sooooooooooooo easy

Hugely easy, coasted through with an a.

She teaches very clearly and helps us even though she has so many people in the class. She is also a very happy teacher who loves her job.

the class is drudgery, but she is not to be blamed. she gives us the material, tells us what to do, and sets us free. how well you do depends on how hard much you prepare and how much effort you put in, grading is a bit tough. she is pretty helpful in answering questions.

I took her for gen. chem and she taught me a lot

The online assigments can become very frustrating, but they force you to do the homework. Because I am made to do the homework I do well in her class. She also really likes to assign group work, which breaks up class time a bit.

teaches high school style. forces you to do online assignments which give you instant feedback. moves quickly, but breaks the info down into simple steps. i sucked at chem before this class, and now i'm doing very well, but only take this class if you're willing to do the work along the way.

One of the best profs i've had so far at UD. I hated chem before her, and now i like it. Now, I have confidence in my chem abilities. A's are atainable in her class- but you have to keep up and study. The OWL assignments are a pain but really help. Very nice, understanding, flexible.

If you have to take this class you should complain to the registrar for actually having to pay for the most awful professor imaginable. The concepts are stressed, but the problem is you dont know what the hell the concepts are.

She is extremely boring, extremely hard tests. Always available at her office, very good in one on one learning. The owl is horrible, annoying, you if you miss a comma or something that is not really important you have to redo it again, and the problems are never the same one.

She is wonderful, she is very fun and knowledgeable and if you try she will really help you. Make sure you are on time to class and pay attentions. She tells you all the answers to the quizzes right before she hands them out so aks questions and pay close attention to what she says... it will be on the quiz!

Gives out tons of online work, which tends to be a complete pain because of the format. Explains things very well, almost too well, since i found myself almost insulted by how much she simpled down her explanations. Takes the class a little too seriously, but like many other teachers like this tends to give a lot of slack on the final.

She's an OK teacher. Knows what she's talking about. I thought she was a hard grader though. You can answer a question correctly but if it's not the exact answer she wants, you're wrong. Her tests are also also pretty hard, but the final is a lot easier in comparison. I guess there are worst teachers you could have.

She's a great teacher. I was in a lecture CHM 123 class and she was very helpful in explaining the concepts. You definately have to do all the homework and reading, though, which can be a lot. She is always available for out of class help. Overall, you have to do a lot of work to get an A, but she's there to help, and you learn a TON.

She's very formal and professional, except when she talks about her kids in some analogy to Chemistry. Very nitpicky (for good reason). Don't say anything unprofessional. She seems to take offense. Helpful. Expects a lot. Former engineer. Very intelligent. Pay detailed attention to her definitions. Has a lot of students - hard to stand out.

I try to like her. She just seems mean. I don't know what it is. Strictly as a teacher, she's pretty decent. If you're an engineer and you get a good grade in this class, you are well set. She teaches it so you have to "problem solve" and can't just plug numbers into equations without any understanding of concepts.

very unclear sometimes, learning us usually your responsibility because she usually only goes over the homework, tests are decent, but she gets annoying because she spends too much time saying how you should learn instead of teaching

She is the type of teacher where it is best to do your homework although it is not graded. If you do the assigned reading before class (as directed by her) then not only will you learn the main points in class but will have an opportunity to ask her questions. Overall, excellent teacher!

Kimberly Trick is an AMAZING teacher. As long as you listen to her in class and do your homework ( which I NEVER did) you will do well in the class. She explains things extremely well and as long as you try you won't get less then an A. She isn't mean, she is just very no nonsense. She is a wonderful lady. I highly recommend her.

Excellent professor. Made concepts very easy to understand. Tests reflected homework and class notes. I would recommend her.

This proffessor is super easy!! Before every quiz she goes over anything you want. I never studied for a thing and got an A. If you like a slow paced class, power to you.

Ask for extra help and she will give available times just for you. She is a Chemical Engineer and that's my major. Therefore, I found her way of thinking/teaching very helpful for myself. The tests are hard, but the low scores were because I didn't really study/review in the beginning of the year.

Extremely organized, so you pretty much alway know what you need to do. If you do all of the work, you should be fine. She really wants her students to succeed.

Decent teacher. pretty necessary to do the homework to do well. if you do everything and study moderately, its easy

Dr. Trick is a very good teacher, however she expects you to do you work before class. She assigns a lot of OWL homework, but it is very useful and helps you understand the work. I would definitely take her again. Her tests are hard, but if you study the material and do the homework they are no problem at all.

Dr, Trick is a very tough teacher. The tests are hard and there are a lot of quizzes. However, if you listen in class and pay attention to the examples on the board it is NOT BAD AT ALL.I never did the hw but went to every class. She allowed the class to retake quizzes if bad and extra credit is available on tests and quizzes.I am taking here again

Very friendly and approachable. She demands a lot from the students homework-wise, but it pays off. She forms her exams from the homework and lecture notes. Got a B on the first exam and D on the third. She helped me back on track and I got the best grade in the class on the final. She gave me an A+. If you actually wish to gain something, take her

Dr. Trick is an excellent professor. She makes concepts very easy to understand and will go above and beyond to help her students. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you miss one class, I guarantee you will be lost. Expectations are very clear and you will never be surprised by a question on an exam or quiz.

She is a really good teacher and she knows her stuff. She isn't the nicest woman you'll ever meet but she is better than any of the other chem teachers from what I hear. I tried in her class and ended up with a 98, but if you don't do the work you won't do well.

studying for her exams was very easy the owl assigned is all that is needed to learn the material and was my best study guide. all you have to do to get an A is work the problems until you get them and by get them i mean UNDERSTAND them. shes also very helpful outside of class.. just talk to her for a bit and you'll find shes really quite friendly

I thought her class was easy but I think that was because I did the large amount of work she required. If you do the owls and ask her if you're confused on anything..you will do fine in the class. She does expect a lot so if you aren't willing to put in the time then don't take her. She is better at teaching than any of the other into teachers.

This was the second prof i took for 123 because the first one was a horrible teacher and i had to drop. Trick was amazing! best teacher i have had at UD by far. Seriously knows her stuff. Also made what is usually a pretty tough subject very easy. Honestly seems to care about her students and their success. I definitely reccommend her!

Everyone always talks about how great Trick is, but i can't stand her teaching style. Half the class is spent with her expecting you to "discuss with your group," while she doesn't actually teach. It's easy if you do the homework, but class attendance is pointless if you do that because you've already taught yourself everything you need to know.

Dr. Trick is not for the feint of heart. She knows what she is doing,and really invests a lot of her time into her classes. She has office hours every weekday, and will always respond to an e-mail, weekend or not. I have never learned more from a professor.

Trick is a good teacher and really knows her stuff.. granted, she acts like this is the ONLY class that you are taking at UD, and has OWL's (online hmwk) along with reading objectives vocab and reading review questions that she wants you to do before class (people seldom do) if you go into office hours or ask a question she makes you seem stupid

I can see how people get annoyed with her, but I liked Dr. Trick a lot. Clearly knows her material and conveys it clearly. Has high expectations but it isn't hard to meet them if you put in minimal effort. If you want a blow-off A, don't take it, but if you do the work you will have absolutely NO trouble succeeding and learning a lot in her class.

good teacher, hard ass tests

She is a good teacher and is definitely one of the better chemistry teachers at UD. Her class is not easy though and she does make you work hard in order to get a good grade. There are OWL assignments, clicker questions at the beginning of class, but you have a small group to help. She posts tests from previous years online. Gives weekly quizzes

Trick is the best general chemistry teacher, but that's not saying much. She's pretty stand offish and I didn't find in class notes very helpful. She does provide section overviews that, coupled with homework questions, have everything you need to know for tests. If you don't use the overviews, this class can be pretty frustrating.

If you need to really learn this material for your major, I recommend taking her. Even though she expects you to teach yourself with OWLs, you will learn the material whether you like her teaching method or not. If you will never use chemistry again and dont feel like spending a lot of time on chemistry, I would recommend taking someone else.

Chemistry is rough. Trick makes it less rough, but you're gonna have to put your work in outside of class.

Dr. Trick is not for those that want to recieve an A through not studying. However, If you put in the work and do all of her study guides and attend class then it is no problem.

Dr. Trick is FANTASTIC! She is difficult and gives a lot of homework, but definitely makes you remember the information (which is good for pre-med majors). She explains things very well.

Took her for CHM 123 and 124. You have to go to class for clicker points but it is honestly pointless otherwise because she only teaches after you learn the material yourself through OWLS. The OWLS are so much more helpful than she is. Multiple people went in for help to office hours and left crying. Nags you daily. Did well because i took AP chem.

Dr. Trick is a great professor. She absolutely loves chemistry and UD. She does assign a decent amount of busy work, but if you do this, getting a good grade will not be difficult. She goes out of her way to help students and is very accomodating. I definitely would recommend her.

Excellent teacher and is will to help anyone. Expects a lot out of students. Weekly quizzes and online homework before every class. Tests are fair. This is the best teacher to take to be prepared for future courses.

I really enjoyed her as a professor. I wish I could take her in 124. You really learn in her class and she expects a lot out of you. If you want a good grade, you have to work for it. She is a fair grader and will help you if you are prepared and willing. If you want to learn then definitely take her because it will be worth your while.

Undoubtedly one of the best. Knows how to keep me honest and dedicated to my studies and classwork with the regular assignments and quizzes. I think she is giving me a strong foundation for my future chemistry courses-even though I'm always tempted to ease up on my time commitment and relax a little.

Dr. Trick is great for CHM 123 if you are willing to put in the effort and teach yourself the concepts. There's daily OWL assignments and weekly quizzes, but it keeps you up to date on the material and helps to prepare you for the tests, which are in no way easy unless you study. I've worked hard to earn a B+ in her class.

Trick is a great teacher and severely underrated. She is challenging but excellent at explaining concepts and making you think. If you do the work, you'll do well. She teaches what's on the test and is the best chem teacher at UD most likely.

Dr. Trick is a great professor and I actually learned and understood concepts. The class was a lot of work, but well worth it in my opinion. The class is initially frustrating due to the OWLs and review questions, but is quite manageable once you get the hang of it. I would definitely recommend taking a class with Dr. Trick. You will learn a lot!

HANDS DOWN THE BEST CHEM PROFESSOR AT DAYTON! You have to put in the work to get a good grade in this class! You will learn so much in this course, hello you are in college, no one is giving out an easy A! She is great for meeting for office hours. Dont be shy, she likes students who take initiative to learn. Good luck!

Very smart and helpful. I learned more in this class than any other class that year.

Great Teacher! Expects a lot from her students. She tells you exactly how to pass her class. You have to do all the work. Sometime you can not read and just study the powerpoints. But it really isn't worth it. You have Clicker questions often. And test are hard to pass if you dont know what you are doing. Best bet, make a study group. Great teacher

She's great! I currently have an A in her course and let me tell you haha I didn't think that would happen. THE BEST chemistry professor at Dayton- she's really clear and concise! I love her! She made me love chemistry again! TAKE HER IF YOU WANT AN A IN CHEMISTRY! Don't listen to the negative reviews- they come from lazy people.

Dr trick is very nice she really likes to see you try your hardest and will help you all you need when you go to office hours. She does give homework on owl which requires reading. it takes about 2 hours to finish it all and be concise with it. do the review questions because those are on the quizzes that you take on friday afternoon.

She is a great professor, lots of homework but by the end of the course you will understand everything she taught you.

Dr. Trick is a very sweet lady and she genuinely cares about her students. Her class is definitely lecture heavy but she explains topics very thoroughly and answers questions completely. She really wants you to know the material and understand it all the way. You have to put in work but she tells you exactly what you need to do to succeed.

Dr. Trick is one of the best professors I have ever had at UD. This class is not easy, but if you put in the work, ask questions, and go to office hours, you will get a good grade. She is always willing to answer any questions you have and if you don't understand a subject, she will try to explain it a different way. So lucky to have as a teacher.

She teaches a very difficult class, but makes it easy to get feedback and offers extra credit. She cares about the students and her office hours and SI are very helpful. Study hard and you should be fine.

Dr. Trick was such an amazing professor. She wanted all her students to succeed and would work with them individually until they understood the concepts if needed. She also allows all students to come into office hours to look at their tests and get partial credit for their work. Some of my tests when from B- to As.

Dr. Trick took over this course halfway through the semester. I think she handled it like a champ. My grades and understanding of the material in this class increased once she started teaching it. She does open book open note quizzes every chapter and exams every unit that are JUST like the quizzes. She's also very friendly.

Dr. Trick is a fair professor who makes you work hard, but it pays off. The quizzes and exams are straightforward if you read the textbook and engage in class. unstuckstudy was super helpful for study prep - saved me time and improved my understanding.
