RUN AWAY! Never take her class. You'll feel like you're in HELL if you take her class. It's a SUPER boring class. She just read through slides really quick and doesn't teach that much. The worst professor I have ever met. 0% in helping students. Her quizzes are so hard and time consuming. She's so crazy about sig.figs. RUN AWAY WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

Loves her job so much that she go over the class time and tends to lecture slower even though time has run out. Purposely has clicker questions at the near end of class so you can't pack up. A weekly quiz is given on topics you will learn about the following week. So interested in her students that she eavesdrops on your conversation.

It is my first chemistry class. I choose her. She is a bad. I am going to drop her from my class scedual. She makes up chemistry problem. All the toughest are in the tests. In the class, she keeps reading some reducleous headlines from the slides. God luck in your quizzes and test.

Absolutely awful teacher. Goes on and on about her children's lives and then quizzes you on things she never taught you. I honestly do not know how she is still a teacher at this University. Do not take her, I really regret not taking AP Chemistry with my high school teacher who knew what she was doing, and was actually interested in helping me.

Literally the worst teacher I've ever had in my life. She can't explain anything she tries to teach in a lecture, not to mention she is one of those teachers who blows through the slides really fast and doesn't even put them on the class website. To top it all of when ever a student asks a question, she can not answer it. Like she doesn't know it.

She is absolute garbage. She is awful at teaching and we usually get behind in class . Don't ever take her class.

She is not good at teaching the material. Class is too awkward to ask because she yells "We should know this!" and doesn't go over it. The tutoring center she tells you to go to is two seniors who don't want to talk to you. Long hard online homework every Tuesday on material she hasn't taught you yet. Gross quiz every week with trick questions.

Janet is a really nice person outside of class, but in class she's not that helpful. Her quizzes are really hard so make sure you study super hard. idk man she's just an awful teacher 10/10 would not recommend.

It's hard to give Janet Schrenk this low of a rating because she is such a nice person. However, her class is extremely difficult and her quizzes do not correlate whatsoever with the homeworks. If you miss a class you'll fall so far behind. Honestly, if you get her try to switch out lmao.

Way to specific when grading, it is very unfair. She is not understanding of students and treats students as if we already know the material. Lots of homework outside of MasteringChemistry, she is the only chem2 teacher that gave outside assignments. Attending class matters. Quizzes tend to be extremely different from her examples and homework.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. I was a chem major and she is such a terrible teacher I had to change my major to something else. she is absolutely awful when it comes to teaching she will not help at all. I've only passed 1 of the 12 quizzes. if you want to learn you have to teach yourself. she's boring and the classes drag. save urself

if I could give her negative starts I would. she's terrible at teaching. walked away knowing nothing but the fact her husband lives in Africa. wow. don't take her flat out. you will most likely fail or pass with a low grade.

Shes just not great at explaining during her lectures and there is a ton of work.

She is the worst teacher i have ever had. Grades quizzes like she wants you to fail and cant teach. if you cant switch out of her class just wait, and take it the next semester.

PLEASE don't take her class. I had her for both Chemistry 1 and Chemistry 2, and overall she's a harsh grader, and doesn't seem to explain things well enough in class. Even if you feel like you know the material for her quizzes, you'll most likely get way worse than you expect. She's extremely specific when it comes to them.

Its difficult to give Prof. Schrenk such a horrible score due to how caring and sweet she is as a person. She was always available for questions and extra help but her difficulty of quizzes, homework, etc. will just lower your self esteem. I have for every quiz studied my hardest and put forth my best effort, and walked out with a sold D.

DO NOT DO NOT take schrenck's class. She will make you hate your life she gives way too much homework two 5 hour long every week on top of online homework there is written homework Schrenck is known to be one of the biggest weed out professors at UML. She will crush your hopes and dreams and on top of that make you feel stupid. Don't take her class

Starts "teaching" at 9:15 and the class ends at 9:15. She has something due every class though we haven't learned anything new, then expects to do very complicated examples for hw. We got a hw back and she said "You guys should have told me I haven't taught the subject at all yet". Well if she read the hw problems she would know. DO NOT TAKE HER.

Janet Schrenk is the worst instructor I have ever had in my life: rude and condescending, does not teach; simply displays a power point and flies through it with no explanations, assigns homework on topics we have never discussed, grades tests ridiculously/unfairly, always ends class late, simply does not care if we learn the material or not.

This is honestly the worst class I have ever taken. Professor Schrenk is nice I guess, but she can not teach. I have yet to learn a single thing in this class.

Expects students to be as advanced as her in chemistry. barely gives students a chance to understand the material. gives WAY too many homework assignments, weekly quizzes can be up to SIX PAGES. have other classes to take care of? too bad. you need to be an expert in chemistry to take this course with her.

AWFULThe worst professor I have had Gives WAY TOO MUCH HOMEWORK 100+ homework questions a week Homework is CONSTANTLY due. Doesn't care if you don't get the material. Is extremely boring 80% of students end up withdrawing. Does not care about you having other classes. Thinks everything is fine and dandy. You will regret taking her. 6 page "quizzes"

She gives a lot of homework. She is a tough grader yet her teaching methods are terrible. Don't take her.

The worst professor I have ever had. Doesnt try to explain topics that arent understood, instead makes them more confusing. Quizzes are worth 50% of your grade and they are more difficult than anything you learn in class. Takes points off for absolutely anything. Expect several hours of homework every week. If you can avoid taking this class!

So hard, do not take her class. Her quizzes are way harder than what you learn in class and you get points off if you don't write out you checking your answer on the quizzes. So much HW, stuff we haven't learned yet most of the times. I get all As and in this class I'm def gonna get a B at best. She's nice but not understanding/helpful in anyway.

Took her class for half a semester, ended up changing my major and withdrawing. My major wasn't even chemistry. Don't do it to yourself. Had a tutor who didn't even understand why she taught the way she did.

Janet is literally the worst teacher. Very nice lady, but gives out a lot of hw. She goes way into depth about unneccessary material and is almost impossible to ask her a question. You can ask her a question and you'll end up even more confused. Do me a solid and pick someone else. I got the worst luck with her...

Do not take any classes from this professor. I had medical issues during the semester and she did not bother to help me in any way. I showed up to her office hours and let her know in advance and she told me she wasnt there cause she was getting a coffee... She also talks about irrelevant topics in her class that is not helpful in anyway.

If you get to know her outside of class she's a kind, caring person. That's why it's so confusing that she puts no effort into teaching during class. We would show up to class and she would give us a problem to work on without showing us how to do it, and expect us to figure it out and teach each other in a group. You won't learn anything from her.

Save yourself the trouble and take the class at another uni. She assigns a boat load of homework and doesn't explain major topics well. She often asks for questions, but at that point the whole class is lost. Also, her exams are incredibly hard and no extra credit is given

Going to class and participating in the problem that is solved by the group is part of your grade, so do not miss any classes. Her quizzes were so difficult for no reason at all. She took points off for the smallest things and things that should not have points deducted for. Personally, I didn't like her and won't be taking her again.

Nothing resembles what she gives on the exams.

Worst professor I've ever taken. Truly deserves a 0/5, harder exams than quizzes, and you will have at least 5 different things due at different times throughout the day, and every day. I had a family emergency in the middle of the semester, and she didn't care. Went to office hours and told me to study a list of 150 compound 6 times a day.

Do not take this Professor, We were in an in person class and she was still zooming in to the smart board which was awful and instead of cutting us slack when we needed it, she would make things harder than necessary. ALL of the quizzes were super long and supposed to be completed in 50 minutes.

She is really nice, has a tough shell but overall very kind person. The issue is her class, she runs it as if chem is your only class with a workload that would only be manageable by constantly overworking yourself. Expect to not do well on quizzes unless you devote at least 5-6 hours to studying. If you are stuck with her, good luck and study hard

Does not teach much of the material, expects you to figure out how to do problems on the HW on your own. Tests every week.

Terrible. Expect to have ATLEAST 3-4 things due each week. "Teaches" the material as if you are a master in chemistry. Quizzes are almost all 5 pages long, and maybe 1 of the 10 questions on them reflect the lecture notes she gives. Also expect to be kept in class 5-10 minutes late every day. Don't take her class if you want to pass.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!! If you find yourself in her class, and you can drop it and wait another semester to get a better professor, do that instead. She doesn't tell you any of the important stuff and just expects you to know things. She assigns these massive assignments on blackboard and makes no announcement about them. STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!!!

Notoriously the worst chem prof at uml. Doesn't cover quiz material during lectures, so either you teach yourself the material and memorize the formulas or fail. Had Covid and didn't let me make up a quiz. A lot of homework, all on different platforms. Offers no extra credit or makeups even though the course is hard.

Was a straight A student until I took her class. She refuses to have any review days or take any time at all to review any material that people have questions on and says to come for office hours if clarification on topics are needed. If you are unable to go to office hours you're basically screwed.

I am honestly not sure why she became a professor. Homework that sometimes takes days at a time. Extremely rude and does not care about students wellbeing. Will actively work against the student. Unfortunately not exaggerating. You are better off not taking the class.

Take this class with ANYONE ELSE. Decided to take her for Chem 2 last spring after doing well in her Chem 1 class. One of the WORST decisions I've ever made! She was on Zoom for most of the semester, but we still had to show up in person in order to get attendance credit. Quizzes were NOTHING like the homework/lectures. She's rude and inaccessible.

The class workload was overwhelming, with tight deadlines and unclear expectations. Many students, myself included, found it challenging to balance the demands. Unfortunately, the collective sentiment echoes dissatisfaction, as the excessive workload overshadowed any potential enthusiasm for the subject matter.

the quizzes are nothing like the work or review not worth the effort to take her class don't do it

If you take this class please have a friend accompanying you because the amount of boredom and stress this class will bring you is palpable. Insanely tough grader, if you don't have the exact correct answers, don't expect full credit, or any credit for that matter.

Read all the reviews gave her the benefit of the doubt & chose her but I was wrong LISTEN to the reviews!! I had told her about my condition yet when I was sick & missed a test she didn't let me take it automatic 0. Her hw is due early mornings & only gives a day extension for late work. You get no credit if answers aren't exactly how she wants it.

She speeds through this course so good luck!

No other class comes close to the level of difficulty in this one. She expects students to treat her pre-req class as a full time job and is VERY inaccessible.

Workload is insane, no other chem classes are writing essays, only this class. She does too much and makes everything way more complicated than it needs to be.

This was the worst class I've taken thus far in college. Lectures are often dense and confusing, homework is even worse. Nothing connects either, the exams had material nothing like the homework, the homework looked nothing like the lectures, etc. take this class with ANYONE else. She has no care for students and holds class longer than it should.

I've never seen an entire class average below a 30 on a quiz like I did here. to me that's insane. if a majority of students taking the course with her are struggling, i'm sure we aren't the problem.

For the LOVE OF GOD, make sure you study if you really really want to put yourself through this awful class. She makes ZERO time to actually help you out, and if you ask, she barely explains it. Only way to pass is if you come everyday, and make a study group. Do that trust

She is a good Person should meet well, but she's not a good teacher.

She's nice, but not very good at teaching. She only reads off slides and isn't very helpful if you ask questions. She doesn't teach in a way that is easy to understand the material and makes things sound over complicated. Quizzes and tests are unrelated to the homework and isn't very helpful to study.

She makes me want to cry every day and I think she gets enjoyment out seeing her students suffer. If you have her switch out of her class or drop it. It is not worth it. Her class average on the quizzes was a 30 out of 100% she does not scale. So be ready you will see more than half of your class fail or drop out of her class.

Overall, she isn't a good professor. She wants to see you fail and explains chemistry in a very confusing way and expecting us to know organic chemistry in a chemistry 1 class. Her tests are not related at all with the topics learned, not recommended to take her.

If you took AP chem in hs you will probably be fine, and if you didn't... be prepared to make this class your whole life and dedicate all your time to it. If you miss even one class, you are cooked. However, it isn't the end of the world if you do have this teacher you just need to be dialed in and going to tutoring and review whenever possible.

Please, please do everything you can to not take a course with this professor. Unless you are an expert in chemistry, please know that you will be teaching yourself everything. Even if you study, you will probably do really bad on the quizzes.
