She is very helpful in explaining any confusing areas that occur in the book. She is a very comfortable teacher.

very easy teacher

Easy course as long as you don't miss any classes. Something important goes on in almost every session, whether it's a pop quiz or a new HW assignment. She's a fairly easy grader, as long you know your stuff. And if you don't know your stuff, she's almost always available in her office to give help.

Very approachable and personable. I actually enjoyed her class and I never thought I would say that about chem lab! Highly recommend taking her class.

She is a great person and professor! She's very approachable and is always available to help during her office hours! If chemistry is not your strongest subject,it will become your strongest subject if you take her class!!

She is one of my all time favorite teachers. She is always there to help you and tries to make herself available whenever she is needed. The sweetest woman ever and I strongly recommend her. She is the only teacher I have ever had that gives her cell # to help students whenever they have questions

She is a great teacher if you really want to learn chemistry and excel at it when you are done. The class is very easy and understandable. Little tip, study really hard at first, every idea builds on the last one.

If you need any help she is there. She is happy to help you. She goes over everything clearly and veryslowly so ti is easy to understand. She will go over the lab before doing it so it seems easy when you do it!

The most helpul teacher I have ever encountered (besides being a nice person). She sincerely is interested in student's success. She makes the classs dynamic, fun, and understandable. If you are afraid of taking chem, take it with her because she will help you always.

She is a great teacher. Even if you are horrible at Chem, she is always there to help you and is very nice. Make sure you attend lectures because there are a lot of quizzes but I found her class very enjoyable.

Wonderful teacher. Wonderful person.Lots of quizzes in lecture.Doesn't curve.Doesn't use scantrons!(which is better for students but harder for her)-gives partial credit. Explains in a very clear way.Her classes are always full.She tutors students that aren't even in her class!A teacher that is interested in teaching.Pay attention and do hmwrk.

She's really funny and a little sarcastic.Very understanding and caring towards her students.Gives plenty of opportunities for you to bring your grades up. Easy as long as you show up to class and do the assignments.

I was stoned everyday and still did fine.

Very clear, very organized, tests aren't too bad, and there are lots of opportunities to do well. She's really sarcastic (which I thought was great/funny), and is alllllways ready to help her students. I just think she is AWESOME

never scored higher than 72% on a test. more like average 60s. passed with a "C". do your homework. study, and she'll acknowledge your efforts. Great teacher, and person. shes there to help you. great times in class. she'll crack some jokes at the students so be careful you dont say anything dumb

she's really sweet and always willing to help, teachs material in clear well organized way, she gives too much homework but has really easy tests, read the chapters and go to her office for help and you'll do fine.

She is very helpful and clear. If you need extra help she will be there for you. She is very nice and fun when it is apporpiate. I highly recommend her...

She is quite nice. She is truly a hard grader, and is nice to certain people, while mean to others, but otherwise from that she is a good teacher and has a nice personality.

Good teacher. Go to class and do the homework and you will pass. If you go for help, you better come with questions though, because she will not just reteach the lesson just for fun. We had people from other classes sitting in on the lecture, I think that says a lot about her comparison to other teachers...

You need to take the good with the bad. The material is complex and abundant. She absolutely teaches all of it in the best way possible. By far, the best Chem teacher yet. Learning is not supposed to be a piece of cake, so step up and get with it. Those who complain are the people that don't speak up.

This was by far the hardest class I have ever had. I have taken a lot of pre med classes and got an A in all of them except this class. This definitely not an easy class, so be prepared to study at least a couple hours a day. Prof. Brandon does go out of her way to be fair, and do see her at office hours it will help.

Going into Chem 115 you expect it to be somewhat difficult and it is. Professor Brandon is pretty good in teaching the material and reviewing it. Her quizzes are moderately difficult, you will need to study for them. Her test are hard, for some reason she throws major curveballs at you. Just study. Period.

Lectures are clear but deceiving. Seem to feel good when leaving class but lost on test. This could be due to only one class a week! Definitely need to study a lot to be able to get through this class. Overall good teacher, just need to know you will have to study independently to do well on tests. Homework is worth 8% of overall grade.

This is a really hard class, but it is not her fault. The material is difficult, but she does a good job explaining it. She says there are pop quizzes for every chapter but she usually tells you when they are. Tests are hard and need to be studied for. She did give a lot of extra credit (over 40 points) because people were struggling!

Love this professor. She is extremely nice and very clear. Always willing to help. Her lab tests are pretty easy all info covered in the labs. I learned most from her since my lecture teacher wasn't very good.I'm taking her next semester for 115 Lecture.

Professor Brandon is a very nice person. Do your homework and quizzes and test should be fairly easy. She really knows the material and does very good job at teaching it. Her notes are organized and lectures are crystal clear. Easy A if you show up in class and pay attention. Very fair in grading, sometime give extra credit. Highly recomemded!

Overall, she is a very nice person & is always willing to help her students out. She tends to fly through the material at a very fast pace though. She gives out homework & quizzes for every chapter & ec once in a while. So as long as you do your homework & study hard this class will be pretty easy for you.

Take it with her! Our chem department for the 110/115 series is pretty bad, but you'll learn the material with as little stress as possible with Brandon. She's clear, open to questions, and pulls no punches on her exams. Sam Abbas is your next best bet.

She is totally hot!!!

Brandon is a fair professor. She's really disorganized, but will expect you not top be. Her exams are really hard and she often makes mistakes (which she'll give you credit for, if you catch them). Overall, I'd say she's at least second to Sam Abbas. She knows her stuff. BTW, unless you're a D&D dork living in your mom's basement, she's not hot.

I had her for Fall 09. Fun class but tons of studying. I thought her exams were fairly easy; the amount of time you put in studying equate to the score you get. It was only hard if I didn't study. Good organized notes and good teaching qualities. Awesome class but sometimes it gets really quiet that I can hear myself think. Solid class, take it :)

Watch out for exploding beakers & air valves :) haha jk. Sweet sweet lady. Funny too. She is truly a remarkable person and professor. It makes me smile seeing her every day and I always did like it when she drew smiley faces on my paper, even if it's completely wrong :) besides, it does make everything all better.

I remember taking patti's class a few semesters ago (both 110 and 115), really nice and very approachable. She makes the material "noob" friendly and is always there to give extra help along the way. She gives many announced quizes to supplement your class grade, because her tests are fairly difficult. I must say, she is also very attractive for a 40 something year old. Too bad I was too shy to do anything about it :(

she is a very nice teacher. this class is very easy. I never got below 90.she is very helpful, though sometimes my accent will torment her. =) She will not let international student use dictionary during exam, but in that way u remember those freaking vocabulary. so chose her class =)

Although the class was difficult, for the most part I think it was pretty fair. If you do all of the homework and study you shouldn't have a problem on the tests. The book is your best friend in this class. But you do have to put in a lot of time outside of class to understand the material. Gives clear concise notes that are really helpful

gives small lecture to get everyone up to speed before the lab. tests i think were fair in the second half of the semester (first half was difficult). make sure you study all the lab calculations. calculations on her tests are pretty much identical to those found in the labs. fair grading on the labs though (use sig figs properly)

She is great. Just attend lecture. Test is 100 percent similar to lecture. Keep up with the class, and dont be lazy. Easy A if you put some effort. Final is a little difficult so make sure you have an A prior to taking it.

Lectures are very dull because she writes everything on the board, but she uses lots of examples and explains well. My advice is to read the section before class so you don't get lost or zone out. Gives practice quizzes so you know what to expect. Tests are fairly difficult, but come from questions in lecture so take good notes.

The labs were pretty much either super easy, or required a lot of calculations. Make sure you know what is going on conceptually or you'll probably be lost on the post lab. She explains the labs quickly & gives you the equations for calculations. She is helpful if she sees you've made an effort. Test q's all come from lab reports.

A very nice, helpful professor. Take notes in lecture as the exams will be based on problems done in class and, to a lesser extent, homework from the book. Some of her questions are tricky, but as I said, she'll have done them in class, so you need only have been there. Very approachable. Seems eager to help her students.

Brandon was an amazing teacher for Chem 115! Her class was indeed difficult… but I walked away slapping myself. Had I tried just a little bit harder, I should've been able to easily get an A in her Class. She's a quick grader and is willing to help out her students. Her LAB was about as easy as it gets for Chem115. She's the best pick for Chem115.

The class is a lot of work unless you understand everything the 1st time in lecture. Lecture is more important than the text, & I disagree w/ people saying she isn't helpful. The class is a reasonable amount of work but attention to detail & being on time are both crucial. I think she is a great prof. but the class should be curved.

Can you earn an A yes but earn is the key. One must study & review all notes from lecture & do the online homework well before it is due to remain on top of the workload. Prof. Brandon has no sugar but is a real teacher, she has office hours which I truly believe is the location to ask questions/clarity. She answers her cell phone too.

This professor knows her stuff, and teaches material thoroughly in class. Uses Sappling. She brings up material on tests that was only briefly discussed, and makes her test EXTREMELY long (you won't finish unless you move very quickly). She is somewhat arrogant/snarky, so ask question during office hours, not class. I would not reccommend.

Proffered Brandon knows her stuff and if you truly want to learn she is very very helpful and fair. She also gives partial credit on tests problems thank goodness. Chemistry is hard and you have to put the time in to understand it.

Although she is pretty confusing when it comes to her instructions, if you go up to her privately and ask her for help she is great. My lecture professor was awful and she helped me understand the subject and even pass both classes. Show her you are working hard, don't make excuses, make small talk with her and she WILL help you.

Her instructions may be a little confusing at first, but overall she is a great professor. Her exams are fine if you are willing to put in the effort to study. She is always willing to help if you ask as well.

Her test are very hard, but she is helpful!

Pretty good professor overall. Straight forward class, if you study lecture notes for exams and do the sapling homework you can get an A. Multiple Choice portion on exams are slightly tricky, so be very careful when choosing answers. Not overly difficult, but a good challenge.

Chem 110 Lab: Much easier than lecture class. Show up, do the labs correctly and get an A on them. Study labs and worksheets for lab exams and you'll do fine. Other than prelab, there is no work outside of class.

She's a great teacher. At first, it's hard to tell but she really cares about her students. She wants them to learn the material and pass. She is always accessible, she makes connections with her students, and she is clear in her lectures. Would absolutely take her again.

Thoroughly enjoyed this class. I took a chemistry class my junior year in HS and did well so I jumped right into this one and did just fine. She lectured, we had online homework, then an in-class test. Tough but more than fair. I learn well by lecture and she did a great job. Took the lab too and I recommend taking her for both lecture and lab.

This is a hard class. Not because of her, but because of the content. If you can learn from lectures and homework and truly want to try. You will be fine with her. Wanna get babied through it? find someone else.

I really enjoyed having her as my lab teacher. I feel bad as sometimes I may have been disruptive or messed up the lab procedure but she is very patient and an overall nice person. she is also really helpful when you have questions and responds in a way that forces you to think which I found enjoyable. Really great lab professor highly reccomend

She's nice enough, but her tests were very difficult, even for a science major like me. Our class got interrupted by the pandemic, and the transition to online was pretty rough. We did a lot from the OpenStaxs textbook and had to teach ourselves the material. In person, we had a lot of lectures from her.

Loved Professor Brandon, though this was a VERY difficult class. Overall chem 110 is very hard, but she gave every resource available. My downfall was not utilizing every resource from the start. I am usually an A student but this was my most difficult class yet and ended with a B. Though she is very kind and is up to helping when you ask.

Professor Brandon is actually a very good teacher and is quite funny. She can seem intimidating at first but is very caring towards her students. You need to read through the textbook and actually do the homework to score well and understand chem fully. The test are pretty long so make sure you come prepared for them and ask questions when needed.

I've seen a lot of negative reviews about this professor and want to clear things up. Professor Brandon is a challenging professor, and knows her chemistry very well. This makes the lectures a lot more intense, but reading the textbook and doing assigned problems ensures success. She is very helpful if you communicate with her, and very witty.

Although occasionally sassy and tough to commiunicate with, she is mostly easygoing. I literally never studied and did not do the homework, but was able to at least pass. If you study at least 20-40 minutes 5 days a week, it will be an easy A. She provides a lotttt of resources, I just never used them and regret that. Just do ur hw and you are set.

Lab is much better than lecture. You have to write the procedure on a carbon copy notebook before every lab (tedious but whatever), and print the lab as well for the report sheets (money adds up but whatever). Very easy, no homework. Just time consuming because labs tend to last the full time, with a few exceptions if you finish early. I reccomend.

Professor Brandon is much better than people make her seem. Chem110 is a challenging class. She comes off a bit intimidating, but is a very nice woman and has a clear grading system. Her exams are hard, but she has a lot of resources and office hours. She does care about you as a student, but as a student, you need to show you care about the class.

Professor Brandon can be intimidating, but wants us to succeed. We do practice problems in lecture, she posts extra resources (videos, worksheets, openstax problems), and is easily accessible if you have questions. Lots of homework, don't get behind. Exams are difficult- her grading criteria is clear, learn from what you missed in her office hours.

As long as you use the resources she provides, you'll be fine. I maintained an A throughout the semester and the tests are what formulates your grade. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions because she is willing to help.
