Tests are way easier than the examples or book. Easy A.

I was a little worried when the teacher i signed up for disappeared online and Bautista was now my teacher, since she was nowhere to be found on here. But I got super lucky because Professor Bautista is one of the best teachers I've ever had. She explains everything perfectly to the point where I don't mind going to class. I actually enjoy it.

She is extremely helpful and the way she teaches it easyto comprehend. Attendance is recommended. I enjoy being in her class. Tests are easy and she helps you prepare for them.

Really helpful, really good teacher. You will surely get "A" if you study hard.

she is a very nice teacher, and most of the time she is also very helpful. if you're planning to take her class, make sure you don't ask her obvious stupid questions because it gets her mad. n=but otherwise, wonderful. labs are easy and from lectures, easy to understand.

She is very clear and gives very accurate notes. I didn't have the textbook and was able to pass all of her test by just studying off my notes. She can be very moody happy one second and snaps at someone the next but overall she is a good teacher. I would recommend you take her class and oh yeah study and study hard. After all it is Chem.

Dope Instructor! Chemistry isn't easy but her style of teaching makes it as CLEAR as possible. She provides worksheets per chapter to help with exams and the exams are str8 forward. So if you understood the lectures, you will most DEF get a good grade on her exams!

I love Professor Bautista! Lectures are clear, she gives a worksheet for every chapter do them and you'll do fine in the tests. The labs are entertaining and intersting. But if there is a Pre-lab or Lab Report due make sure you submit it to her the first 5 mins of class she WILL NOT ACCEPT IT LATE. Other than that she is awesome HIGHLY RECCOMEND.

She is an amazing teacher! She lays out chemistry perfect in class, is extremely helpful outside of class, and really wants her students to succeed. It is possible to get an A in her class even if you haven't seen chemistry before, but it takes STUDYING. Do her worksheets over and over + understand the concepts and you'll be fine.

Alrighty.. professor bautista is prob the best chem professor smc can afford.. she is so dedicated to teaching her students that she even has once done it for free! SHE WRITES THE NOTES FOR YOU!!!! i mean which chemistry professor does that??? And her office hrs are great to ask for personal help

Writes notes for u on the board!! Doesnt trick you like other professors and continually show off that shes a doctor.. shes the best chem professor smc can afford

The best chem 10 professor at SMC, extremely helpful and clear lectures take her u wont regret it!!

Shes great!! She knows almost every detail about chemistry and thank heavens for that neat handwriting of hers!! Other professors look like they write in a foreign language... do her worksheets study hard go to office hours and sit in front

Very helpful! The best teacher in SMC! Strict but motivates you to do well and will make sure and I guarantee you'll master the course by the end of the semester! TAKE HER! You won't regret it but you have to do all worksheets and STUDY! Practice and practice to not do your mistakes over in a test!

One of the best chemistry teachers at SMC!! she is caring, nice, helpful and very clear in lecture. Not an easy A but its attainable as long as you work hard and put in some effort, Take Her!!! I would definately take her for future chemistry classes

The way she teaches Chem is so clear. Her teaching style is very organized and that's rare to find in some professor. Just come to class everyday, be prepared, and memorize everything as early as you can. Her exams can be really challenging, if you're not prepared.

This class is super hard. Exams are difficult. But Prof. B curved the end grade. I ended up learning so much in this class. I would have been ecstatic with B, but got an A. Very grateful! She seems strict but actually really roots for her students!

Bautista is an amazing teacher. I really do not understand all the bad reviews. She is strict while at the same time making the class very fun. Most students dropped out before the last exam. She is extremely helpful when you have any questions. She treats students as friends if you go to her during office hours. She is the one to take all the way!

Dr. Bautista is an amazing and dedicated professor. She does everything she possibly can to help students understand the material and pass the class. Just know that you have to put in an insane amount of work, but this is a chem class, so that's a given. Only downside is she takes FOREVER to grade.

Good & Bad. GOOD: many resources to help you learn; great explanations. BAD: scolds you for not asking questions (says she's there to help) but if you DO ask, she just yells at you because you should already know. Understandable frustration, but needs to be more patient. To her credit, she cares about her students, and it shows. Overall good.

"Use the BUT-TON!" Alright, so the great thing about her lectures is that they're crystal clear. Dr. Bautista truly goes in-depth to provide a greater understanding of the material. Yes she can come off as strict, but it's because students ask her questions pertaining to the 1st week of the semester. Come on now! It also takes her forever to grade!

Love her. Love her. Love her. She's the best teacher i have had so far, her class is NOT easy but she really does all she can so her students can succeed. And she does a great job in keeping a positive attitude and keeps the class interesting. Always there to help and is very approachable. Take this teacher. Shes very strict but caring.

By far the best teacher I have ever had. She is so organized and teaches the material in an easy to understand manner. She is very kind and wants to see her students succeed. Her test are not easy, but by the end of the semester when you take the standardized final you will feel prepared. Take her class she is a wonderful teacher!!!

Prof. Bautista is the best professor EVER. I took this during Summer '14 and it's the best class I've had. I have never seen a professor care for her students this much. Her lectures are very crystal clear and she'll appreciate it if you ask questions and participate. I love her because she's the reason why I started to love Chemistry (my major).

One of my favorite professors of all time! She made me love chemistry and I thought I hated it before. She is truly amazing! She is crystal clear on her notes and what she expects. I had her for summer, and I looked forward going to class everyday. Study study study!

She got mad when people ask her the same question even they are struggling. She is mean and strict to the rule. Do not take her if you are not ready. Study ! Her exam is hard so are the labs. But I am sure you will learn a lot from her in this class. She is a smart lady and very into chemistry.

Great teacher, but not an easy one. You might think about it twice if you don't put effort in class. Lectures are rough but comprehensible. The class gets harder through time, you must keep up or you will be left behind.

Professor Bautista is the most amazing Chemistry teacher ever! I know that a lot of people think that she is hard and that she is tough because she doesnt like to explain things but thats only because you probably dont listen to every single word she says. Pay close attention to her lectures and her explanations. She goes into depth bout everything

Dr. Bautista is an absolutely phenomenal professor. Her lectures are very clear and she continually asks students if they have clarifying questions about the lecture. Although she will reiterate concepts from the lecture when necessary, she does not repeat herself during the lecture, so pay attention. Tests are relatively difficult

I really love Prof. Bautista. As a returning student taking chemistry for the first time ever (and dropping it last semester), I was very nervous. Becoming an RN requires a good grade in this class so a lot depended on it. I believe that she helped me attain this dream. I'll always remember her and her amazing talents as a teacher! :)

Her lectures are fun and entertaining, and she's very clear with the material. If you still don't understand something, she's happy to clarify. She genuinely wants students to pass, but she understands the difficulty of the class. She's a tough grader, so you really have to study. She doesn't give free points or extra credit. Overall, excellent.

Very clear and will help you but she likes to challenge the class even though its already challenging. Test are VERY hard, wont recommend taking her if your new to Chem. And if you do take it good luck.

Her only down sides are that she misses class on a seemingly regular basis so expect to learn some of the material on your own. She is also a hyper particular grader so if you misspell a chemical name by even one letter, expect a deduction. Aside from that, she gives great lectures and the test are pretty straight forward.

Even though she took twenty points away from my exam grade because I forgot my ruler on the desk. She is the best professor I've ever had. Clarity 10/10 You can't find better, and I'm sure that our class had the best overall grade on the departmental final exam

amazing. VERY CLEAR with her lectures. dont miss class or you wont understand everything. take really good notes. i used to hate chem so much until i took bautista. she made the class fun and exciting. offers "homework" - dont have to do it, it's more for your own practice - DO THESE HOMEWORK SHEETS!!! with chem10, you just have to practice a lot

She's wonderful, a professor who truly cares about her students. She will painstakingly teach you everything you need to know in an organized and detailed way. She gives a lot and you have to give a lot back to succeed. I got an "A", but had to work very hard. She's overly strict for my taste, but I appreciated her and respected her regardless.

I've never worked so hard for a class and I've taken multi variable calculus. Not a tough grader, but you HAVE TO DO THE WORK!! It's is strongly recommended to go to office hrs. She does second guess her calculations here and there during lectures, so you have to check her work. However her understanding of the material is phenomenal.

Do not take class w/ her if you have a heavy class load or work. In order to succeed you must do ALL her recommended practice problems & more + see her in office hours. Difficult exams & hard/time consuming formal lab report required at the end. Very sweet after everyone is weeded out of the class and tries her best to help everyone succeed.

Professor Bautista is a skilled lecturer and is a lightning fast thinker. She means business when teaching Ochem and is respected by her students. I'd recommend taking this class to anyone who wants to be taught by an awesome chemistry professor.

Dr. Bautista teaches a difficult course but she presents the material in a cohesive and concise manner so that you don't get bogged down in the detail. She makes sure you understand the over-arching concepts/principles. She does expect a lot from her students, but by no means absurd--simply the necessary effort to earn the grade you wish.

This class required a lot of time and commitment. You have to do the HW problems!!! Some questions in free response are from HW. In lab you have maybe 2 hours to complete experiment (Never felt like enough time) so be prepared. She is very understanding and will help you in office hours. Third exam is very difficult, but department final is easy.

Absolutely love Professor Bautista. It was my third time taking Chem 12 and with her great teaching skills I was able to get an A (after getting a D- the first time, and withdrawing the second time). I'm an example that you can definitely do well in this class if you stay on top of the material by READING, HW and OFFICE HOURS! Taking her for ochem.

I made this account because I felt these other reviews are unfair. Professor Bautista is a great professor and a great lecturer and I would take her class again. She is very organized and is very willing to help students. Some cons are that she is nitpicky about formatting and slow with grading labs (we didn't get any feedback).

Baristas organic chemistry class was very hard, in fact her grade distribution was lower than other professors in the department. I liked this about her class because only the best of the best could get an A with her. It had to be earned, not given.

Dr. Bautista is an amazing professor to take for Chem 10. If you pay attention to lecture and understand the homework you will have a great foundation for future chem courses. She genuinely care for her students and wants them to succeed so ask for help if you are struggling.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. This is definitely a difficult class, but if you attend every lecture, stay on top of homework, and ask questions, you can earn an A. As someone who hates science, I was afraid to take this, but she was super organized, clear, helpful, and appreciated my questions. She really cares about students success.

Bautista was a great teacher and easy to learn from. She pushes you to do your best and expects nothing less. Everything you need is in the lecture so definitely show up. Her class is not that hard if you just show up and do the homework. She is super open to her students and always engages during her office hours. Take advantage of that.

Dr. Bautista is absolutely the most wonderful chemistry professor you could ever take. She is compassionate, extremely helpful, respect for her students time, and a perfect teaching pace. Labs are very interactive and she will answer any question you may have. Homework, studying, and office hours are very helpful in this class. TAKE HER!!!!!

Honestly a great teacher. If you listen carefully to her lectures, participate in class, ask questions and go to her office hours, you will succeed. However, she gives a lot of homework. Dedicate a lot of your time to this class. She really cares for her students and wishes for everyone to pass. My biggest advice is to go to her office hours.

Dr. Bautista has amazing lectures and it's super important to take good notes. The material builds on what was taught in early chapters so if you have any questions take advantage of her office hours. It's not difficult if you dedicate time in understanding your notes. Her grading can be tough but if you take your time on exams you'll do great!

Professor Bautista is such a wonderful instructor. She has made me fall in love with chemistry again. Her lectures are hilarious and she always makes sure that her students don't fall behind. Although this class is not an easy A and participation through lab reports, homework, quizzes and other work are needed to succeed. Highly recommended to take

She was such a good teacher and I really enjoyed her class. However don't miss class if you want to succeed because she goes very fast and if you miss a class is like failing half of the exams. the homework and lecture containing a lot of the information that she puts in her exams so studying those would be very helpful

I'm only reflecting on my PERSONAL experience taking her class for chem 10. I thought her lectures were very helpful and informative. She was very clear about topics and made sure we built a good foundation for the later chem courses. Gives lots of homework, but make sure to do it as it helped me a LOT. Laid a good foundation for me for chem 11.

Dr. Bautista is a great professor and person. She can be strict but she wants to prepare her students for the following chem courses. Don't miss a single lecture because you will fall behind! Do the homework, ask questions, and study!!! You don't really need the textbook but it is online. She is super helpful during office hours.

Dr. Bautista is a phenomenal professor who truly cares about her students. I highly recommend going to office hours as much as possible, even to ask one simple question. If you stay on top of the homework, attend class, and ask questions you'll be fine. Make sure to be thorough and go slow on exams as they can be tricky.
