I do not understand the amazing reviews. Every time I asked her a question she looked at me like I had just offended her, it made me very uncomfortable. The class itself is pretty simple, do the pre and post labs and you pass. I wouldn't take her again.

Worst teacher ever. When I ask for help she ignores me and doesn't want to answer anything I have to ask. I felt so disrespected. Hard grader spent more time on homework for her lab then I did the actual lecture. Labs shouldn't ever be this tough. DO NOT TAKE HER!

Lots of homework for a 1 credit course, if you ask this professor a question about the homework/calculations she'll just stare at you and walk away. Questions on assignments often ambiguous and difficult to understand. Forced class to turn in an uncompleted lab. Class average on this assignment was 1/4, most students lost 2% off their final grade.

You better have great lab partners and access to Google, because she is no help. She does not teach you anything during the lab. She'll begin each class with a 10 minute lecture of what is expected of the lab and that's it. She does not answer any questions and makes you feel dumb for not knowing chemistry. Take chem lab from someone else.

Leslie isn't the best lab teacher. She doesn't go over the procedures in class. She's a tough grader and never explains why you didn't get it right. She seemed closed off and grumpy, uninterested in the success of her students. I would recommend taking lab from almost any other teacher.

I don't get how she got good reviews, she is so boring. Offers no extra credit. As long as you do your prelabs, post labs, and data sheets you'll be fine. But she does grade tough sometimes, and if you don't turn one in it's difficult to get an A. (everything is four points).

She doesn't offer any make up work for medically excused absences, she is over the top about her grading policies, and she will make you feel stupid about any question she wants. Very disinterested in her students and her labs don't follow the lecture class at all.

This professor is one of the worst I've had. She is very condescending and unhelpful when it comes to explaining things. Her lab worksheets are poorly designed and hard to follow. It feels like she doesn't care at all about her students learning and comprehension.

She is extremely hands off during lab. Says a few words at the start of the class and then sits looking at the internet. She is a tough grader that gives no feedback on what she was looking for. Only good part is that accuracy during the lab doesn't matter and the internet can answer most lab questions. Avoid if possible.

Professor Abplanalp is a VERY tough grader. Some times I dont even understand where shes getting her calculations when grading assignments - for example, she will use 2.67 out of 4. She doesnt explain anything she just expects you to read the lab procedure and know how to do everything. When asking questions shell make you feel dumb, so dont.

No disrespect to Professor Abplanalp as a person, but she is a terrible professor. She deserves to be fired from her teaching position and forced to find work elsewhere. She clearly cares nothing about what she's teaching. She's an EXTREMELY tough grader. Gives a lot of homework for a 1 credit class. I'd give her a 0 out of 5 if I could.

Look, I get that you want kids to get the right answer and do the work. But when I say this professor is the TOUGHEST grader of all time I mean it. She will literally find any reason to dock you points, even if you ask and confirm before you submit that you had an correct answer. This is the worst lab class I have taken. Take it from ANYONE else

Wish I could rate her as a 0. No instruction in class, then extremely harsh grader on post labs with 0 direction of what she's looking for. Will also receive grades after assignments are closed so you don't get a chance to fix or learn from mistakes made.

You cannot see your grade in class. Period. If you want to improve your grade that's also too bad because she's an extremely harsh grader and doesn't tell you where you went wrong nor does she have hours. The whole class felt like 4 credit hours. No late work accepted, and everything is submitted via pictures. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!

She is a very tough grader, would take off most points for misspelling a single word. Couldn't even tell the diffrence between ammonia and acetone during a lab class, and refused to acknowledge the mistake. Doesn't teach you anything nor help with labs.

Started class like 30 minutes late. Siri read the lecture not her so that's fun. She is a really tough grader and the communication is not great.

I would try to get another professor if you can. You will be quizzed on things that are not in the materials provided or discussed in class. You show up to class and she has the computer read the procedure. She does not show your overall grade until the end of the course and makes you feel dumb if you ask questions.

Definitely shouldn't be a teacher obviously doesn't want to be one. She pretty much does nothing during class besides take attendance. When you ask her a question she usually seems so confused and rarely get the answer you need. seems incompetent in the subject. take anyone else.

Leslie is easily the worst professor I have had at SLCC. She is extremely unapproachable and does not help you to understand material. AI reads the lab procedure. If you message her outside of class for clarification on anything she will tell you to talk to her in class about it. Grading is all over the place. Highly don't recommend.

This class was terrible. She is no help if you have questions in regards to an experiment. Very tough grader. Would grade off correctness and grammar even though most of the questions on quiz did not involve equipment we used or an experiment done. Used an AI voice reader to read aloud or skimmed the powerpoints super quickly. DO NOT TAKE!

She dosent want to help you during lab. She uses AI to read the procedure and her grading is all over the place. Everytime I asked her a question she would seem annoyed and wasn't very knowledgeable or helpful. You are going to have to learn EVERYTHING by yourself if you take this class. and she always has your grade on lock so you can't see it

She truly doesn't care about her students education at all. She has AI read the ENTIRE introduction and procedure (which you have to read in order to do the pre lab) and proceeds to sit in the front of the class reading emails and grading. Which is ironic because you can't see your grade until after the semester ends. I hated her class

This lady uses an AI reader to explain the labs, doesn't teach anything at all, and then sets you loose in the lab with little to no instructions to try to poke your way through the lab. Her canvas grades are locked you have to add up all your assignments and figure it out yourself (her words), and she acts annoyed when you ask her questions.

DO NOT TAKE especially if you have any accommodations. She does not care about your accommodations and will fight you. Not sure if she has Tenure but uses it for her advantage. Uses a AI reader to read lab instructions. Lets you loose with little to no knowledge of what the lab instructions are. Extremely judgmental and can have an attitude.

Do not take her class. She doesn't help, only uses IA reading for lab instructions, and gives no feedback. Grades aren't posted until the end semester, so you don't know if you're passing or failing. Only one lab makeup allowed. No support, no teaching, just stress. Avoid if you can.

Easily the worst instructor I've ever had — completely unhelpful, dismissive, and doesn't actually teach. Labs are introduced by an AI voice with zero explanation, questions are ignored, and grades are hidden with no transparency. Everything I learned came from YouTube and classmates, not her — this class was a waste of time, money, and sanity.
