She is a good teacher, very thorough, and eagar to help!

Easy exams, funny...

She is alright, the class is fairly easy but very very boring. I don't like the way she teaches; you never really understand what is actually happening as far as in chemistry, its just follow these steps to get some answer.

She's alright...good lectures, tests are okay as far as difficulty, but they are pretty long. She doesn't always show up on time for them either...

Great teacher, awesome notes. Posts old tests, no surprises. Lectures are okay, she trys to keep you entertained, but she gives you the info you need to do well in the class. Very Approachable . . taking her for Ochem!

She's not too bad. Her test are pretty straight foward, but she does assign lots of owl assignments (easy though). She's really helpful, and joyful. She's kinda cute too, for a professor!

She's great! Very helpful, very funny and very thorough in covering the class topics. Best teacher I've ever had.

I only had her until she got pregnant, and she left us with her husband. Tests are easy if you go to class, do the OWL and do the assigned problems in the book

ok teacher, writes everything on board. Kinda boring though, if you can stay awake in hte class, you'll do well.

She's OK, but not as good as spurgeon.

The class is hard, but she is one of the better professors teaching it. She is very easy to talk to, and always answers question clearly. Tests were not easy, but looking over the posted past tests really help.

great teacher! Sexy voice. Explains concepts very well.

She's the least difficult of the ochem teachers. She's very fair, and I've never left a lecture without understanding what she was talking about.

Best Ochem teacher on campus. Helpful and wants students to succeed. Still a ridiculously hard class, but this teacher makes it more bearable.

She was one of my best general chemistry teachers, SHE ROCKS!!

She puts all the info on the board and explains concepts thoroughly. Her tests are not too difficult if you study and go to her office hours, discussion, and review sessions. She posts previous test online along with other problem sets that help tremendously! The book also comes with online interactive problem sets that help too.

Awesome teacher!! One of the best teachers I have ever had seriously!!!

Really nice and funny :-)

This is a tough class, but she teaches it very well. You need to study a lot, but that's just because of the material. She makes it as clear as it can be considering what it is.

she is very good at explaining the material. she's really not that tough.

Another good rating. This is from someone who struggles with chemistry. Do everything she suggests (problem sets, book problems, etc.) because it is EASY to fall behind. If you keep up with the material she is good at explaining it. She also drops your lowest test score which is nice.

She is extremely helpful when you need it. She rambles sometimes and goes off in a different direction, but it gives you a break from Ochem for a bit. She is organized and clear about everything! GREAT PROFESSOR!

I really liked Dollinger. Not only was she highly intelligent in the field, but she was so clear and effective. She looks you in the eye, and doesn't continue until you understand a concept. I got a B in the class, but that's because half the class was GRO'ing it, which elevated the average. Good course, though. Dollinger's kinda cute, too.

Great! No matter what ppl say, YOU HAVE TO STUDY! Start in the habit of KNOWING the material the day she teaches it; SO easy to fall behind! Go to office hours, takes the time to get to know you. Do practice probs from book...exam Q's sometimes come directly from these. Not necessary to go to Spurgeon's lectures simultaneously, she teaches well.

She was really nice, her lectures were very logically organized, and the tests weren't all that bad. I didn't do well because I had a very poor chem foundation, but I knew what I was doing when I was studying, which was a big step. Liked her!

I took Ochem with Dollinger three years ago, and she still recognizes me and says hi on campus! She was very helpful in her office hours and is so precious looking.

Lectures are amazing. Very fair grader. Tests not too difficult. Drops lowest exam score. Cumulative final. Dont talk in class though!

AMAZING teacher. Notes are clear, and pretty much all you need. Tests are very fair. Two points extra credit per test (102 points total), with lowest exam score of four dropped.

Good teacher, she lays out her notes well. Her tests are hard, she curves by like a percent or 2..very little compared to the other ochem teachers. She made the majors exams harder then the regulars so it didnt help alot to study from the previous years. STUDY FALL 08 and Spring 09 exams the most. PRACTICE!

Dr. Dollinger is a great professor! She explains the material clearly, goes slowly so everyone is able to follow, and is a naturally funny person. This class will not only teach you a lot, but also be entertaining. I've preceptored for other o-chem professors and I think she is one of the best!

Dr Dollinger is fantastic! Ochem is going to be difficult no matter who you take it with, but she makes it endurable. Her teaching is phenomenal - I never had to read the book prior to lecture to understand, and she always asks for questions in class. She writes everything on the board that you'll need to know. Take her if you can.

Dr. Dollinger is a great teacher. She's a little scatterbrained and her favorite phrase is "who cares?" but she's always willing to help and she knows how to teach, and her tests are VERY fair. Very nice, not arrogant at ALL, always laughs and tells stories. If you have to take ochem, she's the teacher to have.

Dr. Dollinger is awesome! Tests are fair and straightforward. She doesn't try to trick you. She is hilarious and makes plenty of jokes, class will never get boring.

Excellent teacher, engaging lecturer, and will know your name by the first month. Far better than her husband.

Dollinger is an AMAZING professor! She is fun person to be around, and she lays out the notes in a way that makes organic chemistry easy. Her tests are straight forward and she never tries to trick you. What you put in is what you get out. SOO glad I took it with Dollinger. Plus she's attractive too :P

MESO MESO MESO!! :D

Organic chemistry is naturally a challenging subject, but Dollinger does an excellent job presenting the information to such an extent that chapter readings from the book aren't mandatory. Many of her exam problems come straight out of the book problems at the end of each chapter, so definitely complete the recommended problems. Good luck.

She's easily one of the best, perhaps THE best instructor teaching orgo at the UA. Just attend class and complete ALL recommended book problems and you'll surely get a B or above. (ROFLMAO, and don't mass email a class of 200+, four months into the course begging for some magical knight in shining armor to save your grade.)

Let me put this out there - no teacher can make you magically learn OChem. However, Dollinger gives you all the tools you need to get an A. Buy the book AND THE SOLUTIONS MANUAL and do ALL the recommended problems! Make flashcards of ALL the reactions! If you don't do these two things at least, you will have a hard time even getting a C.

Dollinger is an amazing 241B professor! Anyone who says differently is either failing the class because they aren't studying, or a complete moron. The tests are extremely fair, and often have material similar to book problems, problem set questions, or previous year exam questions (which she provides online). Me and my friends will be getting A's.

This class was by far the most difficult yet most rewarding class I have ever taken in all my years of school. Dollinger is interested in seeing you succeed. If you communicate with her, she will be there for you. Do not take the class lightly. In the end, it has been empowering to learn the language of organic chemistry and an excellent experience

This class was great. She gives you the notes so you don't have to read the book. If you do the work you will get an A, and Dollinger is extremely helpful. If you do the book problems, problem sets, and previous year exams you will succeed. Don't take too many other hard classes along with this one though, it's good to have some time aside for it.

Exams are hard, but if you go to class and discussion every time and do the problems out of the book, you should be fine. Lowest exam score is dropped as well. Only other homework is the Mastering, which is difficult to use. Easy teacher, nice, easy to approach and ask questions.

Dollinger is an exceptional professor. Ochem is not easy, it is fast paced and requires you to keep up. That said, Dollinger posts problem sets and answers, recommended book problems, and is very approachable when you have questions. Take advantage of all of these tools and you will succeed. 1 Exam is dropped and the class is curved.

Dollinger is consistent in her teaching and always has extra office hours the week of an exam. She's very approachable and listens to your questions. Final grades are curved, and book problem sets will save your grade if you do them. Discussion time is used well, make sure you go to every single one.

Dr. Dollinger is amazing. Her lectures are very clear and she is very willing to help if you are having problems understanding the material. The tests weren't unreasonably difficult. Doing book problems and going to discussion is a must.

Dr. Dollinger is an effective professor but O-Chem is still a difficult course. I suggest you structure your schedule around this class so that you are able to focus on it. Do practice problems, go to every class, start studying the week before an exam. If you fall behind you will most likely fail. I got an A without the curve doing these things.

I like organic chemistry, but it is a tough subject. Dr. Dollinger is very helpful and really wants to see everyone do well in her class. Tests are known for being difficult. Overall, I would have her again as my ochem professor.

Dollinger was a great teacher! You could easily not read the textbook and just use her notes to succeed in the course. You still need it for practice probs tho. 4 tests, lowest dropped, and required final. She also curves. An 88.6 was an A, and you had to work hard for it, but a 61 was a C, which gave people struggling a wide safety net.

Dr. Dollinger is a great professor. Her lectures are well organized and very helpful in explaining the concepts. The tests are hard, but not impossible or unfair. Discussion sessions and office hours are also really helpful in clarifying the concepts from class.

Dr. Dollinger is my favorite professor at UofA. She is well organized, tests are straight forward and fair, and is really good at teaching and explaining the material. Tests are NOT easy. You have to know the material to do good in the class but she offers a lot of reviews and practice problems.

Tough class, but Dr. Dollinger does a very good job of explaining the concepts. Go to her lectures, do her practice problems, study hard, and you'll be fine.

She's definitely a really good professor. Her lectures are on POINT! Don't miss a single class I'm telling you!

Dr. Dollinger is a great professor. She is incredibly knowledgeable and super approachable if you ever have questions. Her lectures are very straightforward and interesting. If you do the problem sets, book problems, and ask her any questions you have, you will learn a LOT and can definitely get a good grade in the course. Would recommend!

Dollinger was a really great professor, but the material was tough. Her notes were extremely helpful and organized and she always provided lots of practice, which is essential to doing well. She's sometimes intimidating to approach, but extremely helpful once you do. She teaches a little differently so it's helpful to take her both semesters.

I took Dollinger for Ochem2 having had minimal knowledge of Ochem 1. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS UNLESS YOU ARE ALREADY GOOD AT ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. Dollinger has clear lecture outlines and is great at explaning Ochem, but her tests are very hard. If I had her for the first semester of the course I might have done better. Your grade is 90% based on tests.

Dr. Dollinger is an amazing person, who clearly understand organic chemistry and can teach it well. However, if getting a good grade in this class matters to you take any other teacher, as her tests are 100x more difficult.

One of the best organic chemistry professors! She is detail oriented, which makes her lectures very beneficial; you LEARN ochem not just memorize it in her class. Her tests are pretty straight forward. If you go to class, look through the book, and study all of her old tests you will do well! She is very helpful if you go to her office hours.

The first half of the class was all stuff that I had previously learned, but as the course went on, we learned more of the new stuff and it got harder. My main piece of advice is to make flash cards!! She is always willing to help if you go to her office hours and she will stop during her lectures to make sure everyone understands the material.

Writes everything you need to know on the board and makes sure to explain everything in detail. The best chemistry professor I have had so far. I will definitely take her again!

Dr. Dollinger is a good teacher but hard to talk to. Going to class is very necessary as she tells you what topics will or will not be covered for the exams. To do well in the class, do all of her book problems, weekly recommended problems, and the old exams. Basically do everything she has for you and go to class and you will do great. I got an A.

Dr. Dollinger is an excellent teacher. She is very passionate about what she teaches and is willing to help anyone out who does not understand, whether during the actual lecture or in office hours. Second semester Ochem is a lot more mechanism-heavy, so I would suggest flash cards and lots of practice!

Like all the comments I read before I took her class, Dr. Dollinger is fantastic! So clear with her lectures, I mean wow-I wish all my chemistry teachers taught like her. Now you have to put in a lot of work for Ochem. Skipping lectures are a bad idea! When people next to me missed a day-oh man-they would come back totally lost.

Dr. Dollenger is a great professor, If you want to understand organic chemistry take her. However her tests are extremely hard.

I loved taking her class. Her notes are very organized and make it easier to study. You need to dedicate a lot of time to this class if you want to get an A. Practice problems are a must and cramming the night before won't help.

This class is extremely difficult due to nature of the material but Dollinger makes it as easy as I think it can be. She very clearly goes through every concept and gives examples of each step along the way. Her exams are tough but I think its worth it for the detail she goes in to. Also, no electronics are allowed in the class so be aware of that.

Dollinger is a great prof! Her lectures are clear and provide for good notes to study from; she always gives examples and is willing to answer any questions you have. Her exams are a little tough, but if you go to class, do the textbook practice problems, and look over old exams, you should be fine. Would definitely recommend!

Dr. Dollinger was an excellent professor. Although her class is notorious for being extremely difficult she managed to make it seem easy. She knows what she is talking about. Do the homework even though it isn't assigned because it will definitely help.

Dr. Dollinger is awesome. She has a reputation for being a harder professor but if you go to all the lectures, do the organic cafe assignments and the optional book problems in preparation for her exams, you won't really struggle. She's very responsive to questions both in person and over email, and she's clearly very knowledgeable.

Fantastic! The absolute best chemistry teacher I've ever had, completely clear about what you need to know and what will be on the exam. The class is tough no matter what but she gives TONS of study material and is always more than willing to help anyone who asks. Super kind and wonderful!

One of the best professors I have had. This class is hard as it is, but you have to put in the work and she gives you so many opportunities to succeed. Very easy to talk to and get help from. I recommend doing both semesters of OCHEM with her if possible. Kind of difficult to changing teaching styles going to second semester.

She is a great teacher and I would 100% take her again. She moved fast through the material, but mostly because there was a lot to cover. The tests were hard and long for the amount of time we had (50 min) and I thought they were graded fairly, but if you have a problem with it she is more than willing to explain the grade in office hours.

I took her for both semesters of organic chemistry. I ended with an A, but it was EXTREMELY HARD TO DO SO, BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE. Your grade is basically exams. To study I did the organic cafe and the problems she posted on d2l several times. I would just keep doing the worksheets over and over. I would understand and memorize. It a lot of material.

Best organic chemistry professor ever, super knowledgeable and fantastic lectures really makes you love the material; definitely not as hard as people make her class out to be. Know your stuff and you'll get an A. Every exam administered was 100% fair

Such an amazing and caring professor. Organic Chemistry is a difficult subject, but Dr. Dollinger makes it so fun and so interesting. Her lectures are AMAZING! Best out of anyone at UA - gives very organized and structured notes. Lots of study material and old exams, she cares about each student understanding the material! Take her if you can.

Dollinger is one of the best professors I've had at U of A. She is VERY knowledgeable and you can tell that she actually WANTS you to learn. I've had professors that will literally read verbatim off of a power point for lectures, but Dollinger goes in depth and thoroughly explains concepts. 1000% recommend

I really enjoyed her teaching style. She made everything super clear in class and encouraged her students to ask questions if they were confused. The material is extremely difficult, though, and you are only graded on 4 exams (lowest dropped) and the final. Her tests are based on the practice problems in OCafe and old exams, study those for sure.

Dollinger is a great professor, but she is hard. She moves very quickly in lecture, so it is really best to read ahead int he textbook if possible before attending class. She holds out of office times to ask questions, and go over practise problems which is nice. Organic Chem is a tough subject; should be prioritized because it takes a lot of time

A great professor for Organic Chemistry. I had her for the Honors section. 90% of the class grade was made up of tests. There are 4 Exams, 1 is dropped, each is 20%. The final is 30%. Go to class and take great notes. Make reagent and reaction flashcards! Do practice exams and textbook problems as soon as possible too. Lectures are on Panopto.

Dollinger is an awesome professor. I would take o chem with her (as I've heard bad things about other professors). I recommend going to office hours and doing extra class problems, book problems, o cafe problems, and practice exams. O chem won't be easy if you're not willing to put effort into it outside of class.

Dr. Dollinger is ONE OF THE BEST CHEMISTRY PROFESSORS AT U OF A. UA Chem is lucky to have such a great professor teaching Ochem1/2. She is VERY thorough with the material and holds weekly review sessions in addition to O.H. & cafe. Anyone that rated her low probably didn't put in work and thought the A was going to be handed to them!Orgo isnt easy!

Okay this is coming from someone who loves chem, but I really enjoyed her class! It was pretty tough, but she really cares about her students. It is all test grades. She goes out of her way to make sure the questions are the same format as the book and cafe questions. Lectures are fast-paced. There is a nice curve at the end.

She's a great professor, the class was difficult but she made it fun.

(Just as a heads up: i feel like the same person did multiple bad reviews to make her look bad.) I will agree that the COVID pandemic made learning harder but Dollinger did her best to accommodate us. Only watching her lectures wasnt going to get you an A and there were plenty of resources: book problems, practice exams, o cafe, office hours...

dont get why anyones saying she did the COVID transition poorly. it was fair, we literally had unproctored quizzes for half of our grade. if you cant put in work to get good grades on unproctored quizzes then idk what to tell you. dollinger is an excellent lecturer, you need to put in work, its ochem. she gave more As/Bs this semmy than ever b4

Dr. Dollinger is such a caring and wonderful professor. She graded solely on the exams, homework was suggested not graded. Her lectures are clear and she makes organic chemistry interesting and easy to understand. Obviously you need to study the material outside of class, but Dollinger is very helpful and approachable if you have questions.

Dr. Dollinger is very kind and knowledgable, but sometimes that makes it hard to follow her thought-process since she knows exactly what she's talking about and her students don't. The course is pretty difficult, but manageable if you GO TO ALL LECTURES. I had to take it as a live-online one but it was still good to learn. I would recommend Dr. D!

Dr. Dollinger does not sugar coat anything. She starts the class by stating that it is a lot of material and that you have to stay caught up or you will not make it. There is no playing catch up and the material can be difficult. However, with that being said, she is an amazing professor and I am taking 241B with her next semester as well.

Dr. Dollinger is an amazing O-Chem teacher. O-Chem is usually a feared class because the level of difficulty, but Dr. Dollinger is able to explain it in a way that makes sense. She offers office hours throughout the week, extra practice and book problems, so she really sets you up to succeed. She is very easy to talk to and ask questions to.

Dr. Dollinger is the BEST professor at UA!!! I was not looking forward to ochem going into this class, but she made it so fun and understandable! She engages the class often and she genuinely wants us to understand the concepts. Ochem is naturally a hard subject, you do have to work to get a good grade. Just go to office hours and SI sessions!

She & her team was a true gem during such troubling times. I had a difficult time adjusting to mostly all classes online. She was extremely understanding but also her material and teaching style was spot on. When asking questions and clarification she didn't hesitate and gave great examples. If you need to take CHEM 241A & B HIGHLY recommend her.

I thought Dr. Dollinger was a really good teacher. The class is really pretty hard, but I really think that's the nature of the class itself. My tip if she keeps doing to connect is to prioritize practicing off of homework, quizzes, and the book. If you're able, take other parts of your schedule easy this class requires time.

Dollinger is a great professor for ochem. The class itself is a little hard and you really get what you put into it. She drops as exam and curves grades. Sometimes its a little hard to follow her thought process in the videos which is when the book and her zoom lectures are helpful. Best advice is to stay on top of the material & quizzes & practice

Dr. Dollinger is the best professor I've ever had. She made organic chemistry (the class of nightmares) fun, engaging, and a class I looked forward to attending. The material is challenging (um, it's organic chemistry), but she genuinely cares about how you're doing and will do everything in her power to help you succeed. 11/10, love her!

Dr. Dollinger was my favorite professor ever! Her class is hard but she does a good job at explaining ochem. Go to office hours! It helps when she knows you. You HAVE to study hard for exams but that's just ochem in general. There is a HUGE curve in the class which helps a lot. I ended with an A both semesters so it is possible! I loved this class!

This is a great class by a great teacher. Strongly recommend that you do the book problems and "in class problem set" to study for the quizzes and exams. The "Flashcard" thing doesn't work for everyone--just do practice problems and you'll learn the reagents! If any extra credit is offered, do it because literally anything (even 1 point) helps.

Dr. Dollinger is very knowledgeable and makes a point to help students and provide tons of practice material. However, the class is SO lecture-heavy, she includes so much info and goes into so much detail about stuff, even if it isn't as relevant. If you like knowing more about the subject this is great, but it can also get confusing.

Dr. Dollinger is a good professor, but I feel like you already have to be good at chem to keep up with the class. So much content and info. Gives lots of practice problems + study guides, but the exams are harder than what you do in class. Ochem requires a ton of work to keep up and do well. If you don't absolutely have to take it, don't.

Dr. Dollinger is a good professor and always tries to be engaging and provide practice material. However, the class was far too content-heavy for me (maybe just because it was the honors section?) You will struggle unless you make this class a priority, or unless you are naturally good at chem. Good professor but difficult class.

Although Organic Chemistry can be very difficult, this professor provided so many sources of help and extra problems, that it is purely your own fault for not passing. Her lectures were so helpful, both posted online and live in person. Lots of practice and easy lesson plans

Dr. Dollinger is the best choice for OChem at U of A. I hate chemistry with a passion(thanks to my gen. chem teachers), so that made it so hard for me. Glad that there are homework and quizzes included in the grading now, because the tests are HARD. Nothing like the quiz and homework questions. Do extra problems and it is possible to pass.

OCHEM with Dollinger is a piece of cake. I barely studied for any of the exams and still nearly aced the class. Her tests are so easy and she gives amazing practice exams that are really similar to actual exam. She gives a bunch of resources for practice. Its not necessary to go to class because she has videos she made during pandemic. A goat.

Dr. Dollinger is a straightforward professor. Her exams are very similar to the practice ones she gives so make sure you can do them without notes. She is a very fair person and their is no reason why a person should not be put in a position to get an A at the end of the semester. She has a lot of resources so use them and don't complain.

Dollinger is one of the better choices to take organic chemistry with. She actually cares that students learn the material and is approachable outside of class. If you only watch her pre-lecture videos and don't come to class you will not be prepared for exams. She does so many practice problems in class which helps with comprehension.

You have to do the work outside of class to do well. Study the homework for the quizzes and DO THE BOOK PROBLEMS, they do wonders. Study the practice exam and book problems for the tests and you will also be fine. It's hard, but you can definitely do well in the class if you put in the time and effort outside of class. Also go to ocafe. Haziq is >>

A queen.

Dr. Dollinger is a great professor - kind and engaging - and there are lots of resources to get help outside of class. Just be aware that you are expected to work through lots of content with a new unit each week. It's difficult to do amazing if you have other priorities but if you do the practice and go to reviews/ office hours you'll be fine.

Dollinger is a great lecturer and does a good job explaining the material. Reading the book makes weekly homework and quizzes straightforward, but exams are incredibly difficult. Take the practice exams and go to lecture if you want to see her go over more practice problems. You have to invest a significant amount of time to get a good grade.

Dr. Dollinger really cares about her students and wants everyone to do well. Organic chemistry is always going to be difficult and it requires a lot of practice outside of class in order to really understand what is going on, but Dr. Dollinger gives students lots of resources for practice and help outside of class, so you can definitely succeed.

Dollinger is super funny and gives plenty of practice problems/resources so you can succeed. I liked how there's graded homework and quizzes to split up the grade instead of just exams (although those are still the bulk of the grade). Take advantage of review sessions, organic cafe and the practice exams and you'll survive this weed-out class.

the BEST ochem professor

This class was stupid easy. The class averages for exams were in the 60% range which tells me a lot of the students in the class are just lazy. The book problems are miles harder than the exams. Her exams were so easy I am shocked at how poor kids did in this class. I finished the class with a 98%. Dollinger made this class so easy lol

The class was cake. It could be because I am wicked smart or many everyone else is just really dumb. Either way, her exams were an insult to my intelligence. I finished the class with a 97%. I did not study for the third exam and got a 98%.

This class is light work. I got a 100% in this class and I didn't even go to a single lecture. Dollinger makes everything available so that you do not have to go to a single class. Her tests are super easy. Those that do not like Dollinger are the ones that are lazy, can't study, and are dangerously unintelligent. Could not be an easier class.

This class was SO easy, I actually wish it was harder. This class did not live up to the classic organic chemistry stereotype. I think I have put more work in some Gen ed classes in my academic career. Dollinger is an absolute goat. She makes everything you need available online and she gives amazing practice exams, making exams super easy.

Dollinger is honestly such a great professor. She can seem a bit abrasive at first, but I promise you she is nice and genuinely cares about her students' success. She's also really funny. This class is hard, but totally doable if you actually devote time to doing practice problems and take advantage of the teaching team resources. Put in the work!!

Dr. Dollinger is absolutely amazing. She is hilarious and makes organic chemistry genuinely fun to learn. I love going to lectures which is great because you NEED to if you want a good grade in this class. She also is great at answering questions - multiple times answered my questions in GroupMe at midnight. You won't find a more supportive prof.

Professor Dollinger is great. The way she has you watch lectures beforehand and then come to class and do problems is very helpful. If you put the time and effort into the class it is not too difficult and would definitely be easy to get at least a B in the course. It is also nice that there are homework and video grades on top of exam grades.

I was really worried about OCHEM going into this class There are in-class quizzes around once a week. The online lectures are graded for completion and you have unlimited attempts on homework. The tests are difficult, but if you put in the work throughout the unit, you will be fine.

I wish I could've given Dr. Dollinger a 4.5/5. She is a great professor, especially for a difficult subject like OChem. The only downside is that she posts one practice exam and shares relevant book problems for a chapter or two (when each exam is about 4 chapters). The review sessions she holds are Q&A. I'd try to go to SI sessions, if possible.

Dr. Dollinger can come off as mean at times, but she truly cares about her students and is just a little blunt at times. She is not mean and always wants to help those who need it. That being said, if you attend lectures, watch the recorded lectures, and do practice problems regularly, you probably will not need that help. Great professor!

Requires a lot of outside work! Go to O-cafe, office hours, and PRACTICE! Her exams are 30% which for me were easier than quizzes which are worth 20%, so do well on those. Changed the grading system for quizzes so you can't get lower than a 50%, so she does listen to students input. If you put in the time, effort, AND PRACTICE, you can get an A.

Dollinger is a phenomenal professor, her flipped classroom format was great and she had many out of class Office hours/review. She also supplies an ample amount of problems for practice, Unit problems are similar to exam questions. All that being said Orgo is hard and you will need to put in an ample amount of time outside of class to do well!

I had Lisa for Organic Chem one and she is an amazing teacher. She is funny and makes it fun to learn. She explains things thoroughly and she has a lot of resources for students. She gives a lot of opportunities to understand the material: optional practice problem, book problems, preceptor and office hours. I recommend taking her class!

Lisa was a great ochem professor. I really like the flipped classroom setting, as ochem requires A LOT of practice to get it down. If you don't like the flipped classroom idea then this class is not for you. You REALLY have to put in the hours to study the class. 10/10 recommend

I took Dr. Dollinger for o-chem 1 back in Fall 2022 (this is a late review, I know lol). She was an excellent professor, and I was able to achieve the grade I wanted (albeit with a lot of work outside of class). Lectures were online and in-class sessions were mainly for extra practice and reinforcement. Be ready to work outside of class for an A.

shes a good teacher but shes really mean in office hours

Took for honors ochem and loved it. The flipped classroom actually helped me learn all of the content and kept me more engaged than I think a classic lecture would have. Go to class to work on problems and definitely get help at Ocafe or in office hours outside of class. Lots of work, but thats ochem- not her. Loved her and her huge teaching team

Great instructor! Cares about you as a student and actually teaches in a way that gives you a chance to form an understanding of the material. Absolutely take her class!

Dr. Dollinger is so epic.

Dr. Dollinger is an amazing professor. She gets a bad rep for being "too hard" but if you put in the work and really practice, you will do just fine. Her passion for the subject is so inspiring and she's funny. She really wants you to do well in the class, but wants you to actually understand it, so that is maybe why she comes off as being "hard".

I took Dollinger for honors o chem one and two. She has awesome online lectures to watch before class. The class is flipped and that works great for me because we do practice during class. One thing I love is that you know EXACTLY what will be on the exam and there are plenty of resources to practice/study for the exams/final.

dollinger is awesome! class is flipped classroom; before each lecture, you usually have to watch two videos, each about twenty minutes long. really makes ochem interesting and fun. lots of work, i recommend you watch one lecture video every day. not a fun class if you procrastinate. exams are long and you have to be detail-oriented to do well

same exact class as the regular section but for honors students. no extra homework or anything like that. really recommend because you get to have more personal interactions and help from her and the preceptors!

I love Dr. Dollinger. Ochem is such a difficult subject, and I don't think I could have done it without all of her extra help. There are so many office hours, SI sessions, etc.

Professor Dollinger makes ochem engaging and manageable with a flipped classroom format. While the workload is significant, her support and resources, like unstuck AI, help you stay on track. The exams are challenging but fair - just be detail-oriented and consistent with your preparation.

I love the flipped classroom structure because it allows you to rewatch the lectures. There are 7 quizzes throughout the semester, 2 get dropped, that hold you accountable for staying on top of the material. Dollinger is clear at explaining complex topics and making this difficult class manageable. She also is super funny and has an amazing team.

Dr. Dollinger is so great at teaching ochem in detail. The way her class is structured makes the content easy to learn as long as you do the homework by the assigned date. There are weekly quizzes that actually make sure you continuously learn the content which really saved me when it came to exams. Overall, great professor!

I just want to start by saying organic chemistry is going to be difficult no matter who your professor is. Dr. Dollinger always had office hours to go to, lecture videos, and lots of exam preps. She gives extra credit here and there. All quizzes and exams for the online section are proctored and timed. Take advantage of all resources.
