This professor is probably one of the best Chem professors I have ever had. She ACTUALLY has a sense of humor. Also, she does lots of in class demonstrations which makes it fun go to lecture. Her slides and lecture accompany the book very well. Her lectures clarify the confusing concepts and lectures very well. Her tests also seem very direct.

Dr. Bryant does an AMAZING job. I took her for Chem 162 spring quarter and she made what normally would have been a difficult, painful class engaging and very interesting. Tests are very straight forward, she will give you a list of practice problems that will likely show up on the exam. Take this professor if at all possible!

Awesome professor. Lectures were very good and she is hilarious. Test were very straight forward. If you have the chance, take chem with Dr. Bryant

Dr. Bryant is hilarious. I took 162 spring quarter, and I actually looked forward to her class. Once she threw candy at us when everyone started to zone a little bit. That said, reading the book is much more helpful than attending lecture. She pretty much spells out exactly what will be on the test the lecture before, so make sure you attend.

Her class had loads of jokes, demos, but an equal amount of actually useful material. At very few points during the class did I scramble to figure out a homework problem, a first at UW. Her tests were challenging, but she laid out what you needed to study beforehand.

Everyone who's left a comment so far is exactly right. She is one of the best professors I've ever had. Typically it's hard to pay attention to a large lecture chem class, but she made class fun and interesting. The only drawback is that the test averages were slightly higher than other chem classes, making it harder to score above the deviation.

Dr. Bryant is a TERRIFIC lecturer and one of the best professors I've had so far at UW. Her lectures are entertaining filled with jokes and demos. I can honestly say I looked forward to attending her class every week. However with that said, she has an odd grading scale. An 84% in the class equated to a 2.7. Just something to be aware of.

Bryant is great! She is a very enthusiastic and funny lecturer! The class is not too hard, the homework assignments are pretty easy but don't underestimate the difficulty level of the midterms and definitely study for them!

Prof. Bryant made chemistry very interesting. She gives you a heads-up on what to expect on exams, which is nice, but it doesn't make the exams any easier! It takes a lot of work to do well in this class! Compared to all the chem professors I've had in the past, Prof. Bryant is my favorite. :)

She tries to include interesting demonstrations and i feel like i learned a lot, even though i don't pay that much attention in class. I always knew what would be on the exams since she would tell us during lecture what we could expect. I think that it's easy to get a good grade if you attend lecture. She also records her lectures, which is helpful

She is a great lecturer. Highly recommend to anyone that wants to listen to her and gets the concepts clear. HOWEVER, the grading system will screw your GPA over since the average is really high. Overall, she's great, and be prepared for high competitions in this class.

Keeps lectures to the point and interesting. Uses many example problems to help students understand. I highly recommend Dr. Bryant to anyone!

I thought she was a great professor who was super into the topic and I really liked her. I just thought that the class was really hard. When taking chemistry I would highly recommend her. She's also really funny :)

I could not have asked for a better chem professor. She was enthusiastic and passionate and an all around wonderful lecturer. She did go through the slides quite quickly, but her explanation were thorough. To do well in her class YOU MUST PRACTICE PROBLEMS!! The tests are fair and worksheets are helpful.

She is clear in her explanations and if you missed something in lecture she has notes and even a video of the lectures on line. She seems to love teaching and was easy and interesting to listen to. Her tests were extremely fair and you can do really well on them if you study. By far the best chem professor for general chem.

Excellent teacher. Her power points are straight forward. You don't have to go to class if you don't want to. You can just look at her power points online and do the practice problems in the book. She explains clearly and slowly, gives tons of examples to make sure you're following and has tons of demos and applications. Fantastic teacher!

Really easy exams, you really only lose points when you don't read the question. You don't even have to attend lectures because she has screen cast and posts lecture notes online. Probably the easiest and most fun chemistry professor.

Best gen chem lecturer at UW. Just do practice problems to supplement knowledge prior to test. Textbook reading was fairly minimal because she's a great lecturer. As consequence, test averages were on the high side so you still need to work hard. Great in office hours.

Professor Bryant is an amazing instructor. She is both entertaining and knowledgeable in lecture. She posts lectures online so going to class isn't a must but when you do go you wont regret it. Best chem teacher in the department hands down. Only draw back is the curve tends to be high so really excelling in her class is difficult.

Proff Bryant is awesome and goes over everything in the lectures so it isn't really necessary to read the textbook. It was really nice because she specifically said what subject each question on the exam would be on so make sure you attend the few lectures before the exam. She's pretty interesting and I'll hopefully have her again for Chem 162.

Very awesome professor. If you take this class, you will worth your time.

Bryant is a professor that truly epitomizes the fairness of the class. Don't let her good ratings fool you into thinking this is an Easy-A course. The amount of work you put in is the amount you'll get as a final grade. It's a square deal and no one can argue with that.

One of the best professors at UW. She screencasts her lectures, makes it possible for you to have the old version of the book, tells you exactly whats going to be on the test, is very clear about what you need to know, and makes chemistry interesting. She clearly cares about her students.

Dr. Bryant is definitely a good professor. The class itself is pretty challenging, but Dr.Bryant makes it worthwhile. How hard you work is what your grade will be. Great Professor!

Very clear and concise in lecture. Exams are straightforward, you either know it or you don't. Study worksheets, do aleks assignments ahead of time along with end of chapter problems and you'll do well in this class. Grade reflects the amount of effort you put into the class.

Clear lectures, expectations, and guidelines. Do the homework and practice problems she gives, and you will do well.

Arguably the best chemistry teacher in the department.

Class was very hard and fast pace. You pretty much learn on your own. She kept introducing new topics even though there were barely any time to master current topics. Averages were 60s.

Best Teacher in the department

Great Prof hands down. Tries to convince everyone to become a chem major haha. Study hard for the tests, averages for my section were 70+%, final was hard, non comprehensive. Go to office hrs! What you put in is what you get. She also has a sense of humor!

Funny prof, one of the best chem prof! Study hard for tests and you'll do fine.

Very funny and interesting prof. Had fair exams and made great use of examples and demos, while tying them back to concepts introduced in lecture. Do textbook problems and all assigned work and you will do fine.

Wonderful lecturer and really approachable. Had her for two quarters of gen chem. Definitely do the readings and practice problems. Tests are very numbers based but fair.

Awesome chemistry professor. My favorite of all the chemistry teachers I've had thus far. She's funny, teaches really well, and helps you prepare for her exams by hinting on what exactly is going to be on them. Currently have her for CHEM 237 and the class is definitely much harder, but more interesting than the gen chem series. Highly recommend.

Love her positive attitude and jokes! She made hard concepts manageable and she really does all her can to help you succeed. Highly recommended!!

Best Chem/Ochem professor I've had at UW. She's so clear and makes lectures fun. Gives you every opportunity to succeed and actually cares about students' learning. Does not try to trick you on tests at all. Love her!!!

This is my third quarter with Bryant. She is hands down one of the best professors here at the UW. She genuinely cares about her students' learning and does all she can to help everyone understand concepts. Going to her lectures are fun and informative. Her tests are fair and averages tend to be higher than usual. Take her if you want to learn.

Had Bryant for 142 and 162, and it was great! Very exciting teacher who explains concepts clearly and makes Chemistry interesting and useful. She has a great sense of humor and is very clear with what you should be focusing on and gives practice problems, which if completed grantees a good grade! Also, She is HOT!! Should have a chili pepper! <3Her

Although Professor Bryant was a great teacher at the first half of organic chemistry, it is evident that she got lazy towards the end. I really enjoyed her class and she made ochem easy to learn, but the last 2 1/2 weeks of class seemed really crammed and she didn't teach it that well at all

One of the better OChem professors. Made some small jokes during lecture to keep everyone entertained. But yeah she got kinda lazy towards the second half of OChem. Average exam score was around the 60's while the class was curved to a 2.6 by the department. Biggest piece of advice to future students: is to not get behind. You will be screwed!!!!

Dr. Bryant gives really clear and organized lectures. Love that she uses slides and not the projector. First exam was what was expected. Questions on second exam and final exam especially were ridiculous and hard. I heard numerous people saying they had no idea how to do a lot of the problems.

One of the hardest class I've taken so far! Had her for general chem, and she seems to be better at teaching that stuff. She taught Ochem first time the previous fall quarter and went over the materials pretty fast. Make sure to find practice exams to do. Very personable professor though!

Had her for 162 and 237. One of my favorite profs at UW. Her tests are difficult, but do practice problems and you'll be fine. She tests how much learn, not memorize, which is how all chem tests should be. She is also hilarious and easy to talk to. Take her class if you can!

She is a very good professor and you should take her if you have the chance, although she tries extremely hard to be funny... which gets seriously annoying.

Her lectures are screencast and that is awesome. If you work hard, you can succeed. I didn't study much for the two midterms and got only a few points above average. I worked my butt of for the final and ended up with a 3.9. So don't give up if your grade doesn't seem too good in the beginning. Her lectures are very clear and well organized. If you study the lectures well, you don't need to read the book. I didn't really.

Very charismatic, and a great lecturer. Do not let this fool you- her tests are brutal. You can literally lose 4% of your grade for a single misplaced digit. She's great at explaining concepts, but if anything she's saying is news to you you're already WAY behind. I learned a lot, but this was the hardest I've ever worked for a class

BEST CHEM TEACHER EVER. I took AP Chem in HS, which was terrible. However, chem is currently my favorite class because she makes chem so easy to understand and learn. Needless to say, her tests are not easy, but definitely doable. I really wish she was teaching 152 next year.

Such a great professor!! Explains things in a way that make sense. Never had to read the textbook. Really prepares you so you know exactly what to expect on tests. Take chem with Bryant or else you're screwed.

Very good lecturer but as others have said, her tests are hard but with good preparation they are manageable. One of those teachers that has no desire to trick you on a test and has a desire for you to do well and understand the concepts of the class

She was a great lecturer. But the class itself is so hard! Its crazy how you can get such a low grade when you put in 20+ hours a week into just this one class. I did great at lab and in lecture, but I'm a bad test taker, so I got a pretty poor grade in the class. But Jasmine was so nice and genuinely interested in chem! Probs the best chem prof!

Such a great prof! She cares about her students and is actually interested in orgo. Her tests are difficult and tricky, but if you study hard for them, you can get a good grade. I would recommend tutoring or online resources like clutch prep to help with the tough concepts. Take her, but be prepared to work your butt off.

Great lectures, genuinely excited to be teaching students and has an awesome sense of humor that kept me interested even through the most repetitive material.

After going through the entire gen chem series, she was definitely the best professor I had out of the three classes. Actually, she was so much better than the other professors that I wish I had appreciated her more while I was in her class. Lectures were entertaining, she was really clear, and I enjoyed the class. Still hard though.

After the fiasco that was the UW Gen Chem series, I was surprised to find myself actually enjoying Chemistry in the intro O Chem class! Bryant expertly eases students into the O Chem puzzle-like way of thinking--I particularly enjoyed the use of model kits. Her tests were reasonable and actually fun (much to my surprise).

She is awesome. She is funny and really into chemistry. Everything you need to know you can get from lectures. she clarifies as she goes. O-chem is tough in general, but it was a lot easier thanks to her

One of my favorite professors at UW! She's really caring, interesting, and great at explaining. Really made ochem manageable. Really wish she was teaching 238!

Dr. Bryant is probably the best chemistry lecturer I've ever had at UW. She made OChem fun and easy to understand. Just attend the lectures and do lots of practice problems and you'll do great. One annoyance though is some questions on exams comes from brief hints she barely mentioned in lecture. Great professor. Highly recommend!!

She had very enjoyable lectures, where she laughed at her own jokes. It made going to lecture much more fun. Her tests were pretty easy, although they graded pretty harshly. Overall, she made ochem a little less crappy.

Probably the best professor I have had at UW. Very clear about what she wants you to know and how she will test you. Engaging in lectures and very well balanced between explaining the "why" and not overcomplicating things. Don't expect an easy A, but she gives you all the tools to do well.

Best professor in the department, the class was very organized. Would have liked to have had her for every single chem class, but sadly she only teaches 142237312. A must-have teacher in my opinion.

She is the best professor at UW, she could teach physics or something she doesn't even teach and I'd probably give her the same rating

Bryant is an incredible professor. She's taught the same classes so many times that she's extremely efficient and capable of teaching difficult topics. She provides plenty of practice worksheets, but keep in mind they're nothing like the exams. If you have her for 237, be prepared for a very difficult 1st exam. Average was 55. Best chem professor!

She has all the materials you need to do well available to you all the time. Super easy to follow along because all of her notes and explanations and panoptos are clearly available, online, and relevant.

Bryant was an amazing professor; she taught the subject super well and she was clear in her explanations. She does provide a lot of practice worksheets (one every week), though they are different from what is on the actual exams. Exams were quite difficult, so the averages tend to be low. Hard class, but you learn a lot!

I absolutely loved having Dr. Bryant for 237. Despite the first exam being tough, it was fair game from all her previous exams and lecture slides. I absolutely wish I had her for 238. She always is enthusiastic, is there for you during office hours, and genuinely wants you to learn the material. If you can take ANY of her classes, please do so.

Okay, so here's the deal. 142 is difficult. It's just like that bc it's a weed out class. But Bryant makes it the best it could possibly be. She's funny, and clear when explaining concepts. I was retaking this class and I had Carroll before her. I by far love Bryant much more. So sweet and understanding and very knowledgeable. Remember to study!

Bryant is amazing. She is funny and clear. Her class is very organized, which makes makes it easy to follow.

Dr. Bryant's lectures are great, and she's very patient with questions. She has an excellent sense of humor, and gets excited about demos.

She is one of the best chemistry teachers I've had, so it was great to have her for my first ochem class. She does tons of example problems which is very helpful and posts all the slides online. She also uses Panopto to record the lectures. Quizzes aren't too bad and homework is long but it's good practice. Study the reactions a ton!

Hard subject, but great professor. Really makes o-chem understandable. She seems like she loves her job. Clear, informative, and straightforward lectures. She makes note taking easy. Wish I could have her throughout the o-chem series.

Bryant is probably the best chemistry professor at UW. She is the most clear and easy to understand. Her tests are bearable and aren't absurdly long like most chem tests. You'll be able to finish in time FOR ONCE! I've heard she's incredible for chem237 too. She also posts Panoptos so you can skip class. She provides lists of all topics on the test

To be honest, I hate chemistry, but she motivated me to show up to an 8:30 chemistry class. She's really excited to be teaching, cracks jokes a lot, and has extremely clear lectures. Lectures had a very casual feel to them which was also nice.

Great prof

She made my first step into Organic Chemistry fun and motivating. Her lectures are very clear and her tests are not too hard (Clear expectation). She is funny, sweet and cares for her students.

She taught O Chem in a way that made it all make sense and seem effortless. She can always answer your questions and makes time for you and will add extra office hours just for you. She provides a clear and concise list of what will be on her tests. Tests are straight-forward. Best professor I've ever had. Would recommend her.

One of my favorite professors in UW. She is very clear in her explanations and made the material easy and interesting. Want to ace the class? Look through her lecture notes, do the worksheets, and study for weekly quizzes. Highly recommend taking her class if you can.

The subject is hard, but Bryant has clear lectures and provided us with old exams to study from, gave out weekly review worksheets, and gave us a list of topics we are expected to know on exams. She genuinely cares about your learning, and is very enthusiastic about organic chemistry.

She has to be one of the best professors on campus. She gives good notes and offers multiple explanations so that the students understand. She loves her job and is super passionate about chem, and it rubs off on you. While the subject is tough, she makes it bearable with her humor during lectures. I would take her class again if I could. I LOVE HER

She posts panopto recordings of her lectures and attendance is not mandatory. Her exams are not easy, but weekly worksheets and practice exams prepare you well. She also gives weekly quizzes, which we had to take in groups of 4 or 3. Exam reggae was always around 60% because you only get 45 minutes for the exam.

I honestly love Bryant's teaching. Chem 237 is by far my favorite class I have taken at UW. Anyone who love chem will also love Bryant. She is amazing.

Some other things I could not tag is "Gives good feedback", "Respected by Students", and " Amazing lectures". Heck yea I would love to have her as my professor again. She teaches things in so many different ways in class so that no matter how you learn something, you will conceptually understand what it happening. Read txtbook b4 or after lecture

Very good professor, clear explanations and uses technology to make her lectures more interesting and clear. She actually does calculations live in class rather than some professors that just read them off a powerpoint. However, she is terrible at making tests, tests either have an average of 90% or 67%, there is no room for error.

Amazing and fun lectures. Her exams are so easy so it's hard to stand out when the average is +88%. They have some curveballs though so be prepared. If 1 midterm is easy the other will be hard. But she tells you what's on them. Answers Qs in OH which are usually packed before exams. Panopto recordings don't always have audio so use carefully.

I'll definitely take her classes again. She makes me like Chemistry, which is a subject I hated with passion. Now I enjoy learning it more than ever. As long as you follow her notes and pay attention to lectures, you'll get the concepts very easily.

Professor Bryant is very organized and gives extremely clear lectures. She is very good at making you feel confident in the subject matter and also makes the material fun. I highly recommend her class for anyone who is afraid to take chem or anyone who loves chem.

The class was enjoyable and Prof. Bryant was incredibly kind, funny and you can tell she really enjoys her profession, she always in the best mood and happy to be teaching which is something I can say about few profs, and she makes you excited as well for class, but some questions on exams can throw you through a curve so really ask questions!!!!

After having teachers in high school who never explained material very well and left me feeling incapable of succeeding in science, I now feel confident in pursuing a STEM major thanks to Dr. Bryant. She is a wonderful professor who genuinely cares about her students, wants you to succeed, and is great at explaining. I definitely recommend her!

Prof Bryant is probably one of the best profs in the chem department. She makes lectures fun and the 90 minute lecture seems to last only 50. Worksheets are published at the end of every week to review, she's more than willing to move homework deadlines and writes her slides as she goes to keep up with student pace. Would take any class she teaches

Professor Bryant really cares about student learning. She's a extremely clear lecturer and definitely knows the subject material. Also, she tries really hard to relate to her students and is really funny. Also, extremely helpful during office hours.

She is very passionate about chemistry and her jokes are so bad they're good, especially the ones right before the exam. She's really patient when people ask questions during lecture and tries her best to explain them in different ways. Lectures can get a bit boring from time to time, but exams are pretty easy with high averages

She is engaging and makes the material fun and accessible. The first test is easy; it is primarily conceptual. The second midterm and the final are math-heavy. Her chemistry jokes are the best!

Believe me when you read this: she is probably the best organic chemistry teacher you will ever have (and general chem)! Her lectures are funny, engaging, structured, and super clear. Provides more than enough supplementary material. Always available office hours/appointment. She cares students. She will lay a great ochem foundation for you.

The best, engaging, inspirational, caring teacher for Ochem. She's very organized, introduces new topics clearly, engages with the class and is very funny. Her lectures are so clear, that I maybe looked for help in the book a handful of times. I wish she taught the whole Ochem series cause I'd be in her fan club. Take her class!!

Prof Bryant is the best if you really want to LEARN ochem. The hw is more a learning tool than a busywork grade, and the book is more supplemental than required. Lectures are informative and humorous, she provides TONS of extra resources and when that's not enough she's very helpful during office hours. I wish she taught the rest of the series!

She is funny, though not clear on every subject. In words, easy grader and the exams are so easy as well.

She's willing to work with you if you have a conflict or something going on but doesnt just hand you things which is one of the best traits in a professor. She teaches a pretty difficult course but makes lectures bearable. One of my favorite professors.

Dr. Bryant is the best professor I've ever had. She's funny and engaging, and her teaching style is incredibly accessible. Not once did I leave lecture feeling like I was missing something. Her tests are hardish, so study up if you want to beat the curve, but rest assured that Dr. Bryant will do her best to ensure everyone's success in the class.

Very good lecturer. Great at answering questions and motivating students. Although there's a lot of homework in the class it's very easy to get 100% on all the assignments. There are no past final exams to look at but if you go over all the extra material she hands out you're good to go. Didn't really need the book for her class so save your money!

I loved Professor Bryant! Lectures are clear and engaging. Wish I could have taken the entire organic chemistry series with her! Beware: her tests aren't super hard, so it's usually a pretty tough curve. I went to class and studied her lecture notes carefully and ended up with an A. Didn't open the textbook.

The best chemistry professor I've ever had! She explains concepts very clearly and is always open to questions. Her averages are higher than usual, which can hurt your score sometimes, but at least you learn the material well.

She is the best chemistry professor I have had. She made learning the material very easy. Reading is not required if you go to lectures and do homework.

Dr. Bryant is hands down one of the best professors at UW. She is so caring, funny, approachable, and fair. Her explanations are clear, and she makes the one and a half hour lectures entertaining. She will lay out a great foundation that will help you succeed in the successive organic chemistry courses.

Dr. Bryant is a very lively instructor. She makes a lot of jokes that lighten the mood and is willing to spend time listening to and answering questions during lecture. Because she teaches the material so well, test and class averages are usually high, so make sure you know your stuff to not be negatively affected by the curve

What a great lady. Truly cares about her students and is very understanding, especially amazing at explaining hard concepts outside of class if you're still confused. Material is hard but I wouldn't have wanted any other prof to teach it

Bryant is the best chem prof at UW. Exams are multiple choices, and she really knows what she is talking about. Always telling a joke before we start the exams to make us feel more relax.

Dr. Bryant is a gem. Her lectures were very clear and engaging. Exams were multiple choice and of reasonable difficulty. Unfortunately she will be moving to California in the summer to teach at another university, and whatever university that turns out to be is certainly very lucky.

Lectures and panopto posted on Canvas and previous exams posted online (great resource!)

Jazzy Bry is tied for the best professor Ive had. Lectures are helpful, and shes very clear as to which concepts will be the focus of tests. Going to her office hours is really useful and she wont give up on helping you until she can tell you understand the concept, which really show how much she cares. If you have the chance, TAKE HER CLASS

I absolutely love Prof. Bryant!!! I had her for 110 and then 142 the following quarter. Her exams are clear and test based on what she actually teaches in class. She does not aim to make her students fail even though chemistry 142 tends to have a &quot;weed out&quot; reputation. She instills in her students a love of chemistry.

She's a gem. Love her.
