares for you and will try to help you as much as she can. Really funny and fun overall. If you need to learn chemistry for real TAKE HER.
I never liked chemistry until I took her class. She is so amazing when it comes to teaching as she plans everything out for the whole course and sincerely cares about all her students. I have never learned so much in any of my classes at fscj until I took her. Don't be fooled though, she is not an "easy" teacher, she will make you work hard.
Dr. V is probably one of the best professors I've had and makes Chemistry easier to understand. She gives you a lot of practice but that is the key to learning and passing her exams. I rather work hard now in an intro to chem and save the sweat and tears in upper division chemistry. Her passion for chem and her students is not like any other.
Chemistry is not an easy subject but Dr. Wiegreffe simplifies it in a way that is easy to understand (lots of practice problems which are amazing tools for success on the exams). She is a funny, nice, and caring professor who is willing to work with you. Of course she is tough, but hey that's college! TAKE HER!!!
MsWiegreffe is by far one of the best professors i have ever had. From the first day of class to the last day she makes it her duty to ensure that every single one of her students know the material. She has office and online hours where she is available to help at anytime and she responds to emails quickly. I love MsWiegreffe.
I highly recommend this professor to anyone who wants to take any type of chemistry, or at least start w/ introduction to gen chem. It's lecture-heavy and if you miss class, you'll miss a lot, but it really is worth it to come to every class. Additionally, she's very caring and will own up to her mistakes if she does any. A real great prof!
I adore her so much. She is an amazing teacher and person. She is so patient helping with any questions and goes the extra mile to help you understand. She is the best teacher at FSCJ and really knows her chemistry. I hope she wins teacher of the year cause she truly deserves it. Whoever rates her bad is just lazy and expects As to be handed out
Dr. Wiegreffe was a great professor. She taught all the material that we needed to know very clearly. In class, she helped us through the learning process. Everything in a teacher that you'd want. I learned a lot.
I have always loved chemistry and I was very excited. To my disappointment, this class has left me with a strong distaste for chemistry and I'm now dreading Chem 1. Her tests are worth 65% of your grade, but they are nothing like the homework or anything else in the course, very hard. The workload is insane in this class. She is nice though.
I was terrified to take chemistry but Dr. W was amazing. She breaks topics down into easy to learn chunks. Labs were also cool. I feel ready for my next course. She also is organized and just an all around great teacher.
Youd have to be crazy not to take Dr. Wiegreffe. She really cares about her students and really(really) loves chemistry. If youre expecting a hand out, this isnt it. If you want to come out knowing your chem, this is it. Youll have to work for your grade. Dont be afraid to ask her questions! She wants you to know the content! So glad i took her.
Professor Wiegreffe, is probably one of the best teachers I've ever had. She really breaks Chemistry down to detail, and is very organized. She helps you understand Chemistry, instead of it just being a subject you need to pass. She cares about her students and is always there to help you. Don't skip her class though.
Dr. V was the best teacher I've ever taken by far. She's super nice, funny, but she also knows how to teach and keep your attention while teaching. As long as you do the homework, you will not fail this class and understand everything. She really cares about you and will make sure that you understand. You will not regret taking her. Would recommend
Great teacher, nice and funny. Her lectures were awesome. Unfortunately her tests are extremly difficult and it almost impossible to get an A. Do not believe a rating below a 5.0 difficulty level. was up till 2 many night's panicking while trying to memorize vocab and her "mole mountain"
As a person she is great, as a teacher not so great. I never leave bad reviews but I have never worked so hard in a class before. I missed one class, went to tutoring every week, &studied every night & hours for her exams. Her hw takes a good hour and half everynight and if you fall behind youre screwed. Ended up with a 69% in the class & failed
She was great at teaching and would answer questions fully. She was very understanding and was there to help with anything you had a problem with or didnt understand. Overall a great teacher who provides everything you need to get an A and learn the material. She can also be very entertaining at times and keeps the class pretty interactive.
I took Dr. W 2 years ago& still hear her in my head coaching me though stoichiometry problems I'm doing in Biochemistry. Her amazing teaching skills and inspiration helped me ace the exams. Her class isn't easy by any means, but if you're taking chemistry it shouldn't be easy. Study ahead and do all assignments and you'll be glad you took her!11/10
Dr. W is amazing. I was terrified of chemistry because I am not very good at math but Dr. W really helped me. I feel confident about my next chemistry class. Thanks Dr. W!
Before taking Dr. V I was skeptical because I hateD chemistry and never Understood it, but Dr. V makes it manageable to understand. You have to work for your grade in this class but Dr. V genuinely cares for her students and wants to see them succeed. What you put in is what you get out ; make sure you practice because tests are worth 65% !
In person she is great, online her class is a nightmare. Out of order hard to follow lab reports. Tests that look nothing like any material previously provided. Details on lab reports that should be provided as or before your doing them given on submission page! Will not grade less hard online, although instruction quality online drops drastically.
Best professor for chem
Dr. Holly Wiegreffe is an awesome professor for chemistry. I was so scare to take chemistry but she taught it so easy and clearly. Her lectures are amazingly effective and easy to learn. She is very caring and can accessible outside of class. She always reply quick and always ready to help you. I highly recommend Dr. Holly Wiegreffe for chemistry!
I took Dr. Wiegreffe's class last year and she's an excellent professor. She wants her students to UNDERSTAND the material instead of simply memorizing it. Has office hours and is ALWAYS willing to help out. Tests can be challenging however chemistry isn't meant to be easy.
I LOVE DR. W!! I took her last spring and I still look back at my notes for my chem 2 class. she's the best chemistry teacher I have ever come across. she makes sure that you fully understand the material and not just makes you memorize it for no reason. Her tests are somewhat tough but study hard and do all the homeworks. Flashcards help a lot.!!
I'm not exaggerating when I say Dr. Wiegreffe is the whole reason I'm not struggling with the math/chem portion of my nursing program. Class and lecture is engaging. Do the homework, it's worth the effort grade-wise. If you fall behind don't wait to go to office hours, it will definitely save your grade!
Dr. V's class is very info-heavy and she does as much as she can to help us understand the material. Due to COVID-19, she recorded videos of her going over the practice pack she made in order to aid us in going through the notes. Dr. V is very thorough with the class material. This class is not recommended if you cannot put time into studying.
It was absolute torture, Tests are worth 65% and if you get a bad grade on one of them that's pretty much your grade for the course. The test look nothing like the course material and are really long. She does this weird thing too where she doesn't teach the whole class during the lecture but you have all these videos that are 30min each.
Professor is great at helping students whenever needed. Be prepared and start on her practice pack before going to class. Is going to be horrible at the beginning with the workload, and only gets a little better. If you are not prepared for what feels like 12 hours of work a week do not take this class because you will fail. Tests are hard.
Dr V. is a great professor, but it is a lot of work. She has lecture videos every week that feel like they take around 8 hours and then there is also online homework. The first week has about 15 hours of homework, so try to get a head even before going to the first class. Overall this class is a lot of work, so dont take it if your lazy.
Arguably one of the best professors I have had at FSCJ. Class was difficult but prepared me extremely well for Chem 1 and Chem 2.
Rigorous teacher, but gives plenty of resources and opportunities to learn. She uses a science-based teaching approach: spaced repetition of core material, video lectures, skeletal notes, online homework, and plenty of relevant hands-on practice. She is very responsive to emails and available for individual and group conferences. And it works!
I wasn't feeling confident about this class, but this professor is great because her way of teaching felt very understandable and I have mastered a lot of chemistry skills that I couldn't handle before. The course is a lot of work, but it is practical/useful. She gives her students more than enough of her own videos and notes in and out of class.
Prof W is a rigorous teacher but also a reasonable one. She provides ample amount of resources to learn chemistry (videos she has made herself, skeletal notes, availability for conferences, and quick responses to emails). I have learned a lot of chemistry in short 16 weeks. Her hypothesis about spaced repetition and lots of practice truly works!
