Dr. Jensen is a great professor. She is new to UGA, but definitely recommend her as a chem professor. Im planning on taking her again for chem 1211. The class is heavy on lectures, but if you do the practice worksheets and ask questions, youll do fine.

I had Dr. Jensen for 1210 CHEM after I dropped down from 1211. She was very different from my previous professor. She is one of UGA's last hopes for their CHEM department. I had her class during COVID, so it was mostly online, with one optional in-person problem-solving session. I would recommend doing all her assignments as well as readings!

She was very nice and she would explain any questions you have. During covid the class was mostly online but she posted lecture videos and she had office hours.

Out of all of the Chem professors, Professor Jensen is the best. She is always in a good mood and nice. Just show up and stay on top of ALL OF THE DUE DATES you will be fine. Highly recommend reading the textbook prior to class and actually participating and learning in class. This will make the stupidly hard tests A LOT easier.

Dr. Jensen is great but I found it difficult to keep up with her during lectures. She posts her slides before her lectures so going over those and taking notes before lectures can help with understanding the material. She is very kind, take her if you can!

Jensen isn't a bad professor by any means, but know that you NEED to put in work outside of class. Tests are extremely (and I mean they're insane) difficult, but if you put in the work you can get the grade you wish to receive. The final is a standardized exam which is slightly easier than the exams in class, but don't slack cuz every grade counts.

Dr. Jensen wrote the exams during Fall 2022, so she knew exactly what to teach. The CLA office hours on top of her own were very beneficial. The lectures were clear and the textbook was only $35.

Jensen was a good lecturer. The whole chem department does the same stuff so it really doesn't matter which professor you end up with. You have to put in the time outside of class to do well.

If your major does not require this class, do NOT take it. You will not learn chemistry; you will learn to memorize. There is a clicker, so attendance is mandatory.

Be prepared not to do well. This is not because Dr. Jensen herself is a bad professor, but because the UGA chem dept is not built with the students' best interest in mind.
