101 is fine if you know basic chem. 102 is non- major organic, but since she got her masters in organic, she goes into a LOT of depth. The second semester requires lots of study of facts. She is not sympathetic if she knows she has taught the info!

The worst professor! Do not takeher she WILL fail you! She Teaches it like a Graduate level class, when it is only a 100 level class! My advice is to run as fast as you can!!!!!!!!!
Excellent instructor. Explains things thoroughly. She will not hesitate to help you if you put forth an effort in her class.

Understand how to do all the problems, if you don't, your screwed... Class is kind of boring- skipped a lot. She is very picky on things, and tests are hard STUDY!!
She is a great teacher. As long as you go to all of the classes and print out the notes, you will do fine. Make sure you do the questions in the study guide on each chapter becuase it really helped me.
She's a great teacher! Make sure that you practice on your own and read the chapters! The problem sets and tests are hard, but if you study everyday you'll do fine.
She's really cool and nice for the most part.
She does not want you to succeed in class. She finds pleasure in students' struggles. She gives a lot of tricky questions. She is the least sympathetic professor ever!
She constantly asks if there are any questions when there aren't any because she thinks people are talking when people are just dumb-founded and she ends up wasting more time. She makes the problem sets super hard but the multiple choice don't go along.
Had her for organic chem - THE BEST PROFESSOR IMAGINABLE! Wow, couldn't have had a better experience. Very empathic, considerate, knowledgable, and HOTT!
she is my advisor and old teacher she is pretty cute for a professor
very unclear
She is a nice teacher but kinda crazy...She memorizes our names. It wouldn't be that weird or crazy if there wasn't over 250 students in the class. How does she know our names??? Her tests are worded tricky but if you study you should do well. Other thatn that i have no issues with her.
She knows the students names b/c she is was not used to havin a big class 2 yrs ago, she trys to be very personable with her students which i give her props b/c most professors w/ that many students dont even try, so don't knock it.
Very nice and always available. Reviews are great. The subject is very hard, though, and she doesn't make it much easier. When you go to her office she linda makes you feel dumb cuz when you ask a queation she aska you a bunch of questions.
Mrs. Adamski is a wonderfully nice teacher. She will help anyone who needs it but don't have her for lab. The lab TAs are a lot more forgiving when it comes to grading because they are students themselves. My advice is GO TO LECTURE and the subject matter will be a lot more understandable and easy.
SHES A ****..BOTTOM LINE
Mrs. Adamski is a luke warm professor, she acts like and pretends she cares but then when u try to ask her a question after class she responds with an attitude and tells you to find it yourself. WHAT IS SHE THERE FOR?
very nice and hot. she doesn't look like she's married but she is. she is always available and the only way to pass her class is go to lectures and do good on tests.

Mrs. Adamski is actually a pretty good teacher. I enjoy her lecture because I find them quite informative. I think she talks in a way that is understandable, but at the same time, she doesn't talk to us like we are stupid. I just think she is an excellent teacher.
Difficult class if you don't come to lecture or study. She is willing to help you in any way possible so that you understand but she is also demanding a lot of time and energy from you. Have to take her again next semester.
Her class is not the easiest but if you study and go to class you should have no problem passing with a B or higher
JUST SAY NO!!!
Very hard class. I will probably get a C, and I am a senior who has never had a grade that low. She can be very nice, but this is very demanding and difficult, especially for an entry 100 level course. We get problem sets to do that are 25% of our grade. They always require an understanding beyond what we have from the material we have covered.
horriable
you must study for this class. if you study then you should be fine but if you don't then good luck. if you need any help just ask her, she is always there to help and returns your emails and phone calls very quickly.
SHes super nice as long as you study, attend class and pay attention. Just don't commit academic dishonesty and make sure to show respect and she'll love you as much as you'll love her!
Chemistry is a difficult subject, and Adamski does not make it any harder than it is. She offers extra credit and weekly reviews. The problem sets are hard, but the tests are very straight forward. I can't imagine having a chem teacher be any easier.

Mrs. Adamski is an alright teacher. She is very prompt and on time with returning emails and starting class. She's somewhat of a clear teacher, if you don't understand the main thing is not to let her get too far ahead, ask questions, go to Thursday study sessions, and do all the extra credit you can. Most importantly, strive for success.
I have seen her old exams. They are pretty hard. You really have to know your stuff!!I would avoid her If I could. She is very hot though!! 3chilli peppers for her!!
yeah shes a good teacher, i also give her 3 chilli peppers too she is pretty hot. but yeah as for teachign kinda tough but pretty good.
She gives extra credit. However, it doesn't help much. I took AP chem in high school and had a GREAT teacher who made learning chem fun. However, Adamski doesn't come close to fun. She makes chem much harder to understand. The only thing that helped me pass her class with a pretty good grade was my previous chem teacher from high school.
She is really tough if you've never had chem i don't think she would be good for you. I would recommend taking an equivalent class at TCC.
Mrs. Adamski is a great professor. She makes the subject very easy to understand and her tests are very easy if you study. She makes her tests and the class a lot easier than she could. She gives very clear and specific directions for each assignment. Thought chemistry would be hard, but with her it isnt. She's one of my favorite profs.
This women is ridiculously hard. I did GREAT in chem in high school and I get here and study my butt off to FAIL the mid-term. Her tests are hard, her class makes you want to sleep, and if you happen to miss a class and ask her a question she answered in that class, she SNAPS! GOOD LUCK!
Jennifer is a great professor. Her tests are a little difficult if you dont study. When she tells you to review daily, she means it.. you need to. She explains everything well and trys her best to make it fun. I would recommend her for a chem teacher.
i like her class and her class is very clear.You do have to study for her exam.if you study for exam, you can pass the class. if you don't do your own work, you will feel the exam is not easy.
class is hard, ncie lady, but not too clear. you really have to study to make an A though.
She is a good teacher. She is easy to understand. If you want an A you need to read the chapters in the book and work problems, but it is easy to pass if you dont. I learned alot from this class. Her class is not easy. Her test are sometimes really hard.
Mrs. Adamski is very clear on the material. If you have any questions she is more than willing to help. She wants you to do your best in the class. She offers extra credit opportunities up to 8 points total at the end of the semester. She always offers a review session each week, and as long as you pay attention in class it is easy.
Adamski was overall a great professor. She is very punctual, organized, and teaches so that everyone can understand. Unlike high school chemistry, Adamski shows students how chemistry will actually be useful and relate to their careers. The tests are not easy so don't even think about cramming the night before.
She is such a nice person. She is very thorough and understanding. If you dont study, you wont pass.. If you dont try, you wont pass. When it comes to asking questions she is a little blunt but over all shes a great professor. Go to the study review sessions! ASK QUESTIONS!
I just graduated with a 3.52. This chemistry class was so difficult for me. It was my first C grade (got a C+). If you have never had chemistry, I would highly recommend you take biology instead. I took three other science courses and did great. This course was very hard for a 100 level course.
she made everything so easy. Loads extra credit... she will only be helpful if you ask for it. She is a great teacher. I got an A.
She explains well but the test get more and ore confussing as the semester goes on. All in all a good teacher, offers a lot of extra credit.
Professor Adamski made Organic Chemistry interesting and not dreadful, as I thought it would be. Even her sticker club, despite its kiddishness, gave me a goal to strive for and acheive. Great professor. Do the homework problems and use office hours if you have questions, she is very helpful.
She grades incredibly hard on her labs. The only time I got an A I think I spent 4 hours on it. She didnt like me very much and was my advisor. When I would ask her a question she always act annoyed.
SHE IS A VERY HELPFUL TEACHER. STUDY THE NOTES, BOOK, AND ASK QUESTIONS. GET STUDY BUDDIES WHO ARE SERIOUS ABOUT GETTING an A in the class. Nursing and Dental Hygiene students DO YOUR BEST.
Didn't care for her teaching style or condescending attitude. She acted like we had nothing better to do then organic chemistry. Did not give appropriate homework problems that related to actual test material. The "worksheets" were a waste of time that I could have spent doing something else. Did not curve at all. Stay away!
Condescending, arrogant, and talks to students like they are 5 years old. Worksheets sucked, would have rather had owl homework assignments. If you take her advice and study everyday like I did it may help a little I mean I didn't fail, but there has to be some other way to pass this class. I put all others last to this one and still did horrible.
The notes were extremely easy to follow. I didn't buy the book, and my friends who read out of that instead of the notes she put up on blackboard did worse than I did. Its pretty basic chemistry, and she explains it well.
was the worst ever
I did not care for her. She spoke to you as if you were a child. "Everyone turn to your neighbor and say SHH!" I thought this was college!!!!
Very helpful
Great professor. Really enjoyed the class, learned alot and am looking foward to next semester. Put to rest alot of the O Chem horror stories I had heard before coming into the class. Very helpful both in class and during office hours. Overall one of the best Chem professors in the department by far.
She is a great teacher, im glad she is teaching lab.
Had her for Organic Chemistry. The material covered in the class is extremely difficult, but she manages to break it down into the simplest terms possible. I think she's a great teacher. You do have to study regularly to achieve decent grades on the exams.She will NOT CURVE test grades. I hope to take her for 313 in the future.

shes a good teacher i never looked at the book and understood the material well bc she makes good notes (which you should try to look over b4 class) was way easier then everyone had told me organic would be the tests weren't hard if you studied and knew the material well but work in groups for the prblm sets bc sum of them are a little difficult
organic is not bad.the textbook is actually really good.trust me.. but adamski's organic class is horrible... her class structure is a horrendous. problem sets are a nightmare since they are off the wall questions not found in any textbook.and i like to be a number in a large class.. not be known by name.. not your ordinary college orgo
great teacher, make sure you take notes in class, and attend each class
she's extremely bias, she only helps out people she likes, complains constantly about having bingo and her daughter's gymnastics meeting over the weekend. problems sets, which are supposed to be homework, constitute about 30 to 40 points on each exam, so if you mess that up, you will pretty much fail. one of the worst teachers I have ever had!!!
She tries hard, but the class is still horrible... Her "problem sets" are impossible to figure out which only lowers your already low test score. She puts stuff on the tests that she doesn't teach and isn't in the book. I studied constantly and had to withdraw after I failed the second test.
I really liked Adamski for organic, I took her for both 311-313. Going to lectures was a must for me and finding the right people to do problem sets with. I hardly ever opened the book, maybe just to do the problems in the back of the chapters, but her handouts are good enough to do well on her tests, which were not unreasonable whatsoever.
It really does matter who u have for organic.... organic itself if easy, and usually has a big curve but some profs make it a nitemare.. like problem sets which are totally useless and there is NO CURVE despite it being a 300 level chem class.. take poutsma if u can
Her tone is very condescending, and she wonders why people don't come see her at her office hours. Complains alot! Class is challenging but helps to study and do problems in book. Too much group work for a college course. I would say avoid her but she seems to be the only chem lecture prof this year so sorry. STUDY HARD and maybe you'll get a B
Class is extremely hard! Shes a great teacher and very clear but the material is hard to understand.
I can't stand this woman. She is extremely condescending.
Condescending.Problem sets are extremely hard.Her notes are simple and easy to understand but then you get the test and its like spanish. I've tried everything and don't know how to succeed in her class. Everyone i've talked to who has gotten a C or higher doesnt know what they did to to get that grade. Seems like you either have luck or you don't.
I really don't know why everyone is complaining. I got a B this semester after once taking Chem 101 with a the worst professor Pinky McCoy. Ugh! Please be glad that you had Ms. Adamski. I agree she is condescending, standoffish and complains alot. But she is very helpful and her class is designed to be like high school.
I took Chem bc i needed 1 yr of a science class for major i chose chem bc i enjoyed in hs Adamski puts everything online: notes, lectures vids attendance is not necesary bc the lectures r recorded on line but she does take attendance in CLICKER questions and those count for participation. she's a good teacher chem. is just hard i got a C-
She seems nice...but wait a week and u'll see that she's condescending and rude.Her problem sets are so hard, for me it was almost impossible to understand.And once you think you did well on a test you end up with a failing grade. I didn't find the notes helpful. Avoid this teacher if at all possible! She makes the class harder than it needs to be!
Although I got a B- I had to work EXTREMELY hard for that. I received straight A's in all my other classes and am a very strong student but her class will have to be your top priority if you want to get an A or B. I even had to pull an all nighter for the final just to make sure that I wouldn't get a bad grade. Be prepared to work very hard.
She never explained anything. she assumed that u got it when she taught it the first time. I gave up after awhile.
Yes it's a tough class but it's college science. if you really make an effort to study and go through the book and notes you should do fine. if not she's very willing to help out-just don't take her attitude personally. i liked chem better after taking this course
chem is a hard class in genereal adamski isnta bad teacher its just her teaching style is fast a alot crammed in one class period. if u need to jut take a science course i suggest u pic something easier...it's a lot of time and effort
Out of all my teachers, she has the sweetest outfits, too bad that that is not what counts in teaching. She is a very anal teacher. Not that hard if you attend classes and read the text before class. She is not that big of a help unless she actually sees you busting your butt. medium class, hard professor
organic chem is not that hard of a class and I've had her and Poutsma and both are good teachers but I preferred Adamski's teaching style alot more..I never looked at the book...just came to class..did the worksheets..studied a little and got a c..her problem sets were challenging at times but they helped me study for the tests and made u think
She is really nice. She expects alot out of you it is college science,shes not going to spoon feed you. She will tell you what you need to know. But in order to succeed you need to study, comprehend and then study again. Her teaching style is very to the point, uses study guides, connect work and power points.
Bad,bad,bad!!! When half of the class fails the exam, it is not them... it is the instructor. Nice person, bad teacher
Honestly shes not my favorite professor but shes not the worst. She honestly is a nice person but she has this way of making you feel really intimidated. Her class is really tough and requires attendance. The problem sets and tests will give you nightmares.
great
her tests are too hard, and pointless. she constantly goes off subjects and wastes people time.
This class is ridiculous. Mrs. Adamski teaches extremely easy but her test are REALLY hard. You can study everyday all day and still not manage to get a good grade. 4 tests, 4 problem sets, and final exam.
If you do not have to take her DONT. The information is easy to understand because she puts the notes on blackboard and goes over them during the lecture. BAD part though is that the tests are 10 times harder. I studied for days using course captures, notes, book, doing book problems and got a 62. And i have A's in all my other classes. Good Luck!
Teaches this INTROductory chemistry class like we're trying to major in chemistry or something. You get 4 problem sets in the semester that are EXTREMELY difficult.No curves at all. All of the class averages on exams have been in the 60s. She doesn't care whether her students succeed or not. I have all As & Bs yet I'm fighting for a D+ in her class
HORRIBLE entry level class! Would not recommend it because it is extremely hard to do well in. She acts as if the students want to major in chemistry & we're graduate students. Majority of the class is freshmen and she doesn't give any slack at all. Run as fast as you can!
She is the worst teacher i have ever had! She gets an attitude with everyone about every little thing. Do not take this class unless you plan to fail.
Very nice and helpful
She is doesn't care about you...its every man for himself.
Mrs. Adamski is the best chemistry teacher alive. She is nice, funny, and always willing to help. To all you idiots who wrote bad things about her, maybe you should stop and think, did I study 30min everyday, go to weekly review sessions, and not wait until the last minute to study for the test. You get no more out of something than what you put in
I agree with my friend below lol.. Mrs. Adamski is a GREAT teacher. Its all about how you apply yourself. There are more than enough resources out there to help with Chemistry even if you didnt like Mrs. Adamski's teaching styles. She is very dwn to earth nd always willing to help. In order to pass the class you must apply yourself.
Honestly you have to study everyday and bother her all the time if you want a good grade, which to me is honestly ridiculous for a class you will never need in real life. She makes things extremely difficult and is pretty lazy when it comes to helping you. She doesn't provide study guides or helpful hints as to what will be on tests. Tests are craz
I am lucky to have been able to have Mrs. Adamski as a chem professor. She is there when you need her and has taken the time from her daily schedrel to review with us on thursdays for who ever needed it. Her explainations in class were clear and even if you didnt understand what was going on during class, there was a course capture. THANK YOU so mu
I was taking this class and then I took the clep and I passed and I was so happy that I dropped the class and got my monies! Woohoo! :D
