class average for all the tests were 40. and she doesn't curve.

She only copies previous semester's notes as her lecture and miswrites a lot and it gets really confusing of you don't ask questions. She does give a few extra credit opportunities, but not many

Ugh this class is by far the hardest class. First the lectures are super long and then you really don't learn anything because its too much info, so it is a self taught class. And all class test we have taken this year, the average was around 55. She gives extra credit but only to get the average to 60 and you have to work pretty hard for it.

This professor is by far the worst I have had here at UNT. She does all of her lectures by copying fill in the blank notes which are not helpful and contain too much information so concepts are touched on but not explained enough to be fully understood. Her tests are extremely hard and are not similar to the multiple reviews she gives. Do not take!

To note on "so many papers": printing out 160 pages of fill-in-the-blank lecture notes, and if you're like me, didn't help me study, just used $5 of my printing credit, and hours of my time to rewrite into a notebook--hoping I can remember something. I understand she's from UT Austin. However, if you are not impassioned by chemistry, DO NOT TAKE.

Wow, Sophie Kinyanjui may be one of the nicest professors on UNT's campus, and also one of the absolute worst professors I have ever taken. She had 6 tests, a final, 3 papers, and a group project which was ridiculously disorganized, all of her test averages have been below 50s, she doesn't give study guides... if you value your sanity, avoid her:(

YIKES Her lectures are EXTREMELY slow and while she's a very sweet person she doesn't seem to know anything about chem herself. She teaches the most basic chem things in class and then throws you into the deep end on homework. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASSES.

I got through her class without actually learning anything and I am now paying for it in my upper-level biochem classes. Do not take this class if you care about your grade or are planning to continue with a science major! You will not know the information you need to know.

Took for lab and quizzes had videos attached but videos had nothing to do with quizzes, quizzes were hard and I had no idea where the material she was basing the quiz was coming from. Quizzes were out of order and had odd turn in dates that did not go with labs. Quizzes were numbered but were not listed to specific lab experiments. Terrible lab.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. She is a nice woman but there is SO much work, you will want to explode. There are 6 exams, group projects, online HW, 3 essays, and more. I am a senior in college and have never taken a course that is so demanding of coursework. Seriously, if you love yourself, do not take her courses.

DO NOT TAKE. I got an A in chem 1 and am not passing this class. She lectures the whole class and barely shows you any practice problems, then expects u to come to recitation and gives little short worksheets to see if you know it. Then she makes you get in a group of 4 to do that ws all over again with a group. Lots of homework as well. TestsHARD

(Sigh) Where do I start, this class has given me all the anxiety. No, I am not kidding do yourself a favor and take this class with another professor - trust me, you will regret taking this class. 1. She reads from lengthy Powerpoints that are available on BB 2. 70 students failed our most recent exam with 59s or below 3. Does not answer emails

Prof Kinyanjui is the worst professor I had in my college career. I sent multiple emails asking for extra work before an upcoming exam to practice or for help on assignments and she blew off every one of them. Homework due dates weren't on the syllabus. Good luck getting help from her. The TA is who helped me pass the course.

Horrible professor, I've had professors with thick accents before and she is the only one that i have had a problem with. She is NEVER clear with instruction and even contradicts herself CONSTANTLY. The TA did not help either as she was the same way and whenever 70% of your class is failing, then that says A TON.

She is inept at teaching. Absolutely horrible at explaining things and not very receptive when people asked her questions. There were a few papers that were easy but entirely too long for what they were focused on.

Ugh. Where to start. It has been a nightmare! Her lectures are not helpful at all with what she expects from us on the tests(5 plus final!). The exams are hard! Homework, group assignments, and essays are easy but not worth enough to help. I am graduating this semester and I am terrified to find out my final grade. Do Not Take this class!

Horrible. 5 tests plus a final (that is scheduled @ 8am on a Saturday) Her expectations for non-science majors is laughable and her tests reflect that

Shes contradictory &oblivious to everyone during lectures and hardly ever notices when someone raises their hand for questions in class. Majority fail exams. there is a quiz at the end that she says shes going to only include questions that we students create and tells everyone to study those; yet, there are only 5 student questions/25 included.

She was unable to answer my questions. Had to get outside help. Hardest class I have ever taken. Can't understand her and she does not elaborate when you ask for it.

Professor Kinyanjui is a sweet woman, however she can't teach. Our test averages have all been in the 40s so far. If the entire class with the exception of 2 people fail, it isn't the students fault. She is very disorganized, and tends to not show many examples, but rather lecture over conceptual stuff that doesn't even appear on the exam.

In my opinion, this course was super easy. If it is difficult for anyone, I would recommend just reading the textbook that the class is required to purchase. That and the teaching assistant provides help too. My complaint is that the professor is difficult to understand and does not explain concepts well. Other than that, she's a nice lady overall.

Professor Kinyanjui gives out too many handouts, lots of homework, too many online quizzes, and the tests are very difficult, shes a very tough grader, even if you think You have done very great.

This is coming from a person that has a 3.6 gpa in science classes, not saying that is great but its means I somewhat care. So by saying that, I am giving you guys a fair warning to COMPLETELY ERASE THE THOUGHT OF EVER TAKING CLASSES WITH THIS PROFESSOR. The material is tolerable to teach yourself because thats basically what you pay for with her.

Dr. K is a wonderful person but a terrible professor. Everything I learned I had to teach to myself. There was way too much homework to ever keep up with. If you plan on taking this class with Dr. K, and expecting to get an A, then make sure you aren't taking any other classes, and plan to dedicate every waking moment you have to this class.

She kinda sucks at teaching. Really thick accent. Does not know how to use Canvas, I got 135 notification per hour just for her class the first week. Does not update canvas calendar at all. Also everything on her Canvas had Big bold highlighted "Remove before posting" explaining how to use canvas. Which she still messed up. Pick any other teacher.

Dr. Kinyanjui is not an instructor that is best suited trying to teach a large pool of undergraduates. She is a professor that is all over the place, unorganized, and relies much on her teaching assistant to get lessons across the class. Would not recommend taking her class.

She sucks! I am majoring in chemistry and she has taken all the fun and love I have for it away. She is not interesting and very slow. She doesn't post examples on how to work problems out on the quiz reviews and I asked her to start doing it and she said "That is too much work."

Professor K is a nice lady, but a terrible prof. She goes over content with little examples. Uses alkes as a crutch for teaching. 50 min time window for 25 question tests. if you have anxiety, DONT TAKE HER. she gave us extra credit because every test average was around 60/65. she rushed the last chapters and tested over them. everyone did awful.

This lady is awful. The criteria for what we needed to do on the tests changed so dramatically throughout the year that it wasn't even funny. The first test was very straightforward, study and you would get an A. However, after that test it went downhill. She is also so incredibly boring in her lecture. There are several better options at UNT.

Constant homework, almost one assignment every other day all throughout the week. Paper attendance quizzes that are required to be performed in groups of four that wont be handed to you unless youre in a group. Constantly behind other courses in content during the semester.

Please do not take her! She is too harsh on tests and quizzes. The grading is alright, but everything else is too much for a three-credit course.

Hard class

112$ for homework access (that doesn't include the textbook)? be for real. also, group projects? in an online chemistry course? god this class is irritating. she doesn't do anything herself, you can't even claim she teaches the course.

Added questions to her exams/quizzes that were not mentioned in lectures or the recommended textbook reading. Don't expect to do well in her class unless you've already taken Chem 2 before.

DO NOT take this professor. Lots of homework, unproductive lectures, unnecessarily hard designed course. Her policy is such that the lowest mid term is replaced by HALF of your final grade. You have to do all your in-person assignments in groups. She took attendance for the class that is 1.5 hours before the Chemistry Exam. Heavy Nigerian accent.

Don't take this class if you want to avoid taking the ACS final-- take Petros instead bc writes her own finals. Dr. K is a nice person, but her class is structured to be VERY challenging. The only reason I did fine was because I took AP chemistry in high school. Be prepared for lots of ALEKS hw, confusing lecutures, and lots of groupwork.

First class I've EVER failed. She's a nice person but she is absolutely terrible at teaching. Her course structure is hard to follow, her exams have material that we did not cover in class or in homework. Her final was like 80 multiple choice questions with 5 free response if I remember correctly. Overall just avoid if possible.

For the majority of the semester the hw she assigned was due before she taught the topics So I had to self-teach myself chemistry. Every class there are attendance worksheets about what she just taught so you better understand fast. This is even on recitation days where she also gives out a packet and an online quiz due before class ends. DONT TAKE

She literally just told our class that we had to take exams with a mirror behind us in addition to a lockdown browser, after showing our school id and our surroundings all because she thought the grade average on our first exam was too high so she assumes people are cheating.There's also more but it only allows so much space. Overall just avoid her

The class itself could be challenging if you're not a fan of science in general. Has 4 exams requiring lockdown browser and webcam. A comprehensive exam at the end of the semester.

Terrible, she expected us to learn everything outside of class and the lectures were required, she also gave minimal help for testing.

If you are an introverted student or not willing to dedicate minimum of 9+ hours of studying outside of class (her words not mine) do not enroll for this class. Theres lots of homework scattered on random days of the week with short notice (a few days) so it very easy to miss a few assignments if you are not constantly checking canvas.

One of the worst professors I've ever taken in my history of being in school. Expects you to basically know everything off the get go and be on a Ph D level as she is. Just goes over some borrowed/copyrighted slides and rushes through them at that. Avoid at all cost. Anyone is better than Sophia…

I basically taught myself the entire course because her lectures made no sense. She would say we have an assignment due at the end of class 10 minutes before class ends, then spend 5 minutes trying to upload the assignment on canvas. She is very unorganized. Her slides are often missing important information and when told that, she never fixes it.

Dr. Kinyanjui is a kind person but not a good professor. She reads slides and talks. You can barely keep up with what she is saying because she writes and does not explain. We also had an 18-page hw due the day before an exam. The exams are horrible and no matter how much you study you will not do good on them, since her teaching does NOT match.

Dr.K was kind and accommodating, HOWEVER, she is the worst professor. She makes everything 10x harder than it needs to be, no consistent due dates, always behind on content/lecture, unnecessary attendance quizzes, the reviews don't match the exam, bad at teaching, difficulty answering student questions in class, too much work.(18pg HW due b4 exam).

This is your last chance to flee, do not take this Professor! She will assign so much work! Her lectures are barely coherent and i had to teach myself the material. I left every lecture feeling dum and defeated. Proceed with caution!

Do not take this professor, she is so unorganized with all of the material and she will literally give you so much work especially during her recitation classes. She gives us a group paper to work on but then she'll give us an online quiz with 6 questions that she expects us to solve within 30 minutes. I'm surprised to even have passed with a C.

It made me question pursuing my degree in STEM. I don't understand why I am paying for this class when I must teach myself all the material to fail every test. Oh yeah, the class average for every test was between 40-50%, so I don't think that it's the students. She moves on way too fast to even comprehend what you are learning.

Very difficult to contact. She changed the group teams 5 times then expected us to keep connecting with people when we couldn't even get the basic introduction done. I had a very difficult time with my team and instead of listening, she told me not to email her about it because she will not look at it. On top of that this class is hard and annoying

Respectfully, just don't take her class, only do so if it's genuinely your last option.

Lectures are super boring. Never learn anything in class. Most work is done outside of class

Hardest A of my life. She gives excessive amount of homework's, 3-5pg or a canvas quiz after every lecture, does not explain well, and is always behind to where she replaced recitation with extra lecture. The class is so stressful unless you're willing to spend 10+ hrs teaching yourself. Would not recommend please avoid at ALL costs.

This is a continuation of my review below. She also does not curve exams (even thought test averages were between 40-50 every time), arguing that's it was the students fault for lack of understanding, unless you got to PLTL , only great thing out of this class was the final was worth only 15%.

She is a teacher who genuinely says you should only get 4 hours of sleep a night. On the first day of class. She expects you to perform to an very high standard, and then does not teach anywhere near clear enough to allow that to occur. Expect random quizzes all the time, long group assignments, and to use the textbook as a better teacher. Beware.

Wouldn't take this class, would literally rather go to hell.

Lectures were hard to follow, gave homework assignments weekly (sometimes twice a week), often multiple pages. Teaching style was convoluted and hard to follow; often left key things out by mistake. Exams weren't weighted much though.

I don't know where to start. 3-5pg HW twice a week, with additional canvas quizzes. In recitation there is lots of worksheet to finish. Explains slides horribly, I had to teach myself for hours to fight for my A. Tests are weighted low but the final was difficult. Overall was a pain, and made chem 2 way harder than it needed to be. Beware.

- she made up at least 66% of the class work I had across 5 classes - it took her 5 hours to fix a problem with my final the day it was due - I had to contact the board of academic integrity to get a response from her - very hard to understand her lectures - requires respondus which had difficulty working - didn't provide all formulas for tests

I have no words. For your sanity just don't take this class with her, she makes everything way harder than it should be.

She was a nice person yes, but she can't teach like at all. I went home with a headache every single day from the information trying to be understood in my head. I see lots of people saying she dropped lots of test and homework and yea she did that because everyone was pretty much failing. She honestly needs to really evaluate her teaching skills!!
