She's one of the best chemistry profs i've had. She genuinely cares about her students and her lectures are really organized and engaging. I definately would take it with her again!

The prof is very clear and the course is not very difficult.

Best teacher ever. Best course ever. most interesting chemsitry course I ever had.

Absolutely love Dr. Fox. Amazing at explaining, extremely helpful in office hours, and very fair exams. I hope to have her in future years :)

Dr. Fox is probably the best chm1311 prof there is in the University of Ottawa. However, I don't like how she LOVES to include a lot of ' conversion factors ' in almost 80% of her questions. She DOES NOT use ANY chemistry formulas in class, which is hard if your usually used to using all those equations back in highschool. But overall, easy course.

She made me fall in LOVE with chemistry... I owe her one! YOUR AWESOME DR. FOX!!!!!!

Although I really dislike general chemistry, she made the semester tolerable. Her classes are really interesting, she's clear, very friendly, the weight of her midterms and finals aren't too heavy and she gives you a lot of other ways to raise your grade. She always answered my questions clearly. Definitely THE best chem prof.

Honestly one of my favourite profs of my first year. She is very sweet, rewards the students who actually put in the effort , and is a fair marker. There really shouldn't be a reason not to do well in her class if you actually do the work, the resources are all there for you to do well.

A great lecturer, teaches everything very clearly but sometimes can be a little slow in simple concepts. She posts a bunch of past midterms and finals, all with full solutions, making it very easy to study the material. Overall she is very nice and very helpful!

Great prof. If you struggle with the content there are a million opportunities for help.

Really nice and helpful prof, just wasn't a fan of her teaching methods. One of the big downsides of being in her class is having class in the UCU. Best prof for CHM 1311, but harder midterms and finals. Do everything she says and you should get a good mark.

Great prof! Explains new concepts very clearly and very slowly (a little too slowly, sometimes which is fine). Course content is relatively hard but she posts a lot of past midterms and exams and most of the exam questions are questions she has already done in dgds or previous evaluations.

Past midterms and exams are a complete blessing as a good portion of her exams are composed of past problems or similar to those. She is clear with expectations posed in class. Although, she can go too fast with difficult concepts and can spend too much time clarifying simple concepts. Sapling assignments are an absolute must as they are a booster.

Everything explained very clearly in class. Lots of opportunities to practise with the online assignments and in-class quizzes, and optional (tricky) practise problems. I enjoyed the lectures. Dr. Fox is also great to talk to in office hours about research and chemistry in general.

Very clear in her teaching! She gave a lot of her in in DGD's and answered any and all questions asked!

Awesome teacher even if I hated chem!

Do sapling assignments, take good notes and do her old test questions. 90% of her midterms and exam are questions you've done in class, in assignments are she assigned you in the textbook. So if you do your work this course will be an easy A+! Also she is a very fair marker, and will regrade your midterms (she gave me back many marks). Enjoy CHM!

Amazing prof! Loved her so much. She gives great examples, and lots of them. Her DGD's were very useful, especially around midterm time. And her weekly Sapling Assignments really helped throughout the whole semester. Strongly recommend for 1st year gen chem!!

Harder exams than other profs but they are very fair. Everything on the exam are things that were seen in class, dgds, and assignments. In comparison with gr 12 chemistry, gr 12 chemistry was harder than this course and gr 12 chemistry had way more material then this course.

Dr. Fox is truly amazing. She cares about the students success and understands that the transition from high school to uni is tough. She is passionate about chemistry which makes lectures more interesting and is always ready to help. Loved the class!

AMAZING PROFESSOR! Took Org I with her and she made me love it. The content is tough but she breaks it down well. Her midterms and final are really fair. Half the questions on this year's final were pretty much taken from last year's. If you listen in lectures and take notes, do her practice problem sets and watch her DGDs, you'll do well.

Dr. Fox was a very good lecturer and the only real downside was how fast she talks. Her past exams are super helpful - take this class if you have the chance.

MUST TAKE Dr. Fox for CHM1311! If you work hard, you get the grade! "Lecture tools" and "Sapling" give you so many free marks. Assignments are easy. Go to her DGD! She gives excellent notes and examples. Arguably, some of her tests are tough, but she prepares you tenfold for the final. She's AMAZING. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Great prof. Classes are FUN! I just followed along with slides on my laptop and wrote class problems down in a notebook. Do not opt out of Sapling. Go to Kathy's DGDs, even if they aren't your DGDs!!! Make yourself a clear list of all reactions learned that you can update throughout the semester to keep the info organized in your head.

Gen them with Dr. Fox was much easier. Content is tougher for Chm1321, I'll give you that. You have to work your butt off to get a good grade. "Lecture tools" and "Sapling" were life savers for me, as well as the lab portion. MUST WATCH her DGD podcasts. ASK questions, don't hesitate! Dr. Fox is a good prof for any course - just work for it!!

The class is basically a review of grade 12 chemistry, very few new concepts. Does lots of examples in class and in DGDs and tests reuse these questions or are very similar to them. Questions from past exams get recycled, so make sure to look over the ones she posts. Really nice and is always there to answer questions for you.

Expect to need to do a lot of work. Consists mostly of memorizing mechanisms. Lectures are almost all just drawing mechanisms that you will need to know for the exams. It can be pretty tricky to apply the mechanisms shown in class to the exam questions. It was hard to apply the examples of the reactions to other molecules. Sapling is a life saver.

Amazing lectures, does plenty of examples, explains concepts very clearly. DO OLD MIDTERMS AND EXAMS! GO TO HER DGDs! She takes questions directly from there for midterms and all her midterms are the same every year. Just do the work and you'll get an easy A.

Awful pacing. She spent so much time on photochem (not very useful) then realized she ran out of time and just did the rest of the material in 3 classes, which was actually useful content and was more difficult. Not enough time on exams so she could fit the BS 2-stage partner exam in. Took 4 weeks to mark exams. She is friendly and good lectur tho

Great prof, she's really nice and makes the course fun. Midterms and exams are fair, no surprises.

Anyone who complains about her course has not maximised their use of resources. All her exam questions are taken from sapling (weekly online homework assignments) past exams (which she posts to her website WITH SOLUTIONS) AND DGDs (she posts the recordings on echo360). Do textbook questions and don't opt out of sapling. Go to office hours for help

She cares about the students and does a lot of examples step-by-step in class. She also posts podcasts of her lectures and DGD through Echo360. There is an assignment every week on sapling (you have to pay for the program) and they aren't that difficult (and decrease the worth of your midterms). Do the suggested problems from the text book.

Love this prof- her DGDs were great, lectures were clear and she is always willing to assist students. I never got bored in her class! DO THE OLD EXAMS/MIDTERMS, she recycles Qs!! Do the Sapling, it's a great way to raise your mark. Downside: exam questions are harder than the ones done in class. Midterms were fair, final was pretty tough.

During class she works on problems like most profs. However she writes them out very clearly and makes the solutions very easy to understand. You get free marks for just showing up to class and the midterms are practically the same as practice ones she gives you

I loved Dr. Fox! She is very clear and goes through solutions step by step in her lectures, so you have amazing notes for studying later! Lecture Tools and Sapling are also just really easy ways to boost your grade. She also posts old midterms and exams for you to use as study tools (DO THEM!!! She tends to recycle questions!)

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Very into her job and seems to genuinely love what she does. Is very upbeat throughout her lectures and definitely creates a positive class atmosphere. Having difficulty with the material? Visit her office hours-She goes above and beyond to effectively explain and answer student questions. DO OLD MIDTERMS/EXAMS!!!!!!

My third course with her and she lived up to her usual awesomeness. Fantastic lectures, super useful in office hours, and gave the option for extra credit. Exams were fair but definitely not easy. Content was very interesting.

Definitely the prof you want for gen chem! Good lecturer, helpful during office hours. Sapling and participation is essentially 15 free marks (if you put in the effort that is) and can be life savers. Midterms/final can be tough, but she reuses many questions from previous exams.

She is a great prof, will definitely help you if you need it. She is not out to punish students, she truly cares about us and our survival... If you're not the best at chemistry, or you want enjoyable yet educational classes, she's perfect.

Dr. Fox is great at teaching! Put the effort into the course and you'll get an A. She takes all her test questions from old material/the textbook. She gives tons of bonus marks on homework and easy participation marks! Would take again! She's super willingly to help and great at conveying the material.

Participation and labs really boost your marks, but if you fully do the old midterms and final exams you will do fine because a majority of the questions are reused. Really lovely gal and very good lecturer, highly recommend.

One of the best professors for the first year courses!

She is amazing, so inspirational during lectures, clear explanation and the class is so enjoyable. BUT Hard Exams! beware..

Provides step-by-step explanations on how to do mechanisms for Orgo I. Exams reflect what is covered in lectures and DGDs. DGDs are super helpful for review and new question types that are not covered in class but could be on exam. Posts previous midterms with answers, podcasts, and extra questions.

Tough course, but she's excellent as a prof. Very funny and kind, and has very clear lectures. Take good notes, review your notes, do her practice questions that she posts on blackboard, and do her old practice midterms/exams (exams are very similar to these, to the questions, and to dgd/textbook questions) and attend/watch her DGDs.

Hands down the best prof I had in first year. Took her for org1 too. Super nice, makes the lectures as fun as possible, and gives lots of opportunities to increase your mark (assignments, attendance, etc.). Her notes are organized and easy to study off of. Be sure to use questions from assignments and notes to study - she reuses them on exams.

My favourite professor. Passionate, intelligent and inspirational Dr. Fox will keep you interested and excited for her lectures and material. Her lectures are detailed, easy to follow, lots of examples and prepares you well for the exam. Never needed the textbook once, her lectures were recorded and she gave lots of direction in her DGD's she runs.

Professor Kathy is simply AMAZING!.. It is obvious that she knows what she teaches, she explains the topic so well and records all the classes including her DGDs and posts them on blackboard so one advantage is that you can skip class all semester but you would loose 5% for participation though.

Couldn't have been happier with a first year chemistry prof! Her lectures are so clear and engaging, midterms and finals are extremely easy (exactly the same as old versions that she posts)! We also had the two stage testing this year which hooded marks significantly. Overall an awesome course with an awesome prof!

Hands down the best prof you could get for first year chem. most of the content was a review of high school so if you're confident in that you'll be fine. Almost all midterm/final questions are taken from previous tests and she posted them all including solutions!!! She's also super friendly and down to earth. Go Dr Fox!!!

Best prof I had in my first semester of uni. If you need to take gen chem then take this prof!! She makes it very clear what you need to know and gives great examples for everything. She posts all her old midterms and exams which are great for studying (she recycles questions) and there is always partial points given on the tests which helps alot.

She is by far my favorite professor so far. She is hilarious and she tries very hard to make sure everyone gets the best possible mark in the course.

Dr. Fox is my favourite professor at the University of Ottawa. She is good at lecturing and always goes through problems step by step in class. Her DGD is really helpful, although not mandatory. Midterms and exams are very fair, she recycles questions from class and previous years. In-class participation is worth 5% of the grade, so go to class.

Dr. Fox is an awesome professor to have first year! Hey lectures are clear and engaging and she truly cares about students. The midterms and finals are all based off of old finals (that she posts on blackboard) so as long as you study those, its an easy A. Homework boosts marks but is quite tricky and textbook use is extremely minimal!

Dr. Fox is the absolute best! Funny, caring, and explains things really well. You have to work for your grade, but she will gladly help you in any way she can. If you do all her old midterms and exams, you'll ace them- she reuses a lot of old questions.

Good prof, interesting lecturer, midterms and assignments are fair and easy to prepare for if you do the homework and look over the old midterms and exams. Fun to go to the lectures and worth it. Made chemistry bearable.

She is very good at explaining concepts and is very knowledgeable, but her lectures do not quite explain everything you need to know for tests and assignments. I opted in for online hwk and it was hard to do because lack of content in lectures. Attend the DGDs for answers though. Tests and midterms were average, wasn't too hard and wasn't too easy.

Absolutely in love with Fox! She made everything seem super easy and really clear. Definitely would recommend her for gen chem because she does two-stage exams and it's almost guaranteed that it'll bring your mark up 5-10%.

Dr. Fox was very charming and had great lectures. The midterms were not too difficult, but the final exam was very challenging. Make sure you go to class because attendance is worth 5%.

Really enjoyed her as a prof, coming from someone who definitely does not enjoy chemistry. Her two-stage marking for midterms were pretty nice, helped out my grades a little bit. You need to put in the work to do well in this class, but as a prof she definitely makes it seem manageable and is very helpful and supportive!

Great prof! Her explanations are simplified and make a lot of sense. Provides lots of opportunities to improve grade. Very helpful and easily approachable, is willing to sit down and explain. Exams are very fair, many of the questions are from previous exams, textbook questions , online homework assignments and DGD questions.

Midterms are hard but fair, she provides previous years midterms but they offer little help, you can do well make sure you study the lectures and the DGD's. My only problem with the course is the final. It was outrageously long and the questions had no similarity to anything seen in the midterm or course. All around good prof though.

Best prof I've ever had. I hated chemistry before her class. She simplifies and explains concepts so well , and is the only prof I've had so far that truly cares about her students and tries to make herself available as much as possible for extra help. If you attend class and do the assignments, you'll have no issues in any course she's teaching!

Department of chemistry never ceases to fail in uOttawa (take notes bio department). Fox is another solid chem prof. 1st midterm is easy, 2nd is harder. Lots of easy marks from participation, labs and homework. It's actually pretty easy if you put some effort. Study her past exams because she pulls A LOT of content from them for current exams

She is a good prof,go to class participation counts and its worth it go to her office hours with questions!!practice her previous midterms, practice problem sets, sapling assignment and questions from the book because she reuses questions a lot!! dont get discouraged by a bad grade, she adds 5% worth to the best grade and removes 5% from the worst

Dr. Fox is a great professor, very clear with her explanations. She also provides lots of practice questions with answers to better your understanding of the material. But PRACTICE! She likes to make her midterms and finals tricky. Also, don't memorize the reactions, understand them.

This course is hard but Dr Fox helps. Her lectures are really well organized and recorded on echo360 which allows you to rewatch them. Attendance is mandatory and verified. Do the practise exams because the actual exams are very similar. Great prof but tough grader.

For everyone saying Dr. Fox is a tough grader, ask anyone in other sections how they succeeded in their next chemistry courses. Dr. Fox might make you work for your grade but it definitely pays off both on her midterms, finals and future classes. She is by far my favourite professor and she deserves a lot more credit for how amazing she is.

Idk why people are complaining that her exams are hard. she reuses old midterms and exams. Just do the sapling homework and memorize past exams. If you know how to answer the questions from past exams you are golden, cause the concepts are the same. Put in the work, an A is a guarantee.

The midterms were rather easy, or rather the marking wasn't tough. Lectures aren't a huge deal, and all the slide are online so it's easy to catch up. I'd take extra credit, if you know what I mean.

Dr. Fox is an amazing prof. Her lectures are very well structured and she makes difficult concepts easy to understand. Prior to taking her course, I had heard her tests were very difficult but I didn't find this to be the case. Show up, take notes, and you'll do great. Easily one of the best profs I've ever had.

Good prof, explains concepts pretty well and the assessments were all pretty fair (1 quiz, 2 midterms, and final exam). Lots of opportunities to get a good mark because she does participation marks and has optional assignments which take weighting off of the midterms. Very nice, passionate, and wants her students to succeed.

Clearly explains and provides analogies, does practice problems in class. The Echo360 questions (in class) motivate you to go to class (it's worth 5%) and forces you to practice. Lecture recordings are easily accessible and extremely useful. Sapling questions can be hard, but an easy 10% (can get a 10/10 on sapling because of the bonus questions).

This class is super easy if u took high school chem, its the exact same thing. Dr. Fox is really great at explaning things and makes the material very clear. If you have trouble with chem, taker her. Her midterms are based off her old ones that she posts. Final was harder than the midterms but overall shes v fair! dont do sappling if u buy the book

Dr. Fox is an amazing prof. She's easily one of the best lecturers at the entire university. Contrary to some other reviews I've read, I didn't find her to be a very tough grader. She's great at taking more difficult concepts and wording them in a way that makes it easy to understand. The final exam was much easier than other sections too. A+ PROF!

She's very nice and cares about her students but she makes the course much harder than it needs to be! She spends more time explaining theory you don't need to know rather than doing examples of questions you do need to know. You don't need to attend class- attend DGDs and do the practice questions and do old midterms and exams to pass.

Definitely one of the better profs at uOttawa. She makes her lectures very engaging and enjoyable with her jokes and chill attitude. Yes, her exams are quite hard but if you work through the old exams that she posts then you should be A-okay. You're gonna have to work hard to get a good grade :)

I LOVE HER!!! THANKS DR. FOX :) Although, I will admit this course is VERY content heavy and you need to be ready to learn around 50 mechanisms. She will give you previous midterms which accurately reflect the difficulty and style of questions of her current ones. Dr. Fox is super accessible outside of class. She is just such a splendid professor.

She is a great prof! Her teaching style takes some getting used to, but it is clear. This course would have been a lot better if I didn't suck at chemistry :)

AMAZING PROF! She is very passionate, caring, respected, easy to follow, clear and organized. Gives lots of chances to get extra marks (assignments, quiz, extra credit) and uses alot of past questions from midterms and exams! Really easy to do well in gen. chem if you do the problems!

Loved Dr. Fox!! Although harder than Ogilvie she is clear, caring, accessible outside of class, organized, and she gives lots of practice questions + chances to improve your grade. The course is tougher than it seems so don't be fooled. Get the textbook, practice the mechanisms, and ask questions!! practice is the key to doing well here.

10/10 prof! She is extremely knowledgable and clearly loves teaching, she is also great for help outside of class she'll answer your questions& explain concepts for as long as it might take. Her evaluations aren't super easy, but honestly for the amount of resources you have available to you just from being in her class they're fair.

The best chemistry teacher in uottawa by far. Singly recommend her if you want to pass chemistry. Everything is well existing in class and the homework is very little compared to other classes.

This was literally my best class this semester because Dr. Fox is such an amazing prof. she takes her time to explain every single thing so well and the classes are recorded so you don't have to worry about missing much (advisable to go through because you get participation marks). if you also choose to do sapling, she gives extra cred assignments!

Dr. Fox is incredibly happy to teach first year chem. She is a great prof who explains chemistry well. Her first midterm is usually easy, but the 2nd midterm is very hard. Dr. Fox repeats her sayings often, which leads to some annoyance, but she does record lectures (video and audio), and she weighs her exams lightly compared to others.

Homework was brutal, but extra credit is available. Lectures are extremely well-structured and organized. If every teacher taught like her, people would learn stuff. Tests were a little difficult, but not unfair. Participation worth 5%. She tries to be funny, but isn't always the best at it. Regardless, her lectures were very clear. Great prof.

Dr. Fox is an excellent prof! Always willing to give extra help to students, and very engaging during lectures. Make sure to attend class for participation marks, and if you opt into Sapling, make sure that you put in a consistent effort. You can really boost your grade!

Great prof, chemistry isn't really my strong suit, but she sort of helped me appreciate it a bit more. Make sure to do past midterms and finals, she recylces many questions and if I made sure to do all of them I would have done better. Labs and Sapling do help a lot as well, so make sure to do those well. Overall, I really liked dr Fox!

Dr. Fox is an amazing prof for chemistry! She posts all of her past midterms and finals (with answers) and she repeats a lot of the questions. Her lectures are a little bit all over the place, so it definitely helps if you have a strong knowledge of chemistry coming out of high school. Overall, great prof if you're willing to put in a little work.

she was a great a professor but the class isn't easy. i went in with a strong background from a grade 12 which really helped me. i bought the textbook but it was useless tho, if you want an A+ study for the midterms and finals using old exams that are on her website. use chegg to help with online homework and labs.

Coming from someone who hates chem, Dr. Fox made this class fun and engaging. She was really funny and full of energy! Her exams were totally fair, and almost all her questions are recycled from previous years (and she posts all of them with answer keys!!). To do well, do the Sapling, work hard in labs, and make sure to study using the old exams!

Dr. Fox is an amazing prof and cares a lot about her students and their success. She alway made herself available to help and posts years old old practice midterms and exams which you should DEFINITELY study! She's so energetic even at 8:30 in the morning but very passionate about chemistry and her students.

Dr. Fox was a good prof who was very organized, provided a lot of resources to study and she records her lectures on echo360. She is very passionate about chemistry and her classes are engaging. However, she is one of the more tougher profs for first year general chemistry. Her midterms and finals weren't easy. Be prepared!

Super nice and funny. Very clear in her teaching and answers questions well, makes you did midterms in groups which was a mark-booster for some people but personally I didn't like it. Posts all old midterms and exams online for you to study from.

Dr. Fox is amazing. I had her for CHM1311 and CHM1321. She is a strong lecturer and provides MANY resources right on the course website. YOU NEED TO ACTUALLY WORK HARD. You can only do good on her tests if you actually do homework because her test questions are integrative. She isn't lying when she says she's the hardest 1st year chem prof

Good at teaching the material & gives examples in class. Did not use the textbook. Her midterms & exams are difficult but not impossible. Practice ALL of the past exams before the exams & you will do well. ATTEND THE DGD'S, DO SAPLING, and answer ALL the questions on the exams for PART MARKS even if you are lost (they are very generous)!!!!!

Dr. Fox is an amazing teacher. She records her lectures and DGDs which really helps. MAKE SURE you do all of her previous midterms and exams that she posts since the tests are about 80% recycled questions. It is also a good idea to do Sappling + you can get extra credit: I got almost 12/10 on the homework section.

By far my favorite prof! If you are planning on taking chem passed first year CHM1311 and CHM1321 with Dr. Fox is the way to go, there are easier profs but she'll prepare you super well for upper year chem classes. And although her classes aren't easy it's definitely possible to do well if you put in the work!

Dr. Fox gives the hardest midterms and exams compared to all the other chemistry profs but is the best lecturer. She is a great prof if you attend lectures and pay attention. She gives all of the previous midterms and finals, use the finals to help study for the midterms because she pulls question from there.

She is a really good prof. Her power points are very well organised. She has tones of practice exams on brightspace. She cares a lot about teaching and about her students' success. There is alot of extra credit assignments.

Absolutely fantastic. Great personality, starts most lecture with videos of her scuba diving. Sapling can be a little hard, but easy to google, and easy points. the textbook is very helpful for homework, but it is not needed. Lots of extra credit. Her expectations are clear. She gives you all her old exams and midterms. She rocks!!!

Dr Fox is amazing! She's really good at explaining concepts. Midterms are done in 2 stages, boosting your mark :) DO SAPLING!! (you can get bonus marks) As long as you go to class/dgds and practice q's often you will get an A in her class

Dr. Fox is one of the most organized teachers I've ever had. The material is not easy, but if you do all her homework assignments, DGD worksheets, etc. you will be very well prepared for the exams. She is so caring and understanding towards her students. I love this woman with my whole heart

great prof. would take again.

Best class at uOttawa, the prof is always there to help and answer questions, totally recommend if you enjoy chem

Solid prof, an A is definitely doable if you put in the work. She provides old exams and reuses questions from those exams on her midterms and final.

Super prof, almost the best I have ever seen. Feeling lucky to be taught by her.

Great prof to have your first year. Had her for gen chem and for Orgo I. She is amazing at explaining concepts simply and dose many practice questions in class. She shares her previous midterms and exams with the class, they are VERY similar to her test. Also really easy to meet outside of her office hours.

She's the best prof I've known so far and very generous for students to earn an extra mark on the exam and midterms as she adds a bonus question. Make sure you do the assignment cuz it counts and boosts your final mark if your midterm's grade is unexpected.

Best prof I've had so far. Fox will explain things down to the very basic foundations so you can understand questions step for step. She is very accessible, and will answer any and all questions. Highly recommend attending her DGDs or watching their recordings, because those questions will appear on her tests!

Great professor. Provides lots of oppertunities to help encourage better learning in the classroom, and creates ways for students to get extra marks to increase their grade. Group exams are the best.

Dr Fox is an AMAZING professor who truly cares about the success of her students, especially with covid. She assigns plenty of textbook problems to help prepare for midterms . The midterms were all fair, just be ready to study. She's great at explaining topics in a simple way, and you can tell she's passionate about her job. Loved her class!

Professor Fox is the most caring professor I have encountered. She genuinely wants you to do well in her class and she is available to assist you when you need help. Although, the midterms did not reflect the content taught in class and the labs take up to 30 hours to write. This class is just a lot of work but that is not entirely Dr. Fox's fault.

I adore Dr. Fox. She is so warm, kind and genuinely so engaging. You can tell she really understands what she's taking about. I would take her again in a heartbeat.

She is the best. Sometimes she stays an hour after class to help; she does hw questions, extra problems, so stop complaining about long lectures. The test questions are very similar to textbook questions - you have to do that hw (but if you do all the hw, you will get 95%) .She cares so much about students, and is always accessible for help.

Her midterms don't reflect the questions from lecture? That's not even accurate. She can't make her own questions because she's restricted by a question bank, but Qs on the midterm are based on the exact same concepts she teaches you in class. Her midterms are fair and she's been generous with marking. Fox is great, these ratings are just sad.

Dr. Fox is a great prof. She has been understanding, accomodating throughout the semester. She explains topics well but you do have to do practice questions to solidify your understanding.

Dr. Fox is a fantastic prof. She posted video examples before class that was mostly theory-based so that you could broaden your understanding of the topic. She went through many examples in class and tests were mostly made up of similar DGD examples as well as examples from assignments. She is a caring prof who is setting up her students to succeed

Dr. Fox is the definition of an amazing prof. She is caring and extremely understanding. She explains topics in-depth and DGD's are helpful to understand confusing topics. Questions from DGD's have usually appeared on the tests as well. She is funny and tries her best to understand student's concerns and helps them in order for them to succeed.

If you want a good prof who will teach concepts well then take her. If you want easy midterms then dont. This is university, the midterms should not be easy and she is incredibly clear and very knowledgeable. She will make sure you are prepared for future chem courses. Test questions were found in DGDs most of the time!

She is one of the best profs I've had since coming to university. She is very understanding and insightful. Her lectures online were a little long but she really took the time to explain concepts. Midterms/ tests were a little hard, but they reflected DGD questions and in-class questions.

Dr. Fox was my favorite prof, but keep in mind, if you want to do well, you can't just do that bare minimum: do to DGDs and go textbook problems. Midterms and exams were extremely fair, and there wasn't a single question that I had not seen before in either a DGD, in class example, or the textbook. Highly highly recommend her!!

An AMAZING prof, my favourite for sure. She explains concepts clearly, is passionate about chem and cares for her students. Go to DGDs (Alisha's) and do chem101 assignments, those WILL appear on the test. I wish the lecture problems reflected what was covered on the tests better. Watch recorded lectures at 2x speed if u lack time. Overall the BEST!

Self-explanatory, study hard, get good grades. One huge thing is that people expect the curriculum from her notes to be word for word on the exam, although it won't be exactly the same (like how math questions won't be the exact same from your practice as an example). She's very caring of the students, besides that, just be wary of studying hard!

Dr. Fox is an amazing professor. She is so sweet and considerate. Amazing at explaining concepts in many ways if needed. Midterms & exams are tough but fair. Do the assignments - they are very helpful for the tests. Reachable outside of class.

Dr. Fox is so knowledgable, goes very slow-paced which gives you sufficient time to absorb even complex topics, and provides all the resources you need to do well. If you just DO & UNDERSTAND the textbook questions, CHEM101, and the in-class worksheets then it is BEYOND possible to perform well. The exam was MORE than fair :) Def recommend.

Dr. Fox is excellent. She ensured all students concerns were addressed throughout this odd semester, and tried her best to accommodate everyone. The content may be heavy, but thats expected with a university-level science course. Class test averages this year were even higher than previous years, yet Dr. Fox still sought ways to help boost marks.

She is a great teacher that wants people to do well. However, you HAVE to do all of the hw, many of the questions on the exam are either from Chem101 or the textbook (people say some of the questions weren't covered but they were in the hw). She teaches really well, but her office hours are the best if you don't understand material.

Dr. Fox is a super caring and fair professor. Her lectures are super clear since she goes slowly and step by step. The questions covered in the lectures/worksheets are VERY SIMILAR to those on the midterms/final. If you practice those & do chem 101 + textbook hw, you can def get an A. You won't regret taking Dr. Fox's class!

I believe that people were too hard on Dr. Fox this semester. They forget how hard it is to go from many years of in-person teaching to online in just 2 semesters. I believe that Dr. Fox did extraordinary in her teaching, given the circumstances. I would absolutely take her again, and I hope to take another one of her courses in the future.

Dr. Fox was a great prof for general chem. Her lectures were very thorough (often too long as there were pre-recorded videos to watch prior to lectures AND zoom lectures with practice problems). As long as you review the problems from class and the homework on CHEM101, you should be more than prepared for the midterms and exam (which are fair).

Dr. Fox is an amazing prof that is able to clearly communicate what is expected of you. Even though I feel I could have done better in this class, her teaching style is very efficient and helpful. As long as you do the work, you will receive a good mark. Her lectures are also very useful as she does the worksheets with the class.

Dr. Fox is an amazing teacher. All her notes are clear and even tho lectures are long, you can skip them and watch the recording at 2x the speed. Everything on the midterms and exam were reasonable with one hard question. She says in the beginning of her course attend the DGDs, which most didnt. PS- THE HARDEST QUESTION COMES FROM THE DGD!

VERY caring and understanding prof. Her exam questions were straight from assignments and DGDs. People just missed that. Make sure you show up to class and understand the content. I have truly never understood chemistry before until I took 1311 with her. You will not regret it!!!

Dr. Fox is very passionate about chemistry, and it shows in her teaching. She is very clear and easy to listen to. There is a textbook, but it is optional. Keep in mind I took this during covid... Only downside -- she has a lot of students, so it sometimes takes a while to get a response from her by email. Great prof!!

amazing prof. make sure you show up to class AND DO EVERY ASSIGNMENT QUESTION. those tend to show up a lot on exams and tests. DGD questions are also important. She shifted the weightings to give everyone the highest grade possible. shows how caring she is!!

although her lectures were a bit long (2 + hrs sometimes), she still managed to make class fun and made sure to explain stuff in detail so that everyone understands the material. chemistry is not an easy subject, and of course you are expected to do some extra practice, just make sure you ask for help and attend DGDs and you'll be fine!!

Ok she's really not as bad as everyone before is making her seem. Yes, her lectures 2+ hours, yes the problems in class don't match the mid terms (just go to DGDs & pay attention to assignments), but she really takes her time (she calculated everyone's mark SEVEN ways so we get the best). If that's not caring, idk what is. Don't be underestimate!

I probably destroyed my eternal soul doing this class, but I would do it again. There's a lot (30 min pre-lec, CHEM 101, textbook), and if this is your only chem class, you may want to take another prof. Otherwise, it'll break you down and build you up. If you don't have time for the textbook, do the other TAs DGD questions.

After reading the last few reviews, I am shocked. Fox was an amazing prof. I never did well in highschool chem, but Fox's lectures were really well explained and the assignments helped reinforce the material. Fox always answered emails and even looked over tests to remark. She did everything she could to give us the highest mark possible.

Dr Fox is amazing and the negative comments arent true at all you will see yourself. Most people gave her bad ratings because its first year and they got disappointed that they didnt get the 90 that they used to get in high school thats completely normal. Im a second year student and I can tell she cares! Plus she calculated marks fairly!!!!!

Dr. Fox Is great because she's really good at simplifying things and doesn't assume that everybody already knows everything, so she takes her time in explaining concepts.

Dr. Fox is the best prof I had in all of first year online. She is nice and actually cares and listens to her students. You can tell that she works really hard to create a good online space. The course content was not easy and you need to work hard and practice to do well but the course set-up (especially online) was a good as it gets.

Took orgo1 in french with her and it was amazing. Lectures went overtime, but with online class it doesn't matter too much. Always reexplains things if you have questions, draws everything out during the lecture, and slides are very organized. Honestly, if she is teaching orgo1 again, take it with her you won't regret it!

Dr. Fox is a really nice professor. She explains everything super well and she's always willing to ask questions. The only thing I didn't like about her course is that you have to watch the lectures on your own time and class time is used for review and problem solving (like DGD's). This really affected my motivation and caused me to fall behind.

Very interesting prof!! Made online lectures interesting and really cares about her students!

She is an AMAZING teacher! She provided so many resources (extra dgds/office hours, more practice, pre-lecture theory videos, textbook, and participation quizzes) that were not mandatory but were for our benefit. She cares so much about her students, listens to their concerns, and takes extra time to answer questions. I highly recommend her!

I LOVE HER. her lecture videos are the type of videos you would want to watch on youtube, she is very clear and informative. I love chem and she didn't ruin it for me. I recommend her yall. and her tests are fair and easy. if you do the quizzes you get a 5% bonus throughout the term. she is nice, caring, and sweet. labs are very useful as well.

I was terrified of university-level chemistry and I'm so glad I had Dr. Fox as my prof! She's great at explaining concepts that I had a lot of trouble with in high school, and is incredibly patient and helpful with answering questions after class. However, you really need to be ready to work hard in her class!

Highly recommend Dr. Fox! She is organized, explains clearly and always available outside of class. She does provide many ressources which I would use according to your needs - they all don't need to be used. Overall a great experience and I hope to have Dr. Fox again in the future.

My favorite prof so far at uni. Had orgo in person and so happy I did because this prof was super good at explaining. Great energy and nice to students, answers questions after class. Tests were challenging (averages for both midterms around 50 or 60) but nothing unexpected, she gives old tests which are nearly identical. Hard class but survivable.

Best Prof I've had so far. She is caring and really loves what she does. She makes chemistry a lot easier to understand and will answer all questions. At the start of classes, she shared stories and at the end of the semester, we had a virtual pet parade.

Study her practice midterms, exams, and attend her lectures (also accessible online later which is pretty neat). Recommend understanding both theory and practice problems. Lots of energy so 8:30 am lectures weren't miserable!

She was honestly great. The first midterm had a 49% average, but that's mainly because people didn't do enough practice midterms. If you practice midterms until 2012, the first midterm won't be extremely challenging. Take note of any problems you don't get first try and focus on those (also focus on questions that come up a couple of times).

She's an amazing teacher, but the course itself is a challenge. She's always available and super caring, she tries to make the class interesting and dynamic, her DGD's are super useful! The grading is tough but the feedback is amazing. A very passionate teacher.

Probably the best prof at uOttawa. She records her lectures and posts lots of practice questions with FULL SOLUTIONS. Her exams are very similar to her previous ones with a few easy bonus questions. She ended up calculating our final marks in 9 different ways and taking the highest mark- ya I would definitely take her again.

Dr. Fox is kind and extremely passionate. Her enthusiasm during 8:30 AM lectures was unmatched. Her lectures were very high quality, however, her exams were deadly; REVIEW PREVIOUS MIDTERMS. The evaluations are very long and take up every last minute of the exam period. The final class average: 42.6%. The lab component was a massive time dump.

Had her online. Very nice person and prof. She explains things clearly and walks u through practice q's. Do as much practice as u can for MTs and the final cuz they're tough but doable. DGDs with her TA Leah were amazing! Practice Qs on CHEM101 were helpful. Bottom line: put in the effort, stay on top of things, and practice!

Great prof, class material is explained thoroughly and if ur ever confused she offers help right after class on the spot; line does get long but she will answer ur questions eventually. Very organized and reuses past midterms and finals questions so be sure to use those as a study method.

Dr. Fox was an amazing lecturer when I took her in 2019 and 2020. Gen chem is a wakeup call for a lot of uni students and it's not easy, but the prof conveys the material really well and in an engaging matter. She provides past finals which are similar to what you get tested on.

Orgo 1 is not an easy class but Dr. Fox does a great job in keeping the lectures engaged and wanting us to succeed, using different grading formulas to make sure we get the best grade possible.

THIS PROF IS AN ABSOLUTE ANGEL. Always happy to help if you have questions and she will make sure you understand. She is an absolute sweetheart. Take her class if you can, best way to succeed in organic chem.

Excellent teacher, really passionate about chemistry, exams cover all the material, but the grades can be a bit low

Amazing professor for orgo 1 take her if you can. She's so sweet and sets you up for success. Her notes are very clear and easy to understand she makes the class super fun.

Dr. Fox is an excellent professor. She is very caring and understanding in the way the final grades are calculated. She doesn't speak fast during lectures, so its easier to keep up with the content. The past midterms are almost the same as her evaluations too, so if you want to do good make sure you practice with those.

amazing prof. very clear on exactly what you will be tested on, is completely fine slowing down lectures to make sure you understand, and even decided one dgd wasn't enough so she hosted an extra zoom meeting dgd every week. tests can be long sometimes but the questions aren't especially hard, just make sure to keep working in the second half

I miss this prof so much best prof ever for orgo.

I honestly love her so much and very disappointed in myself for not being very smart and not trying hard enough. Always recommend

Dr. Fox is awesome. Is a genuinely good teacher and exams are very fair. She is available to ask questions to after every class and uploads slideshows and recorded lectures on Brightspace. I HIGHLY recommend her, especially for orgo 1. She cares about her students and it shows. Her class is also easier than most of the other orgo 1 profs.

If you keep PRACTICING AND REVIEWING the lectures, everything should be fine.

Dr. Fox is a fantastic professor - very caring and organized. Her lectures are engaging, and the practice exams are super helpful. Using unstuckstudy ai alongside the course materials really boosted my understanding.

I feel like this rating doesn't do justice to Dr. Fox's awesomeness. She is an amazing professor who cares about her students. Hosts office hours right after the class, and never make you feel rushed. You just have to be willing to put in the work. Make sure to do the previous midterms. In a nutshell, I would take Dr. Fox in a heartbeat.

Best chemistry prof, very organized and clearly articulates exactly what is expected and is necessary for examinations. Passionate about teaching and it shows in the flow of topics. She hosts her own DGDs, makes summary sheets for mechanisms, and teaches difficult concepts in plain terms compared to other profs. Plenty of practice that mimics exam.

Really sweet and obviously enjoys what she does. Her tests are kind of difficult if you don't dedicate a good portion of your time to understanding problems but once you get the idea down, it's all pretty straight-forward and in line with what she teaches. Times her lectures to match what you're doing in the lab portion, overall a good prof.

Dr. Fox is genuinely one of the best professors I have ever had. Her lectures are easy to understand and she is very passionate in her topics. She makes every lecture available afterwards on the Brightspace, and holds office hours directly after the lecture. Her exams are simple and straightforward, and you're allowed to use a cheat sheet

Absolutely amazing prof with clear and complete knowledge of the material. Classes were given with powerpoints which came with the professor's own textbook available through the online portal for free. Classes included fun demos like the dissolution of thermoplastics and pHs of detergents, along with in-class activities that counted for a bit.

Dr. Fox is an excellent professor. She explained many general chemistry concepts slowly and well. Her midterms and finals aren't difficult but are very long, so you have to do them quickly and double-check at the end. One thing I don't like about her is how she puts her exams on Saturday mornings. If you're fine with that then take her.

THE BEST CHEM PROF!! TAKE HER NOW!!! Many many resources, extra practice, opportunities to ask questions and go through examples. Lectures are very engaging. Exams very similar to past exams, which are all available for practice. Very very sweet and patient.

Dr. Fox is an amazing professor who clearly cares about her students. While her tests can be long, the questions were taken from old exams and examples provided. Her lecture notes are also amazing and lectures are even recorded. Class averages of around 60% with amazing resources and a double sided memory aid is nowhere near Dr. Fox's fault.

Dr. Fox clearly cares about all of her students. All of her exams were taken from previous years and it was very easy to do well in the course, class average for the second midterm was 91%. Her lectures are amazing to the point where I would look forward to class every week. She is great, I'd take her for any other CHM course as well!

Great lectures, great prof, not a tough grader as people claim her to be, gives weighting flexibility if you mess up a test, practice exams are great as she often reuses questions. Highly recommend.

Lectures are very organized and high-quality, making them easier to understand. Her tests can be difficult as Gen Chem is not an easy course anyway, but she provides plenty of practice material including past exams which are similar to the real deal, as well as a memory aid. She also calculates your mark in the best way possible. Best prof!

Dr. Fox is amazing. She clearly wants her students to succeed. She's great at explaining difficult concepts so I found that I easily understood concepts that gave me a headache in highschool. She's always available for questions after class and responds to emails promptly. Only criticism would be her long and difficult exams. Definitely recommend!

I have literally just begun class this week and I can already tell the sheer difference in teaching style and understanding compared to other profs. She makes everything super clear to understand. Im Literally not scared of org chem at all, its all perfectly clear and she provides LOTS of practice and explanations. Recorded lectures too!

BEST PROF EVER!!! It's impossible to fail her class-I did the first test with 0 studying and still got a B. She's a pro at what she does and explains everything very clearly. The practice problems are the same as the exam questions, I even had some with the exact same values on the final! Lectures are recorded and she's accessible outside class too

nicest person ever stays after class to answer EVERYONES questions, super easy explanations, posts all the resources like exams dating back to 2005. She basically drops all midterms if u did good on the final, and she openly says that she reuses questions from previous finals, all the resources are there so its easy to ace the final.

Dr Fox is very dynamic and cheerful to the point where I would look forward to her 8am lectures. She summarizes heavy concepts in a way that makes them easier to digest and even makes summary sheets and hosts her own DGD's. Her exams are similar to previous papers. The final was not difficult but midterm 2 was tough, but doable if you study hard.

Dr. Fox is a great prof. Her exams are very fair but you must put in the work to do well. Her grading scheme is awesome and allows you to boost your grade in many ways through assignments and participation. I don't know my grade yet but regardless I loved fox. Definitely the best orgo prof this school year.

Dr. Fox is an amazing lecturer and she's very committed and passionate about teaching chemistry. I recommend her to anyone that is willing to put in work. Her exams are more difficult than other orgo profs. She's very accessible outside of class and always friendly, willing to answer questions! + provides so many opportunities for mark boosters!

Dr. Fox is an excellent professor who truly cares about her students. Though the exams are tough (it's orgo chem!), she provides great support—recorded lectures, past exams, review materials, and bonus questions. It's a challenging course, but she gives you all the tools to succeed.

the goat i love her

She is an amazing and kind professor but her exams are brutal. Take her class if you want to learn and actually understand

Dr. Fox is such a great prof, she's super engaging and always available to answer any questions. Very organized, and she provides lots of practice questions. You do need to put in the work though, as exams are pretty difficult (but reasonable). Lots of opportunities to earn bonus marks - overall, would love to take a course with her again!

Out of everyone teaching Orgo, she is by far the best option. She records her lectures so attendance is not mandatory however you do get a bonus 5% if you do show up. However there is a way to complete it from home... Her grading is extremely generous. Orgo in general is tough so do not go into this expecting an easy A. Study past exams trust me

She's great at teaching and stays after class as long as possible to answer questions, HOWEVER her exams are long and difficult, especially the first midterm. It's actually easy to get 100 in her exams if you do A LOT of practice because she actually reuses practice questions. She also boosted our class by 2% so her class is good if you work HARDDD

Dr. Fox is a great professor who cares about the success of her students. Her lectures are very engaging and takes her time explaining. The first midterm was rough, but if you study hard you'll be fine. She reuses lots of homework questions and past test questions. Final is long but not hard. Put in the time to study and her class will be fine.

Nothing to hate, if u study you'll pass and the teacher is very nice:)

Recently getting bad into science with a bit of spare time. Didn't have a great experience at university but can definitely say Dr. Fox was one of my favourite professors by far. Very smart and great at explaining concepts even during COVID when it was online. Also made class fun to learn and something I wish I got to focus on properly.
