The class it self is a very heavy contented class. Not only she doesn't teach well, but without letting you digest what she had thought you the class before, she quizzes you on it the next class. Constant quizzes which makes you feel like your in Elementary School. So therefore getting a decent grade is not doable even if you want to. Tests = Undo

She is a great teacher. If you ask she explains everything over and over again. Quizes prepare you for tests and are pretty easy. The class itself isn't easy and you really have to study, but she makes it easier. She is also very nice and friendly. If you have to take a chemistry, I strongly reccomend this teacher.

She is an OK teacher overall, definitely not the best. Gives quizzes every class on the lecture before that class, so if you don't study regularly, you will fall behind. She is friendly and easy to talk to so at least you won't be hesitant to ask her questions.

**took her only for CHM 112 lab* don't take her for lab. she makes you turn in lab the same lab class, but if you don't finish you can turn it in the next day at the latest, but she gives you a dirty look. also she is quite condescedning when you ask a question. like she straight up told me "It's not that hard I don't know how you're confused"

I thought Id comment on Prof Jahangeri since I feel the reviews are not accurate. I was weary of taking her this semester because of Couple of negative reviews but her section fit my schedule so I decided to take her anyway. I am very happy with my choice as she is an amazing professional and a very kind person. She is a great teacher!
