really sweet and funny lady, but that doesnt make up for her teaching...all she does is write a bunch of random crap on the board and you copy it and you leave the class not knowing ANYTHING new. so be prepared to read. or go to brewers class.

Avoid at all costs, rambles relentlessly and easily gets off topic. Also has major mood swings, and giggles to herself during class. Take Brewer if you have the chance she is a lot more insightful and knows how to teach it well!!

Dr. Norman knows her stuff, but is EXTREMELY moody and not very helpful. She is cocky and acts like a 2nd grader at times. I would recommend that if at all possible, take Brewer. The material is HARD and you HAVE to study to pass. Norman's notes aren't the best, but are helpful. Norman herself, however, is NOT.

She is awful!! Doesn't explain anything clearly. She thinks shes funny but she makes no sense at all. Just does examples and expects you to understand for the test. Do the hw and u can pass she isn't worth going to class for. If you can choose another teacher do it!!!!

If you get her, try to switch to brewer. Honestly the worst teacher I've ever had. Thinks everyone knows the same amount she does and flies through slides. you will not finish writing, I guarantee it. Hardly does practice problems. Go to drill and rework practice tests, but know that the test will be 3 times harder.

She's obviously a very bright researcher but this woman cannot teach to save her life. In the few weeks that I had her before I withdrew, she called us 'a group of 3 year olds' and also refused to show how to work problems students asked her to. Moody, awful, and assumes we already know chemistry so she doesn't bother to explain it. Get out!

Norman was the worst teacher i have ever had. Her lectures are everywhere and she has trouble teaching chemistry. I ended up going to another teacher to learn chemistry.

I had her for University Chem. She had trouble explaining concepts constantly and seemed to struggle with the material herself at times. Not helpful if you ask her questions. Take any other teacher if you can. Wonder when the department will finally find someone else to teach this class instead of her.

going to class was pretty much worthless, I had to do everything on my own. Also, the online homework was far different from what we were asked on the test.

Makes easy topics difficult to understand by needlessly inserting analogies rather than explaining the science like you would expect in a class for engineers.

More often than not, you can find her standing in front of the class rambling on about her kids in kindergarten or some confusing analogy to chemistry rather than deeply explaining the logic and process behind problems. She wastes time and often comes to class with a bad attitude. Her lectures are confusing and not helpful. Avoid if possible.

Lies to you about difficulty of tests and is impossible to follow in class as she goes off on her rants about Colorado. One of the worse teachers I've had

This class almost made me drop my ChemE major until I realized chemical engineers don't use most of this crap. Classes were way too overpopulated, and material was not presented in a clear manner. Bonus points will get you a good grade, but you will leave feeling confused and often disheartened after every test.

Super rude

Dr. Norman is one of the absolute worst teachers I've ever had. Luckily, the class is fairly easy and she does give a lot of bonus. She is EXTREMELY rude to the students who ask questions and to the rest of UofA staff. Unfortunately, this class is required and there is no way to get around it. You will do most of your learning in SI.

Terribly unclear, each lecture is just endless rambling with a bit of what appears to be chemistry thrown in. Knows the material well, does not know how to teach it. If someone asks for a worked example, she will work the example without explaining how she does the work, leaving the student no more clear. Worst science teacher I have ever had.

Norman rambles, doesn't understand how to explain things, and her tests seem to come out of left field as they aren't from the online homework and deviate somewhat from her practice test. She isn't very good, try not to take her. Offers a letter grade's-worth of extra credit, so take advantage of that and you'll pass.

She's just not very good at lecturing. She goes off on random tangents and teaches in a confusing style. She doesn't seem to teach chemistry in the right order. Almost like she just picks a random chemistry topic for the day

Simple case of sweet person, but horrible teacher. Goes off on rants. Teaches as if we are already supposed to know the material. Does NOT make you feel like wanting to learn. Makes you feel dumb. Take it in the summer and just do your work. In the summer she gives alot of bonus points and there is no hw.

Dr. Norman is a horrible professor. She will dog on you for not understanding something instead of explaining it calmly and kindly. She needs to understand that yes it's easy for her, but it's not easy for most people. At the beginning she will talk about how she hates teaching Chem I and loves teaching Chem II. She hates teaching in general.

She is not clear in her lectures. They are unorganized and filled will a lot of unusable information. She does not like teaching lower level chemistry but she stated no one else would do it. I am going to take chemistry elsewhere.

great

Worst professor ever. She is condescending and all over the place in her lectures. She expects everyone to do well on the tests and homework and come to class being a master in chemistry. she is always messing up calculations and confusing the entire class. you have to take everything she says with a grain of salt which sucks if you're struggling.

The single most disorganized teacher I've met

Mya was extremly rude to me and disinterested in teaching. I took her for a lab and she was so disrespectful in her emails. She was condescending and sarcastic. I would recommend you to take anyone else. Spare yourself the adgitation of dealing with someone this irritable.

Terrible proffesor. Instead of teaching, wastes everyone's time by giving terrible jokes such as shoving babies in an elevator. You have to teach yourself outside of class to learn.

Does not teach, even though this class is required for engineering majors. You have to teach yourself outside of class because she wastes class time by distracting students with jokes that they do not find funny.

Took class because required for my major. However, this professor didn't teach the class anything and just told random jokes that only she found funny. If possible, find a different professor.

Definitely, don't take her 8 am class she is so unorganized always frustrated with something whether its the technology or students not knowing what's happening. She tries to make jokes but no one thinks they're funny. I would try and find a different professor if possible

I haven't even completed this course yet and professor Norman is actually insane. Terrible professor and is all over the place. She expects you to know everything already so you end up just teaching yourself outside the class. I strongly recommend everyone to choose a different professor. I wish I had more character to explain how terrible she is.

Wastes our class time when this class is required for some of us by telling us stupid jokes that she doesn't apparently realize that nobody in class finds funny but herself. Doesn't care about her students at all. Find a different professor, if possible. Also, if I had more characters, I could say more.

She assigns homework for things she hasnt taught yet and then gets behind and so you do Quantum stuff by yourself and dont know if youre doing it right till 4 weeks after the homework is due.

Doesnt teach a thing. Very sarcastic and passive aggressive. Expects students to know everything before class since its backwards platform

Assigns way too much homework and doesn't teach material, making homework take longer than it actually should

Assigns a lot of homework, but forces us to spend more time on it by not teaching the material during class time. Gets very distracted with other things during her lectures and tends to be a bit disorganized.

Does a terrible job with teaching material. Too disorganized.

Doesn't do a good job of teaching, considering that I had to teach myself outside of her lectures to get an A, proving it's possible to pass her class, though you have to put more work, where if you were to have a different professor, you may not have to spend as much time to learn material.

She is very condescending and not patient. Her teaching style is all over the place and she does not do a good job of explaining the material. Her thoughts are very disorganized, making it hard to keep track of what is happening.

There is a lot of homework, attendance points matter, not the best teacher at all

Dr. Norman is by the far worst teacher I have ever had. She's demeaning and doesn't care about her students at all. I would avoid her if you can. She's so disinterested in teaching. She also gets mad at her students for asking questions and not knowing the answer. If I could go back, I would've waited a whole semester for another class to be open.

Norman may be the worse teacher I have came across in the 14 years I have been in school. She is very intelligent and understands what is going on but she is horrible about teaching the message. Her class is mandatory even though going will only make you more confused, she talks a lot about her personal life and how she is here for research.

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT GO TO THIS CLASS. THIS IS THE WORST PERSON YOU WILL TAKE. DO NOT DO IT. YOU WILL NOT GET NOT EVEN A B. DO NOT DO IT. I CAN SAY MORE BUT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SAY IT HERE BUT DANG IT IT WAS THE MOST AWFUL EXPERIENCE IN MY ENTIRE ACADEMIC CAREER THUS FAR. DO NOT TAKE HER, I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH.

My course was based off of a flipped classroom and I learned more at home than I did in class. She is terrible at explaining things and complains about her life and the students grades rather than teaching the actual course. There is an option to take the class with either Mrs. Norman or Mr. Gerner at the UofA; I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Gerner.

The class itself isn't super challenging but the professor sucks! I would not recommend anyone to take her but unfortunately I believe shes the only one teaching this course next year. Lectures are mandatory but don't help at all you're basically just showing up for the participation points not because it'll help. GOOD LUCK!

I worked so hard for my grade, did extra tutoring and everything and still received a terrible grade. She was unapproachable and tough. Do not take

She gets mad at students when they dont understand yet fails to teach. The classroom is flipped so theres about 10+ hours of homework yet when I go into the lecture Im more confused then when I went in. She doesnt know how to teach the material. One was the lowest score I could give.

I genuinely think that Mya Norman is by far the worst professor on the campus. A flipped classroom with around 10+ hours of homework due twice a week, and if you are struggling with the homework, don't look for her to clear things up for you. Best bet is to get a tutor because she's about as useless as it comes for a professor

Had this professor two semesters ago. Did not teach and wasted class time by telling jokes nobody found funny, but herself. Take Dr. Gerner, if possible.

She just honestly didn't know how to teach and her class was just weird. I did not like it at all.

The class itself is very standard, but the way she teaches... Can I even call it teaching? She never fully explains a topic before moving on or assigning a problem for points.

Assigns too much homework and does not teach material. The class is easy, but you have to teach yourself outside of class. She wastes time by telling jokes that are not funny. Take a different professor if possible.

Dr. Norman knew her stuff when it came to chemistry, but did a terrible job and teaching it. I learned absolutely nothing from her class and the only reason I even passed was because of my drill TA. Dr. Norman also frequently made comments putting down students for putting a wrong answer during class. Overall just a horrific teacher.

Prof. Norman will often gloss over information that is important to anyone taking the class, however if she feels like it is common knowledge or isn't worth her time she will not bother covering it. Expect 10 or more assignments every week, and be prepared to be 100% lost in her classes. At least she isn't boring, so you can laugh while you fail.

I made it 3 weeks into professor Normans class before I realized I just needed to drop and try for prof gerner next semester. My last day of class something seemed off with Norman, she was jumpy and jittery and could not focus on the topic at hand. No accusations, but she was acting a lot like someone strung out on meth. I wouldnt put it past her

You would be just as well off to skip the lectures and read the textbook (which you'll be reading extensively and probably multiple times if you want to receive an A anyways) EXCEPT; attendance of the sporadic, awkwardly presented, written in the most minimalist way possible lectures is mandatory for 10% of your grade. Cool person, but worst class.

If you can avoid taking her class, AVOID IT. She makes everything 10x more difficult and confusing. News flash: when the entire class does bad on an exam, it's likely due to your teaching style. I did so much better in the class teaching myself than listening to her. DO. NOT. TAKE. HER. If you do, be prepared to teach yourself chemistry!

Took this prof last year and she sucks. Didnt learn a single thing from her and I never missed a day of class. Your better off with any other professor because taking Mya Norman is a waste of time and money.

Worst class ever. Get ready to teach yourself chemistry. Even in class, you have to answer questions on the clicker about topics she hasnt even taught yet in class! And then she gets upset when only 5% of the class gets the answer right. She LITERALLY expects that you know everything. Tests are difficult & unfair. Take a different prof if you can

Wastes our class time by telling jokes, only she finds funny, which forces us to spend extra time, which can be used for other things, to learn what she fails to teach. She also assigns a lot of homework, even though the content itself is easy, so more time is wasted on this class. Only took it because required for my major.

Does not teach and tells stupid jokes. Avoid taking her if possible

Lacks social skills and laughs at her own jokes, which nobody else finds funny. My class had a little more than 500 students. Did not learn from lectures and had to spend extra time on homeworks. However, the content is easy. Just not happy about getting too much work and not learning in class.

This five week class was ALL time consuming and extremely frustrating for me. I had people in my family who are in pharmacy school and med school teaching me, and it was still the hardest class ever. On test nights, I got up super early, and stayed working and studying through the ams sometimes. If its not absolutely necessary, I would not do it.

Mya is my least favorite professor in my three years of college. she is the absolute worst and i do not feel bad saying it. My calculator broke during my final, so she kindly went and got me a new one but the final is math HEAVY. i lost about 10 minutes and ended up flunking . My final grade was a 79.7 & she refused to round despite the incident

I am in Professor Normans class right now and she is by far the worst teacher I have ever had in my life. On lecture her brain is everywhere. It's hard to sit there and listen to it because none of it makes sense. The ALEKS homework she gives you is terrible and is extremely time consuming. Be ready to teach yourself this class. Hardest class ever.

AVOID this prof/class if you can. Dr. Norman is ALL over the place. Started out this semester day 1 with her having a mental breakdown on camera. Her lectures are NOT helpful. Get ready to teach yourself. Most of us were unable to finish the tests and regrades were a joke. The Aleks program teaches you more than she does...

This is the worst professor I have ever taken at the U of A. She refuses to give partial credit on exams, she refuses to work with her student, her tests are extremely hard, her homework is long, she uses an online format for homework and exams so she doesnt even have to Grade them herself. I hated this class, I will never take class her again

Dr. Norman simply does not teach. You will be using a software that you will use to teach yourself. She also doesn't grade anything herself and is ruthless about giving points back, along with that there is zero partial credit. I have studied hours on end for her tests and still get an awful grade for no reason. She doesn't care about her students.

Dr. Norman doesn't care about her students & is overall RUDE/INCONSIDERATE! She isn't willing to help you improve, nor does she care how you are doing in the class. The tests are all or nothing, she gives NO partial credit, even on questions with 5 steps/filling out charts, if you miss 1 you get no points. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS, SAVE YOUR MONEY!

She is impossible to work with. I went to every lecture and study group, studied for weeks for exams, but still could never make higher than a D on the exam. She doesn't grade a single thing herself, it's all a computer. She NEVER gives you enough time on tests, so no one ever finishes, and she doesn't care. Please avoid taking her class!!!

Honestly this was the worst class I have ever taken. She expects you to teach yourself EVERYTHING, and don't you dare contact her outside of class because you won't get a response or if you do it will be SO RUDE that you will never want to message her again. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS, you are better off going to NWAC chem

Get ready to teach yourself all of the fundamentals of chemistry because that is basically what you are paying for!

I learned more chemistry through YouTube than I did in her class. Save yourself the trouble and take it with someone else.

Loves chemistry, but should NEVER teach it. Always goes off topic. Admitted Chem 2 made her lose her scholarship in college. Recommended to skip a long and difficult problem if it's on the exam because she couldn't do it, 60% was that specific problem in different formats. Exams always 10X harder, nothing like practice exams.

This is the worst teacher ever. I was 1% away from a B and she refused to let me do anything to make that up. She gives no partial credit and a website grades everything for her. This website also is mostly your teacher because she doesn't care about her students and doesn't teach anything. WORST TEACHER EVER!!!!!!!

I took Norman last semester and I recommend avoiding her at all cost. She is an awful teacher and you won't learn anything from her lectures. While I was taking this course attendance was mandatory, however if that's changed there is no point in attending her lectures. You will do and learn everything through ALEKS. She is very rude to students...

Don't take this Professor in the afternoon as she will often unprofessionally complain at length about being there late instead of teaching you chemistry. This professor is very obviously not focused on students at all and in turn most of your learning will be done in supplemental instruction and ALEKS. Often demoralizes students who ask questions.

Dr. Norman is 100% the worst teacher I have taken. Welcome to University of Arkansas where you teach YOURSELF chemistry. Consistently tries to crack jokes, though her lectures are the real joke. ALEKS is your teacher as it grades and teaches practically the whole class. OPENLY ADMITS she does not want to be there multiple times a class. Pitiful

SHE DOES NOT TEACH!!! She uses the online textbook (which is 10x harder and doesn't explain) and her lectures are all over the place. She has a terrible attitude and thinks if the whole class is failing its our fault, guess what ITS NOT. She is not helpful in the slightest and will only blame you for not doing enough instead of giving actual advise

she is awful!!!!! In class she rambles about anything but chem. You will teach yourself everything. Aleks homework is nothing like the test. Her practice tests nothing like the test. The only thing that saves your grade is the mandatory SI. DO ALL ASSIGNMENTS or you wont pass.

Dr. Norman is smart/knowledgeable, but a god-awful professor. No extra credit, no grace on incomplete coursework, responds rudely to emails, never stays on topic, doesn't explain coursework in a way that is understandable. Provides no good way to prepare for the exams which are INCREDIBLY hard and weighted very heavy. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS!!

Mya Norman knows lots about chemistry, but does not spend the time teaching her students. This semester all she talked about was Covid, the vaccine, and how she is renovating her kitchen. I was incredibly frustrated when I reached out via email about being worried about my grade asking for extra credit and all I get in return is a nasty email. 0/10

Shes really, really bad. Chemistry took over my life for a semester. I took AP chem in high school, I love science, I care about my academics, and I take pride in how I do in classes. This class though- AWFUL. Its finals week and Im just so done with her and the class.

I could go on and on about her. After a semester of chemistry, for the final, there is no study guide, review, or formula sheet. She never posted the past tests with the IMPOSSIBLE problems worked out either, so most students are completely helpless. The definition of I do this because I get paid, not because I want to teach.

Her lectures are pretty pointless. She rambles on about other things and when she is talking about chemistry, she flies through the slides. She would even get her own questions wrong and not know how to work some of the problems but would expect us to know. Lots of homework and studying since you basically have to teach yourself.

I do not recommend taking chemistry with professor Norman. I had to use outside sources to teach myself all of the material. It was a very difficult class, which I wouldn't mind so much if I were guided by a decent professor; however, she likes to talk about random things instead of teaching during class time.

She is literally the worst professor I've ever had. Always told me to "deal with it" or "figure it out" when I had questions or issues. If you need CHEM for your degree you'll have to take her class, which is a bummer.

She does not teach clearly and the whole class you are learning how to do a problem three different ways and only one of them is correct but you won't know until you get your grade on the test back.

norman is one of the hardest teachers to follow. she gets very very off track in her lectures, and literally talks about anything and everything on the planet besides chem in class. when you have a question regarding content, she herself doesnt even know the content enough to help. this class is basically all self-taught.

Norman is quite literally the worst professor I've ever had. She'd go off on at least 5 random tangents per lecture, and get annoyed if you asked questions or did not understand a concept or problem after she had gone down a rabbit hole. She only complains about her home life, and does not prepare you well at all. I advise to not take her EVER.

She uses ALEKS for literally everything. The lectures don't teach you much, if anything. You will most likely be learning everything from the explanation portion on Aleks when doing your homework. Tests are hard and she doesn't give a good curve

professor norman isn't the greatest. her lectures are actually pointless... i just went to get the in-class points. soooo much homework and you have to teach yourself everything. you can get by with a decent grade but you def have to put the work in or you won't pass.

This class is based on how motivated you are to do your work. You will have lots of homework every week. The test are doable but definitely not easy.

I had Mya Norman for University Perspectives, and she was a lot. She is very intense and likes to hear herself talk. Somehow she turned our class into her little chemistry class, which I know she teaches. She was not extremely pleasant, but her grading was straightforward.

Just look at how many awful ratings she has:/ I had to teach chemistry to myself all semester because she teaches it as if we should already know this information. Chem department sucks here.. take it somewhere else if you can.

Professor Norman didn't teach me one thing all semester. I learned everything I knew off of the program ALEKS we use for homework and watching videos. This class is doable to get a good grade but it requires a ridiculous amount of time and effort outside as lecture is pointless and honestly only confuses me more. Don't take Chem at UofA.

This class was almost the death of me. She always got off topic in her lectures and did not really teach what was actually on the tests. You basically have to learn everything on your own. If you have to take this class with her I recommend you find a tutor immediately.

Professor Norman showed up to class complaining about a new sickness every day, which would then be the reason why she got the examples wrong. Lectures are pointless and confusing. I let youtube teach me.

Difficult but not impossible. Do all your ALEKS homework (including the practice test) and make sure to go to class for attendance and the AKTIV (in class work). attendance is not mandatory but it will help in the long run. Go to the CORD for tutoring, lectures don't really help at all. She is snappy and sometimes rude but I'm sure not horrible.

If you can teach yourself the information you'll be okay. Tests are hard, but making sure you do all the homework and in class points will help your grade a lot. She likes to get off topic and talk about her personal life, hardly ever works out problems in class unless you're doing the in-class work (Activ).

She is the worst professor ever! She literally complains about everything. I heard about the spring time change still causing her problems in may. she literally wants to make your life miserable. The only way to pass is by doing all the homework and getting every bonus point possible. She made me hate everything about my life! SIMPLY AVOID AVOID!!!

she literally does not teach anything, you have to teach yourself everything.... she sucks pls don't take her class if u actually want to do good!!!!! pls listen to me I am begging you

Norman has not good lectures, she tries to be funny but is not. If you want to jump around topics like listening to an enigma of scattered thoughts , take this class bc you're going to be getting most your info from the textbook and ALEKS explanations. She is not nice in general .Final exam is cumulative so good luck. bad professor

Okay. Here's the deal with Dr. Norman. She is super scattered and unorganized. She was never prepared for class and always left you hanging. She did like 5 problems the other day and got 4 wrong! This class was a complete waste of my time. She treats each lecture like a review, so good luck teaching yourself all the material.

very unorganized and jumps around topics A LOT

Her class was very difficult, and I felt like I was teaching myself.

Genuinely one of the worst classes ive ever taken. Shes all over the place, doesnt teach, and solely relies off aleks to do her job. My grade was saved because of the SI sessions so make sure to attend that.

Professor Norman, while kind, heavily depends on ALEKS for chemistry. She digresses frequently in lectures, expecting rapid comprehension. Prepare to self-teach for success in this course, investing ample time and effort to grasp the meticulous details of chemistry as ALEKS will take away your progress toward completion after an incorrect answer

I took chem 2 in a 5week summer class and I can say I would never take a class with this professor ever again. While the information is already condensed into such a short period of time, she wastes a lot of that time rambling about her personal life. her husband, kids, mom, what's happening in her day to day. She makes difficult concepts harder.

Dr. Norman should not have been given a job at this university. Her teaching skills are non-existent. I learned more by regularly attending tutoring and teaching myself the course content than by attending her lectures. I emailed her on several occasions and never received a response. You will not have a social life when taking this course :)

I would tell anyone who is looking to take CHEM at the university of Arkansas to think twice before taking this class, this professor will give you so much homework you will never have a break, she doesn't understand how to lecture and won't stop talking about her family and private life. She is awful at lecturing and rushes through lectures.

This professor doesn't actually teach, I've had to teach myself everything.

Norman is a very sweet human, but an AWFUL professor. She is very helpful outside of lecture but it can be hard to reach her, she's also very passive aggressive. You have to teach yourself the entire course, and it is not easy. ALEKS, while it may be a hastle to do the homework, the homework and reviews are identical to the test, so it's passable

you have to teach yourself everything because during class she just talks about herself

Only talks about herself in lectures and the little time she is not doing that she is not teaching, just running through the slides and in class assignments. She was extremely rude to me and would not take my accommodations seriously.

This course isn't too difficult, however I do not recommend this professor. The lectures in my opinion weren't helpful at all because the prof would consistently get side tracked to her personal life and would make the lecture feel super awkward. Her teaching style is difficult to understand and felt like I had to teach myself chemistry to do well.

Do not take this class if you don't have to!!! She is truly one of the worst professors I have ever had. The only reason I didn't get an F was because of doing the homework. She doesn't explain anything she is doing during lecture, she just kind of writes stuff on the board and expects you to understand. She also rambles so much during class.

The whole class is ALEKS heavy. I was glad it wasn't mandetory because her lectures are very much not useful at all. She talks about nothing relevant to the homework and/or tests. I taught myself the whole semester through the homework and ROXI on youtube. I never went to class and got an A. This class did not prepare me for future classes.

Oh boy, in this class everything is on ALEKS so be ready. I will say she does do regrading on exams (except for the final which is why my grade went down) and you get a whole page of notes on the exams. Class isn't really necessary I found it easier to just teach myself and I had a great SI leader to help me out as well.

Mya Norman expects her students to already know the material she is “teaching” and does not care to explain anything. You're better off just teaching yourself through the Aleks HW, I got 100+ on all the tests just by that, and the Aleks reviews contain everything you need for the test. Don't rely on her for anything if you have any questions ask SI

Her teaching style was very unclear and difficult to understand. She was also very unhelpful when it came to asking clarifying questions. The class also required several hours of homework a week, and more than once she moved up deadlines.

BADDD CLASSS!!!! She is very unhelpful when asked questions, her lectures are also no help, she can barley get through a sentence without laughing, she gets off topic very easy, the only reason I understood what was happening was because SI and YouTube, however she does give a lot of bonus. Overall 10/10 do not recommend taking this professor!!!!!!

You basically teach yourself, she is a very nice person in general but not a good professor at ALL. Be prepared to spend hours on ALEKS or going to her lectures and not grasping anything, she goes off topic completely, literally starts talking about things that have nothing to do with chem and makes it so hard to understand what she is teaching.

Disrespectful and goes very off topic during class. Taught myself almost every single topic, would absolutely NEVER take this class with this professor again.

Awful is not even the word for her. She doesn't teach. You will learn nothing. Be prepared to self teach yourself. Exams are super hard and not clarity on review. She is nice but an awful professor and doesn't help. She will belittle you if you ask for help and make you feel stupid. She just thinks everyone should know what they are doing.

She is all over the place and talked about things that weren't chemistry quite a bit. It got so unbearable that I eventually just couldn't keep up. She flies through everything and doesn't explain the problems well. There is a lot of reading and aleks work, but I found that the textbook didn't help. Find a better teacher, trust

RUN RUN RUN RUN FAR

Just so you know, if you take her class, it is almost impossible to pass her class or even understand any of the topics that she "teaches." She doesn't deserve to teach anyone and brings down every student possible even when they actually need help. Attendance is mandatory and you have to show up. The test are nothing like what you tried to learn.

Impossible to learn in the class, basically self-learning class. Only bonus is that we get cheat sheets front and back which is nice. When someone asks her a question and when she's solving it, she does it so fast and without actually explaining how she got this or that.

RUN!!! Be prepared to teach yourself and get a tutor. She is a nice person. She responds quickly to emails, but she didn't help with jack crap. Only good thing is she does is provide cheat sheets and that is it. I am dumber for taking this class. I am just glad it is over and I never have to take chemistry again. OMG Uark needs to fire her.

Literally if you can take chemistry at a community college instead of with this horrible professor.

DO NOT TAKE HER EVER. SHE DOES NOT TEACH I HAD TO SPEND HOURS TEACHING MYSELF THROUGH CHAT GPT AND YOUTUBE. SHE IS AWFUL. DO NOT TAKE HER.

DONT TAKE CHEM WITH HER. She makes you feel dumb if you don't understand just as much as her WITH A DOCTORATE. she cant teach basic chemistry and Ive learned more from youtube than her. I have failed every test, as well as every other person i have talked has also failed every test. Only nice if you meet one on one, but not helpful at all.

Overall she is a very nice, and a genuine person. However, she can't hold a conversation without getting off topic, or laughing. Very hard to understand what she is teaching, and makes the concepts more difficult than needed. You will rely on SI and Youtube for the class.

The lectures were awful. She doesn't know how to teach!

Horrible teacher. Attendance is required for participation points but I never learned a single thing from her class. Taught myself everything through YouTube and SI. She can't get through 1 sentence without laughing for no reason. Expects you to know everything before going into class and gets mad when you don't. Don't recommend her at all.

She would be doing everyone a favor if she stopped teaching. Honestly, all over the place and isn't a very good teacher. Would probalby do better jsut to not go to class because it makes me more confused trying to listen to lectures. She is very nice and gives some extra credit and points back on tests.

Do. Not. Take. Dr. Norman. I taught myself everything through YouTube videos before each exam. She goes off topic every lecture, and attendance is required. She does not answer questions fully, and just says it's "common sense". There is a significant amount of homework on ALEKS, and your grade is largely determined by exams, homework, and SI.

Do not take Dr.Norman!!! She does not explain how to get from point A to point B. She expects you to know the material before she lectures on it in class. One time in class, she called us slow for not knowing how to do an equation. Gets off topic easily and laughs every 1-3 minutes at the most random things. Had to teach myself everything!!

she will not make you feel so dumb. i had to learn chem off of youtube and would've passed with a c in her class if it wasn't for her final. she gave a 46 question review that literally took DAYS and then maybe 10 questions on the final were similar to the review. run while you can. ark needs to get a new fund chem prof ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Immediately run. Do not take this class with this professor. When I say take it somewhere else I mean it. She literally does not care about anything to do with chemistry and if you ask her a question she will quite literally make fun of you. I learned everything on youtube and it still wasn't enough. RUN FAR AWAY ASAP.
