I expected this class to be really hard, but it was bad at all. She takes a lot of time to explain the notes and work through problems. She takes questions in class and makes sure they are fully answered before moving on. I also had her for recitation and she was great. If you can take her, do it. It will make this class so much easier.

She is an AMAZING professor; the BEST Chemistry professor I've ever had!!!! She makes the class SO EASY, but you still learn a lot! It is an easy "A", but not one of those easy A's where you don't learn anything. It is an easy A that you have to do only a little bit of work for. Again, she is an OUTSTANDING TEACHER. As a bonus, she's kinda hot. :D

Dr. Mock has relatively easy tests compared to other professors. She starts recognizing you if you visit her often in her office. But she kind of gets this demeaning look if you don't understand something (which was rare for me because I got an A, but she still gave me that look). She sometimes joked around in class too!

This is a very difficult and fast paced course. I 100% recommend talking 1110 before 1120. With that being said, prof Mock tries her best to make sure students understand the material and is willing to answer any questions. Utilizing all resources is important to do well in this course.

Dr. Mock typically teaches the health science course, and she should stick with teaching that course.

Prof Mock moves very quick and has terrible handwriting. You'll most likely have to go back and rewatch the lectures. Get ready to teach yourself. The exams are nothing like the homework and there are tons of aleks topics every week so do good on the knowledge check. Exams are worth 23.5% of your grade and aleks pie total counts as an exam.

Absolutely trash at teaching/lecturing if you can call it that, you have to teach yourself or go to after school tutoring to learn anything. So much information and none of it is useful. She also doesnt relate this to practical application and real life at all. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS UNLESS YOU WANT TO FAIL!

Genuinely the HARDEST class I have ever taken. The amount of material covered is insane. Be ready to teach yourself most of the material and ATTEND SI SESSIONS!!! Mock cares about her students success, but she expects you to put in the work and do what you need to do ON YOUR OWN to be successful. Good luck future nurses!! :)

This class is the easiest chem class to possibly take at UT....lecture heavy professor, but teaches you everything you need to know. Show up, study the lectures, and USE PRACTICE EXAMS/QUIZZES over and over and the exam will not come as a shock. First exam you should know 1-10 chapters, but that is expected b/c you passed the pre-chem class/aleks.

To be honest, I would avoid taking Dr. Mock if you can. The workload is draining, considering that you have to do pre-lecture notes, read the textbook, and then do some ALEKS if you have any hope of understanding lectures. I did like that we could retake online quizzes after one attempt. Her exams are difficult unless you have many hours to study.

Dr. Mock has a difficult nursing chemistry class but that was because of the number of types of chemistry we had to learn in 15 weeks. The class goes by fast.
