She is a very good teacher.She's very helpful and provides a lot of extra credit. So there is no way you can do bad in her class unless you don't do anything.
Wonderful teacher! I wish she also taught P-Chem, but no such luck.
Mrs. Black is an AWESOME teacher. people think shes hard.., but actually its really easy not only to pass,, but to pass with an A or B. i mean, come on. she has study sessions for extra credit, and gives so much opportunity to get your grade higher than wut it is. if you fail her class,, u suck.
i like the way you teach its just a bit slow due to the other students.
She always makes time for her students and she is never too busy too help. She gives very good advice for success in the class...but some students may disregard it if she does not repeat herself. Also, she might not realize that a few students do not take her deadlines seriously. They know she will not be as strict as she claims.
Prof. Black is AWESOME. If you attend class regularly, there is no reason you should fail. The in class labs are pretty cool and most homework can be googled. She has a loving personality and I highly recommend her!!
Dr. Black is a great professor. She will take her time to make sure that everyone understands and will also give you one on one assistance before or after class if you need it. I highly recommend you take her class.
She cares about her students and their progress within the course. If you take course, be ready to work., you will learn though because she pushes you to want to learn the subject of chemistry.
She gives a lot of Test Retakes and offers tutoring for extra credit.
Gives you opportunity to raise grades
She is a great professor.
Good class, great teacher.
shes good
Dr. Black's class is amazing. She provides clarity on several topics and makes it easy for some of us to understand. This class is good for students who need a refresher on general chemistry, or who are very shaky on the matter in general. You should, however, enter the course with some background knowledge in chemistry (high school level at least)
Dr. Suely Black is a wonderful instructor, she really cares about her students and give every opportunity to succeed, so if you don't you have not tried. She is dedicated and inspirational, I am glad to have taken chemistry for the very first time with her.
She is a really good professor and she cares about the students. She sometimes goes fast when it going over harder concepts and slower when its the easier concepts. If you have an A in the class you do not have to take the final which is very nice.
There was loads of homework. Online homework was ridiculously long and difficult
She is a good teacher and helped me understand things I didn't understand at first.
She is very helpful. If study session are giving go to them because it she really helps you understand the material. It's a lot of handouts but they really help you. She goes fast over a chapter but she will go back if needed too. For chemistry you really have to study for more than just a hour.
She is a great teacher. She is willing to help you as much as need. Has tutoring sessions. Also gives opportunity for exam retakes; which is helpful. Does her best to help you understand.
Dr. Black was very helpful throughout the semester, she had study sessions available for students and gave the option to retake a test if you didn't do so good.
Dr. Black is an incredible teacher and she's enthusiastic in the classroom. She believes in her students and she wants people to do well in her class. Biggest tip, ask for help all the time. Go to tutoring sessions, bring questions you have issues with to her. Watch the videos, bring your clicker to class, try to understand the material.
The class is very tough.
Shes an amazing professor. my only complaint was the clicker quizzes. we would just learn and topic and then there was a quiz. other than that, she gives extra credit, make up test and provides tutoring sessioins
she assigns homework through sapling. she also gives worksheets. make sure you keep up with them because you can get extra credit.
Tests are very tough. Examples in class are easy but do not relax and expect the test to be the same way. Overall, I WOULD recommend Dr. Black. Has many resources to help learn the material better.
If you need help she is there and ready and willing. Do sapling assignments. She is very helpful.
This woman has given so many extracredit assignments its almost impossible not to get a C
Her classes are hard.
She is a great teacher. I wish I could have her for CHM 222 as well. I also wish I had her the first time I took Chemistry, she just explains things way better than my other professor did.
I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn chemistry II, she teaches it really well and I understand it really well. If I had to retake chemistry again I would take it again with her.
Study and don't fall behind
Very good professor overall. She really cares about her student's success.
The work you put in matches the grade you get. It can be a little confusing but she's willing to help. She also provides the resources as well i.e. videos
She is easy to talk to. In order to be successful do all your work p, attend study sessions, and go to class.
Dr. Black is a very good chemistry teacher. She breaks down the material for you and gives you practice worksheets to strengthen your foundation.
She's a really cool teacher, love her accent and she's really nice. Work hard in her class and be prepared for clicker questions and you will get an A.
Some of the tests and quizzes are pretty difficult sometimes, but she does give the occasional chance for a retake which is helpful.
Great Teacher. I had her for CHM 222. She starts off slow put then ramps up the pace towards the end of the semester. You have to be on your toes and her quizzes and homework are usually a lot harder than her tests.
She is a good teacher. She assigns online homework and worksheets. The course can seemed rushed, but you will be fine. If you do not understand, attend study sessions. Those count for extra points too!
Make sure you do the homework assignments and the practice exams because they're very helpful . A negative is that at the end of the semester the lessons seemed rushed but if you study and stay on top of things.
Professor really doesn't go by the book. More worksheets are given for class notes. Much homework, but not worth too many points. Fast past moving.
Great teacher! Able to break down information in a way that makes it easier to learn.
Dr. Black is a great professor overall. She gives multiple opportunities for you to good in her class and she always make time to be available to students outside of class.
Great professor. Always willing to help and stay after class. Study sessions are very helpful and are extra points towards tests. Tests/quizzes are long and hard. Lots of homework. She also gives retakes and practice exams. She gives lots of extra credit opportunities as well.
Tests are majority of your grade. They are very difficult too. If you're not strong in chemistry coming in she will tell you to drop. Sapling homework is long and can be difficult because some questions were on topics not covered in class. She gives quiz retakes . Her teaching was kinda all over the place and unclear. She made frequent errors.
great professor. always willing to help. she wants you to pass the class. gives extra credit opportunities. a lot of work but she does it so that you understand the material. would recommend.
didn't really use the book. she gives out notes and handouts to follow along. plenty of extra credit opportunities. she wants you to pass but you have to be willing to do the work.
need to come to class. you will be lost if you don't. very helpful teacher. she's really nice too. she wants you to succeed
had to retake this class but this is the first time that ive had her. shes way better than the professor that i had before. shes willing to help you pass but you have to meet her halfway.
do your sapling homework and this class will go much smoother. she gives extra credit all the time so its impossible to fail her class. great teacher.
excellent professor. knows her stuff. do your homework and you should be fine. teaching assistant mr. lee was great as well. too bad he graduates this semester.
Good professor lots of sapling homework she has lots of study sessions.
Lots of extra credit. Should have no problem passing. Come to class
Dr Black is a tough professor. Sometimes the course work isn't explained well enough. It was hard to learn material in one class with an exam coming up. However she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and sets up study sessions to help students.
Great professor. Always will to help.
Lots of homework. Don't need your book.
I am a PhD student at CMR, Norfolk State University. She took my Mathematical Methods class. I my view, she is the best math professor, I ever had. Yah Sometimes she push hard but it is how things works.
Great teacher, actually cares about making sure students understand the material, not just getting through the material as fast as possible. If you pay attention and come for study sessions when you don't fully understand things it's hard to fail.
Dr. Black cares so much about her students, and absolutely wants you to pass her class. She will help you if you just come to her and show her that you are trying, and if you do your part she is there always!
Just needs to focus on staying on topic when we are in learning teams meaning if we learned about a topic today the meeting should be about what we learned today not what we learned three weeks ago and it needs to be more in depth and people actually working to gwher in groups to help each other out not don't alone then go
it was hard and confusing at times
Dr. Black genuinely wants her students to succeed. If you are failing then it is probably your fault. She gives A LOT of extra credit opportunities and posts a bunch of resources online. She also offers 2 extra hours (multiple days a week) to meet with her and a study group. The test and quizzes aren't hard. Just study! Dr. Black is the best!
Dr. Black is an amazing instructor. She cares so much for her students and for the subject that she teaches. I would highly recommend her to any person who's taking this course.
Ms. Black is a good chemistry teacher. Her learning teams helped me learn more on the subject. Honestly, made chemistry more easier than in high school. Would recommend.
I loved how she held learning teams every week to make sure students understood the criteria.
it is a tough course so study
Dr. Black cares about your performance in the class. She will do everything she can to help you pass the class. She would let us use a cheat sheet and/or a solubility rule paper during our quizzes/exams compared to the other chemistry professors that have you memorize it. She IS a great professor. I advise you to take her!
Dr. Black is one of the few professors that genuinely cares about the scholastic welfare of her students. She is available before or after class to go over any concerns you may have about the course work and is able to make profitable suggestions. She gives out summary notes and worksheets but you have to read and stay ahead.
She's a very kind person. And she will help you out a lot if you show her you take this class seriously.
Dr. Black is very dedicated to teaching and can see that. She puts her all into making sure we understand the information.
Dr. Black is a really great teacher. She does give a lot of homework but it all helps out when it comes to preparing for tests.
sometimes unprepared for examinations
Maximum effort in getting in class on time, attending to the learning team meetings, and doing all assignments given will be rewarded towards the end of the semester-- specifically your grade in the class. Yes, you will be given many notes and homework, but this will help you in the long run in her class.
Overall, the class was pretty difficult and I wish I would have attended the Learning Teams in the beginning of the semester.
This class moves really fast.
Dr. Black is a good professor overall. She does make you work for your grade and she works with you. If she see's you trying she will help you out. Do not try to take advantage of her kindness because you ill see a Dr. Black that I've never met.
She is a great teacher and she has mandatory learning teams that really help you understand things that you didn't understand before
Great teacher, if you fail it is just because you didn't try.
She's very manageable, works with you, gives extreme extra credit, make you think, and very supportive.
She works with you.
Make sure you study and go to learning teams
She makes the course fun and interesting. Even though the course is a little tough, the resources given to you and the lecture help you with understanding the key concepts. I rarely had to use the textbook because of her and when I did it was for HW, or a little extra reading, she is such a great professor.
She explains topics extremely well. I always hated chemistry because I was never able to understand anything pas the Periodic table, but she explains it slow and gives lots of homework that helped me really understand the topics. She really cares about her students and I would strongly recommend her to anyone.
Just wish on some of the homework that was given, we would have gone over that topic in class that day not the next class. Made the homework a little more difficult. Homework wasn't bad.
Extra credit that resembles the test, weekly quizzes, short easy hw sheets every class, easy to follow lectures, and learning team assignments. If you take her make sure you have at least a 2 hour period during the week to be able to go to learning teams. The packet is what is required and completing it in the teams is very helpful!
Dr. Black is definitely my go to choice when deciding to take this class. She is empathetic, yet she's no fool. She gives extra credit but you have to communicate with her. If she sees that you are working hard she will go to the moon for you but you have to try first. Definitely read the chapters as it relates to her notes before classes.
Dr. Black is a great professor. She really goes out of her way to make sure you understand the material. There is a lot of homework, but it is very helpful.
Excellent teacher. Does lots of things to help students pass the class (extra credit, learning teams, etc.) you just have to take advantage of the opportunities. Very patient with students and will make sure you understand the material instead of letting you figure it out on your own.
An excellent teacher that knows hot to connect with the students while also being fair.
Dr. Black is a good teacher. The course is difficult, but she givens extra credit. Learning teams help a lot.
Dr. Black is a kind person who truly wants to see each and every one of her students succeed. She gives so many extra credit opportunities. and there are so many chances to meet with her if you need help. During her office hours she is in the library helping students to succeed. This class won't be easy but if you just study you will be fine.
Dr. Black is an awesome professor. Shes always working with students in and outside the class. She knows every student my name. She makes sure she develops a bond with each student making it easier to discuss any concerns or issues if any! My experience with her was one of the best experiences Ive had in college thus far. She is by far the best!
Professor Black is an amazing person. She will thoroughly explain notes and concepts. She is very accessible outside of the class room . She also offers Learning Team Meetings that she does that takes out time from her personal life to help students .
Dr. Black is a great professor and really works hard to make sure you understand the material and only wants whats best for her students. There is a lot of homework but it really helps when it comes to the tests and quizzes. There are A LOT of class notes but they are very essential to passing the class.
She is simply amazing.
in his class you will have a lot of papers handed to you whether its homework, pop quizes, uizes, class notes and many other things along with online homework. you HAVE to pay attention in class becuase you will miss a lot.
She is a great professor that gives extra credit when the time is right. She is always around to help by email and office hours. She is super caring and willing to help you catch up on anything you miss out. Just email her and let her know of your situation when you get the time. She also gives out a lot of helpful class notes.
Dr. Black is a great professor. She makes time for her students and ensures that those who work hard succeeds.
great teacher
The best professor I have ever had
Shes Great
Amazing professor. Grades equally and fairly. With this course its important to come to class everyday because missing one day will feel like you missed a week. Teaches in ways you understand.
The best teacher at NSU - hands down. All you have to do is DO THE WORK. She wants to help you but you have to help yourself too.
very clear 10/10 would recommend
She's a great professor! She is very honest, she tells you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear. She wants to see everyone succeed and she will do everything on her end to ensure that you do.
Dr. Black is a great professor, she makes it easy to learn.
If you get the chance to take Dr. Black, DO IT. The material is hard, but she will do her absolute best to make sure that you understand and do well. Dr. Black is also very easy to get a hold of through email, so there is no excuse to do bad in this class.
I had the opportunity to have Dr. Black and she has been one of the best chemistry professors I have had. She gives thorough explanations and makes tons of notes so she can make sure her students are not lost/left behind. She even holds office hours and gives extra credit. If you need her, she will do everything in her power to help you.
Dr. Black is a great professor. She gives extra credit opportunities, has tutoring sessions for quizzes and test, and hold office hours for her students if they need help. This class won't be easy, but if you study, or find someone to study with you'll be fine in the long run.
Suely Black was an absolutely amazing instructor. She was available often outside of class, gave us plenty of reference material in order to study, and constantly did her best to make sure we understood the topics she taught. She gives extra credit often, and not only does she help in the classroom, but provides other outside opportunities.
She is a great professor! She is so encouraging and always ready to help!
She is one of my favorite teachers. I wouldnt want anyone else!
make sure you express your troubles or that something is wrong from the beginning and keep on bringing it up if she still hasn't helped you.
She is a really good professor and if you want to do well in the course you will definitely be able to. However she won't let you slack off and you have to work hard to get a good grade. She gives a lot of second chances also so if you don't do well on a quiz or test there is always options to improve your grade if you try to.
Dr. Black is an amazing teacher. She truly cares about her students and really tries her best to ensure that every student is doing okay and understands the lectures. She tries to get everyone to participates in the lectures and engage. Gives lost of extra extra credit opportunities. Very blunt, but truthful so its respected.
Dr. Black is a superb instructor. Her classroom climate is positive and interactive for learning. She provides direct written feedback when she recognizes a students need clarification.She challenges her students critical thinking abilities with different question levels. If you are interested in learning chemistry, Dr. Black is the way to go!
Suely Black's teaching style is amazing. If you are ever confused on a question, you can easily raise your hand and ask it instead of having to email her.
It is hard to come by a professor who actually cares and shows it. She wants you to succeed in every aspect of your education. She has no problem with helping you understand information outside of class. She gives you a lot of opportunity to do well in her class. 10/10 recommended for anyone to take her classes
Dr. Black is a great chemistry teacher and I highly recommend her to incoming chemistry majors. She thoroughly explains concepts in class, has no problem with helping students after class, and she offers many opportunities to improve your grade.
Dr. Black is actually one of my favorite professors in the Chemistry department. She's easy to talk to if you have any issues and is always willing to help you if needed. She does assign lots of homework and outside class assignments but if you're good at time management then it should be no issue completing them. Such a great professor and person!
She is an amazing professor and is always willing to help.
Dr.Back goes above and beyond to make sure we understand the material. She gives a lot of notes, there is a lecture every class. She also gives good feedback on quizzes and tests. I love the way she teaches because of how in-depth she goes and will find at least 2 different ways to explain the material to everyone as she teaches it in class.
Dr Black is an amazing teacher, all you have to do is your part and you will get through chem with ease while having a lot of fun
Dr. Black is one of the best chemistry professors at NSU. She is very helpful and her lectures are easy to understand. She also is always willing to help students.
