Hattenhauer is a good prof, she explains things clearly, she's really friendly and she wants you to do good in her course. She gets a bit emotional sometimes when she talks about her kids and husband, but overall I'd recommend her as a prof.

Excellent Prof! She really makes sure you understand and will actually take the time to go over it again if we don't! She is really nice and friendly and do explain things pretty good! Definitelt recommend her foe chem!

Very nice woman, good prof. Notes are all online, but she does examples in class. Very enthusiastic about her subject.

Awesome teacher! Would recommend her to EVERYONE!

Shes a good teacher but her notes can get confusing. Go to the TUTORIALS thats your best bet. TIBER IS AWESOME!

A fair teacher- she uses a lot of examples, but she likes using calculation methods that are a little different than high school. You really need to go to the tutorials to make it completely clear.

Great Prof. She does lots of examples and asks if anyone does not understand.

Karen is the best chem prof out there! Her tests are long but she is a very fair marker. She cares about how you do and helps out as much as possible (appointments after class etc;). She explains everything to the fullest and is very thorough. GET THIS PROF!!

She was an ok prof, however I disliked the way she presented the material using fractions when she could have just used equations. However that was the method they used in the book so I guess thats why she did it. She's bestkind but if I hadn't have done chem in highschool I think I would have found that course a lot harder than it needed to be.

she is extremely helpful and is a very good professor.

Great teaching skills. Did a lot of useful examples. Tests were hit or miss. Some were difficult while others weren't. The final was simple though. The Tutorial instructors corrected my exams, and were particularly brutal, but Dr. Hattenhauer is a really nice woman, and excellent prof.

Very good prof, does lots of examples in class and explains things thoroughly.

Great woman! she drops the lowest mark for you which helped me get an A+ in the course, although i got 62 on one of the midterms...focus on learning the problems in this course because 99% of her tests are calculations. Talk to her in person, because she is very helpful.

I had her for 1010, 1011, and now 2210. She's a great prof, knows her stuff. Easy to talk to if you need help. In the first year courses, she tends to talk to you like children, but still great overall. Would definitely recommend!

I had this prof for 1010 and now 1011 and she is a really great prof! I would get her for all chemistry courses if I could. she is very helpful and nice. She really takes the time to explain things well and do examples! :)

If you took Chemistry in high school 1011 isn't hard at all, her lectures are a bit boring because she just reads off the slides but she does do a lot of good examples. If you go to class, read her notes and go to the tutorials its not hard to get an 80 in this course.

Really nice prof. The lectures were sometimes really boring, as she just read out slides, but she was really enthusiastic about Chem.

Does not deserve the constant bashing on this website. She's very nice and extremely helpful if you see her outside of class. She geniunely cares about how her students perform and is extremely passionate about chemistry. I would reccommend her. Also would like to note that she isn't the hard marker, the TAs are.

hattenhauer is a good prof! she's very enthusiastic about chemistry. i would recommend her to anyone.

Nice woman but I found the class very difficult to pay attention to as she mostly read off the slides which were not particularly interesting to me. I'm fairly ambivalent about her and despite not finding her awful, I'd like to try someone else for chemistry after 1011 (which is only taught by her next semester).

Tests, midterms, and labs were all super easy but final was brutal

she is a really good professor, she really knows what shes taking about. however she writes notes like there is no tomorrow, fairly hard to keep up but overall a great professor.

At first, didn't like her. After the semester went on, I found she explained everything very well and tried her best to teach. It wasn't all that interesting but she game A LOT of examples which was fantastic. Would recommend her.

Great prof! Very enthusiastic which keeps class fairly interesting. She gives a lot of examples and tests are fair. I would definitely recommend her!

Karen is very enthusiastic when she teaches which makes it easier to pay attention. She did a very good job at explaining some units but others I found the tutorials more helpful. She seems nice but every time I've seen her in the hall she looks kinda angry and intimidating. I wouldn't hesitate to take her again if it worked with my schedule.

She's one of the nicest people I've ever met and she's very enthusiastic about chemistry, so her lectures are rarely boring. Her tests are difficult, but certainly fair. She also really cares about the success of her students. Overall she's a great prof!

She's a great prof as long as you went to class and did the online assignments you should have no trouble with the course.Her midterms are easy enough most questions came from in class examples so write them down! you don't need the text book as much as she says you do, I only used mine three times in both 1010 and 1011

Dr. Hattenhauer was such a great prof! Lectures can sometimes get boring if you're not interested, and you get a weekly assignment but the assignments are online and they're easy to get an A on!

Karen is a fairly good prof. You do however HAVE to work to achieve a good grade in this course. Her teaching is a little dry but she will help you in any way she can if you ask her. Karen's midterms are extremely difficult but the final is a breeeeeze! Work hard and you will do great :)

Excellent class and prof! Clear, easy to understand and there for you if you need help. Would strongly recommend going to class so you don't miss much because she doesn't go back over things. Lots of examples!

best chem prof I've had!

She made this course so easy! I only went to class to write the tests. She posts all the notes online and there are tons of examples in the textbook that you can do for practice. She would post online before the test what was covered and would give so much away. Super nice and chill. Final was SO EASY. Tests were perfect length (we had 75 mins)

Hattenhauer was a good prof. I had her my first semester at MUN and she definitely helped me with my chem. She really cares for her students, and always makes sure you understand the material. If you talk in class, she will single you out until you stop. She gives extra credit if you ask for it, and expect web assignments and homework. Great prof!

Hattenhauer is a beautiful lady! She is very helpful and answers emails very quickly. She knows her stuff very well and tries to teach you the most effective ways to do problems. Will discuss her lecture notes very thoroughly but it becomes so monotone and boring that I find myself day dreaming. Lots of people don't come to class because of this.

Hattenhauer knows her content very well and she teaches very clearly. She teaches very fast and if you miss a class you're going to be behind. Tests are average and not a surprise, she kind of hints at what is going to be on it. If you don't attend lectures and study, you won't pass. Great at helping first years get into the groove of university

I know from hearing comments in class, that some people thought Dr. Hattenhauer was a tough marker but from personal experience, I thought she was great. I read the text book and followed her notes and I got close to 90's on both exams. Karen does an awesome job making complex ideas seem simple. Hands down I would take her course again

Great prof. Currently taking chem 2440 with her. She is very enthusiastic about chemsitry and thoroughly explains everything that is covered. She outlines what is expected and what is not. would totally reccomend

GO TO CLASS AND PARTICIPATE (IE DO THE EXAMPLES WITH HER). If you think you can just skim by this class by showing up to the midterms with just a little bit of practice you're wrong. Karen goes through all of the material in class and is super helpful but if you don't put in the effort you're on a sinking ship and need to prepare for your death.

Good prof! She does lots of examples in class which are great for studying :)

I really enjoyed Dr. Hattenhauer. By far the most articulate prof I've had at MUN, and seems to understand what she's teaching very well and explains things in a way that's easy to understand. Only complaints would be she's seldom available outside of class and there is A LOT of memorization of polyatomics, elements, etc., so be prepared.

Professor Hattenhauer is a great teacher! I would recommend her to any colleague who is interested in taking Chemistry 1010

Very expressive prof, pretty good overall.

She cares about her students and gives great lectures! She's very nice when you talk to her and her tests are not very difficult. I find she's a very generous marker! If you make small mistakes she doesn't seem to care as long as she thinks you understand the main concepts. The textbook questions are great to study before tests.

No assignments for this class so you MUST keep up by practicing questions from the book. Seriously. I didn't and I didn't do as good as I might have otherwise.

Karen is the best Chem prof I've had so far! She's lively during her lectures, which makes the concepts easier to take in and understand.

She's a great Prof, really knows what she's talking about! Her explanations are very clear and she seems to care about her students. The only thing is she doesn't post post-lecture notes so don't miss class.

Dr. Hattenhauer was the kindest prof I've had. She is so generous and caring over her students. She was like a mother figure, I absolutely adored her. The only complaint I would even dare to have is that her tests were extremely difficult. Nothing like we did in class. This could've been because this was her first year teaching the course though.

Dr. Hattenhauer was overall a great prof! Make sure to attend class, learning catalytic questions are used frequently and are incorporated into final grade. Very approachable outside the classroom and takes time to help you with anything you're stuck on. Very caring person.

Good prof. Lectures can be a bit off topic but she knows what she's talking about. Helpful to attend class. Midterms can be a bit tricky but the final was very fair to make up for it, only took about half the allotted time to complete. Would take again.

Honestly one of the best profs I have so far. She is really inspirational and her lectures are interesting. I got to understand many chemical concepts thanks to her as she explains them in a vivid way. She is also very friendly and ready to answer any questions.

Great prof for first year students.

She really cares about you doing well in the course and, even more than doing well, understanding the material. She always makes sure to be really clear about what is going to be on the exams.

Amazing prof. Really cares about her students and wants them to pass. Explains concepts really well to ensure that you understand whats going on. She made a hard course much easier and shes very kind and approachable, definitely would recommend.

I enjoy Karen's teaching style quite a lot. Her slides are very helpful and give you enough information that you can study them and be well prepared for midterms. Gives example problems in class. Fair marker and is obviously enthusiastic about chemistry, having had bad chem profs in the past she's been a breath of fresh air.

Karen is a sweetheart. Ive had her for both general chemistry courses and Ive never had a better learning experiences with her! She makes you work for your grade by making hard term tests BUT they prepare you for the final which is comparably easier then the tests. She also goes into great detail about material and is willing to help any student

Karen clearly cares about her students and wants to share her passion for chemistry with them. For the winter 2020 term, she did not use learning catalytics like in pervious terms. This is good because it allowed her to cover many more long answer examples in class. You must go to class as she does not post completed notes online; just powerpoints.

Great prof! I took Chem 1050 and 1051 with her, and got A+ in both! Would highly recommend to anyone, but be prepared to put in some work!

Lots and lots of assignments, however it gives lots of work to fall back on in case you do poorly on an exam or quiz. Her lectures are phenomenal and she is very good at responding to emails and answering questions. HIGHLY recommend. The assignments are quick except for the quizzes. Cannot recommend enough

She is so caring and explains the material very clearly. She gives fair tests and is very approachable. I would definitely recommend her!!

Dr. Hattenhauer was very passionate in her teachings, and truly wanted her students to succeed. Her lectures contained a lot of content, but most of it was fairly straight forward. She tended to use dimensional analysis to work out in problems in class, which I wasn't a fan of, but it wasn't the only way to solve the problems.

Clear instructions whats on the final exam. Shes a very fair grader, giving a generous amount of part marks for incorrect answers. Saying the course load is HEAVY would be an understatement, but not too difficult. Overall great prof, she wants the best and cares for her students. Lectures can often get dry bc shes passionate abt what shes teaching.

An absolute gem and is actually great at teaching! She actively teaches which makes it much easier to understand what is going on in the class and actually learn concepts. She always tries to teach things and do examples in ways that everyone can understand. Would highly recommend!

Does not answer emails often therefore difficult to reach outside of class. Gives plenty of extra practice mini assignments as well as is lenient with due dates for them. Very helpful in class and wants to help you succeed.

Great professor, she seemed very genuine and passionate about her lectures. There are assignments pretty much every weekend and online questions during the lectures, which make you go to class. On the other hand, it makes the midterms and final worth less. A fair amount of work but if you go to class and try you will succeed. Would 100% recommend.

Dr. Hattenhauer is SO passionate about chemistry which makes it super easy to learn from her. She doesn't move over concepts too quickly which helps with retention. She cares about her students success. Highly recommend her.

Participation and practice is required to pass. She gave many assignments online that acted as a good review and practice. Sometimes she moved fast in lecture and could be difficult to understand but she will always clarified if asked. A lot of course content but the evaluations were fair. Would recommend her for this course.

Very passionate prof who is clearly very knowledgeable of the course material. Mastering chem assignments were great for eval review and cannot stress enough how important it is to know the WHY behind formulas, rather than just knowing them. If you learn the theory, it all comes super easy which is great as the theory is well-explained in lecture.

Attendance required for 85% of the class to receive full marks for participation. Lectures were decent but very back and forth from topic to topic which made taking notes hard. Barely any examples were given which made some of the topics harder to understand. The final was super easy and based on all the easiest topics, midterms were decent.

Engaging lectures, but could use more practice examples. Mastering Chem assignments are great for review, and unstuck ai helped supplement the course material. Overall an interesting class, just requires consistent effort to succeed.

Very passionate about Chemistry. Her in person tests were quite difficult, but there are plenty of online assignments (in person and outside of classroom) that make up a lot of marks, so it kind of balances out. The final was very fair. Overall, I enjoyed having her, she made a 9AM lecture enjoyable, and she is very approachable.

Karen is very passionate about chemistry and is very engaging during class. She offered tutorials before exams and seems to enjoy teaching a lot, even at the first year level. Overall a W teacher for a very difficult course.

Karen is incredibly passionate and caring! Although I found her tests challenging, they prepare you well for the final, and she gives plenty of Mastering Chemistry assignments and Learning Catalytics to boost your grade. Make sure you stay on top of the material and understand the theory to do well :)

Make no mistake, Karen's class is not a free A. She expects you to put in the work, but she does it to prepare you for the final (which was very fair). She's very sweet and passionate during her lectures, but she focused on the theory more than the calculations, making her quizzes challenging (not a lot of examples to study)

She was overall a decent prof, nothing super good but nothing super bad either. Her quizzes/midterms were super long & difficult, but the final exam was pretty straight forward and fair. She also goes a bit fast but I believe thats just the pace of chem 1050/1051 course in general. Plenty of small assignments to up your grade. Overall pretty good!

She is an amazing prof. I had her for chem 1050 and she made the concepts easy to understand and explained them well! I genuinely enjoyed going to that class so much thanks to her. Her tests were challenging and hard but never bad and definitely helped me feel prepared for when the final exam came along!

Dr Hattenhauer was a very knowledgeable professor with a clear understanding of concepts. Term tests are difficult compared to other profs. Explains concepts too quickly in many instances. Easily accessible outside of class and a nice person. If you wish to move forward in chemistry, I would recommend Dr. Hattenhauer

Great professor. Her lectures were very engaging and informative. She does a very good job of explaining concepts and demonstrating how/why they work and how they relate to previous material. Thoroughly enjoyed this course.

Karen was pretty good. This is no free A. Her tests were difficult but if you do old practice exams and textbook questions you will find very similar questions on her tests. Her class extremely prepares you for the final as it is much easier compared to her complex tests. Overall a good teacher and is happy to explain when topics are misunderstood.

Professor Hattenhauer is very passionate about teaching chemistry, her tests are difficult but fair as long as you study enough. She does a good job at teaching the lecture content so that students understand and does plenty of examples in class.
