Cool professor!

Great Professor. Very approachable and helpful. Powerpoints are very clear that you dont even need the book to study. Exams are very reasonable and easy to do well on if you study her notes. Overall professor hatfield makes the class enjoyable and doable.I would highly recommend taking biochem with her. GREAT PROFESSOR!

Really nice and helpful professor but her class is mostly based off slides making her lectures boring.

Very nice lady but her lectures are boring. The bright side is that she gives many hints on what is going to be on quizzes and exams.

Professor Hatfield is probably the best Chem professor available between she, Jursich, and Modey. She does read off the slides, but she explains things well. When she is in office hours, she will help you. She is also the Biochem professor and it's obvious she knows what she is talking about. Extra Credit questions on her tests! EASY TESTS.

She's a nice professor with clear objectives for the class... Tests are easy if you study. Gives out way too much extra credit IMO. Generous curves that some people don't need. It's obvious that some people study and succeed and others don't and complain. Sink or swim. Your choice.

She is a very nice and easy professor. All of her exams were easy if you studied and went to lecture. OWL homework broke concepts down that were confusing. She gives a lot of grade boosters (e.c., iclickers, homework etc.)

She is a great professor! One of the best at UIC. Speaks and explains material clearly, very nice, and very approachable. The exams are NOT completely easy, so you must study for them!

She was a very GENEROUS teacher, she curves exam CRAZY STYLE, some people dont even deserve the curves she gives. If you study exam, its easy to A's an exam, if i can do it , you can also!!!!

She seems okay, but its a lot of materials and she just fly through them. You'll need extra help like TAs and student teachers. Plan on spending extra time for this subject. Good luck.

Hatfield's lectures aren't the most entertaining, but her class is over all easy. She gives practice problems for all of the chapters which help a lot and make the exams and quizzes simple. She's very generous with grading.

She's a great professor. Very understanding and easy to talk to. Her grading is reasonable and as long as you study the material-which gets tricky towards the end-you will be good. Make sure to do the online homework because it can pile up.

Dr. Hatfield is a pretty good teacher overall. Her lectures do get boring since she reads off the power points all the time. If you get all your iClicker points it will really bump up your grade. Shes really understanding and lowest quiz gets dropped. Out of all the chem 112 teachers that were available at the time she was definitely the best.

She was a phenomenal professor and is very willing to work with you. The class is hard, but an A is very possible. She really cares about her students

Dr. Hatfield is great and very easy on students. Yes, she does read off the lecture slides, which is incredibly boring, but you want to be at lecture for the iclicker points. Watch out for her inappropriately flirtatious TA Gennadii and know how to do the in-text examples from the book, and you will do well in this class.

I had her for general chemistry before this so I knew what to expect. She's very fair and down to earth. The exams were pretty challenging but she tells you what you need to know if you go to lecture. She gives tons of extra credit and is very entertaining during lectures. I really enjoyed biochemistry, can't wait for the medical school version.

Exams were okay in comparison to quizzes, which were written by TAs and very tough. Class is barely curved if you're shooting for a good grade. 89% was an A for us. Professor is nice, helpful, and good at teaching. Class involved a lot of memorization and time outside of class though. Read book for clarity.

Dr. Hatfield is a great professor. Although she reads straight from her slides, she really clarifies the material when someone has a question. Online homework is on the difficult side. But the tests are pretty easy. Iclicker usage counts for participation.

This class was more self taught. Hatfield only reads off her slides. She is always there for the students and always has office hours if you have any questions. Quizzes and Exams aren't that bad you just need to know the material well.

I'm not sure how other students learn, but I learn 95% of the material by myself for all my classes. With that being said, I usually read through the book and did practice problems from there to prepare for examsquizzes. I think that method worked well as I crushed every examquiz. Practicalslabs aren't bad either. Some effort should get a B .

By far one of the best professors I have had at UIC. Super willing to explain hard material and work around student's schedules. If you're having problems she is super kind about it. Rounds grades up!

All other Chem 101 teachers make it way harder than it needs to be. Hatfield is good and her TA's are awesome. Lots of time outside of class to learn things.

Chemistry might me hard to grasp, especially if your high school teachers didn't do a good job teaching it (which was my case). I honestly love this professor and i highly recommend you to take her! Her lectures are easy to follow, even when the content gets a bit tricky. TAKE HER IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH!!!! :) 3

She is the most amazing Chemistry teacher ever! I thought I was bad at Chemistry because I normally get A's and B's and I basically failed Chemistry in high school. I only have our final left and as long as I get a high B or an A (which I have on every exam she's given) I will have an A in her class. Now, I enjoy chemistry! I will miss her class!

She there to help anyone that needs help after class and she gives you more info and could help you with any subject your struggling one on one.

Overall, she's is a great professor but don't expect to get an A just because you go to all the lectures; go to her office hrs, your TA, and peer leading. You need to make sure you have a good grasp on the material to understand CHEM. Also make sure you really try in the sapling b/c it makes a difference when you're in that 89% line

The class covers a lot of material and she does her best to adjust according to what the class needs. I got a C and I know I could have done better but I just did not want to do the work. She posts EVERYTHING you need and more to get an A, and chooses great TAs. Didn't need a textbook because of this.

She explains everything really well and is not strict at all. Quizzes and exams are easier than other professors.

Hatifield was good, her tests were apparently easier than other profs. For her tests- I'd study from the questions at the back of the book and review from the discussion worksheets!

Dr Hatfield is a gr8 professor. Yes, she reads off the slides but makes sure u understand the material and concepts. Gives Lecture worksheets which is a gr8 help for the exms. Ofcourse, chem is not going to be easy, to earn that A you have to work hard. Very caring professor wants the students to succeed. Exms are easy compared to other professors.

Dr. Hatfield is an amazing professor, regardless of what anyone says. A lot of material is gone over in only 15 weeks, so every chemistry professor lectures fast. She is a great professor who commits a lot of her time outside of class in order to help her students. Go to her office hours, they help a lot. She is also an amazing person in general.

No chem class is going to be easy. These professors have to cram content in 15 weeks so it's always going to feel "rushed". Rita gave a lot of in-class worksheets to help aid us which not all the professors did. She was also very accessible outside of class. Her class averages were also much higher than the other professors and she curves a little.

Professor Hatfield gives curve. About 85% overall score got an A. She gives review session before each exams and quizzes. She answers all the questions from students after the class, even when she is walking to her office.

Dr. Hatfield is very caring for her students and very willing to help. Every chemistry course is hard and you will spend most of your time teaching yourself regardless of who your professor is.

I had Hatfield for chem 122. She is very helpful and informative. She was a great professor its just chem 122 in general is very tough class. She would urge students to use the office hours if you have questions and very helpful in them. Her tests are pretty straightforward whatever you see in the exam pointers you will see on the exam.

She's awesome!

She's a very caring professor and is very helpful in office hours.

You can easily pass the class and get an A if you listen to the lectures, take notes, do the discussion worksheets, and ask for help during office hours. If you put in the work, you will do well.

There is a LOT of content in the class and skipping lectures will not go well. Make sure to put in effort by communicating with professor if you need help. She is very helpful when asked questions. The quizzes are basic and exams do not ask you to know all the details. She gives A LOT of EXTRA CREDIT which really helps.

Very nice professor and helpful during office hours. In order to get an A you will most likely have to attend weekly review sessions and rewatch some lectures. Once the learning material goes past HS chemistry it gets more difficult to grasp. Make sure you turn in all of your homework on time and attend TA office hours because the class moves fast.

Really good on teaching! I understood the content so well, and i really believe it was because of the way she teached.

This is probably one of the best chem professors offered at uic. Her lectures are clear and normally paced. Never once did I feel like her lessons were rushed. The homework workload was pretty standard amongst all of the chem 122 classes.

The negative reviews here are so unwarranted. Hatfield is by far one of the nicest and best chem profs at UIC. No, she won't cover every tiny detail in lecture, that's impossible. Pay attention to her lectures, get confident in the discussion worksheets, put some effort into the homework and you'll get an A. And take advantage of her review sheets!

Hatfield was a good professor, probably the best at UIC. She offered a lot of extra credit and is so easy to get in contact for office hours. Gives a few points as well at the end.

easily the best professor for chem 122, gave extensions on assignments and told us exactly what we needed to know for the exams, was very understanding when I got sick and allowed me to still get a grade for the exam, if you read all of the textbook chapters, go to lecture, and do all homework assignments on time, it shouldn't be too bad.

dunno why she has such a low rating, but this was specifically for chem 115. overall, she was very understanding and helpful. her labs were also really interesting. she gives a lot of study materials to help you prepare for all of the exams.

Best chem professor at uic. If you read the textbook, attend lecture and do practice problems 122 is an easy A.

She was a very kind and bubbly person which made lectures bearable. The content is easy for the first exams, especially if you took CHEM 101, just prepare for the orgo section which lots of people struggled with. Show up, do the work and get the easy points!

The class was difficult but you get the effort you put in. She was available during office hours, provided practice exams which would be similar or exactly the same as the ones she put on the actual exam. Attending lectures was a must, but she did record lectures. She was very understanding, and allowed me to submit post-lab late for credit.

She is a really nice professor. Gives lots of resources like tutoring,extra office hours before exams. Go to class! Attendance is worth a lot . Labs are annoying but depends on your TA. The class is hard its organic chem and gen chem 2, but its easy to pass if you put in work, do your homework, and there's a big curve at the end.
