She is a great professor! It's very rare that the things she does are confusing. A great lecturer because she actually does problems in class, unlike some other Chem teachers. She fully explains what she does and she is always available for office hours where she is very helpful. I would recommend her. Do textbook problems for test practice.

Had her for discussion, it was AMAZING. Every question I had she answered and waited there and helped until I understood. Her and Ewa Stec are a power duo for Chem101.

She deserves more rates. She takes the class step by step and you get a good grasp of everything. Theres a worksheet to work through in every lecture and she goes over the problems w you. You have to memorize polyatomics and do conversions. HW/Sapling due every Thurs. Daily clickers. Quiz/tests on Friday weigh alot but do HW/discussion to practice

She's honestly an amazing professor. She makes the material easy to understand because she guides you along the process as she lectures. Very thoughtful and kind also. Just. Take. Her. Class. You won't regret it.

The teacher goes over problems in class so if you pay attention the homework, quizzes, and tests should not be every difficult. Even if this is a 101 class, study. If you don't open your notes, it will be hard to get an A in the class but you might pass with a B or an C. She also uploads notes and problems done in class which is always useful.

She is nice and fun.

If you are looking for an easy Chem 101 teacher, Lianne is your best choice. She is great at teaching, provides great example problems, and actually works through the chemistry problems with you in class. I have struggled with Chemistry for a year now, and Lianne has made things so much simpler and easier to understand.

This professor is amazing. I had chem 101 with her and she helped me a lot. She is better than all the chemistry professors I have had. I also had an amazing T.A this semester and I feel like they worked hard and cared for students. She would sometimes give an extra point on the exams or quizzes if she made a math error. She is amazing.

I didn't understand chem in highschool nor when i took chem 121 as a freshmen at UIC. 5 years later i placed into chem 101 and now feel confident in chemistry. that sour taste in my mouth from chem 121 five years ago has now vanished. This fast paced 4 week summer course was organized very well and i highly recommend this course and professor.

Prof. Schroeder is great. She really cares that you do well and actually understand the material. I disagree with the reviews calling her a tough grader. She's very fair, and everything is laid out in the syllabus so you should know what to expect. Goes the extra mile to explain something if you don't get it. Go to lecture for clicker points.

Shes a tough grader but she teaches really good. Theres homework every week. Its easy for your grade to drop but hard to bring it back up. Make sure you do all the work. Tests and quizzes are okay but are graded toughly.

Overall, Prof Schroeder is pretty good. It helps to read the textbook sections to understand what she is saying sometimes she can go a little fast in lecture. Attendance isn't mandatory but she does give clicker points which helps your grade a bit. Do the online homework and show up to lecture you will probably do pretty well on the tests.

She is a great teacher and will go over everything that will be on tests/quizzes. The manual is a big help and makes the lectures easier to follow. Never any surprises on the tests, but you'll definitely have to go to lecture if you want to do well.

Lianne is great! She goes through example problems and explains well in lecture. For this class, you need an access code for homework (comes with ebook), course manual, and a clickr for participation points. I had no experience in chem before so office hours were great, I got an A in the class. Final Grade is exam/quiz heavy. Do well on them.

I dont think I have ever had a better lecture professor than Dr. Schroeder. Within a 50 minute lecture she manages to make the content that we are supposed to learn very understandable and easy to make sense of. This is coming from a person who used to have absolutely terrible chemistry skills. If you get the chance, take her class.

Dr. Schroeder was a good professor, possibly the best for Chem 101. Her lectures were easy to understand, and didn't totally read off the powerpoints but rather explained in her own easy terminology. Exams/quizzes were EZ if you pay attention in class and do homework. I never had to see her outside of class if I had questions but she's accessible.

The best professor I have taken so far. She explained all the concepts in class in detail. She even gives extra credit if she makes a mistake in one of the practice problems. Tests were easy if you payed attention in class. She relies on lecture slides but she doesnt read straight off the slides, she instead summarized it in a couple of sentences.

great teacher, go to lectures they will help a ton!

Show up to Lectures, actually try on your homework, and you should be fine. It was an easy A, basic Chemistry concepts.

good option for chem 101 compared to other professors. Some say she cares more about catching students cheating but dont take into consideration that she clearly said to not use the internet for some equations because they give wrong formulas and they still did&got caught. Weekly homework/lecture quizzes. Big quizzes every two weeks. Final/Midterm

Dr. S Is amazing! the way chem 122 is tight at UIC is not her fault. She does her best to help every student and even encourages students who are struggling. Not an easy A or B. However she was amazing at her job.

Literally would not pick another teacher for Chemistry! I had her for chem 101 and chem 122 and she's just amazing! I hate chemistry and I genuinely do not understand it but she makes it easy to understand if you do the work & study!!! such a shame she doesn't teach general chem 2 otherwise I would pick her in a heartbeat!

Overall my learning experience with Dr. Schroeder was really good, she's really good at explaining the lessons so as long as you pay attention to the lectures and reinforce what you've learnt by doing the homework and discussion worksheets you'll definitely do good.

Professor Schroeder is a solid choice for CHEM101 out of all the other professors IMO. Her lectures are easy to understand considering I did poorly in CHEM back in HS. Make sure to participate in the discussions and answer the clicker questions during her lectures and I'm sure you should do fine on the tests. JUST DON'T CHEAT!

Dr. Schroeder is a great professor. She gives good lectures and will slow down and go over material again if you ask her to, making comprehension and notetaking easier. You will succeed if you review material and ask for help. Yes, she catches students out on cheating. Just don't cheat. If you have to cheat for Chem 101, maybe STEM isn't for you.

Dr. S is a tough prof but is very helpful if you put the effort in. She holds pre-exam tutoring sessions that you should definitely go to. Take good notes during lectures and do your homework to make up for possible bad test grade.

Great professor! I agree she is strict about exams but the material isn't too bad considering this is an intro class. Her lectures and powerpoints were extremely helpful for me, she thoroughly explains the material and encourages participation. Watch/pay attention to all the lectures (she recorded them), practice the problems, and you're good!

She was so rushed in lectures and doesn't have pre-exam review session. It's very to catch up with class materials.

she's amazing y'all are just haters it's not her fault lol that chem is very test based

She's the best Chem 101 professor. She answers all your questions and even runs up the lecture hall if you have a question or if you want her to check your work!

Very good professor with her lectures being clear and will slow down if needed. She answers questions when needed along with lenient grading

The professor's lectures do move quickly, however, she posts all lecture material after class. She is very easy to understand, and she is completely willing to help students if necessary. The homework is pretty easy, and it does not have a heavy weight on your grade. All you have to do to perform well in the class is attend lectures and do homework

Lectures can go really fast because of the amount of content that needed to be covered, but Dr. Schroeder tried her best to help us catch up with everything. Her drop-in hours are great and she always answers questions. There's a textbook, she says that it's mandatory reading but honestly I got all the information I needed from the lecture slides.

Professor Schroeder was very knowledgeable and made me feel welcomed into UIC. She always gave us dates and reminders for upcoming test/homework and made the class enjoyable. While most of the points are from tests, the tests are generally easy considering you come to class and do the work. This class is really what you put into you get out.

She is a really decent professor, I think she's the best out of all of the Chem101 professors in UIC. When she assigns. work, it's consistent. A lot of ALEKS, lectures are important, and discussion classes are good to attend if you're having trouble. She prepares you well, it's mostly time management when it comes to studying for exam.

People say she's really bad and whatever, but shes not THAT bad. Yes, the lectures can go pretty fast but she uploads completed ones after class, so you could just look back at them. The class isn't too bad as long as you pay attention to lectures and visit the mslc if you need it. honestly though its college.....no one said its gonna be easy.

Dr. Schroeder is nice, She has everything prepared and of course, chemistry is not something you can crammed in a night before the exam so make sure that you are spending your time studying from the beginning of the semester. Curve grade will depend on the average of the class. Extra credits are given during the semester.

Main key to succes in this class is to do the Aleks and re-do pre-discussion worksheets until you have the material down. This class requires time and effort so make sure to be studying at least a week before the exam to cover all the content. If you have any questions go to the MSLC, they helped me a lot throughout the semester. Good class.

I loved her lectures. I feel like she broke chemistry down up and allowed me to really understand the concept. Chemistry in itself is such a difficult subject, but Dr. Schroeder is an excellent professor to teach this especially if it's chem 101. I wish she was teaching Chem 122/123 so I could take her again. She's kinda rude when you talk fyi too.

Schroeder is an amazing professor. Her class is very engaging. Her slides were really organized and helpful. She really cares about helping her students. She has office hours often and they are very helpful. Keep track of the slides and take notes during class and do practice problems in the textbook.

She is a great teacher. I previously had issues with learning chemistry but in her class, it was so easy. Her lectures are very organized and have a great pace. As long as you listen to the in class lectures and do all the practice/hw on aleks, you should be good. I was able to get 100% on multiple tests when in high school I'd get 70's.

She's a great professor. She explains things very thoroughly and provides visuals during her lectures. Homework is weekly and on ALEKS (you have to pay for it). Review her slides after class because she can sometimes gloss over important material since she wants to cover other bigger topics. Heavy on the Iclickers, which is understandable.

I hate chem, but her teaching style was very helpful. Her use of clickers forces you to apply what you just learned (if you don't read the online textbook (i didn't)), so that kinda sucked. For the most part, the work was manageable. You have Aleks lessons & hw weekly, which count for a few points. The tests make up the majority of your grade, tho

Awesome professor. She goes through slides a little fast but the pace was just right for me. She is very well spoken and is very clear throughout her lectures. Overall an easy and fun class.

Great prof

I don't understand why people giving her bad reviews. She was one of my favorite professors of all time. She was really clear with lectures, homeworks. She made her lectures very interesting and easy to cope with. However, her class required lots of homework done within a span of one week. Unfortunately, tests are heavy, but ALEKS helps a lot!

Schroeder is great.She helped me when the chemistry department couldn't on an issue.During her lectures she can go quickly, the slides are posted and you can refer back. You have to buy Aleks. I think that if you do Aleks without help and do the review problems on Aleks for each chapter in the etextbook, then you'll do good in class.

Chem is hard. She broke it down amazing for us, she went through lectures quickly and would even finish class early some times. Never shoved lectures at you, she was fun. Didn't expect you to learn everything on the 1st try. She didn't like when people spoke over her. But she was really nice and very helpful. I recommend her A LOT.

There were quite a bit of things to do every week for this class but it was doable. The content can be hard at times but if you dedicate time to it you'll do well. She genuinely wants you to learn and grow as a student.

Be prepared to study quite a bit for this course; lots of things to study and remember. Exams fit perfectly with in-class assignments, and lectures are interesting.

It really takes time to warm up to her. If you show up to the MSLC and prove that you are trying, she WILL find ways to help you. Lectures are very important to pay attention to, or else you will be confused. Most grades come from ALEKS, so make sure those are always done. Exams are fairly hard, but if you study, I promise you will be okay.

Awesome Love it

I loved Lianne Schroeder and this class so much. I hated chemistry in high school but I found out I love chemistry overall through this class. The assignments and quizzes set you up for success. The lectures can move fast but if you pay attention for the 50 minutes, finish the online assignments, and study, you will receive a good grade. 

normal class not as hard as people make it out to be just take notes

During her lectures she writes down things on the slides and does the problems with us which helps a lot because it gives a visual. Before exams and quizzes she gives us a topic guide to study and it's very accurate, she's honestly the best Chem 101 teacher.

she writes on the lecture slides to help guide us to understand the material better and I think it really helps. for word problems, she goes through it step by step. occasionally she would walk around the classroom to answer questions when she gives us time to work on word problems. she's overall really great iclicker is used btw

Schroeder is a very good professor. I don't understand why she is rated so low. You can tell she cares, and her lecture are easy to follow. I will say sometimes she is a bit passive aggressive, but it was deserved. If you have to take CHEM101 she is 100% the best option.

I used to hope someone would mug me while walking to class so I wouldn't have to go, but that's just because I'm overdramatic. She does give you all the resources you need to pass; you just have to study. 100% prefer her compared to the other Chem 101 profs.

Absolutely loved my time in her class. She's an amazing person who cares about her students' understanding. She gives you everything you need to succeed through the slides she uses to teach. Be sure to attend the lectures, as iClickers will be available for participation points.
