She is a wonderful professor but there is a LOT of self-teaching involved. She does not prepare students for tests, I believe this may be because she is a newer professor. Tests are HARD and count a great deal towards your grade. Do not buy the text book, waste of money.

Ms. Bryant is a decent professor, but she is not the best. Sometimes she goes too slow, while other times she goes too fast and confuses most students.

Best professor I've had all semester! Each lecture covers half a chapter and I think this works at a good pace. Some may say this is too fast, but it's organized and predictable. There is online homework with Sapling and it helps with the tests. Go to every lecture for participation points. Great professor! I studied at most 2 hours for tests.

Dr. Bryant is a good professor and I would recommend her. She moves fast, but she has to, since all of the chemistry professors have to stay at the same pace.

So this class is straight up lectures and Sapling homework. Bryant goes at good pace to me, since chemistry is such a heavy course. She's slows down to answer any questions and she's very clear when she talks. However if you miss a class you miss half a chapter so show up. She's pretty good. If you take her and self-teach you'll be set

You could study everything on the learning objectives and practice test and the exam be totally different!

She is a great professor. Chem 2 is a hard class in general, but she tries to help you understand it as best as she can. You have to apply yourself and learn it outside of class or you will fall behind. Watch videos to help you understand. Clicker questions are in each lecture.

She goes over the elementary versions of calculations in class, then tests you on advanced calculations that she never taught but expects you to know. Her exams are extremely hard, the questions are tricky, and each missed question is 5% off your score. Watch the videos, go to office hours, and don't bother buying the book - you don't need it.

Dr. Bryant is very friendly. She's trying to teach the best she can during COVID, it's been a struggle but I don't blame her. I'd recommend her, the coursework is the usual chemistry and she doesn't give us a ton of work, just a weekly homework, a few "assignments," and then our tests/exams.

Dr. Bryant is super sweet. She is a great teacher and is always open to questions. I had her during COVID, so it was all online lectures, but I can only imagine she's even better in person. There's 1 homework assignment every week, lectures 2 days a week and it's all recorded. Exams are proctored and about 50 questions each. I would recommend her.
