I had her for chem lab, so not too much teaching going on but she was always great about answering any and all of my questions throughout the lab time. She is super strict about being on time and using proper sig figs (as most chem profs are). Make sure to read the lab report BEFORE lab time--you can leave way earlier and finish faster that way

Professor Bingham teaches a great chem lab! She was 1000 times better to understand than the lecture. Attendance is graded, she gives lab quizzes every week and the exams are based on the labs you did. The professor and the TA are a great help and make sure that your labs are correct before you turn it in. 10/10 recommend taking her!

Professor Bingham was very nice and taught some very confusing subjects in lab very well. There are quizzes each week due before the day of your lab, and can be pretty hard sometimes when we haven't learned how to do it. Midterm is not too bad, but the final extremely difficult and specific. Definitely don't procrastinate

Lots of the other reviews are pretty accurate. Sometimes things can be confusing if the main class hasn't gone over it. Pre lab quizzes can take 10 mins to an hour. Be careful about units and sig figs.

I took Bingham for Chem 1 Lab and she was amazing. Before each lab she explains everything and is very helpful. The teaching assistants are also very kind and helpful. The pre-lab quizzes are fairly easy too and you can find the information in your lab packet. It's hard to not get a good grade in her class.

Professor Bingham is very down to earth and willing to help you understand the material as long as you ask. Attendance is mandatory and there is an online quiz prior to every lab. Her midterm and final are difficult so make sure you keep your previous labs to study.

Professor Bingham's lab is honestly really great. She doesn't have any leniency within doing the labs themselves, BUT she will-if you have good reason and are willing to talk to her- allow you to take an exam that you missed, especially if you are in good standing with her. She may seem harsh but give her some time, I loved her course.

She does not like to repeat herself. She is not very caring towards her students. Whenever I asked a question, she made me feel dumb, even when the TA did not know either.

She can be very stern when it comes to lab and being on time, but at this point that is every lab instructor in college. She is insanely helpful and is super willing to explain concepts in an easier way than even lecture. I would definitely recommend taking her.

She was an amazing Lab professor. Make sure you know your TA's names though; she likes to add a question on the midterm as extra credit about the TA's. Make sure you pick a good lab partner because you are with them all semester. Make sure you show up to class on time, she has a system for you to clock into class to make sure you are there on time

She is great about explaining how to complete the labs and also does a great job ensuring you know your background information. She teaches things in a digestible way, and as long as you come to lab every time and do your pre-lab quizzes you should be good!

Professor Bingham is straight to the point + informational. The lab is hard + she can be tough on grading (sig figs are important). There are quizzes before each lab, do them. The midterm + final are hard, don't procrastinate studying for them- they make up most of your grade. TAs weren't super helpful, but make sure to get to know them. Good luck!

I did well because I didn't miss labs, did all the work, and studied insanely hard for exams. It's doable, but I wouldn't take Prof. Bingham if you don't want to feel dumb when you ask questions, mess up, or don't understand material right away. She lacks patience and warmth, but she's very knowledgeable and to the point. Very picky grader as well!

Prof. Bingham isn't the most interesting woman in the world, but she was one I was happy with as my lab professor. With 12 labs and two exams, her class was decided upon those exams sadly. Regardless, her labs were set up and organized, with instructions nicely written on the board for those to refer to. Prepare ahead of time, and you'll be fine.

she was so sweet; she went every every single step before lab, and she answered any questions you had during lab, she would even go over your lab sheet before you turned it in to make sure it was okay. the exams aren't hard if you study all your lab reports before. She is very picky with sig figs, but she doesn't take many points off, only like 0.2

She was a great professor, and made the class really easy to get an A in. You really don't have to have the greatest understanding of the actual chemistry material and you should still be able to make a good grade in the class. 100% recommend.

At first this class was awesome and helped me understand chemistry more but when I asked her a question she would question what I was even doing pointed at my paper and said what is this? My lab partner and I before submitting our lab asked if our final percent was okay and she said yes then proceeded to take points off.

Prof. Bingham is super helpful, and the TA was too. But Prof. herself will answer any questions you have & point you in the right direction or tell you if something is wrong. But know that she is meticulous on grading, esp. on sig. figs, so ask before turning it in. Also helpful during office hours. STUDY FOR THE FINAL. 10x harder than the midterm.

she never helped during the labs. you'd ask her a question and she'd never tell you and would instead tell you how you should know how to do it yourself. she's so unhelpful even the TA would get confused on what prof expectations were.
