very easy class, very nice prof, an A is easy to attain. take her!!!

It is a disservice to Towson that this woman isnt teaching upper level

I had a 97 and so can you. She's easy.

More dedicated to your success than even you are. Very personable and helpful. Great teacher!

Lina ROCKS!!! She only wants to help you. She's easy because she is clear and explains things so well. Universities should take note: The PHd doesnt mean you can teach- lina should have a full professorship!!

VERY easy...A little strange, but what science teacher isn't? She's the best. TAKE HER!

You have to study chemistry to learn it, but Prof.Ladon really makes it fun. AND she shares lots of information about the application of the course, so you know where in the real world the information is used. VERY GOOD PROFESSOR!!!

Great professor. Test are semi-difficult but you will learn a lot from her. I have taken her twice already for two different Chem classes.

She gives great lectures and her test are reasonable but she is a bit unorganized

The best chem teacher I have had, runs the chem tutoring center so you can always go to her for help, great plus!!

so willing to help her students. i've never had a prof. more eager to help her students after class. she is personable, and odd, but knowledgable of the topic. she does experiments for the class to help you visualize what she's talking about.

easy got a B and very realxed on grading, gives you many opportunities to do well in her class, take her I don't even like science but she did her best to make it interesting

I am getting an A or a B in this class..how awesome..without Ladon as a professor this might not have been possible. Lectures are excellent and exams are tricky but A's are very possible! Go Lina!!

Ladon makes Chemistry easy and understandable. Works harder than some students to make the class work. Clear directions and high expectations. Runs tutoring center in Chem and helps explain EVERYTHING chemistry related. #1 chemistry choice.

Very helpful! take her!

she gives you the option of taking the last test. got an A. she knows everything about science. and tests right from her notes. never touched the book.

Very knowledgable about her material and gives practical application. Practically lives in Chem tutoring center; loves to answer your questions. Would recommend her, but don't expect an easy ride. Stickler when it comes to accuracy.

Hard class, hard material, hard teacher. She is very specific on what she wants on an exam. Study a lot and I promise an A is possible!!

Very nice lady but hard tests. I was very surprised I got an A in that class!

Easy class...just show up and take notes...shes nice and offers many opportunities for tutoring.

If you take notes, you will do well. Really cares if ask questions. Textbook?? Yea right...I got a B without stuiding or text or without doing half the labs! If you think she is tough...HA HA! Try studying ****, it might work...

she's really cool, has a good sense of humor, and uses helpful analogies to explain stuff. she is always willing to help.

She is a good teacher, very helpful, really tries to get you to learna nd understand, wants you to ask questions, always available in tutoring center, only downfall is it takes her a while to get work back, but tests are normally back the next class, definetly worthwhile to take!

i absolutely loved prof. ladon, easy class, takes attendance but doesnt really pay attention to it, tests are easy if you study, lots of notes to take, i def. recommend taking this class to satisfy a gen ed

Liina is the best Chem teacher I have ever had. She def knows her stuff and if you pay attention in class and go to her in the tutoring center you will ace her class. She posts old exams on her website and if you can know how to do those you will ace her tests. Def reccomend her

She is the best! Old tests posted online, and they are virtually the same as the tests she gives in class. Writes her notes out on the board for you. Always willing to help. Easy grader on labs. I got an F on a test, and still managed a B+. Take her, you won't regret it!

could have been worse, good gen ed. gives u study sheets but tests usually have more then whats on sheets. tests still arent THAT hard, got a B+ when i kinda fell asleep in class and just wrote what she had on the board

She is such a great teacher. All you need to know comes right from her lecture notes. You don't even need to read the book. The tests are easy as long as you study her notes. If you don't understand she is always willing to help. I was upset when I found she didn't teach organic. Loved her!

Highly recommend. Liina is an amazing teacher and is head of the tutoring center. If she is a tutor imagine what she can do in a classroom...exams come right out of lecture. Highly recommend taking Liina! I plan to take her for Chem 106, when she teaches it :-).

Prolly the best and easiest teacher here. If u dont understand she'll stop and make sure u understand. lectures from the text so only read if u want to hit info home. Weekly quizzes on stuff u learn to keep u on track-they're easy. three tests mostly calculations u learn in class, based on problems from the book-do problems in the book. A MUST TAKE

She will help you with anything you need to know. Her tests are from the notes and you don't need the book. Very nice, gives easy quizzes to help boost your grade.

take dis class!! shes gives pop quizes about once a week but its easy. She wont move on if some students dont understand da subject. She really cares bout their grades n education. It gets borin sumtimes but hey, skool isnt always fun.

Awesome Professor....Take Her!!

I was surprised to find chemistry fun and very do-able, and I owe it all to LL. While I am very grateful for how well I now know the material we *did* cover, we were several chapters short of her semester plan, b/c the majority of students didn't study/memorize, so she slowed down the class for them--for weeks. That is my only complaint.

She is the best chem teacher in the whole world. Very good @ explaining things and will go over any questions u have @ beginning of class. You will have to study the material (more than just a quick glance) if u plan on getting an A. U can't fail this class unless u don't review. Always review past exam material if u want to pass cumulative final.

THE BEST CHEM TEACHER EVER!!! I love chemistry because of her. I reccomend her to everybody that needs help with chemistry. The key to chemistry is agood teacher and she is great at what she does. She Makes everything clear and simple. If u dont understand ask. The BEST CHEM TEACHER!!!

Prof. Ladon is extemely wonderful prof. but my only issue is there is lot of work to do in this...every week there is a quiz..lab reports with too much detials...overall very time consuming class for a gened...I would prefer taking something else than this class

Great professor, very helpful and understanding. Really makes sure you understand the concepts and is always willing to help. She is great at explaining chemistry in an easy way. You definitely have to study but once you see how her tests are, its not to bad. Def take her

i took her class over the summer and it was great. i ended up with an A- in it. her lectures are clear, her labs are awesome. she gives great help if you ask for it. i had to study 8 hours a day but that's because its chemistry and i took it in 5 weeks. you cant expect to take a hard class in a short time period and not work for it. take her!

with no previous background in Chemistry, and after hating Chem during the first few wks of class, she helped me like it more. When I started putting forth more effort to learn it, she helped me more and the better i understood it. I can actually say I like Chem because of her. She's willing to help whenever she can. You just have to want to be hel

Awesome Professor! She made Chemistry easy and interesting. She teaches you tricks and shortcuts involving the hardest parts of general chemistry which makes the class and chemistry in general so much easier. I HIGHLY recommend her for Chem 110 and 111.

Great teacher. Explains everything clearly. Very easy to get a good grade if you listen to lecture and take good notes. Take her!!

As a lab teacher she was pretty good. She would practically give you the answers, but if you don't remember anything from chem 110, then don't take chem 111 at all (duh!) it just takes some attention to her lectures to do well.

Very Helpful.

She is an amazing professor. If you have a hard time understanding concepts just go to her tutoring and ask for help. She is a sweet person. If you don't ask for help you might not do as great in the class considering chemistry is hard. Take her!

Doable class. She sticks to the textbook. Do the practice problems and you will be fine. Come prepared with questions and she will help you out. Does not always get into the theory, so if you really want to understand, look elsewhere. She'll teach you how to do the problems for the test and that's it. She loves chemistry and is very approachable.

I only used her notes for the whole semester like I never opened the book and still got A-. Pay attention in class and you can easily understand her. She is very fair and willing to help. Be responsible this is college dont expect easy A's and dont be influenced by negative reviews. Take HER !

I loved this class. Professor Ladon made it easy. Her final exam was based off of past exam questions and example questions. She pretty much stuck to the book. Her tests are not hard as long as you pay attention in class and study a few days prior.

Ladon is a great professor, she is a little disorganizedscatter brained, but she knows what she's doing. She explains concepts in multiple ways and very clearly. Ask questions, attend class, study, and actually do the learnsmart assignments, and you will pass. If you need to talk to her do it in person, she reples late if at all to email.

Super helpful, she runs the chemistry tutoring center so she is always in there an willing to help- but you have to be willing to go for help. She is very straight forward- absolutely no surprises on tests but they are a little long if you do not know the material well. The best chem teacher that Towson has by far!

Dr Ladon is one of the best chemistry teachers at Towson. Her exams are straight forward and an exact replica of the examples she does in class and on her website, so go over them. She does gives pop-up quizzes, nothing too dramatic just to encourage you to study. She drops 3 of your lowest quizzes.

Great professor. She's always willing to help you after class or during her office hours. There was a good amount of HW and quizzes, the majority on Chem Connect. Annoying, but it's that way with all the chem classes. The only reason I didn't do well was because I couldn't catch up after I'd let myself fall behind. Will take her again if I can!

I had her for 131&132. She can be a little scattered but she's really smart and very willing to help. She cares a lot and even runs the tutoring center. I didn't use the text at all in 131, but used it a lot in 132. An A is not impossible, you just have to practice equations over and over until they're easy. Chem is hard, learn how to study!

Ms. Ladon is a really good chemistry professor. She writes out notes for her lectures instead of reading off the powerpoint like a lot of professors. She is really passionate about chemistry and wants her students to succeed. She explains things well but expects A LOT of studying to be done outside of class. Her tests are hard, but not impossible.

Very nice professor. Writes out notes with you. Really cares about every student. 4 exams and 7 quizzes. Taking her again for chem 132!

dr. ladon is amazing. everything you see on the exams are fair game. she will not surprise you will anything you have not seen before. shes patient and will help you with any questions you have. she is clearly passionate about her teachings and is 99% of the time available in the tutoring center. i wish she taught upper chem classes or id take her!

I had at 89.7% and she gave me a B+ and never answered any of my emails. Super rude but fair. Does not curve or gives out extra credit

The material she covers in class is what she expects you to know for exams. Her grading criteria is very clear. She's a wonderful professor and I would take her for all chemistry classes is she taught them. You have to study for this class Chemistry is not an easy A class.

Ladon is the better chem 1 & 2 professor. Wonder why her classes fill up first? Her tests are usually predictable since they mirror the example probs she gives in class. Quizzes are usually one or two problems to test your knowledge and she really encourages that you ask questions. She likes when people ask questions since she knows ur paying attn.

You can easily tell that Dr. Ladon is passionate about what she is teaching and she teaches in a way that is easy to understand. She gives a lot of examples in class and the examples are usually almost exactly what will be on the exam. I would just do as many practice problems as possible and make sure to go over EVERYTHING before the final.

Prof. Ladon is the best General Chemistry instructor at Towson. She is very passionate about her subject. She encourages her students to ask questions and seek help if they need it. She runs the tutoring center. Her exams are difficult, but fair and come from lectured material. Lectures include a lot of examples. I definitely recommend her!

Shes in charge of the tutoring center so shes really helpful outside of class. Her exams are straightforward and arent hard but theyre something you really have to study for like any other lecture class. You cover a lot of material in one class so try not to miss class. I only got a C because I was completely horrible on my first exam.

Hard Class but Ms. Ladon is probably the best teacher in the department. Shes very good at explaining the material even though the material is tough. She doesn't take attendance but its hard to catch up if you miss a lecture.

Pretty tough professor for gen chem but walks through material as easiest as possible to understand to help you practice. Exams are tough but fair. PRACTICE as much as you can ahead of time to do well. She runs the tutoring center too, so see her there if youre struggling. Very helpful.

Ms. Ladon is very helpful, she also runs the tutoring center. For a hard class like chem131, she breaks the material down very well although she tends to go off track sometimes. The exams are very straightforward and direct, there wont be anything you didnt learn. The four exams basically make up your grade. B in the class.

Honestly this wasn't a bad professor at all. She does not follow the syllabus because she asks the students their opinions on when tests/homework should be due. She teaches quickly but is open for questions and use the chem extra help center!

She is a fair grader and tells you what you need to know for the exams. She can be a little rough around the edges but overall is a good professor and teaches the material in a manner where everyone can understand. As long as you study and practice for the exams, the class is not that bad.

Professor Ladon is very caring, but she can be a bit off. She is very disorganized and often misplaces a lot. I really enjoy how she handwrites all of her notes on a projector, but her handwriting could be better. Just study for her exams and do the homework and you should be straight

She really isn't as bad as the reviews make her seem. The weekly 20-minute quizzes are annoying but that is a chem department thing, not her fault. I found her worked out problems during class useful, although she could move slower. She tries her best to work with her students and if you study the right way, you'll pass.
