she is the greatest teacher ever! she's so caring and nice!! i dont know wat other ppl are talkin about!!! she's tuff, i have to say.. but she lays down the foundation for chem1b... chem 1b was much easier thanx to her.

She is a great prof. She explains things thoroughly before we do any work. She gives examples during lecture. She always answers your questions and if you need any help she makes herself available to help you. She is fair when it comes to grading. I recommend her alot esp. to whoever wants to learn.

explans lecture well,you'll learn lots of stuff from this class.quiz every day,3 FQ quiz,3 exams, and you have to write lots of notes from the board.will check your profolio for 2~3times,this for 10%.lots of thinks to learn.it is difficult in the beginning, but you'll find out it is very useful for your exam.fair grades.

Truttmann is very approachable and a great teacher with great explanatory skills.She is thorough and expects you to do your work and stay on task. She's very nice and her exams are easy if you do all your hw,and study on a regular basis. Its chemistry, you have to invest a lot of time, otherwise choose a social science major. Highly Recommended.

Janet is a very series person when it comes to teaching. If you go visit her in here office hours she will be extremely happy that you did that and might go that extra mile to help you out with difficult problems. If you have problems encountering people with attitude then dont take her because you might get the wrong impression

Seriously, it's a four unit class, so plan on doing homework and studying. For the most part, she's pretty easy going, teaches well, and makes sure-by consistingly asking if students have any questions- everybody gets the concepts before moving on. The only reason you'll find this class dificult is if you're lazy or just tend not to do well in chem

I think she is a pretty good teacher, I am really learning from her class. But you need to prepare to a lot of work from her class, especially the lab report. If you go to visit her or ask her question after class like office hour, she is really helpful and nice.

so organized that you'll become a more organized person after taking this class. ppl say she is hard, but she isnt, 'coz she explains stuff so well that you understand them really thoroughly. a lot of lab writeups, but the good things is as long as you do them the way she wants, you'll get a good score even you screw up the lab totally.

She is an awesome professor! I loved her class. I wasn't very interested in chemistry before I took this class, but now I love it. I didn't use the book hardly at all, but most people in the class did. She is very helpfull, as long as you ask questions.

This teacher is extremely hard. Her handouts are the best part about the class. They're very helpful and organized, but her exams are extremely difficult. I would not recommend this teacher if you're trying to get an A in this class. It's definitely possible, but unless you're very good at chem, I'd suggest looking into another professor.

I was overwhelmed with the comments at first. To be honest,she wasn't BAD at all! She's totally helpful,she always ask our class if we have questions. She gives us handouts which is REALLY reliable for students who doesn't have a book. She gave us donuts during review class/Finals. Took her during winter and got a C w/o studying. -tomi

what should I say! she is hard..like really hard..no extra credit.very very hard on grading..but , she is great at teaching. she knows all the stuff, makes everything understandable. I got an A in the class just because of the fact that I breathe chemistry. A lot of studying. If u r hardworking, then take her. if not, then forget of even getting C.

Had her for chem 10 lab and I must say, she is extremely helpful and very nice/approachable! Most of the class did well!

i had her for chem 10 lab and i really recommend her! :) she's a fun teacher and explains the lab procedures really! even better than my lecture prof! i recommend her

She's a great teacher. That pretty much sums it up. She's so easy to learn from, and I really reccommend her because of how thorough she is. The class will be hard if you don't apply yourself. She has mom eyes though and she sees everything, especially when people copy off eachother. Overall she's a great teacher and great person.

She is the toughest chemistry professor you will ever encounter! And very cold-hearted. She will convince you to change your major.

I never once opened the book. Just went to every class and a ton of office hours and studied her notes and went into the final with a 95%. She answers all your questions thoroughly. If you put in effort you can easily get an A. But the work is time consuming, so plan your term accordingly. But you can easily get an A with effort.

Easy prof. Taught you everything you need to know for the test, nothing more, nothing less. The test was everything on the handouts. Always responded to emails quickly. Very thorough when teaching. Very straightforward professor. No guess work. Definitely take her for chem 10.

Very Helpful but be ready to work! You will learn so much no matter what goal a student is pre-med, engineering, or science based she will get you ready. Always willing to help, and answers questions email or office hours dont let anyone tell you different.Great Professor with a heart of gold!

Take her if you are serious, a hardworker, and want to learn. She if flat out HARD. Lab reports and HW take at least 3 hours EACH and there are a LOT of them (and I mean a LOT). She is NOT an easy A, you will need to work HARD and GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS AND ASK FOR HELP. Book not required at all and don't DITCH all info is in lecture...GL I got a C

She is so nice. She will go out of her way to see if you are doing ok. Seriously the coolest professor at Mt. Sac. She lets you eat in class, and have your cell phone out. She is extremely easygoing. She does grade hard, but the material comes directly from her notes. Amazing, I will definitely take her for chem 51

Going into this class, I had read student's reviews about this teacher and knew I had my work cut out for me. This professor means business and she has high expectations from all her students. I honestly didn't think I would be able to get an A in her class because she likes things done a certain way but if I got an A, so can you! Just work hard!

Pros: Curves the exams if the average is low, fair grading, helpful lecture notes,friendly. Cons: Does not pregrade your hw. Does not print out the notes for you. Tips: Understanding labs are important for the exam. MasterinChem helps you to understand her lecture.Im currently 97% overall in her class.I spend ~5hrs/wk home inclduing writing report.

Class is difficult. you think you get it but you dont. Its frustrating because just a few mistakes on your test will make your test a C. Teacher is crystal clear though. I earned an A barely. I studied the study guide she gave out and the test the WHOLE DAY before finals. and pulled a last min A. So STRESsful. I thought i liked chemistry -_-

Very good teacher, definitely is there to help you when you need it, tough but fair grader. You will need to set aside some time to really study for this class. Mastering Chem was the most tedious part of this class. Overall, had a lot of fun and learned a lot!

Probably the only time I learned in any Chem class. Her exams are based all on the hw and lecture notes. That's literally all I used to study, plus office hours. And I got the highest grade on every exam without buying the book. Just understand the hw and lectures, and you will get an A. BUT she means business with lab reports.

Chemistry is hard. No matter what. But she was one of the best teachers I've had and this course is one of the hardest for intro chem. She made it very straightfwrd. Not condescending &patient..all good things with chem.Exams based off notes. Final shot in the dark. Based off understanding of entire class. Not other exams.Work hard and you'll pass

I would recommend taking her during a 16 week course. I took her during the winter and it was too much information in a short amount of time. Very little time to ruminate on work. She is very nice and will never make you feel less than a person if you mess up on a problem.

Professor Truttmann helped me to finally understand chemistry. This was my second time taking Gen. Chem. and I actually passed with a grade a lot higher than what I was expecting! First time I took it was at a university and with 400+ classmates, so there was not much attention individually. This class is so much better than the previous one I took

Available for help. Clear guidelines. Study for her tests. Passed with a B for winter session but worked for it.

GROUP WORK! Get ready for group work (really easy, answers are in the book). Exams are straight off the notes, NO MASTERING CHEM!!!! 15 problems a week for homework, gives printed notes and I did not even open the text book and got an A. Plus she curves all exams and the class at the end of the semester! Not a good 51 professor but amazing at 80!

When I was in highschool, I totally failed my AP Chem class. I was truly suprised how well I understood the material to the point where I even got a 99% on the cumulative final. She's an amazing Professor who knows her material well. She's organized and clearly explains. Hit her up with email for questions. Don't slack, it's your loss.

I took this course in Winter. She is very caring and patient. She explaines things very well and is always available for help. Put in your effor, you will get an A

Took her chem 10 class during winter and it was a breeze!!! She is very understanding and tries her best to help if you are confused. She also goes over how she wants the problems to be solved and how the answers should be written. Basically pay attention during lecture and memorize what is required to pass the class.

I took her for spring 2022 and i had such a good time in her class. Yes its rigorous but thats obvious because its chemistry. She does give students opportunities to understand certain topics as well. A lot of homework online. If you study and pay attention in class, youll get an A

Honestly, one of my favorite professors I've ever had. She doesn't have the warmest personality, but she is amazing at what she does. I was really terrified to take chem, as I thought I would really struggle. I understood the material very well from her, and I love that she gives you packets to take very detailed notes to study on. 10/10 recommend

Great professor, She is really trying to help you to get a good grade in class.

If you like chemistry very much, it is really helpful to choose this professor! Because you spend most of your time on chemistry and you will learn a lot. With her help, you will find that chemistry is a very rigorous subject.

Chemistry is a dense subject as it is, so don't expect to just breeze through the honors sequence. Professor Truttmann is highly knowledgeable and more than happy to guide you if you are lost. If you want to learn Chemistry in depth from a phenomenal teacher, enroll in this class. If you are looking for an easy A on your GE's, go elsewhere.

While the professor assigned a large number of assignments per week, they weren't overly complicated, but they did take a significant amount of time. If you're stuck on specific aspects of the lecture or on lab, she does answer your questions. Overall, she is caring when you ask for help and visit her office hours.

Professor Truttman's class is tough but manageable if you attend and study regularly. Her tests are challenging, with no multiple choice and full written work required. Lectures are clear, though her fill-in-the-blank handouts can hinder note-taking. She's kind and approachable. Tip: on the first day, find and sit near engaged peers for group work.
