The tests will be challenging but don't blame her. She'll prepare you much better for the tests than any other chem professor but that does not guarantee an A. With a little effort, you should get through this class just fine. The material honestly isn't much of a step up from most HS chem classes.

GREAT TEACHER! I struggle in chemistry, but she was extremely helpful in trying to simplify the material. I ended up with a B. She is definitely willing to help. Take her if you can, her classes fill up quickly. She allows you to go to diff sections of her class. I had her at 8am but went to the 10am class.

Great teacher, she goes to great lengths to make sure everyone understands the material in class. The weekly homework online actually helps out a lot. The tests are kinda tough, but if you go to class regularly and ask questions when you don't understand (which we she very patient with), you'll get an A.

She is an awesome teacher. Chemistry is hard but she explains things really well and makes it so much easier. She is super sweet and helpful. You can tell she genuinely wants you to understand and do well. I'm excited because she is teaching 102 also.

KAREN IS A BOSS. seriously shes the best professor I have and the class is so incredibly easy. Got a 100 and 104 on the first two tests with minimum studying. Just go to class, pair with someone smart for the group quizzes, do the mastering chem, and mock exams and you'll get a garenteed A

Loved Pressprich She is so awesome! Very clear (sometimes she gets a little frazzled bc her notes aren't in order) I love that she didn't use powerpoint because then she never went through things too fast. A lot of people have trouble with the tests but if you put effort towards the online homework, do the mock and previous exams its not a problem

Professor P was an awesome teacher. Even though I was enrolled in her 8 am section, she let me attend her 1:15 class, which was pretty awesome. The class is an Easy A as long as you study, pay attention in class and do the mastering chem

I had her for 101 and 102. She is a great teacher and makes an effort to make sure everyone knows what is going on and answer all questions. She teaches the section for Chemistry Majors (I am one) and is always personable. Attendance isn't taken, but there is no make-up for weekly in-class quizzes (lowest 2 are dropped). Take from her if you can!

Dr.Pressprich is the best. She is extremely helpful, and generally a nice person. She makes tough concepts crystal clear and she has a sense of humor. This is a hard class, but with work I made an A. She is definitely the best chem professor available, and you should stop reading these reviews right no and sign up for her class. Seriously...

Does examples of concepts exactly as they will be given on the test. Simple teaching and allows you to come to any of her other sections if you cannot make it to yours. Has small quizzes, few points though, and the quiz questions are old test questions to prepare you for the real test. Allows for lots of questions in class. High passing rate.

Love love LOVE her. She saved my life. I never thought I would end up with an A in 101 and 102, but I did and it's because of Dr.P. Also, her class isn't totally boring like some. She keeps it interesting with her lame/awesome chemistry puns and weird stories about her life. TAKE HER! You won't be sorry.

Sweetest lady and very approachable. I put a lot of time into this course, but she was definitely a great professor. Group quizzes (get a good group) and mastering chemistry helped my grade a lot. I didn't use the textbook at all, just the access code which is required. She lets you attend any of her sections, which is awesome when you have 8 am

She is an amazing professor! I had her last semester and regret not having her for 1020. She explains things very well and is always willing to help students in any way possible. Another bonus is you can attend of her sections, so you can sometimes go earlier or sometimes later depending on the day. She is great! If you can get in her class,do!

Dr. Pressprich is amazing! In every class she goes step by step and tries to mainly teach you only things that would be on the test (I didn't take the majors class). Gives group quizzes on friday so attendance is mandatory then, but she drops your lowest. If you get a bad teacher and have time to attend her class, she won't mind!
