She makes you work, but you learn a lot. Her students do well in future classes.

Openly excited about what she teaches, which always helps in a teacher.Not an amazingly polished lecturer, but she is fairly new and gets the point across well.Overall, a good very teacher if you are a hands-on learner (she gives weekly/daily homework).

Linda Nuss is actually a wonderful teacher. She gives you handouts each unit and walks you through each problem. Her lectures are very basic, but easy to follow. I personally felt "spoon fed" through the course.

She is a good tacher who is excited about what she is teaching. She gives lots of examples about applicatins of chemistry to everyday life. She has an open door policy - not just during office hours.

She was a good teacher, but if you're not willing to do a little busy work and go to class, it's a hard class. Her lectures were really clear. There was homework and quizzes just about every week so its easy to get a bad grade by falling behind

Nuss is very clear on her lectures. However, she does give you homework (crossword puzzle & book problems) and a quiz each week. She is a nice lady (on most days), but like someone had said, she is a little short fused in lab. My lab partner had recently experienced that in lab when she asked Nuss for help.

She is excited about Chem and not afraid to show it. She is a moderately hard teacher-you need to study hard to pass! Don't slack off or you will not do well.

not easy to pass. Not intelegent enogh for a professor. does not know answers at some Q. explains material very good trying hard to do her job very helpfull

Great professor. She saved us from another horrible professor. very helpful and organized. She put her life on hold to make sure everyone passed the class. Very enthusiastic and don't listen to the other posts! she really is a great professor.

Great professor!Great demos!Made class interesting for students who had to deal with CHEM from 8am-3pm every Sat. Teaching methods are clear & organized. She takes education seriously and as long as you keep up with the homework,quizzes & lectures you should do fine. If you don't have time to study, don't blame her cuz she does present her best.

She is super organized and knows how to explain things clearly. She has a great disposition and seems to enjoy teaching. I took Chem 317 with her and it helped a lot with Chem 305.

She was AWESOME! This is a hard subject and she made as understandable as possible. There is a lot of homework and studying that needs to be done and if you make the effort she will do everything she can to make sure you understand. She SAVED our Saturday class and sacrified some important things in her family life to do it. I highly recommend her!

This is a difficult class especially if you're not willing to put in the time and effort. Our class suffered severely until Nuss took over. She explained things in a clear and concise manner and was amazingly organized. She was more than willing to explain things over until you understood. Couldn't have passed without the Chem 317 class!

Miss Nuss is a very helpful, understanding, organized, and kind person. Her class and teaching style is what everybody needs to learn this subject. She is willing to help anytime you ask her and will explain till you understand. She is very patient and class oriented teacher. you have to study a lot for this class and this is the key to success.

Had this class in the Fall. Linda is so helpful and passionate about her teaching. She cares. If you have trouble, go into her office because she can explain any concept so that a child could understand. I wish I had had her for 305 because she really prepares a person for Micro. She is a wonderful instructor and person.

Ms Nuss is a great lecturer. She is a commited professor and has great web site info. I feel very pleased tyo be in her Chem class

this teacher is awsome...she's such a great teacher ever..although the class is hard, but if you study your note for the quiz you'l be fine. but one thing you must do (be accurate on your lab)do it correctly w/ur partner DO NOT COPY SHE HATE CHEATING very much she grades hard but fairly she funny and awsome in lecture also she prepare for online th

Difficult subject & lots of work but Prof Nuss keeps scheduled office hours and is willing to help anyone who has any questions.

Prof. Nuss is very organized and easy to follow. She also encourages people to stop by her office hour to get needed help.

She's one tough cookie. Keys to her old quizzes/exams are on her website and it REALLY helps to study them. Take notes and study your notes as well. Her lab quizzes are open notebook. Know your significant figures because she takes of minor points for every single one she finds(those sig figs add up!).

Wow, she got horrible ratings for the Chem 401 series. She wasn't that bad, just study the keys to her old exams/quizzes and you'll be fine! Yes, lectures ARE boring...but stay awake and take notes. The notes will help you a lot on her exams. She also gives out review exams + the key. I only studied a day before her exams and I still got an A.

Nuss is a challenge. Study the practice exams!!! And lectures are mandatory. Especially if you're not sure of the materials. She is very helpful, but only if you let her know you need it. Her exams are fair and her lectures ARE helpful. She is also always on top of things. I would take her again.

Great chemistry teacher! I've had other chemistry teachers at this school and they were plain awful at teaching chemistry; they taught you how to solve problems without teaching the concepts behind it, but Prof. Nuss taught both, and well too. Class can be pretty challenging, but it's worth it. She's always willing to help; you just have to ask.

Professor Nuss is extremely concerned about the progress of her students and their understanding of the material presented. She material in lecture is presented in a comprehensive and clear manner. There is much emphasis on quizzes and tests, so be prepared. Her labs were a good summation of the lecture material.

A rare chemistry professor. She cares about her students and teaches chemistry very clearly. Her tests and quizzes are based on notes and textbooks. Every lab is related to class. She gives 110% every day.

BEST INSTRUCTOR IN SCC!!EASY TO GET AN A ^_^

The worse teacher ever! Her lec notes and textbook have nothing to do with the test. She tries to confuse you with the questions she asks on the test. She is never striaght forward at all and always tries to confuse you. Doing well on homework and labs wont help you in the class. I"ve always recieved A's in chemistry and she gave me my first F!

Prof. Nuss is such a good teacher! Her tests are solely based on lectures and are fairly easy. You just have to look over your notes & she even has past exams for you to study from. She is just a little picky with the lab notebooks.

I really learned a lot in this class. As long as you do the online homework and all the lab write-ups you shoould be OK. Be sure to check-out the old exams and review sheets she has on her web page. They really help a lot. The text is helpfull, but the exams come mostly from her lecture notes, so try not to miss class!

Professor Nuss made a tough subject understandable. She was always willing to help any time I had a question. She is by far the best science teacher I have had!

Tetxbook is unecessary, just buy the access code. She is very clear. Don't underestimate her class. Working hard is mandatory. Buy the materials and always be prepared. She is very strict about lab. Ask lots of questions and participate in class actively. Study her previous exams. LOTS of math involved, so make sure you know how to solve problems.

Good teacher. Can be annoying. Very intelligent. Lots of hw and lab work. I only studies 2-3 days before tests (4+Final) and always did well. TONS of calculations, get good calculator!

Dr Nuss is awesome. Chem is SO hard for me but she is clear, consistent and helpful. The class was very tough and she is quite strict but very fair in her grading. I learned a ton. I have never been prouder of getting a B in my whole life b/c I have struggled so much with chem. Don't expect to get much sympathy if you aren't working hard though.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to do all of the homework (online and discussion worksheets) in this class. Since the emphasis is on calculations, the more you do the better off you will be. Her test are lecture dependent, so go to class! She is quite helpful if you have questions, so go to her office hours if you need help!

Overall, she is a great instructor. Lecture is straight. Test comes from this lecture-no twist or surprise in the exam but must be quick to answer in a short time. However, if you are working, don't take this class. There are tons of HW and lab write up. If you really want to learn the chem, go ahead and take it. She is a master for this course.

She is a great professor. You will learn a lot. You have a guranteed A if you read the textbook, pay attention and take notes during lecture, do your best in lab, go to beacon, do practice exams, and do the mastering chem throughly. Sounds like a lot, but its not. I did it and got an easy A. BEST CHEM PROF ever

Very good professor, definitely knows her stuff. It's not an easy class but very manageable, no surprises on her tests and she does give practice exams and tons of worksheets which do help. Mastering chem is essential to get the proper amount of practice when doing calculations (there are a lot in this class). An A is attainable with hard work!

Nuss is super organized, after having her you will be disappointed with other teacher because they will not seem as organized. she is realistic about the amount of work she is giving (its alot for this class) and within reason allows late/or extensions sometimes for reduced points. you must have your prelab done!

She somehow managed to make Chem 401 very easy. The class was not bad at all. You do need to put in your time, but an A is very attainable.

Very passionate and helpful, she will answer questions and clarify as needed. Labs go with material covered and are very useful in understanding material. Reading before lecture is required and that is very useful academically, also easy points on reading quizzes! Tests are not difficult and homework is relevant. With her, CHEM401 was a breeze!

Nuss is a great teacher. She gets cranky real fast if you don't listen to her. Overall the class was relatively easy. I have a more difficult time in Chem than Bio and I still got an A, but their was a lot of studying involved. Read the book before class and work the sample problems before class and you'll get an A too!

La La Loove Nuss! I'm so glad i took her! Only thing hard was getting to class at 8am but other then that she is super helpful, approachable, and sweet. She is super organized, from reading quizzes, to lab, to exams, etc. don't get me wrong, it's a lot of work, but everything helps you understand the material

Hard class. If you are a lazy student you will not pass. This class takes effort and that is a good thing. Prof Nuss is a good teacher that has to cram a lot of info in just one semester. Pay attention and do your HW. Study for the exams and you will be fine. Approachable during office hours. Take her for sure if you are majoring in CHEM.

Prof. Nuss is good teacher,she can be tough and a bit picky but this subject is very dense so she doesn't really have a choice but to move at a faster teaching pace. This class is A LOT of work. Homework takes long hours, studying is definitely mandatory, and pay full attention to lecture or you will easily fall behind. I would take her again.

Mrs, Nuss is a good teacher. That said, you will need to dedicate 5 to 15 hours per week to HW and study because this is science, and science is a (worthwhile) challenge. Knowing or brushing up on fractions will help you, as will taking CHEM 317 concurrently. If you're dedicated she'll make sure you're equipped with the resources you need to pass.

She is amazing! Very professional. Lectures are very interesting. She is clear and always willing to help. Only 3 tests. Extra points are in tests and quizzes. In test everything that she is giving in lectures. No surprises. Very fair. I am an ESL student and I got a high "A" in her class. If you are on chem or med career, take only her. I will!

She is a very good teacher she will say in the first class meeting that you cannot pass if you don't do the homework and she is telling the honest truth. She likes to make sure everything is clear before moving on and will always help you when needed. Only 3 exams and e.c. on quizzes it's really not hard if you pay attention. I definitely recommend

Prof. Nuss is a great teacher. She will give you every tool needed to get through the class . This is one of the hardest classes you will take and you need a teacher who is present and available. As long as you do the homework, study, apply yourself, ect, you will pass. She will make every effort to help you pass.

Hard class, but you have to expect that with Chem. Its not easy. Prof Nuss lectures from notes. Dont just take notes from what she puts on the board, be sure to write down what she says as well. Easy points for hw and lots of extra credit opportunities. Be prepared to study at least 20 hrs a week. Very nice lady, will help you if you ask for it.

Nuss has a great teaching criteria on what each student should know in order to be successful in the class. Her lectures are long but are well understood. She gives 3 exams and 1 final which are really tough. Study guides are given but don't really help you at all. Homework is done online but be ready for a load of it. Gives extra credit. Focus!!!

This is a class that requires a lot of time and effort, but it isn't impossible. She is clear, and will help you if you ask for it. She gives extra credit on every test and homework assignment. You will definitely benefit from a study group for this class. I was able to pass with an A. I would absolutely take another chemistry class with her.

Professor Nuss is really good. I found her so helpful. I usually go to her office hours if i dont understand anything & she always help me out. Exams are not bad if you do the homework and pay attention to lecture notes then you should be fine. She gave alot of extra credit points in hw as well as in exams. she is straightforward in what she wants.

Professor has high expectations, taking partial points off of small things such as sig figs. However, if you put forth the effort by doing the HW, attending labs, not skipping lectures, she is thorough in her lectures. Likes to give chapter quizzes that act as a litmus test to see how you are doing before unit exams. Lots of chances for points.

Her lectures are in-depth and writes her exams based on what she thought in class. If you have a hard time understanding something she takes her time to explain the process. If you participate in the Beacon tutoring you get extra credit. She also post previous exams as help tools for exam prep. She's amazing!

Take notes during lectures and you'll get an easy A. I only used the textbook when doing homework for exams I only reviewed my class notes and previous exams she posts. She explains things in a different way if you do not understand it, just ask questions.

She was a really great professor. She gets really excited about the material and cares about whether you actually understand the material. I definitely recommend taking CHEM 317 with 305. It gives you time with a chem professor where you can get extra help and you get a unit for it.

Just go to class and do your hw. study guides are really helpful.

This class is a lot of work no matter who you take it with. I think she prepared me well for my future courses however I think she could be more welcoming in with students. She was somewhat condescending and I would not consider her approachable. The thing that threw me off the most about this class is she gave ACS final without warning.
