Horrible Lectures. Never learn anything in class. Makes frequent mistakes in examples during lectures. Excessive amounts of homework. Exams and quiz's are full of trick questions, which makes them impossible. She never responds to emails. Good extra credit assignments, which is the only positive thing about this professor.

Mrs. Rabinovich...I went to her for help on mastering chem HW and she gave me 5 out of 5 wrong answers. Half the examples she does on the board she does wrong and half the class laughs at her and the other half tries to help her. She should not be a college professor at all.

Poor lecturer and does not have a commanding voice which means she does not do well explaining the fundamentals of chemistry. For tests and quizzes, she will leave open-ended answers and unless you answer the exact way she wants it, you will lose points.

She has a thick accent and is hard to hear sometimes, make sure you pay close attention. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities make sure you take them all because any little extra point here and there can really help you out.

The WORST professor I've ever had, period. Completely unorganized, routinely makes mistakes, gives pop quizzes with very vague directions while looking for a specific step-by-step answer, terrible with communication. Do all you can to avoid her.

She is not a very goof professor. She is not organized at all and is late to every class. She gives quizzes at the end of class with less than 10 minutes to complete when they need at least 20 minutes. I would not recommend her to anyone.

She is awful. I made a B, but that was because I taught myself. Getchemistryhelp dot com is really helpful to an extent. You have to go to class because she counts participation and doesn't tell you when she is giving quizzes. Offers extra credit, but lab notebook is not worth it, only two points for hours worth of work. Final is mostly terms.

She was not good at getting students to understand the information and when she gives you pop quizzes on things you just learned that lecture sometimes. The class would have been better if the quizzes weren't pop quizzes. I understand the logic behind it but I don't understand why we get quizzes on things we barely had time to look at.

Barely speaks English, constantly shows up late to class and is extremely disorganized, lots of pop quizzes, not friendly. By far worst teacher when it comes to the subject manner I have ever experienced.

She's rude, uses improper grammar, gives you quizzes every class and will not tell you what's on them. She doesn't give study guides. The extra credit assignments are ridiculously long and time-consuming with little reward. She's cold hearted, hates people. No wonder 25% of the class dropped out! She taught chapters FOR an exam AFTER doing the exam

The worst professor I have had in my entire life. She was very difficult to understand due to her heavy accent. She would often mess up while working on a problem and needed the help of students to give us the correct answer. I never walked out of class feeling like I've learned anything. She also would put things on exams she hadn't taught yet.

She was a horrible professor and difficult to understand at times with her accent. I would usually attend class only for pop quizzes but read the textbook there on my own because I could not learn from her.

She has a thick accent so it is very difficult to understand her at times. She is rude and firm. Gives a lot of in class quizzes and the smallest mistakes will result in points off. Uses improper grammar and spelling. She gets confusing a lot based on her word use and is difficult to follow.

She speaks low, not towards the class, heavy accent. Has issues, gets quite insecure if your attention isn't 100% nor feels respected to her delusions; she doesn't respect her students, rude, emotional and irrational- will ignore & not understand you. She can't teach. Uses many filler words "uh" "right?" "um"- no confidence. She gives me anxiety.

One of the hardest classes I have taken at UNCC. It isnt because an introduction course to chemistry is difficult. Her grading is so harsh and rules are so strict (basic calculators and NOT graphing, mandatory solution maps for answers through simple math) that it is impossible to pass if not done her way. The material is easy, her rules are strict

She waste most of the time fussing at the class and when asked for help even going to office hours she doesn't help clear things up . The practice questions she gives are nothing like what's on the test and her lectures are very boring. . She gives quizzes every single Thursday and they're are easier to fail then . Worst professor I've ever had.

She's absolutely horrible. Gets her own questions wrong and won't rewrite notes despite her error. Cough in her class? Shell be sure to publicly humiliate you in front of the whole class. Lectures are helpful but she honestly makes too many mistakes to be teaching. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS

Just don't take her class if you don't have to. You'll thank me later.

Do not at all costs take this teacher. I had to withdraw. She can barely speak English and I is impossible to understand. She constantly messes up on the board 20 min into an example and restarts the problem making you re-write the entire thing. Also if you miss the smallest grammatically error on a quiz you will get it wrong. STAY AWAY

I can't tell you the exact reason why she suck, because I don't know why. She seems to hit all the points. The lectures aren't bad and the pop quizzes shouldn't be hard, but at the end of the day you'll end up getting a 65 when you should have gotten a 80+ along with a bunch of other students. It's like her class is cursed or something.

Worst teacher I had freshman year of college. We've been in class for weeks and she continues to give us the wrong access links to the eText. She spends half an hour in lecture going over one question, then gives you a quiz at the end and expects you to complete it in five minutes. AVOID PROFESSOR.

She is one of the worst professors at the school. Avoid her at all costs. She spends majority of the class on one problem. She gets an attitude when answering questions. There are quizzes every week and they aren't how she taught the lesson. She is constantly late and inconsiderate of people's time. She makes so many mistakes.

Prof. Rabinovich is very tough when it comes to grading any quiz/test. She wants you to OVEREXPLAIN things when it should just be a simple yes or no question. I would not recommend at all to take her for intro. She overexplains topics during lectures that will leave you more confused than when you started.

This professor is not great. She makes a lot of mistakes that students have to correct, she always asks what time her own class ends, comes in late, makes the class harder than it should be by wanting students to over explain simple problems, gives quizzes every week that even if you are prepared for will fail and shes hard to understand. Avoid!

By far the worst professor I've had. Very rude to students. Seems as if she learned the info the day of teaching it to the class. Tended to grade many questions wrong on tests. 10/10 don't recommend.

She relied heavily on a system called ALEKS, which is like mastering chemistry, but 100x worse. We taught ourselves everything through aleks, and then when we got to class she would tell us we could not solve the problems the way aleks showed us, which made the class even more confusing.

She came into class late EVERY SINGLE DAY. She can be very rude to the students when they would ask questions. She is also very particular in how she wants you to show work on exams. If you do not over explain everything, she will count the whole question wrong, even if the answer is right.

Quite possibly the worst teacher/professor I've had in my lifetime. Over explains just about everything, goes over maybe 3 problems within an hour and ten minutes and then gives you five minutes to complete and 20 question quiz. The worst professor I've had. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

She is absolutely terrible.

She is technically the Lab professor but I have only seen her once, she was only present when she heard our class and came in to reprimand our actual lab teacher (a Graduate Student). Our lab professor was literally just trying to help us. She doesn't allow phones or allow talking. She is the only lab professor, she lets graduate students teach.

Just dont take her, Im warning you now.

This class was tough and is not set up for the students. She does not care whether students pass or fail and confuses students in lecture. We are given ALEKs work which does not help. Overall this is a course I would not recommend taking with this professor.

More times than not, she showed up more than 10 minutes late to Lab, but if you show up late, you get a 0 on the quiz. She is a very sweet lady, but it's difficult to understand what she wants from you in class.

Professor Rabinovich is very nice as a person but I wouldn't take a class from her ever again. I withdrew from her chem 1200 because there was no way I was going to pass. She gives useless homeworks that take 6+ hrs daily to complete. Her tests contain material not covered in class. Gives too many hand-outs. UNCC needs to do better!

She was very disorganized and doesn't know how to explain things. When someone asks a question, she doesn't know how to answer that question. Also, she doesn't speak loud and her class is very boring. She doesn't even try to get the student's attention. She just speaks in monotone the whole time. Oh and also, after exams we would have a lecture.

I cant even understand her more than half the time. Lecture makes sense & she over explains things to the point of boredom, BUT BEWARE the exams & quizzes are HARD. I have an associates in science & I think this class is extremely hard. WAY too much homework, literally hours of work assigned at a time, that she does not tell you about.

LITERALLY THE WORST PROFESSOR AT UNCC. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. i took her for 1200 and she failed me and i took 1251 this semester and i have an A.. she purposefully fails people and makes FUNDAMENTALS of chemistry difficult when it shouldnt be. i have her for chem lab now and she is very inconsiderate and rude. i dont know how she still works here.

Very unprofessional. Ignores emails. Class is planned poorly, and you have one week to do a major assignment using specific software.

Worst professor I've ever had. Over half my class failed, she gave us between 4-10 hours of homework every weekend and would only open the homework assignment the Friday before and it was due on Sunday. She doesn't understand the content she is teaching. When you ask questions she completely ignores the question and goes on rants about other topics

AWFUL!! I would not recommend this professor to my worst enemy!! She does not care at all about her students and does not know the material very well. She teaches everything straight out of the book and is corrected by a student at least once a week for an error she made. If you have her as an instructor, GOOD LUCK!

I'd rather roll down a hill in a port-a-john than take her again. Tests were too hard, chem homework due every night, half of my class failed the final and class and it was only the intro to chem... I did great in high school in chemistry however taking her made me feel like I was stupid.

Probably the worst professor at UNCC by far. She doesn't care about students and makes it her personal mission to fail as many students as possible. She does not trust us at all and goes to extremes to enforce policies. Also assigns way too much hw for an intro class and doesn't give enough time for hw and quizzes and tests. DO NOT TAKE HER.

Worst teacher ever! Takes points off even when the answer is correct. Tests and quizzes are really heavily graded. Tutoring provided by the school won't help because according to them she's skipped over too much material. Tried study groups and everyone was struggling. And if you try to ask her for help shell insult you.

The worse individual to ever... she is always late uploading assignments to do. Everyone has lives also, but she extends due dates making us have to work around our own schedules out of the blue. Seems like her lab instructors are scared of her. Worse class and person to take.

she is just horrible

Literally the worst professor/teacher I have ever had. She barely responds to emails. I basically have to teach myself. She uses WebEx and writes using her mouse and the numbers are hard to read. Shes been going over SigFigs and Scientific Notation for the past month. Takes forever to put in grades. Everything one would want in a teacher isnt her

The professor doesnt teach all the material you need to know for her exams. You practically have to teach yourself chemistry. When she does teach, she usally has the class more confused at the end of the class than they were at the beginning of class. She is also fairly rude to students when they ask questions. 1/10 do not recommend

For a introductory chem class this is the hardest class ever. she does not review anything thats on the quizzes and tests , wont own up to her mistakes, but instead puts the blame on the students. Has no problem insulting students and refuses to help students when needed. Does not answer emails , chats on webex, and you cant communicate with her

I am never one to write a bad review but never have I ever met such an irresponsible professor. She wouldnt teach the content, and then when we did get the question right, she would accuse us of cheating. She was never available outside of class and 2 months later, she has still yet to respond to any of my emails. Please avoid her if possible.

Worst teacher at the school I promise. Doesn't even review all of the material for the tests and expects us to know everything. On top of all that, I don't even think she can fluently speak english. Hard to understand and doesn't even review the material for exams. Don't take this teacher I promise you will regret it.

Taking this class as hybrid during covid was awful. She has no idea how to use technology and simply open pdfs we submit for free responses on test. She has wasted class time to yell at students and her TAs are the only remotely helpful people who even still have not enough communication with her to teach us.

Worst chemistry class I have taken. First, her assigned work and the lectures do not match up, so you will be doing work on stuff never covered by her. Second, her accent makes it near impossible to fully understand. Third, all the TAs grade differently so tests are graded wrong and harshly. She does not offer extra credit nor curve her tests.

Wouldn't wish her on my worst enemy... not sure how she's still able to teach here.

She is just awful. You won't actually learn anything in this class even if you attend all of the classes and put in the work.

She spends so much time on one topic, and then when it comes to the quizzes and exams they're nothing like the assignments. The TAs are more helpful so I recommend attending the problem sessions. The exams and quizzes are really hard but if you study you should be fine.

Shes the only option for this class. She is disrespectful and not helpful at all.

To get started off, we did not have a single test in the class so far where she didn't seriously mess up one of the important questions. She also didn't respond to several of my emails and the ones she did respond to, she was disrespect and extremely vague. Personally, I learned the majority of the class through the homework assignments

She was never available and was just terrible overall, although we are in a pandemic she was the only teacher i had problems with. Lectures are horrible, the exams didnt correlate to what we were learning. Do not recommend at all.

This is the worst professor I have ever had. She is not understanding at all, lectures were boring and they dragged on, and she was not available for effective help outside of Zoom lectures. I ended up having to drop the course entirely because it was so difficult to understand what she was teaching. Relied too much on online homework to teach.

I recommend not having her as a teacher, she makes you do work way ahead of her lectures so when she's teaching she is teaching stuff you did last week or two. she barely responds to emails and does not care for a single person. are whole class is barely passing yet she will not curve anything, she does not understand its peoples first time online.

ABSOLUTE WORST TEACHER EVER! Do NOT take her class. I had her in person and online and she does not teach well AT ALL. Canvas wasn't letting me submit a free response to a test and when I emailed her about it she didn't care and gave me a 0. This dropped me from a B to a D. Everyone complains that they have a horrible grade and learned nothing.

Never again... she can't teach at all and it's so hard to work around this professor and all her guidelines

She does not care about her students success. During her lectures she would mute everyone and not let anyone ask questions so you had to type them. She would then ignore your questions in the chat. Her grading is borderline cruel with hyper specific detail that nobody would be able to do. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!

She ruined my gpa. If you don't like your gpa go to her to screw it up. No teaching sense, can barely understand what she's saying. Doesn't let questions be asked created fear to ask what we don't know. Pretends to be strict but actually doesn't know how to teach. Most horrible college professor I've had. Don't take her. Teach yourself chem instead

Miryam Rabinovich may be the worst teacher, professor, educator in the entire NC school database. Her classes are important and yet she makes them feel like a joke. She neglects to teach or help in any way. Dont take

Literally the worst professor ever. It's an embarrassment from the university to have allowed her to teach for this long. You can get the CORRECT answer on quizzes/assignments, but you will still get points taken off if it wasn't done HER way. She is extremely inconsistent, unorganized, unprofessional, and overall not a good teacher. AVOID HER.

Very well might be the worst teacher/professor I've had in my 20 years of living. She's rude to students over Zoom and on email. Not helpful at all when it comes to questions from students. Changes your grade without telling you why. Very unorganized and just lets her TAs do everything. I'd rather be taught chemistry by a high school freshman.

She is not understanding at all. Really hard class

Honestly don't think this woman has a heart,most uncaring person i have ever met. material is already difficult to understand but she makes in a hundred times harder than i should be. If you can avoid her class i would.

The worst. She is very rude and she is not good at answering questions or explaining things. She changes things last minute or will randomly change grades without proper explanation why. Even if you get questions right on quizzes/exams if it's not formatted the way she wants you can get the entire question wrong. I just ended up withdrawing.

One of the hardest classes I have ever had. I have never been on the verge of failing a class. One on One she is very nice, but everything else is unprofessional. Be ready to teach yourself! AVOID THIS CLASS

One of the worst professors I've had. She is hard to understand due to her accent, she barely teaches all the teacher's assistants (Alumnin's) do most of the work. Rarely replies to emails in an urgent manner. Grades very strictly, a lot of homework, talks very very slow, quizzes are harder than criteria taught.

Save yourself the trouble and take 1251 with a different professor, it's easier than 1200 anyway.

Grades are heavily dependant on tests, which always contained some aspect of error. Almost every test had to be regraded or modified because the test questions were wrong or were missing information. Grading is extremely specific but feedback lacks clarity. Overall teaching style is tough and unforgiving. Lectures were repetitive and didn't help.

Professor Rabinovich has a short temper. She does not like questions and will often not even answer them. The quizzes are graded way too harshly. The TAs are out to get you.

not sure why she is the only professor teaching this class; not thorough with teaching, doesnt actually go over prerecorded lectures; only goes over specific things in problem sessions; very rude replies to emails and isn't helpful at all; makes you look think the grade you have is all your fault; always late with posting assignments and grades

Not accessible at all to clarify her directions on the labs, as they were not explained well.

Arguably the WORST professor at UNCC. She doesn't care enough to explain in detail, grades tough (takes full points off if one thing is slightly different), doesn't respond to emails, and overall just terrible all around. UNCC clearly doesn't care about having bad professors, considering she still works here. Avoid her at all costs for GPAs sake!!!

As for Prof. M. Rabinovich last semester we started a week late and this semester we started two weeks late. Our exam was also scheduled on April 30th, the day of remembrance. It then had to be rescheduled to Saturday May 1 which inconvenience a lot of students. I do not feel that she is capable of being the lab coordinator, she is very unorganized

NEVER EVER AGAIN. Avoid at all cost. This lady will ruin your semester. Last minute lecture posting, was over a week late getting class started. Relies on TA's for everything, half the time in which they do not know what they are doing. Don't even take Chem1200, go straight to Chem1251. I withdrew from this class in March, a majority did aswell.

PLEASE AVOID HER. I knew I was getting into a bad experience when I saw the ratings from last semester, however, she was the only professor to teach chemistry lab. I am a good student and I STRUGGLED IN THIS CLASS. We had quizzes that were 15 questions, with 2 free response, and 10-minute time-limit (no going back once you have answered). AVOID!!!!

Very difficult class for an introductory course. Very hard to communicate with her, as it felt like she just did not know what she was doing. Did not express a lot of empathy with students considering the nature of this course being in the middle of a pandemic. I genuinely wish we had other profs that taught CHEM 1200. Like seriously, anyone else.

Horrible Professor. Makes countless mistakes and then blames it on students. I would give a 0 rating but i have to give at least a 1.5 so that should say enough

I would not take her for a Professor. Shes very caring, but her ways of teaching is not good. A lot of students fail her class cause a lot of the times shes not even ready on the first day of class. She will post assignments very late or very early when students are sleep. I got a lot to say, but if you can avoid taking this teacher do so.

Not good at all. Posts assignments the day before the due date(8:00 am) very inconsistent with responding to emails. Not understanding by any means. No late grades. A lot of the class is more self taught because her teaching style is confusing and very hard to pay attention.

WORST LAB INSTRUCTOR EVER. Took this course online and it was by far the biggest mistake of my life. The labs never have clear instructions. The quizzes is fairly easy if you pay attention to the notes and videos. Overall, they grade really tough on the labs and most of the time you will feel lost.

Most horrible professor to take. Very disrespectful and don't care about the student grades or learning. Would highly recommend not taking her

Literally the worst. My work hasn't been graded in over 6 weeks. Little material to help you learn. DO NOT BUY THE MANUAL. Literally just printed the labs and worked from there.

This course began a week later than the beginning of the semester and was dispersed into several groups and not taught directly by Prof. Rabinovich. There was a quiz at the end of each week, you couldn't go back and review answers before submitting the test, and the one time I directly contacted Prof. Rabinovich, she was very dry and rude.

Rabinovich is one of the worst professors I have ever seen at a university. She not only cannot teach a course and is pretty much out of the equation the entire semester, leaving everything to her incompetent TA's. If you get lucky enough to find a TA who gives you an easy 10/10 on each worksheet, be thankful. Otherwise, you are doomed.

This professor not finish teaching all the material. Was left confused on the final trying to figure out how to solve certain problems without any knowledge of doing so. Another thing, this professor has anger issues towards the students, common typos and does not stick to her word.

Her course is extremely hard, you can barely understand her. I pass honor general chemistry in high school with a 92% but barely passed this course. Most of the topic were similar but she didn't take my work because the answer was right but the work was not the one she thought it.

This class was completely online and there was barely any communication from the professor. Deadlines were extremely strict and missing just one assignment could tank your grade. We didn't finish the course material and the exam was difficult.

Rudest professor ever. Takes full points off for a small mistake on the problem solving submissions, will tank your grade. Beginning of semester the MyLab quizzes were usually around 15 questions with only a 10 minute timer. Horrible teacher.

Ignorant, rude, lazy. Said she would post work on Friday in Canvas and when I emailed on Monday asking she called me stupid saying to check my email when she hasn't sent out an email explaining why nothing has been posted. Ive never met a more selfish and rude professor in my life. Dont even bother taking her. Avoid at all costs

She spelled her own name wrong in her first email to my class. She doesn't know what she is doing. Even the simplest questions a fourth grader could answer she cant. Worst professor in the world by far. I really want to know where she went or her degree because I don't think she even has one.

This professor is not able to work with or for her students. She does not believe in leeway or in commandeering circumstances. She is rude and disrespectful to students. The manner in which she speaks to her students makes them feel as less than and she treats them as if they are a five year old in time out for mistakes that happen to everyone.

Very rude and condescending to students. Avoids answering questions. No communication. Responds to emails after weeks.

RUN! Do not take her! Avoid at all costs! She is by far the worst professor I’ve ever had. Very unprofessional when talking to students! Has major anger issues as well. Doesn’t like to help kids and is not afraid to call them stupid. She has no patience and is a harsh grader. If you’ve ever had her I’m sorry

This professor doesn’t want students to succeed. She has no respect for others. When you email her be prepared to be faced with attitude. She’s very defensive. She grades us only on quizzes which test us on subject we don’t cover in her class. She doesn’t teach either, just TAs who she doesn’t communicate with.

This professor is terrible!!! She doesn't care for any student when it comes to technical issues, despite relying solely on TA's to teach her class and using canvas a main source of quizzing. I had a technical issue for a worksheet and my submission failed, resulting me in a bad grade and her response was essentially "suck it up."

WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!! Be warned. She is the meanest and cruelest teacher ever. Absolutely no remorse. She forgets to open assignments constantly which leaves us with less time to complete them. I once had to stay up till 4 am doing a worksheet because she forgot to hit publish until midnight and it was due at 8 am in person.

Worst professor Ive had yet by far, regularly spends up to two hours explaining a lab that takes 20 minutes, leaving no time to finish and thus giving everyone late grades. Hard to understand and confusing.

WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! Literally takes 3 hours to explain an experiments directions and grades based on how she feels that day!!!

TERRIBLE. My TA and her were absolutely awful. I got a 79.87% in the class and she refused to round it up to a B. she said "there is nothing to do" no extra credit no help nothing. absolutely ridiculous. They ruined my gpa for what? Also, takes points off literally for fun. If you have this class I will be praying.

Rabinovich is the rudest, obnoxious, and most annoying professor. Her labs are confusing and have little to no instruction. The TAs are unprepared and don't know what we are expected to do. Be prepared for quiz questions that you weren't prepared for. Unfortunately, if you're Bio, Chem, Nursing, and need this class you're stuck with her. Good luck

Please if you can avoid this professor... AVOID them! This was one of the most difficult classes I had to take this semester and I'm surprised I got the grade I did. I have accommodations for assignments and she ignored them until she finally listened to my advisors. There are so many things I could say so just don't take her class!

This was by far the worst professor I have ever taken. She wasted one of my days waiting for a zoom I scheduled with her. There are many stories I could tell from the partial class that I took. She is extremely mean to all students and makes nasty comments. The course is extremely unorganized and the grading is insane. Do not take her classes.

For a 1 credit class she gives wayyy too much work. For pre labs we would have to write out the ENTIRE lab procedures, introductions and all this garbage "in our own words". There is absolutely no reason for doing this, its pointless busy work and it would take a long time. Professors like this are awful and ruin learning for students

No make up labs, but if you miss one lab your grade will drop by a letter grade. But good attendance does not affect your grade in any way. Very rude and disrespectful to students. Has yelled at students before. Pre-labs are generally 11-17 questions, but most of the questions have multiple parts. You have to print out your own lab sheets.

Rabinovich was my Chemistry Lab coordinator and Sara Salamat was my TA and it was pretty bad. At first I thought I was going to have to change classes in anyway but the more you do the labs the more you get a hang of the class. Outside of your resources there is quiet literally no help given and there was a lot of verbal negativity towards students

It started after the add/drop deadline or I would have dropped it. Grading is harsh, with 50% of the prelab for every question wrong and a supposed letter grade deduction for absences. Despite being 1 credit hour, pre-labs took anywhere from 2 hours to 9 hours to do. Hope for a good TA, or you will struggle. This class is designed to fail you.

Some of the prelabs were ridiculously long, we weren't allowed to print them out and had to write the questions by hand. A lot of the quizzes were hard for no reason and weighed a lot. I recommend taking it with Punnya, she was very helpful and not a harsh grader, avoid taking it with the actual professor. Extra credit opportunities available.
