She helped me personnaly. I was struggling from the very beginning and asked for her help.

Dr. Ali is a very nice instructor who cares a lot for her students and wants them to do well. My two brothers had Dr. Ali and she remembered them from years ago.

She is very nice teacher. I enjoyed her class and yes she can be hard to understand, but everything she lectures is in the textbook. As long as you study the chapters, you will come out with an A in the class. Dr.Ali can also be very funny. Plus she lets you have 3*5 notecard for tests. What more can you ask for!!!

Ali was great!! Very caring and understanding about everything. Got to cram everything onto a notecard for tests. A little hard to understand at first, but always willing to try to clarify if only you'll ask.

Dr. Ali was able to make things pretty understandable to someone who has no knowledge of general chemistry. Not the best at clarifying things if you're confused, but it's because she really wants you to think about the problem at hand. Good sense of humor for the most part and she definitely cares about the students.

Dr. Ali is very knowledgeable about her field of study. She is always willing to go the extra mile to help you to learn. Is always up front with what she wants, gives clear info. as to when things are due, with plenty of notice. Always willing to help you before/after classes, she never suprises you with things you didn't expect. A Great Person

Very nice lady, kinda hard to understand at times. Always willing to help you as long as you have tried to solve the problem yourself. Very easy to catch in her office before & after classes. For the test make sure that you know the notes and study any pages that she points out.

At first i didn't like her at all. She was hard to understand and i didn't like her lectures. but soon i realized i was actually learning...like a lot! She gives TONS of opportunities for extra credit. i ended the semester with an easy a and with no previous chemistry experience.

Dr. Ali is a good teacher! As long as you care about the course and your grades so does she. Do you do your assigments and study and you will do great in this class. Some material is difficult but as much extra credit she gives makes up for it! She's got a funny sense of humor and just an all around great person!

She is a hard teach but she is a good teacher.

she is a very good and smart teacher she does know what she is teaching sometimes she is strict but if your going to go into chemistry for a job you have to be precise with your data. But overall she is a good teacher.

From personal experience with Dr. Iffat Ali, you have to keep up with the material + study. She is a high quality professor who knows her stuff. The level she teaches at is high/great, but that's bc she wants her students to meet high/great goals. She's def more than ur money's worth. You just have to put in the time/effort in this "boot camp."

Yes, it's a hard class, but she does everything she can to help students understand. Blackboard, extra credit, going over and over items. You have to study, but you also learn a lot! She is an extremely intelligent professor!

Great teacher once you get past the accent.Provides plenty of material for you to work with and has note packets available to print. Fair grader and plenty of extra credit. I don't understand why everyone thinks shes a hard teacher.

Not as bad as people say. Big part of grade comes from labs which are easy. Just pay attention to get past the accent

One of my favorite professors. A little tough, but she wants to make sure you know your material. I love her little jokes and wording of things. Her accent is not bad at all. Do the canvas quizzes until you get 100% and you should do just fine on the tests. (I have taken this class before and failed, but am getting an A in her class).

Dr. Ali is not for everyone. She expects students to exhibit the initiative and readiness that they will need to succeed in university coursework. If you want the material dumbed down and spoon fed to you, you should take someone else. That said, I learned a great deal from her and was well prepared for CHM 151. She gladly helps if you show effort.

This course was needed for my transfer credit. Show that you are working on course by asking interesting questions in class. I worked on the suggested problems and Canvas quizzes and had no problem having my grade.

For good grade, stick with the textbook and review the class problems. Exam problems are going to be similar. See her for more help. She can lead you to outside world and success. I was with her in science fair judging, she made connections for me, wrote good recommendations for my applications in professional schools. Use her help for your future.

First of all chemistry is HARD. This was my second try. With the instructor before I didn't pass this course. This time I turned around, worked on all suggested problems, asked questions in class. I have an A as of now and hope to keep it that way. I need to be good in chemistry and metric if I want to be a nurse.

Love the accent and the dog joke. Had to share with my mother- mom laughed. No problem so far. Everything on the test is from the lecture notes and the suggested problems in small variation. I will get an A, as it looks so far (mast midterm).

I am learning to read the textbook and do assignments. In highschool I didn't have to do any of that, yet got straight A. This is college, not highschool, there's a job waiting for you. You better prepare yourself this time. I dont want to do restaurant jobs anymore.

I took her class a year ago and she is still one of my favorite professors. She's very helpful and easy to understand. Always available via email or in her office. Tests were difficult but doable. I would definitely take her again!

I learned to sit down and read the textbook for the exam and quiz prep. Canvas quizzes are for unlimited attempts and gets better - she takes the best score. Many of the exam questions came from Canvas questions. I didnt have to discipline myself in highschool for a grade, but this is college - you better work for your grade.

Summer chemistry is speedy, you must be good in time management. I work and have 2 courses -enough to make me go crazy. But out of the 2 classes this prof gives more chances to practice online quizzes, takes the best grade and gives 10% extra credit if I took more than 10 trials in the quizzes. The best exam also goes to the total for another exam.

I was worried, it was summer session which is fast. I took her advice and went to the tutoring center regularly (helped me survive in the first 2 exams, math is my week point). The last 2 exams were fine without any help (no math). The best exam score counts as another exam, made my grade easier to get a high B in the semester.

Very clear in the grading format. Take all quizzes (huge bank, randomized) with your heart's content (unlimited attempts allowed) and learn how to answer them when shows up in exam. Better start reading the text, solve problems, math applied, but easy (like 8th-grade-hard). I got my A with some work.

Will take again. Opened up my eyes to reality of life - you must learn your subjects to win a job. You can skip some classes, but be careful - Chemistry does not go with skipping class. You can use note card for exams. :)

I never missed a class, loved her explanation in another way when I was confused. It is amazing how simple math can be applied to solve problems in chemistry. She allowed me to bring my kid one day to listen to her lecture. I wish she taught math too!

Listen to the do-s and dont-s, you'll be fine. At first I thought that it was hard, but after a while I found out some tips to do good in the exams. Learned a lot.

Many things I saw in high school chemistry. Thanks to my HS chemistry teacher, this class was very easy.

Regular studying is a must. Don't study regularly bad grade

Without her help in chemistry I wouldn't have been able to go to the nursing school. She cared about my success and my family.

I like her passion in the lectures - makes me think higher for my future. I think I can do it.

The course was tough, but so is getting in the med school. All of my courses this semester are tough.

The course is a tough one. Don't take it if you are not serious. Practice Canvas assignments, you should be fine. I'm a premed, will take her course again.

I am going to get a good grade on this one. Will take her class again, she is puts things in perspective and makes it easier to understand.

Out of 4 tests she makes the best score to be the 5th one. It helped my grade a lot since I had a bad test (had to miss classes). She also drops the lowest lab score, helped a lot since I was absent. Chemistry is hard, but you have to work at it. I learned a lot from the Canvas quizzes - many showed up in the tests. Will take her course again.

Very fair prof. I was very serious from the get go and so far doing A's and B's in the tests, quizzes, and labs. The powerpoint files are life savers. I think my transfer to BS in Nursing will put me in the list of top applicants.

Dr. Ali is awesome! But I can't express this enough, Studying is a must! She gives you all the answers between canvas quizzes and notes. Take your canvas quizzes unlimited times! Show up for class she grades you for attendance and gives extra credit! She helps you get the grade you want! She was my favorite! She rooted me on at graduation!

It was a summer class. Though the time was short, she had a lot of practice quizzes. Almost every one was happy with their grade.

Dr. Ali is a wonderful teacher. She is a very tough grader, I didn't forget my lone zeros and four significant figures after losing some points. Be prepared to put in some time on this class. She is great though goes over the material, will help if asked. She is also very funny if you understand her sense of humor. I wish I could take her more

Her class is difficult but as long as you show up and work hard it's a great class. She explains the material very well and I feel like I learned a lot from her.

Dr. Ali's class is one you have work for. She is an intelligent woman and definatly knows her material. Put in the effort and you'll pass. You HAVE to make time outside of class to study, otherwise you will fail. Her tests are similar to her quizzes. Make sure to study them. The text is not used in class, but make time to read/practice with it!!

If you have no chemistry background, the class is very difficult. Read the book, read the notes, do practice problems, etc. She emphasizes how much you need to study for this class, and she isn't exaggerating. You really must buckle down and study.

I learned so much from her! I am going to med school. Her teaching opened my eyes.

Very supportive prof. You end up learning a lot. Very smart and loves science. Lots of positive feedback when you show work.

Can't go wrong with this professor. Homework are from the textbook. Exam questions are very similar to homework. Quiz questions are used in the tests. This is my third course with her. I am getting to go to the nursing school.

Great teacher! I didn't have strong chemistry background coming into this class, but she made it easy and interesting by explaining in a way that makes chemistry fun! Must take this class serious, but overall it was great! I highly recommend this professor.

Opened my eyes about the how simple math can solve chemistry problems. I applied this trick in physics too. My confidence level went up. Thank you Dr. Ali.

She was an excellent instructor who really cares about the students and knows the material very well! The class was a face to face class and the structure was laid out perfectly. I would recommend her to everyone that needs this class.

Awesome experience. I followed all the suggestions, did all homework, and got the good grade. I will take her class again.

Dr. Ali is a smart woman. She has a passion for her subject. You must take time to practice the equations outside of class or else you will fail exams. She grades with partial credit and there is extra credit at times. If offered, take it! She wants you to do well and will do whatever she can to help you. You respect her, she will respect you.

Outstanding teaching, makes connection to application in real life. Highly recommend. Will take again for the next chem course.

Got a most of the extra credit by turning in assignments on time. I'm on nursing track and the good grade here helped me for the future goal. Will for sure take the next higher class with her again.

A very good human! She told me in person what doors open up for me if I work hard to win the exams, which is do all suggested problems and take all quizzes on time. I did and the exams were much easier than what I anticipated. Highly recommend her and pay visits during office hours.

Good professor. Do the suggested homework, a variation will show up in the test. Chemistry is not easy at any level of college course. Get additional help from online videos.

She helped me getting my confidence back. Reminded me how important family is and I should work hard for my family and my future. I am going to ask her to write a reference letter for my transfer school's program.

With COVID19 pandemic in the summer session of 2020, all events/meetings/assignments were online/virtual. Enough flexibility to complete the assignments on time. I just had to manage my time with a lot of planning, particularly, I had to work (essential worker) to get my good grade. I earned it, no bragging.

The course is a higher level one, but I maintained regular study practice and won a good grade. This will do good to me on my admission/application for nursing school.

Lecture videos were very good and explains all.

It is COVID-time, different style of learning. Course was completely online, non-mandatory zoom meetings explained questions. Listen to the lecture videos a couple of times and solve similar problems - you're ready to take the tests. Labs are online simulation (unlimited attempt), easy to tackle. I may end up with A+. Enrolling in her class again.

Entirely virtual class with prerecorded lectures of the chapter materials, online quizzes and tests. She had zoom meetings every week but attendance was optional. I didn't attend those meetings as I was a t work, but watched the recorded sessions at the link she posted. It was a good experience during the COVID time.

The lecture videos are online. Learn from there if you skip class. Attendance was non mandatory and gave extra credit point. It helped a lot. She dropped the lowest lab grade, helped me when I was absent due to sickness. A lot of quiz questions showed up in the test. The problems in test were very similar to the ones done in class.

I learned so much in this course, it will help me in my next science course and in the transfer institution.

I really only passed this class because I put in the extra time with tutoring and teaching myself. Not to say she's a bad instructor as she knows the material very well, but I found it hard to follow along at times. Very particular about work so I suggest showing it even if you know the answer. Very understanding person too as life happens

The course was a tough one for me since I am very week in math manipulation of the chemistry concepts.
