She is a great Professor! She takes longer than any of the other professors on chapters to make sure her students get the material. Just like any science or math class, it is important to go every day. I feel I could have done well had I not missed due to medical reasons, causing me to withdraw. I would take her again though for this course.

Very clear in her expectations of her students. Very heavy on homework. You have to write out the whole lab in the lab notebook before class and do the quiz. The most difficult thing was that the lecture didn't line up with the lab so you may end up teaching yourself most of the time. The professor still assists in helping you understand.

I was going to say she was fine/average, but then remembered how the thought of emailing or talking to her because I made a mistake on an assignment and asking for help or advice made me want to throw up like the whole semester because of the verbal abuse that would ensue made me think otherwise. Good reviews are sus. Whole class agrees.

Lilia is strict & very clear with the expectation, but it is a LAB class. I asked her for help so many times & she was always very patient & would go out of her way to make time for me. I've had her 2x & I don't think she was ever disrespectful to students - she is straight forward though. I would take her for every chemistry class if I could!

Prof White is willing to help you succeed and is very accessible. The workload for a 1 credit class sure felt like a lot but that was a department choice and not hers. If you come to class prepared and read the rubric for the lab reports carefully as you write them, you'll be fine. An A is doable if you're willing to do the work outside of class

Prof. White is definitely an intimidating lab instructor, but doesn't lack respect or care. With her heavy accent, it can be hard to tell if she is being rude, but I believe she is straightforward and honest. Students can feel hurt by her repeating important instructions, but her best interest is to keep the lab safe. I loved having her!

I find it interesting this professor has many 5/5 reviews, and so many reviews in general when most professors at this university (who have been teaching a comparable amount of time) have way less reviews, specifically professors that are known "favorites" while Prof. White doesn't exactly have the same reputation IRL.
