At first I thought I would be able to get a's on the tests by just paying attention In class but that is not the case you have to pay attention in class take notes and then learn the module when you get home if you do that you will get an A. There is extra credit & the final is optional. I ended up with an A.

She is very organized and goes over every single detail you will need for the tests. Tests are 105 points + 10 extra points for doing the hw. That's 30 extra points (4 tests+homework)! I got over 100% for my grade. The final is optional. This class is A LOT of material and memorization. Many people failed, but that's just because they didn't study.

This class is EXTREMELY hard, no matter what professor you have. Every test is 108 points, so you can miss 4 questions and still get an A. There's also 10 points extra for PLTL. She explains everything thoroughly but you need to study on your own. She's always there to help during office hours or after class. She's very fair and I really liked her.

Really nice professor and good teacher. The class is hard, but 1046 is a hard class in general. Even with paying attention in class, you NEED to study on your own from the module book, and understand EVERY question in a given module. She gives extra credit on every test though as someone mentioned in an earlier review. Not a bad class overall.

Your grade is based on your tests. Final optional.

Final very easy too. Read the chapters and do the module questions as much as possible.

Her exams were tough. I would spend most of my days studying for her exams. I have never taken a chemistry class before and boy was it hard for me... I ended up dropping the class because she went too fast. She is a good teacher but I don't recommend her if you have never taken chemistry before. Her exams are mad hard.

Her tests are extremely hard. I ended up dropping her since I failed her first two tests and I would be in the lab for long hours. However, she does offer extra credit, homework and offers few points for PLTL. I passed CHM1045 with a B last semester but it doesn't compare to this class. On her first test about 85% of the class failed.

The material is challenging but she is very good at explaining and if you ask questions she will help you to understand. You definitely need to study and do the homework. She responds fairly quickly to emails and has prerecorded powerpoints with audio, which I found better than the book, which I barely even used the entire semester.

Dr. Diaz Consul was amazing! Super knowledgeable, actually a genius. You can tell she really cares about her students and she is super passionate. Take this class if you actually want to learn. It's difficult if you don't put in the work, but she gives you everything you need to succeed. She explains things in a very simple way. 10/10 recommend.

loved her. you will only pass if you put in the effort. this is the first class i've put actual effort to and i loved it. she was also always available for her office hours and you can tell she appreciates when students go. CHM1033 lecture def is harder than lab but take both w her she really ties them together and it helps on the test!

Prof. Julia, who I had for both lab and lecture, is very kind and really wants you to understand chemistry. The subject itself is extremely challenging—each test gets harder, so studying every day is essential. Don't even think about cheating; she watches like a hawk. She's a great professor, but chem demands full commitment all semester.

for a intro class, she made it way more complicated than it needed to be. she makes it a big deal to study for 4 hours minimum a day which at that point, i was self teaching for a class i was paying for. more than 65% of kids drop out of class by the half way mark which you can avoid by not taking her.

She's very kind and respectful. Exams are proctored, multiple choice, and 90% of your grade. She expects you to memorize quite a lot of information in very little time. The class is difficult and missing just one day or not understanding one topic, will already put you behind as everything taught/learned is cumulative. Expect to study a lot!

Ur grade is almost purely based off 4 exams multiple choice using scantron. Online homework given about once a week. You need to study A LOT, approx 12 hrs a week. this class is a lot of difficult material in a small amount of time. She's an okay professor

She was really good at explaining everything but is a harsh grader to where her exams are hard to achieve an A on. She does do partial credit but the exams seem easier than they actually are. I recommend her if you are there to learn and wouldn't be for someone trying to get an easy A. The experiments were fun though!
