For grating the Lab Report,sometimes she will deduct your marks seriously.If you are carefully enough,you can avoid that, eg : Significant Figure. In the Lecture, if you do not family with chemistry topic like orital,electronic structure,you may feel hard

Just attended her lecture class and it was fine. The exams were not really hard. Studying her notes carefully will help you get an A.

Lectures were clear. She offered additional insite into things when i asked questions both in lecture and lab. She had good comments on grading i could learn from. She is anally objective on grading (A good thing). study your notes for an A.

responsible instruction with clear presentation about the stuff. the marking scale is rather tough but tests and exams are easy.

Very helpful teacher (come to her office hours !!!) Her tests in 1A are easy, but the ones in 1B are quite hard. Study her lecture note carefully, and do homework, then you can get an A.

I think she is easy because I can get 97%, 94% midterms and I can get an A even I have 70% in final.

I'm not one of the smartest students around, but I find her lectures very clear as she works out the problems with you to the dec. place. 1B material is hard to learn, but if you read her notes and redo the problems she did in class, you WILL do well. She's my fav out of all the chem teachers.

Very helpful, very parient, very clear. not going too fast, just the right pace!! Getting a good grade at the beginning of the quarter is important.

lets face it, this is a college level science course so of course its hard. dr. larson is strict on grading but very fair she wouldn't give you something on a test that she didn't warn you of its prescense on the test. plus I worked really hard and she recognized the effort and gave me an A. people which grade larson poorley are lazy and blame her.

Her grading was fair. She wasn't strict on details as some say, rather you get what you deserve. Personally, I think her class isn't as hard as people say. If you work for it, you get what you want. I've seen people nag about her just because they haven't done the studying that they should have.

super unfair grading. if u gave her an impression you are an A student, your minor mistakes would be forgiven(no matter how many); otherwise, she takes points from you one by one. Leature is pretty clear and interesting.

Her class is extremely hard. But if you give her a impression that you have tried your best, she may still give you a C. My friend caught cheated, but she still gave him a chance.

The quarter was hard to get through. But you can really learn a lot from her. I would recommend her if ur majoring in chem.

Ms. Larson class is hard compared to a general ed course. I need chemistry and this is teaching me what I need to know when I transfer. She has a website that has her notes so you can review them before class or if you miss it. Her labs are long as she tries to give you as much time to do unknowns. I recommend her.

This is a pretty hard class to get an A in. Her tests are difficult, but not impossible. She is an excellent teacher and will help you out side of class. Her blog has class updates and notes available making it easy if you missed some class to catch up. I would recommend her, but your going to have to work for an A

Larson is helpful but if you aren't the best at chemistry she is pretty patronizing. I'm a 3.6 bio major and take my grades seriously but had to withdraw from her class. VERY HARD grader+hard tests. No EC, slightly scaled grading system (87% A) Just make sure to study in excess. Teach yourself the material and let her guide you what to emphasize

Dr. Larson is AMAZING. I hated chemistry in high school and expected this to be the hardest and worst class but she truly got me to not only understand but also like chemistry. If you go to office hours she will definitly help you. Her lectures are very helpful, do the online homework and ask for help and you will do well. She is GREAT

She's a great person overall, but has these weird ticks where you have to get the EXACT answer in order to get full credit, it's so annoying...she marks everything off, and the lab reports are insanely long...if you stay committed to this class and can handle this challenging course, then by all means go ahead; otherwise don't take this class

Frankly, I like this teacher. Her lecture is great. Even though it is from the text book, she summarizes the main points. Her lecutre and exam are hard, but if you understand the concept well, it is just a piece of cake. She does curve and give extra point on the final exam, midterm, and lab exam. Overall, highly recommend her.

I personally think people are harsh on grading her. She was one of my favorite teachers this last quarter. She is a fair grader I got a B but I didnt deserve an A I slacked off towards the end.Def recommend her!

It was a really hard class. She's really nice and is willing to help you out to get the grade you want, but it's still a lot of work. Stay true to your work and keep going no matter how bad you want to quit and you'll succeed.

Larson is a very good teacher. She reads your work carefully with great attention to detail. I had to do many practice questions, and her website says to do that. She is very fair and respectful toward students. Very meticulous.

Chem 70 is a slightly expanded way of taking Chem 1A. Larson is a good teacher, so having 2 more hours of her per week helps. You'll get a few pages worth of suggestions about how to do Chem 1A. Mostly it is practice questions with other students and Larson discussing the answers. I found Chem 70 helpful.

You really need to work for the grade you want and not fall behind. She's a teacher who is willing to help you IF you come and ask her for help. Class was very interesting and engaging, but tests were hard. She's really picky with sig figs, so master that! Overall, I would recommend her. She's a great professor.

Dr Larson is very good at explaining the concepts clearly to the class. She is extremely helpful and understanding. Her lab is fun and she is always there to help and guide you through it. It is really not a hard class as long as you are willing to learn.

She is an overall happy teacher who is very understanding of her students. Really helpful and encouraging so be sure to ask her questions often. Her notes, lectures, and discussions are all pretty clear, but you will still have to put in the effort if you want to succeed. It's also a good building block for other chemistry classes.

She is really nice and helpful. Her lectures might be boring but it is quite useful to attend them because she explains quite clearly.

She is super helpful and kind. Her lectures are really clear and formatted in a way that makes you do the work and practice. Her exams were not that bad as long as you practice from her lecture notes and homework

VERY helpful, but you need to work for it. Kinda strict in the beginning but do NOT argue back in a rude way. Just listen and show that you want to learn, and she will show you the same respect. Go to her office hours! She brought treats for tests and our study group right outside her office (chocolate covered strawberries and her own tomatoes :D)

I have taken 1A and 1C with her. Most of her tests are about understanding, sometimes could be tricky, but i wont say it is hard.

Although Londa seems really strict in the beginning, she usually loosens up by the end of the quarter. She shows a similar trend with her grading. Her tests are difficult, but she gives you several grading options to make up for it. She's also a really down-to-earth woman and loves her students. Bonus: she'll bring snacks to her class too :)

She is a very cool teacher! The content of the class gets extremely complicated towards the end of the quarter, thats where it is difficult, and where you will lose the bulk of your grade. Ensure that you earn as much points as possible while the class is still easy! She will help you, but unless you master the content, you wont do well.

She did well this last quarter. The topics later in the quarter veered far from my interests, but she clearly made an effort to be there for her students. She was understanding of outside responsibilities, made efforts to talk with all students and brought healthy snacks to class every so often. The tests are not easy. You really need time to study

I went into this class thinking I was gonna fail because I'm not good at science and the reviews on this page scared me! But honestly it was not so bad. Her lecture notes really help, although material gets harder near the end. The final brought me down from an A to a B so my advice is to stay on top of it/take this class along with easier classes.

Super nice & caring professor, you can see that she really cares for this subject & her students. Her lectures are rapid and useless, save yourself that time and just study from home since she posts all her slides online. The material is pretty straight forward and her slides show everything that's needed. This class has a strong curve applied too

Dr. Larson is a great teacher! She was my Lab teacher and was much better than the lecture one. She is very clear explaining and very accessible outside class too. Also, very caring, really wanting her students to understand everything.

Professor Larson is a great professor. She is personally vested in the outcomes of her students. You can get some extra credit in the online homework. Just be sure not to be late or miss lab.

Her exams are quite difficult, but they are open notes and most of the questions had similar examples in lecture notes. Lectures are quite lengthy, but not mandatory attendance. She uploads recordings and her own version of notes that are more detailed. Her labs do not require a written report. Is easily accessible through office hours and email.

I, a high schooler, took CHEM 1A & 1C with Dr. Larson. She was always very eager to help me & was also more available outside of class than any teacher I have had. At first I had great difficulty with her exams, but after I started studying the word problems on her slides, I got MUCH better grades. I 100% recommend her for serious students.

Not sure why there are many negative reviews, but she was probably one of the best professors I've had at Foothill. Her class is TEST HEAVY so stay on track and attend lectures. However, she offers a lot of Zoom hours, and the homework is reflective of the exam for the most part. Just do practice problems when studying.

best chemistry professor Ive ever taken. If you have a chance to take Chem1C please take it with Dr. Larson! She cares about students and is always there to help you if you ask her questions. Show up for office hours and youre guaranteed to do well in the class. Attendance for lab is mandatory but lecture is recorded and she posts annotated notes

She cares, believe me. Class is tough, I struggled. There were points given to me on certain assignments that I didn't even deserve. Went to her office hours whenever I could and she gave me all her attention. She is approachable and will give youhelp.

Honestly, she is the best professor I have ever had. Yes, chemistry is hard, and she will make you work for it, but it's all to help you understand. A lot of kids complained because they never bothered to show up for office hours or put in the work to actually understand the material. If you show that you care about this class, she will help you.

She's not the best, but considering she was the better option for chem 1a, she is pretty good.

For me, chemistry is super difficult but Dr. Larson made my way of thinking about chemistry wayyyy better than I thought. I would 100% recommend people to take her because she will help you understand chemistry better and gives you the ground work in it. I only had her for lab but she always available to help and wants you to understand. What a gem

Professor Larson's class was well-structured and well thought out. She cares about students and wants them to succeed in this challenging class. I ended up having to take her section because the one I originally wanted was full, and I'm really glad!

She really wants to make sure you understand the material. She's a tougher grader, but explains the material very clearly. So far the best Chemistry teacher I've had.

Tough grading, but the professor cares and will give you her full attention during office hours. ChatGPT and unstuckstudy were helpful for studying. Worth pushing through the difficulty if you engage with the course materials.
