Overall good professor. Her lectures moved quite fast, but she was wonderful at explaining things if you paid attention. Quizzes are fair; mideterms/final difficult but are what is expected of the class. She is eager to help students. I highly recommend her.

She is a very nice lady outside of class/anything to do with her class or tests. She hates it when people complain about her tests, it's kind of her "her-way-or-the-highway." But other than that she really tries to make good lectures (which are helpful), homework help problems and reviews. Overall, a good teacher.

this class will be painful no matter who you have. dr loza seemed genuinely interested in teaching and made lectures about as fun as they could be (which isnt much). the curve sucked though, i worked really hard and got an 81 which only rounded to a B, which didnt seem like that much since midterm and final averages were Fs Ds and Cs

MIDTERMS AND FINALS ARE IMPOSSIBLE!! Just cut your losses and do well on quizzes homework and labs. Her lectures are fast and cover a lot so go to them. Better hope you get a good T.A.

If you want a good grade in chem 122, good luck it just a hard class. Loza goes very quickly in lecture and most of the material is not online. Her tests are very hard. Quizes are grades very strictly. If you dont show ALL your work you get points off, even if you get the question right. If done right labs help the grade but will take tons of time.

She is very enthusiastic and goes over everything very quickly, it is best to read the book to fully understand what is going on. Her tests are the hardest and most frustrating thing I have yet to encounter at OSU. She also has a voice that can be very headache-inducing at early hours.

She's a tough teacher, but fair. Doing all of the practice problems isn't as important as understanding the concepts so you can apply them to new situations. Midterms have questions you've never seen before in your life where you have to apply the concepts to completely new types of problems. The final will make you cry.

Moves fast, you have to, HAVE to do a lot of practice problems to know what is going on. Her lectures are not interesting, but chemistry isn't. I think she's helpful, but her exams are not easy at all. But seriously, do the problems, practice, and you'll stand a chance.

Had her for chem 122 and 123 a bit crazy all over but shes good at explaining and go to her office hours she'll help you out a lot. Exams were fair and if you do the problems she assigns and go to lecture you should be fine.

Don't listen to the other comments. Loza is the best professor for Chem 121. Exams were not bad at all and quizzes were easy and predictable. Just keep up in the book reading and you will know what she is talking about with lecture. It takes work on your part...she's not going to do the learning for you

Extremely helpful, office was always open and willing to help you without making you feel dumb! fast paced, but straightforward.

She is helpful, her office is often open. In lecture she will move very fast, and her writing on the black board is illegible. Make sure you her practice tests, but after that make sure to keep studying. The real test is much different. Tests are very hard, be prepared.

She is a gem because she only teaches this class in the Fall. You must read your notes every day, read your book and do aleast the general homework problems because its the only way you will make it. I put in 2-3 hours a day and got an A- and was 15pts from an A. Warning there is no curve. Before the curve I was at a 88% and got bumped up a few pts

The final is near impossible after studying two weeks straight but it's curved so that doesn't matter. she's very helpful in office hours.. and i never went to lecture because i never understood her so i taught myself out of the book and did fine...it's a lot more work than 121 esp the labs

She is a very good professor, but her class is way too hard. If you want a good grade then don't take her! Her exams are way harder than her practice exams, and the final was impossible.

Goes quickly in lecture but very helpful outside of class. She works hard to teach at the level of the majority of the class. I highly recommend her.

The trick to Loza is- go to office hours & do the homework. Loza is a good professor & more importantly, a good person who actually knows students by name

Shes teaches a lot of material in a very short period of time. You must study all the time in order to to well in her class. The average grade for our first midterm was a 64%, and the material was fairly easy at face value. However, the questions on the quizzes and tests are so warped and twisted that if you didn't study, you will fail miserably.

Her tests are extremely long, 30 questions in 78 min. with all of them being math. If it takes you a little longer than 2 min. to do each question you will be dominated, our average is a 60%. Don't take her unless you are amazing at math.

Here is the thing about Dr. Loza. One person way back when decided to say she was a bad teacher and made terribly hard exams and everyone decided to hop on that bandwagon. She GIVES you the HW problems to work on. If you can do them all without a hitch before he exam, you will get an A. Those who don't do well in the class don't do the HW problems.

Dont take her class. I am a very smart person. I studied alot for this class and beat the average very well on the exams on top of being above average on all the labs and quizes. For all of the work I put in and even by regularly beating the average by 15 to 20 percent I still only got a B. Its not worth it. Take someone else.

Welcome to weed-out classes, dudes. If you don't go to class, read the book, and make a general effort, you'll probably fail. Chemistry isn't going to get easier anytime soon - take advantage of the resources you're provided (homework problems, office hours, etc) and you'll do just fine. Don't bet on the final to salvage your grade - it sucks.

Her class is impossible. She rushes through her notes and isn't clear on what she explains. Anything you do to study is useless. Her finals are mentally impossible. Best advice is to go to class and follow the book. You must be completely prepared. Good luck.

Don't take Loza. Even though she says she is willing to help every single person in the class, she is not willing to own up to her mistakes in order to help every single person in the class. She wrote questions on the midterms/quizzes that were wrong, and then would not give points back to the students who actually picked the right answers.

Dr. Loza is a great professor// I didn't have much of a chemistry background, so her office hours were great, she's very approachable. DO THE HW (which isn't mandatory)-many of her Test & Quiz ?'s are straight from there...and those are often hard. Reading the Chapter before the lecture is good b/c she gears the lectures more towards the specifics

I had this teacher for 161 and 162 which are the same as 121 and 122 but for chemistry and biochemistry majors. I have read through people's comments and they are negative, I managed to get an A in 161 which we had short answer tests, not just multiple choice. She likes to trick (challenge) you on midterms, but just think. She is a great teacher.

Loza is a good teacher and her tests weren't hard. The reason the average is so low is because most of the students are freshmen who think they don't have to do the HW because it's not graded. They think learning is sitting in a lecture taking notes and in general being spoon fed. Read the book, do the HW, and ask for help. You will do great.

Loza was the bomb. Sweetest lady ever. If you get the opportunity to take her I recommend it. She is extremely fair on midterms and quizzes. Final was really hard. Go to office hours. She is very helpful at office hours. She is by far the best teacher I've had at OSU. Not sure why her rating is so low. Take her!!

Dr. Loza is one of the more amazing individuals I have ever met. She's one of the most helpful and patient professors. Her office hours are the key to success, plus doing the homework. Her Mids and Final were rough, but fair. Just look for the hidden trick to use.

Chem 122 is a very difficult class. Attend every lecture and read the book. Her exams are hard and her final even harder.! In order to be successful, must spend time out of class working homework problems.

I had her for 121 and 122. She is tough, but you will learn the material. Even though she writes hard tests, doing the homework and going to office hours will allow for good performance on midterms and tests. If you're looking for the easy A don't take this class, but if you want to learn the material and retain information taker her.

I had Loza for 121 and 122. She is one of the toughest professors I ever had, but she is also the nicest. GO TO OFFICE HOURS and DO THE HW and you are going to be okay. She's entertaining during lecture, but she moves fast, so you have to keep up! Exams are almost evil but they come almost straight from the homework so don't just ignore them.

Anyone who complains about Loza is a pansy and needs to learn that college is tough! Loza although I hated this class at times because it has difficult exams...is still a great teacher. Go to office hours, study, attend lecture, study more. Loza is tough but if you are a science major or pre-med she will prepare you for success.

Not a bad professor, but her midterms were pretty tough. They were alright if you did the homework and understood it. Read the text, go to class. Also, her final was the single hardest test I've ever seen in my entire life. Avg. of final was around 49%. Prepare to be challenged.

SHE IS VERY HARD BUT IT'S WORTH IT!I had Dr. Loza for the 160 series which is the same as the 120 but only for chem and biochem majors.Her midterms and finals are TERRIBLE but she is a great lecturer.If you go to office hours and ask questions it's a lot of help.She is a very nice lady and will do her best to help you pass the class.

I see people on here saying she is terrible, but honestly she is not too bad. I find her helpful, she is nice on top of that and seems to enjoy talking to the students. She comes in labs, and is encouraging. Her tests and quizzes are challenging, but not impossible. I feel like she is preparing me well. Most the time she explains things clearly

I just finished Chem 161 today and I thought that Loza was a very good teacher. She will help you, but she is not just gonna spoon feed you. The Final is not as bad as people on here are saying. I got an 86.

Incredible teacher. Very clear and helpful. All questions from quizzes come from the homework. Midterms and Finals are difficult, but not impossible

Incredible teacher and extremely helpful. Made class fun and innovative. I got an A in the class. All the questions from the quizzes come from homework. Midterms and Final are hard but not impossible.

I think Dr. Loza was an excellent professor. She always came to class very well prepared for lecture and was almost always clear. She was also extremely helpful for students at office hours and always open for questions in lecture.

When she isn't complaining about the room or the other professor, she can be a good teacher. Watch out for her quizzes though, instead of quizzing over the main points of a chapter, she picks one thing and goes extremely in depth on it. She is very helpful in her office hours though

I absolutely love this teacher. She really broke everything down into terms we could understand. Her exams weren't super easy but I thought they were fair.I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her. Shes personable, funny and entertaining. There was a lot of content but I believe she covered and set us up for 123 very well.Go out of your way to take her!

Dr. Loza is extremely willing to help all her students and is understanding and compassionate if you're having issues. Her tests are difficult. I recommend doing ALL suggested problems, as most questions on the test resemble homework. She shows strategies, doesn't give away the answer and expects you to think for yourself. Fantastic educator.

Professor Loza is an amazing professor. Her exams are hard, and she does make you work, but she also makes you think in new ways. She is always so upbeat and happy and she really does try to make the students understand. Chemistry is a hard course at Ohio State, and you WILL need to read, and you WILL need to do homework problems- but Loza helps!

Great professor! Wish I could have her for all my chems. She was understanding and taught the subject clearly. Her homework problems are not mandatory, but they're very helpful and they appear a lot on the exams so keep up with them.

Dr.Loza is the greatest Gen Chem professor ever. She's so engaged in class and truly has an interest in the subject matter and in making sure you understand it. Her tests are HARD but doable if you study a lot. Work hard and enjoy having a teacher that cares!

There is no denying that the Gen Chem series at OSU is incredibly difficult and takes a lot of work, but it is nice to have a teacher who loves what she does and cares about her students. She makes an effort to talk to students before class and repeatedly tells students to come to office hours. She is animated in class. I suggest taking her.

She is intimidating, but the more time you spend with her, the more you will never want another professor. Her class is hard, but if you pay attention and do what she says (i.e. studying any info she gives you!). Go to her office hours! She's willing to help.

Professor Loza is the best professor I've had so far at OSU, especially for chemistry. Anyone who argues otherwise is honestly just whining because they couldn't handle general chemistry. Her tests can be hard, but if you pay attention in lecture and go to office hours, you'll find the class very manageable, perhaps even easy.

Dr. Loza is extremely helpful to the students that come to her office hours. GO! She incorporates the work she did in BP in the class. She lets the students blow things up. She is fun and passionate. I took Zellmer winter quarter and i believe that she explained it better. She goes through the notes quickly but she makes sure you understand it.

Dr Loza is an amazing teacher. The only disappointment with her is that I couldnt have her for chem 123. She is fun and made chemistry even more interesting. If you have half a brain you can get an A in the class.

Dr. Loza was brillant. She always went out her way to talk with students and build a personal relationship. Tests are difficult, but they're not a problem if your chemistry background is strong. TAKE LOZA. Tests will prepare you well for the future.

She may not be the easiest teacher, but she is very very helpful and truly cares about the students. I recommend her and am actually taking her next quarter!

Very clear and uses many examples in lecture. So friendly and eager to help. Class and exams are passable if the work is done.

Instructors like her make classes awesome. She is very enthusiastic about her subject and tries to spice chemistry up even more by connecting it with the real world. She makes an effort to talk walk around the room and talk to students before and after class. One of the best teachers I've had yet.

Her class can be somewhat difficult and I ended up with a C in the class, but even as she says, she also got a C in general chemistry. While her midterms and finals can be challenging, she is a very enthusiastic person who is more than willing to help you out if you ask for it. She's lots of fun and seems to love what she does. Highly recommended.

Dr. Loza is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what she teaches. She's very practical and understands the students' side of things better than any other professor I've had in college. The material is hard and she expects a lot out of students, but she keeps lectures interesting and understandable. Great professor

Dr. Loza is honestly the best professor i've had yet at osu. She genuinely cares about her students and it's obvious that she loves her job. Yes, her exams were difficult, but still fair. I find her class to be enjoyable and also worth going to. She gives plenty of examples, and is entertaining to listen to. I can't wait to have her again next qtr!

Took Loza for the second time this year with this class. She goes out her way to talk to students. WARNING: she won't answer her email in a helpful manner. I had a question about a typo on the problem set and she didn't email back acknowledging it, causing the whole class to miss the question.

I didn't really like her very much. I did decently in her class (A-) and when I asked her a question about the curve of the class she told me that I always had the option of switching to a business major. She seems like a nice person but don't trust too much of what she says. Study everything and work consistently. I would recommend 2 hours a day.

Dr. Loza was very helpful during office hours. If you need extra help, please go! I did better in 163 than in 161/162 because I asked questions and got individualized lessons. She will go out of her way to help you and make you LEARN the material, not regurgitate. Take Loza if you can. Her tests are hard, but studying (LOTS) can net you an A to B+.

She is a wonderful professor but very difficult to follow. I recommend a tape recorder and hanging in office hours otherwise great difficulties for exam prep. Problem sets kill but she is always willing to help. She is always enthusiastic and can explain things brilliantly, though she does rush in lecture. Overall: better than other OSU chem profs.

very hard test, but a nice enthusiastic teacher.REALLY hard mid term and final.

Quiz average was 60 or lower due to the time limit. There was a curve and i was happy with my grade. A huge weakness of her is that she doesn't understand fully the level of understanding of her students.

She's nice enough and funny but it's a weed out class and she makes sure to weed people out. Her averages on the midterms have been in the 50%'s so far and she blames this on "holes in students' knowledge". Tested on things that were not on the homework/book/practice midterm. She was unnecessarily hard. Buy a book. It's your only hope.

She gives difficult exams. However this is typical for ANY osu chem class, so anyone who says any chem teacher has easy exams should probably be a chem teacher. She will tell you typical problems that are on the MCAT and other professional exams. Overall, she is difficult but in the end extremely beneficial for your future.

She is very energetic. Willing to help. But this is a huge class so harder to cover everyone. Study need! Do her HK, not mandatory, they show up in tests and quizzes. She is a bit though. But a good teacher!

She is definitely someone who is willing to help but her course is really hard and the review sessions/study guides did not prepare you for the exams as well as they have for me in other classes. Overall i would say avoid her if possible, her exams are really tough. That being said, chemistry it not my strong suit. I did do better when i retook.

I love Dr. Loza. She really knows what she's talking about, and she cares about her students. The best thing to do is to go to office hours because she's very helpful. That said, she does expect A LOT from her students and will push you, but you will learn if you work hard and study. Midterms/exams are hard. It's difficult but possible to get an A.

Dr. Loza is very passionate, even a little bit crazy sometimes. I really like her class. You can really learn a lot. Her exam is not that bad. Take her class. It's an amazing experience.

Dr. Loza loves chemistry and wants to help her students. GO TO OFFICE HOURS,IT HELPS A TON. With that being said, you do have to earn your grade in her class, there are no hand outs. If you like chemistry and are willing to put in the time, I suggest Dr. Loza.

I had Loza for 1210 in the fall and was pleasantly surprised that in 1620 she was a lot less frazzled and also less confusing. She is very enthusiastic and that is really apparent in her lectures. Going to office hours is very helpful, and her TAs are usually good as well. Written homework and exams were very fair.

Dr. Loza is absolutely the best teacher ever! She is a very energetic and enthusiastic teacher about chemistry, students and everything! Feel lucky to have her in my college life!

I took gen chem 1 before transferring and the curriculum was alot more rigorous, so going into the first exam i was expecting to do well. Didn't happen. Inconsistency in concept explanation, but Dr. Loza is extremely passionate, which i like. I just wish she took a little more time when typing in numbers for tests and lectures.

She was very tough

Gen Chem 1 was great with Loza. She is hard. But it is not impossible to get an A. You just have to put some work into it. Do all the Sapling homework, that's where you get a change to comprehend the content. Exams are straightforward but contain some tricky questions. Know your stuff and you'll do fine. Her practice midterms are great practice

Time to be real. Loza really does care about her students. You can always go to office hours and she is willing to slow downhelp you through it. Lecture notes give a summary, but you NEED to do book questionsread chapter to do good on tests, which are hard. Her goal is to separate menboys. She does. Its a really hard class. Generous curve tho!!!

Tests are very difficult, but Loza is a great person who blows things up in class. She always is available for help, but do the work or there is no sympathy for you.

This is a very challenging course, but Dr. Loza really tries to help you succeed.

Dr. Loza taught very well but she couldn't make the exams more irrelevant. Homework is a must, the lectures are somewhat mandatory, and the textbook is almost useless.

Dr. Loza will provide a class where you WILL have to work for an A. However, she is an excellent professor. Her job is not to give you an easy A; it is to educate, and she's good at it. She tells you from the get-go how to do well in her class (practice problems, office hrs) and she means it. Plus she's hilarious, if you have a good sense of humor.

I can't say Dr. Loza doesn't give students what they need to succeed. Almost every question on the exams comes from homework or an example done in lecture, and the questions are straightforward. She really is not out to get her students. She just wants to make sure they know their stuff. One issue: midterms are only 30 questions. Can't miss a l lot

Okay so im in Lozas class right now. I plan to take her again next semester for 1220. I do like her even tho I have gotten a D on each midterm so far. One piece of advice... make sure you have a great TA mine is awful and I learn nothing in recitation cause she does the problems wrong and I end up failing most quizzes :/ study hard

Loza is a very funny, good professor who is passionate about chemistry. In 1210 she does not like how easy the material is for her and she lets you know. She makes exams extremely difficult compared to homework, and quizzes and there will always be a few questions that are not fair. Exam material is not reflective on the difficulty of the course.

Tests were ridiculously difficult. Her lectures are full of distractions and she's all over the place when she teaches. Always talked about how she thought our textbook was unclear and not helpful so I'm not sure why we were using it.. Whenever you had a question she told you it was in the book or online. All her review sessions were unhelpful.

Dr. Loza is not an easy professor! She will make you work for your grades. However, if you are struggling, go to her office hours. Shes much more helpful with a small handful of students rather then the whole lecture hall.

Dr. Loza is probably the best gen chem professor. She is very fair and clear-cut on what is on the exams. She is an excellent teacher and provides good notes and examples in class. Her exams are very hard but there is a curve applied at the end, so your chance at an A is just as high as with any other professor

Dr. Loza is TOUGH and HARD! But that doesn't mean you can't succeed in her class. Her notes are clear, but she does make mistakes (...a lot); however, you must read the textbook and do bookwork problems to succeed on her quizzes and exams. She provides all the right tools to receive a good grade. She is willing to help whenever and always!

I think anyone writing a bad review about Dr. Loza is just bitter that they didn't get a good grade, if I'm being honest. She is very enthusiastic and passionate about teaching and gives everyone the tools they need to succeed, if you so choose to use them. I wouldn't necessarily call her tests easy, but they were very fair & doable if you study.

Dr. Loza was a pretty awesome professor. She can be quite humorous sometimes. Compared to other OSU chemistry professors, she seemed to assign less work. But to get a good grade, you must do EVERYTHING she assigns, whether its for points or not. If you don't understand something, go talk to her. She is really engaging and willing to help.

Dr. Loza was a really great professor for CHEM1210. Although her exams were tough, she gives you all the right tools and resources to succeed. If you go to her office hours she is extremely helpful and very encouraging. She really seems to care a lot about the success of her students and extends every ounce of her support to benefit them.

Honestly, I though Dr. Loza was a great professor. Yes, the class was not easy, but no GenCHEM class is. She was always very approachable and helpful, unlike a lot of other professors I've had at OSU. She really cares about the success of her students. If you are struggling go to her office hours, she is more than willing to help you.

Dr. Loza was an incredible teacher. Her class was super tough but she really helped me learn how to be a good student. Utilize every resource she gives you! It's hard work, but it is possible to get a good grade!

Awesome teacher. In lecture throughout the semester she will straight up tell you some questions she's putting on the exam. Really straightforward about it in general. If you don't skip lecture, you will have a very accurate picture of what her exam will be like. Only a matter of studying at that point

Loza is the best professor I've had while in college, she is the hardest one I've taken too, but she cares. She wants you to do well, but you do need to put in the effort. She is not a pushover, she will grade you on everything. But she is the best professor I've ever had, I love her to death.

Dr. Loza is an extremely well respected lecturer for many reason. If you take your own notes outside of class and do the book problems she asks you will be fine!!! Quiz problems are (quite literally) taken from the book questions she assigned. Exams are usually very similar to practice exams!! Doing well is dependent on how much you care.

Great professor, but you must be willing to put in the work or you will fall behind. She's understanding from whatever background or situation you're in but she refers to the solution as "life". Practice, practice, practice all the time.

Her class is very difficult, but it's supposed to be. It's not impossible though. Her tests are pretty hard, but you'll learn A LOT. She makes things very clear & easy to understand, and genuinely cares about helping her students do well and succeed. Keep up w/ the optional textbook problems & online homework to stay ahead & do well in the class.

She breaks down the information really well and has amazing office hours

While Dr. Loza may be one of the most difficult professors for 1210, I can attest that I learned a lot more than my friends did with other professors. She can get off topic in lecture, but if you come prepared (read, took notes, practice questions) her midterms should be moderately easy. Remember though, you're just Gen Chem, and she got a C in it!

Dr. Loza is one of the best professors I have had. Her midterms are difficult, but if you really take the time to do all of the HW problems she assigns and read each chapter then you will be fine. Also if you took AP chem in high school, this class will be a breeze. She does a great job telling you what to know for the tests. Lots of Math.

I had Dr. Loza and 8am and she made classes fairly enjoyable for getting up early! She really wants all her students to do well, and she tries really hard to make that happen. She does give pretty hard midterms, but it makes the ACS final feel like a breeze.

Loza is an amazing professor. Her teaching style requires a lot of textbook work; however, you always leave her class really understanding the material covered. I would absolutely take Loza again. In order to succeed in her class you must read the textbook.

Dr. Loza is SO smart. She REALLY cares. Do NOT take this class if your are lazy, don't want to work, want it to come easy, or are looking to fill a req. Take this class if you want to have a deep understanding, want to grow and learn as a new college student, want to take a professional exam (MCAT), etc. It WILL not come easy, but nothing good does

Doctor Loza is the best professor I've had at Ohio State. He is caring and genuinely interested in your success. Her teaching is easy to follow and clear. She gives good examples and real life applications. While the class is tough, she tells you what work you need to do to get an A. Go to her office hours and do ALL the practice problems !

Dr. Loza was one of the best professors I have had at Ohio State and by far the best chemistry professor I've met. The class is tough but you probably already know that. She really cares about students and helping you succeed not only at chemistry but in college in general and I would highly recommend her.

Challenging professor, but wants students to succeed.

Her tests are extremely difficult but I did enjoy her class. She makes lectures fun and truly wants you to succeed but you must do the work.

Dr. Loza's class is challenging, but if you're there with a genuine interest in learning and not just earning a grade, you will not be disappointed. She will teach you how to learn and study better for any course. These are skills that are indispensable for any pre-med students like myself. My only regret is not getting to know her better!

Dr. Loza is an excellant professor. Really really nice lady! Genuinely cares for her students and wants them all to learn. Not going to lie she goes super super fast during lecture and its hard to keep up. but Chemistry requires lots studying on your own time so if you do it, then you will pass.

Amazing professor! Knowledgeable and explains things in a way it's easy to understand. Only complaint is that there's so much homework that it's difficult to study in any other way. I work and have lots of medical treatment on top of school and spent nearly every 'free' moment working on chem homework (not sure if she decides the assignments thoug)

Dr. Loza's lectures are very interesting as she always looks to keep us entertained. There's no shortage of difficult material after the first midterm but visit her office hours and she will help you with anything you need.

Dr. Loza is so smart and is a great professor! People will complain because the class is hard, but it's just that chemistry is hard- you need to work for it, and she'll tell you that. She'll prepare you for upcoming chem courses well. She tells it like it is- no sugar coating, and if you can't take that, it would be best to take another professor.

Dr. Loza is a great professor! She is notoriously one of the more difficult gen chem professors, but she really does care about her students. There is a lot of homework, but her lectures are entertaining. Read the book before coming to lecture, and Loza will highlight and solidify important info in lecture.

This was super hard class for me but I'm also not good at chem. You have to really be on top of your stuff and cannot let yourself get behind.

It's a difficult class, but Professor Loza really cares about her students. She is kind of an erratic/confusing lecturer, so I learned most of the material by reading the textbook and treated lecture as review/practice. Sometimes, she doesn't explain things fully, so I relied on my own notes a lot. Still, she's extremely kind and very funny.

Dr. Loza can be confusing during class but will clear up any questions you have during office hours. Textbook is a must for this course and you cannot do well without going to class.

Go to office hours. Dr. Loza is very caring and will listen to you. She will do her best to help you, but you have to put in the time. Don't fool yourself. You should know if you know the material or not and if you don't STUDY. Do practice problems. Go over the notes. Explain topics to your friends. Study a little every night (not just do HW)

Dr. Loza was a great lecturer because she was funny and interesting, even though she seemed unorganized at times. She always cared when I asked her a question or emailed her and was an all around nice person. Im not saying this is an easy class because it definitely is not, be ready to read the textbook and do a lot of work to get a good grade.

Loza was great, I recommend you go to every lecture. Personally, reading the textbook before class helped tremendously, to have a general idea of what she was talking about. Loza is a bit scatterbrained, so the last 5-10 minutes of lecture will be a rushed mess. She gives a lot of work to prepare her students for future classes.

Dr. Loza was my saving grace in Chemistry. She truly does care about her students and how they do in class and in life as a whole. If you put the time forward, you WILL succeed in this class. Go to her office hours. She personally gets to know you and helps you with everything. She pushes her students so she can watch them succeed. She's amazing!!!

At the time I took the class I thought professor Loza was just fun but just okay at teaching, however, no other teacher I have had has taught me as much as her. This class isn't that easy but she does a good job of preparing you.

This class was the hardest class Ive ever taken but Dr. Loza feels like one of only professors Ive ever had actually care about me. This being the first time I took Chem, I worked hard. The grade I got wasnt great, but I passed and I dont need to retake it. Shes funny and that keeps lectures interesting. Go to office hours and ask questions.

I would take her again if I had the choice. She may make mistakes in lecture, and there is a lot of homework outside of class, but working through those mistakes and the homework made me earn my grade. I believe that she does a great job of setting her students up for future success. Could easily make a drinking game out of the things she says.

Dr loza made chemistry a blast and was always super willing to help out in office hours. If you work hard for the grade you want it's a great class.

GO TO OFFICE HOURS AND YOU WILL THRIVE

Dr. Loza did an exceptional job with the AMOUNT of raw material that needed to be covered within a single semester. Not only so, she also worked to energize the lecture-style class setting with her vibrant and kind personality. An issue with the course was the Common Exams, but those were NOT created by Dr. Loza. Excellent Professor and person.

Professor Loza is a very reachable and very passionate about teaching. O. Some points she didn't covered may show up on the test, but that's the fault of chemistry department. Chemistry and other science courses is hard and sometimes professor may make this even harder. But hang in there and find the solution by yourself. You'll get there.

Dr. Loza is a dynamic and engaging lecturer who sometimes gets off-topic, but covers all material and answers questions. She gives weekly quizzes, but they are fair and TAs review quiz content beforehand. She assigns lots of homework, but it helped me understand (do the homework!). She also hints at midterm questions during lecture (go to class!).

Overall a great teacher, just a lot of hw

The chem department doesn't have a lot of great gen chem profs, but Loza makes lectures fun and exciting. Her eccentric personality keeps you awake during class. The concepts can be hard, but Loza does a great job at simplifying them and I am happily taking Chem 1220 with her next semester. The exams are hard, but that's the department's fault!!

I was SUPER nervous going into this course based on what I had heard about Dr. Loza, but it really wasn't bad. I put in a LOT of time doing her hw/practice exams to get the grade I wanted. Dr. Loza is a great person, and although she tends to mess up sometimes, she provides her students with a lot of resources to succeed and she really cares!

Overall, Dr. Loza's lecture's are not the most straightforward, but they are interesting to say the least. If you put in the time to read, do homework, ask questions, and practice for exams, you will be fine; however, it requires a lot of individual motivation and time management. She won't hold your hand, but she does really care for her students.

I absolutely loved having her! She jumps from topic to topic quickly in lecture but reading the textbook beforehand helps a lot. She cares about her students and wants everyone to succeed. One tip: GO TO OFFICE HOURS!! They are a godsend and helped me sooo much. Especially on the days of exams. Put the time in for homework or you will NOT succeed.

Dr. Loza truly cares about her students, and how they do in this class. This semester her classes had the highest averages on exams. While she is quite eccentric and can go off on tangents, she prepares you well for exams. I recommend reading the book to get a stronger understanding of what she teaches at lectures.

Shes one of the better gen chem professors. Take her over others. Slightly disorganized lectures, but you still learn in them.

A lot of students complain that she gives too much homework (Mastering), but if you don't do the homework and book problems, you won't do very well in the class. Go to office hours, she typically has a multiple, so she's very accessible. She tends to get off track in class and shares funny stories, but makes class interesting and fun!

Dr. Loza cares a lot about her students and it shows in the way she teaches. She offers lots of office hours and guides students to prep material so that they can be successful on exams. At times her lectures can be hard to follow, but if you are confused she is more than happy to help after lecture or in office hours. She made CHEM 1220 enjoyable.

I had loza for chem 1210 and 1220 and comparing to the profs my friends had, she is by far the best and I recommend her always. Gen chem is a hard course but loza explains what you need to do well in the class and even gives midterm hints during lecture (attend!) Shes energetic and cares about her students. And our class averages on exams were best

Gen chem 2 is a very difficult course no matter the professor. Loza cares unconditionally and will help at any hour of the day. She gets sidetracked easily and sometimes does not explain things the greatest, but that does not make me give her any less than 5 stars. Wonderful teacher and very knowledgeable.

Dr. Loza wants her students to succeed. She is extremely accessible through office hours and email and gives lots of opportunities to review material through recitation quizzes, Mastering Chemistry, and optional textbook problems. Exams are difficult since they are written by the OSU chem department but Loza's class always had the highest averages.

This class is crazy difficult. I'm a hard worker and do everything I can to do well, and getting a C made me happy, if that tells you anything. Loza genuinely cares and is honest with you about the Chem dept, which is really nice. Lots of homework, but probably my top choice for this horrible class. Live, love, Loza. Hate, despise, Chem dept.

A lot of people diss on Loza as the worst 1210 professor but I honestly thought she was perfectly fine and by far the best option for 1220. She does give more homework than other profs for 1210 but I found this to be beneficial to my understanding of the material. Not a fantastic lecturer but sufficient enough and helpful outside of class.

Chem 1210 at OSU tbh is pretty miserable no matter who you have. Loza has everybody do ALEKS, which, although it is a ton of work, I think does help. If you want a positive, friendly, and decent professor for 1210, go for Loza.

Dr. Loza is great at teaching and you can tell she cares about her students. Her explanations are thorough and interesting and she will briefly review content from the previous lecture in each class. I found the class fairly easy with prior AP Chem knowledge and all open-note exams due to Covid.

Dr. Loza, for the challenges of online learning, did a decent job adapting. Her pre-recorded YouTube lectures really helped a lot as her Zoom lectures had some rambling. Tries to find new ways to help students understand the material. She really wants to see you succeed. Did an effective job teaching the course and connecting it to real life.

I took Dr. Loza in Autumn 2020, and she was an amazing professor. So good, that I am also taking her for Chem 1220. She is a caring professor and wants to see you succeed. I got a C on the first midterm of the course, went to office hours, and did the book problems, and got a 50/52 on my final. I couldnt have done it without Dr. Loza.
