Once you really get to know this teacher, she is really as nice as you think. She always got mad b/c a student always corrected her. Also, once she makes a decision for something, she doesn't change it. Very uncaring when you're in time of need. Yes she taught well, but no heart!

She is a good teacher. This was an online course so you really have to rely on the book. If you need help (which I frequently did), go to her office hours and you'll get it and then some. Doesn't always respond to email but that is because Moraine's emails system literally eats them as spam. I would recommend her.

The worst professor you would take for Orgo. I heard many good things about her, but she contradicted everything I heard. I'd highly suggest taking Orgo somewhere else. She will not prepare you well for extremely unfair exams and then mentions how she is training you to be ready for standardized exams, which is not even close.

Prof C is awesome. I had her awhile back and was helping my sister choose classes for fall. She is a great prof who prepared me well for dental school and just finished my second year. Lectures are long, but she is funny. Ochem is hard, but she really helped me whenever I had questions. Take her, but you have to work to be successful.

This is an extremely harsh class and the professor does not take into consideration that students have other classes to study for as well. The average of Exam purposely low as Jeannine grades strictly. I would highly advise not to take her and note that most of other comments are by the Professor herself on here.

This class is so hard. She gave me 0s on all three labs I've done so far because she is extremely anal about the tiniest things. For example, I selected the wrong image for a lab, and instead of letting me know so I could simply change it or send her the correct picture, she gave me a 0. No response to my emails or anything. Overall she sucks. GGs.

Not an easy class, it's def. challenging but Dr. C tries to make it fun and helps us understand the concepts. I am preparing to take the MCAT and know that what I learn in the class will help me. I'd rather have a challenging class than an easy class that won't help me in the future. Good luck to all.

What an amazing, kind professor. She's a gem and she's a must for Orgo 1 and 2. Her exams are straightforward and she gives a breakdown on canvas (so you know what to study). She'll also show a preview of the exam so you don't get nervous. Exams are straightforward and have extra credit. Best teacher I've ever had, take her.

This professor is the reason I hate chemistry. Quizzes/Labs due every Sunday. The labs were impossible and you have to take pictures of every single thing for proof. Doesn't believe in partial credit, honor lock and very strict rules. Nothing makes sense and 90% of the class withdrew. Ask for help and she will respond a few days later.

This is one of the most strict grading professors that I have ever had. College costs money however this Professor does not understand and willing to fail people or even the entire class for not attaining her level of mastery of the subject. Yes she got 99% of the Chemistry section of the PCAT but this does not mean her teaching the subject well.

Professor Christensen is by far one of the best professors at Moraine Valley. She is super caring and willing to help you whenever you need it. She tells you exactly what you need to know when studying for the exams and is super funny. Just know that the content is not easy, but it's organic chemistry so you should be ready to put the work in.

Personality wise, she is really nice, treat her with respect and you'll get it back. The only issue with this class is 80% of the material is self taught like no joke you need to dedicate so much time studying. I felt that she was fair with grading, it's just the multiple choice that threw the grades off because you need to understand concepts.
