TEACHES LIKE SHE"S SPEAKING WITH HER COLLEGUES
THIS IS THE MOST HORRIBLE CHEM TEACHER IN HISTORY. DON'T TAKE HER IF YOU DONT'T WANT TO REPEAT THE CLASS.
It's not true that all students repeat her class.Who repeats are the lazy ones.This professor makes sudents work hard and learn something.I dont think that people who dont want to study at all should even attend college.In my opinion this professor is not only fair but also helpful and straight forward.
Boring,reads off slides all class long,if u have question u will get vague answer,and if u still dont get it,oh well,she tells u to go home and get it at home,chem. isnt kind of subject that u could just go home and get it,u really have to be into self torture to be in her class,if u dint do lab assignment forget about lab, she be by door checking
I took her at Hunter College and she's one of the most dedicated professors I've encountered...she made topics very understandable...I was having problems in earlier chemistry classes, and she made it so clear to me. Def. take her if you want a better understanding.
Very challenging class. she is an ok professor. its the material thats very challenging.
If you're looking to waste time & money she is the perfect professor for you. Not only will you enter the class confused you will leave worse then what you arrived. You'll become lost in one chapter she would move right along, she could care less. Be warned stay far way. If chemistry is your passion Professor Levine is the best you can get.
A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's a great, and dedicated professor who encourages students to ask questions. Her guidelines are very clear, and her class is not only challenging, but fun. It can be an easy A if you utilize blackboard and put in 3 or 4 hours of study time per week. Watch out for her bad chemistry jokes though
Her intro to chem is the biggest waste of time, all her lectures are verbatim from the textbook. If you ask her about something outside the textbook she won't even answer it. Her classes and labs are incredibly boring. I'm sure she's smart, she just cannot teach. Maybe her higher level classes are better.
She can not teach! Just reads off the slides. Prof. Kosky was supposed to teach, and she stepped in at the last minute. Worst professor I had in my life.Her quizzes are not even in the textbook. Even if you read the entire chapter you cannot answer her quizzes.She doesn't even teach any material that she gives on the test!
All she does is read off some power point slides. I can read, I don't need you to read to me. Her explanations for things are unclear, and when you ask to clarify she gives you an even more roundabout explanation. I will be so glad when this semester is over.
Um, do ya think you have a problem when two thirds of your class drops? Between lazy power point presentations and having a poorly organized textbook, I am surprised I am even passing. I would drop but why I subject myself to such pain for a second time?
This professor is very HARD...she gives a quiz every week and her exams are very tricky...I studied a lot and I received not more than a "B". The class began with 30 students and at the end we were only 12...If possible take another professor or get ready to struggle with her.
SHE IS A BAD, BAD TEACHER!!! The WORST professor in my entire educational life! If I had the authority I would fire her. She doesn't desrve to teach in BMCC! She doesn't deserve a teaching job! Think twice before taking her! Trust me you will feel what it is to get a grade below C in her class. You should refer your friends to not take her classes.
If you dont want to mess up your transcript then dont take her. She is a very WASTE of time and money and will make your grade surprisingly miserable at the end of the semester. She disrespects everyone in the class. She makes the subject extremely boring and just miserable. She is the WORST! Dont believe me? Take her class and you will regret it.
love her.she was great, my 1st sem back after 19yrs.Never took chem but got an A.she's patient and nice and knows its challenging course, she gets that and it shows in her teaching.PPoint and BB.tests mainly from notes and adds 2.5 points(to final grade)just for logging in to BB.She puts all of the tests online so you can study them for final!!!!
your kidding me right?her class was a complete was a waste of my time. I took her ch 121 class two yrs ago and regretted it the minute I walked in the first day.Because of her,I had to change my major and drop the class, never again will I be stupid like that again!!!
Professor Boydston-White is a really smart woman however she doesn't know how to teach. All she does is read off the power point. You on your own in this class because she cannot teach. Her test are not really that hard but basically you teaching yourself. If you are good in Chem take her but if aint. Take someone else.
Halfway through the class. Started off great and then realized her reading of the powerpoints was just that and I could have stayed home. If something is misunderstood she restates it in the same way she presented it. I am a returning student. Would not recommend her if you are interested in learning chemistry. Labs are unclear.
Attendance mandatory but not necessary. Powerpoints, nuff said. Book is obtuse and incomplete...a heavy, 200$ doorstop. Found better material using 'the google'. Do yourself a favor...look elsewhere. If you want to be frustrated and feel helpless than stick around because you will. She knows her stuff just not how to teach it.
She is really genuine and sweet. However, as other students mentioned, she simply reads off the slides and when you ask questions, she rephrases whatever her original point was, and eventually you find yourself lost and confused. It gets frustrating. I had to drop the course because no matter how hard I studied for the quizzes, it wasn't enough.
The worst professor ever! Proof of that is that people prefer to take saturday morning classes rather than taking her. Everybody knows she is horrible. Her explanations are confusing. Two quizes per week and 75 questions for the midterm.My class started with 25 people and ended up with 9. Don't take her!!!
Wow! ALL THE REVIEWS ARE RIGHT. I can't wait for this class to be over. The textbook is a mess, and then she is a poor teacher with this attitude about how she has to challenge her students. Honestly, I love chemistry and I study hard, but will be receiving the worst grade I have EVER in college. Ruining my perfect transcript!
THE WORST PROFESSOR EVER. she walks into class, reads off the slides then leaves. doesn't explain anything at all. she is NOT A TEACHER. if u want to pass, you have to teach yourself all the material. there is no point of going to her class, might as well stay home and read the book yourself. oh wait, but if your even just late she marks you ABSENT
absolutely terrible. she will do everything in her power to make sure you do not receive the grade you want. you must teach yourself ALL of the material. second half of the semester = death. never met such a cold hearted professor in my life. chemistry IS NOT THAT BAD its the prof that matters, and she is the WOORRSSTTTT
All she does is read for what feels like hours, and puts you straight to sleep. Redbulls/coffee will not save you in this class! Worst teacher ever...STAY AWAY if you actually want to pass!
one of the worst professors ever.the only thing she does is read of powerpoint slides and give you a quiz every week on the lesson from last week. on mondays we had her in the classroom for 1hr and 40 minutes then tuesday we had lab day with another teacher and then thursdays was the quiz day. she squeezed all material in that 1hr and 40. stay away
After all of the reviews i hope mine would be much real. there is so many people who don't want to study. Yes, it's true that professor is very hard to understand and reading from power points, but if you don't understand some material she will stay with you after class until you know it, she is very helpful, nice, and educated professor.
WORST TEACHER I COULD EVER HAVE. SHE DOES NOT HELP ANY OF HER STUDENTS AT ALL. IF YOUR FAILING SHE DOESNT CARE SHE IS LATE FOR THE LAB BY 5 MINUTES SOMETIMES MEANWHILE SHE DOESNT LET YOU IN IF YOU ARE LATE.
I received a Bachelors degree from a University. I truly believe that this professor was one of the best I have ever had. She is fair and she expects you to come to class prepared. Chemistry is a college class, this is not high school. The professor is very knowledgeable and also approachable.
Wonderful professor, always smiling, creates a warm and comfortable learning environment. If you do your work it easy to get an A. All you have to do is use the 7 days given to you to revise for the chapter before weekly quizzes and ALWAYS prepare for lab. I don't regret one bit choosing this professor
Guys the grade she gives is not what you have to get. If u take classes with her you will get frustrated with science and its branch. Save yourself and save your future. DONT DARE TO TAKE HER !!!!!!
It's a hard class, harder than other chem 202 classes. If you put in lots of time, you should pass. If you are time strapped, have a job/kid/sick mother, etc. and you can only study for chem one day a week, i HIGHLY suggest you take another professor. You will still do well in chem - but probably not with her.
She only judges her grades by quizzes, exams, and weekly lab reports. No participation, homework, or needless assignments and I loved it. She is a very sweet person, and is understanding if you are showing you take the class seriously. She's impersonal in class yet one on one she's really nice. Treats everyone with respect. Calm class atmosphere.
she is the worst prof ever. she doesn't teach.she only uses power point slides if you never done chemistry before you will fail her class
Only uses slides to teach...no kidding! There are definitely no pros when it comes to this professor. Had to teach myself everything. Came to class and left the lecture more confused than ever. Labs don't even relate to lectures at all. Without Khan Academy and Youtube, no doubt that one will have to get a W or fail. Good person at heart..bad prof.
Do not take, i gave her reviews the benefit of the doubt and it bit me in the behind. All your questions will go unanswered and she is not as helpful as she seems. Will never review before an exam, except go over slides you have already seen. Does not teach at all or even break down any problems.sweet person but not the best professor.
DO NOT TAKE HER IF YOU WANT D OR F SHE DOESNT TEACH SAVE YOUR MONEY!!
She is the devil incarnated. Plain and simple. See for yourself. DO NOT take her unless you already have a higher degree in Chem. She will test you on materials she went over 24 hrs before class and her tests will be on the hardest questions in every chapter. Expect to teach yourself every single thing. Tests are extremely tricky, designed to fail.
I realize through her - a person's lifetime income has nothing to do w/ their PhD or arrogance but it's often a direct correlation of how many people one has helped vs. lives ruined. Her failure as a human being made me understand it's better to learn emotional intelligence vs. advanced knowledge. God luck, you're going to need it to keep your job.
This professor is not a professor. She is a chemist. 2 completely different fields. If you are a grad chem student who needs a refresher this class MAY help you. Dr White is a nice person who seems knowledgeable but an awful professor. Not helpful at all, does what is written in black and white and gives zero care for passing or failure.
She is fair. People complain because she does not spoon feed, but she gives you chances to do well. This is college people, NOT high school - read the book, do problems and come to class and you should be fine. If you dont understand, she will always help you but you need to try and figure it out yourself also!
Inadequate teaching ability, relies too heavily on power point,dull, sneakily rude "this is not high school" is her favorite phrase, mono toned. Non active teaching style, doesn't prepare students well for exams. Explanations are confusing, long, and complex. You will study non stop for this class and fail
Prof White is one of the worse teacher I ever came across my entire academic life. she should be teaching PhD students because the material she deliver has not to do with class.no matter how hard you work she will still fail you.your best bet is to take a different prof or prof Chang she's wonderful
I rue the day that I did not drop this course. I took it over the summer, thanks to this Professor who lacks emotional intelligence and the ability to teach I retook this course. To my dismay the 2nd Professor I had did not teach the class the way professor White did.
Prof white horrible teacher no matter how hard you study you will not pass.Future students register for different Prof unless you want D or F with Prof white. Prof Chen is great if you are not to go in chem, she explain the materials well and is very fair.
I'm taking this Chemistry in the summer session !. she doesn't help you when you need it. Plus she doesn't do review for her test and they are not easy. specially if she give you 2 a 3 chapter in 1. If you are absent then you miss whats going to be in the exam unless you have background on chemistry. DON'T TAKE HER.
She is very condescending, sucks at communicating concepts and she expects you to solve really hard problems on the exams. Her explanations are very long and hard to understand. If you want a prof. that deconstruct concepts well enough for you to grasp them then DO NOT TAKE HER. You're asking for an F if you stay her class.
she was a nice person but when it came to teaching i wasnt understanding. her way of teaching is using her lecture notes thats it. i dropped her class bc i felt i would had , had to teach myself and i didnt want all that stress in the summer. maybe its not fair for me to write a review since i dropped within the 1st week but thats my impression .
Don't pick this professor. Why because she expects you to know the material alreadyy . I had to drop the class since I was failing . I studied my but off . Her Exams ARE SO Hard & Confusing . She read notes off of power point . For my class she was giving us quizzes before labs . I felt that was unfair cus if you failed the quiz u fail the lab .
If you don't study any class is hard, She is a kind , nice and if you ask she will help you. she teaches at a slow pace, so you can't get lost. you can always ask questions and she will explain! you have to read the book not just her power points. if yo work hard yo will get the A
Lectures are very monotonous and stagnant. She's your run-of-the-mill professor that reads off the powerpoint slide to slide and sends you home. Explanations can get so convoluted that it's better off to study at home because it will be frustrating. Reviews before tests are nonexistent and questions are written as if you already took the course.
She is an intelligent professor however she should be teaching more advanced students in this subject. She gives pre quizzes every week, quizzes every week, her PowerPoints are each at least 80-100 pages long. She doesn't condense information. Her explanations aren't always helpful. Even the smart science kids were struggling.
I typically appreciate a professor who expects a certain extent of rigor, but I found that her occasional offhanded condescending manner made the the course off-putting altogether. Material is organized difficult, but do-able with the effort. She will not make exceptions to any rules even if student suffers extenuating circumstances.
Assigned work shows students what to expect at a senior college. However, she is strict to a point where it resembles a dictatorship. She is quick to remind us that this isn't high school, yet she micro-controls so much that I felt patronized. i.e: she requires receipt for manuals if we don't bring hard copy to lab. Very frustrating behavior.
She can't teach for crap and questions for the quizzes online are from the website. Also what professor would need a receipt to show proof that your have the lab manual. Whenever she grades quizzes or exams, the way she grades was stupid. I have to drop her class because the grade on my midterm was terrible and regret taking her class
Chemistry is a hard class that takes a lot of time and effort regardless of who the professor is. Professor Susie Boydston-White is helpful and answers all your questions. Quizzes are every week, extra points in each quiz. Can get an A if you study for every class. This class is not for lazy students.
She is a very difficult proffessor...... She does not know how to teach properly and condense material in order for the students to understand. And if you do not understand she gets frustrated. Tried to drop 2 days after the deadline and she refused to sign my waver because I was not hit by a bus or anything serious
She not helpful at all, very difficult to work with, ignored emails. Do not take her class.
Took this as a hybrid online course. Very clear about expectations and in her presentation of the material via online powerpoints. Took time in Lab to explain confusing subjects.
Don't take her. trying to failing people instead of helping. group lab graded diff' with no reasonable reason. taking off points on everything including spelling mistakes or not following instructions even if you get the right answer. quizzes every week which you get zero if didn't do h/m . uses notes to explain stuff in lab & still makes mistakes.
Probably the worst professor ever. You have to read more than 100 slides on blackboard, take a test, and then come to class to more tests. Never again.
If you put in 3-4 days a week studying you will do well. Do all problems in the book except challenge problems, then her problems which are easier than the book. Quizzes once a week with at least 10% extra credit. Midterm and final with bonus questions as well for extra points. If you go to her office before the quiz she answers questions nicely.
DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS. Gives you over 70 questions to study before the quizzes each week, with material inlcuded for next week so you cannot focus on the current week. Less than 50% on the hw, you fail that week's quiz. Doesn't explain things properly, you are basically teaching yourself an already tough subject. TERRIBLE, DON'T TAKE HER CLASS
really heavy amount of homework that is much harder than the quizzes or class. Would seriously take 10 hours or more to do even if you did understand. teacher is nice, but doesn't seem to care about students learning the material. More concerned about copyright of lab book and that students don't cheat or work together on labs.
She doesn't care about students nor for explaining the material. She has designed her class to fail students. Everyone knows this. She's a dictator. She ask you to show proof you bought your lab manual which is ridiculous.
Here's my advice- be real with yourself. If you are a slacker (no shame) or you're hoping to squeeze through chem w/o learning much just so you can have the credit completed? Find a different professor. This one is not for you. Hardest class I've ever taken in my life, which isn't to say it wasn't "worth it" necessarily. It's just hard as hell.
All they say it's true. She seems to be a nice lady who doesn't care about no one because apparently is a full-time faculty so no one will fire her. Take another course and make your life easy.
less than five students pass when i took her.
This professor have the ability to shatter your dreams as she doesn't even care about her students. On the power point, she puts 200 slides on each topic and believed that we know everything within one week. For the lab manual, she will ask you for a receipt as this annoys me a lot. Overall, she acts nice on the outside, she's really have no heart.
If you see her name when you register, just look for another professor. If you don't want to mess your gpa, don't take her. Every week, She'll give you 200 slides w/c is hard to understand. 50-80 practice questions that'll make you feel that you understood the lecture. And 10 points quiz w/c is extremely difficult and will give you an F grade.
Her class is so difficult. She only give two exams; midterm & final. The midterm term is the first seven chapters and the final is the last seven chapters. she aim to fail the students. She give 40-50 practice questions & her power point slide are from 98-116. If you got some mistake in the lab exercise, she will take points away. DON'T TAKE HER
She acts nice on the outside, but in her heart it has a duty to shatter every students' dream. Every week, she post practice quiz online and hands the real deal when we meet and all the questions doesn't make any sense. For the exams, they are roughly 70 questions and she expect us to know this. She doesn't even help her students at all.
Worst class I ever took in college. PLEASE FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO TAKE. This class is a waste of time and money. She has no reviews, the practice quizzes have nothing to do with the real quizzes, and she deducts points off your labs for no reason.
inaccessible, disorganized, avoid at all cost. you will not learn anything from her class anything.
I got an A minus in her class which is surprising to me. She is the most difficult teacher i ever had it was stressful throuhout the whole semester, she takes points off every thing. Don't get me wrong she is nice but she's just a harsh professor. I took this as a hybrid if you like a challenge take her class . This class took most of my time.
I was one of the people that didnt drop her class even after reading these reviews and it cost me. AVOID this evil lady at all costs!! She did not let me make up 1 lab of 1 week before in order for me to qualify for the NC grade. I attended all her classes and that was the first lab I missed. I have never come across someone so evil in my life
More than half of the class dropped her class and out of 12 of us that were left, about 4 of us had to email the dean about her behavior. On the final she said we have to show work even on multiple choice question b/c if we dont we wont receive credit. Takes points off labs for things such as commas and dots. Also has an envy towards girls
Very rude and sarcastic ... IF YOU HAVE DREAMS PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS PROF. She will make you feel stupid and that you are unintelligent. She is literally the worse and wont help anyone. She does not deserve to be a professor if she keeps acting like this. She is extremely careless and doesnt teach nothing ... do your self a favor and skip her nam
Worst professor i have EVERRRR had . She does not help you whatsoever. Expects you to know every single thing. On blackboard her power points have atleast 105 slides. EXTREMELY tough grader. Takes of points for the smallest things such as adding a 0 or removing one. Test are weighed ridiculously high. do yourself a favor DONT TAKE HER AT ALLLLLL.
PLEASE, when you see her name -SKIP IT. She will fail you even if you try hard. She will call you out on things and will make you feel uncomfortable in front of the class. She is a horrible proffesor, she does not know how to teach to treat her student. DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR AND DON'T TAKE HER
Please, Don't take her class. Even if shes the last option because of registration deadline, just wait until next semester She's truly not interested in teaching or helping you to understand the material. Unless you have a gift in the sciences or can teach yourself, you will be wasting your time and money. Please study with a professor that cares.
I can't speak to her lecture abilities because this was a hybrid class but she was a great professor. She was very clear about her grading and what was expected of you when. The class was super organized. She tells you the first day if you can't dedicate several hours to studying per week you should drop the class.
These reviews almost scared me off taking Dr. Boydstons class, but Im glad I did. If youre a slacker, expect to be coddled, or think that because this is a hybrid class, the coursework should be easy, then this isnt the class for you. However, if you put in the work, And take advantage of all the extra credit, theres no way you can fail
She might be one of the professors that actually got me into depression. At first, I though she is nice lady, but reality hits and got me worried about my GPA. Thanks to her, I see her as someone who doesn't see her students as worthy successors but instead sees them as failed human beings or she really hated her job working there.
Before I signed up for Boydston I looked at the reviews, they were low but I kept an open mind that I had to work for my grades regardless who the professor was. But this professor designs everything so you can fail, she goes beyond measures to make sure her exams difficult. Either than that I see no effort from her in anything else. DON'T TAKE
This was the worst professor I have ever had !!! She is very condescending, I would NOT recommend her at all. You have to go over modules by yourself and then come to zoom sessions and ask questions, if you need a professor that teaches then dont choose her ! Her mid term had 8 or more answer choices per question!!! WORST PROFESSOR EVER
TAKE another professor even if you have to wait for next semester. I devoted at least 6-8 hrs daily on chem. You teach yourself. Tests are not similar to worksheets/quizzes as she says. Tests are specifically structured to confuse & throw you off track, no matter how much you study, even switches the periodic table day of exam.
This class says it is synchronous but the Professor operates as if it were asynchronous. Only requiring that we be present on test days. So that means little to no lectures to explain the work you're expected to know. HW is provided weekly. Test are VERY difficult. 12-15 answers per question on test to choose from, instead of normal 2-3 options.
This professor has been so great! She really cares! This class is online and asynchronous, a challenge, but this professor is the most available of any I have ever had! So many of my classmates are trying to cheat and are mad that they can't in this class. Very organized. Straightforward. I am studying and doing great!
I just finished my third chemistry course with this professor. I wish she could teach all of my science courses. She is clear, organized and easy to follow. She assigns worksheet problems that really help you learn. She told me what to do to learn. When I did what she said, I aced the tests. Her tests are fair. Chemistry is hard, she really helped.
Worst professor in modern history. Teaching is just not for her. She made up an imaginary periodic table for exams, she doesnt care at all. Im begging every student do not take her classes if you want to learn and pass. She is just awful. I wished I read the comments before taking her class. Absolutely do not waste your time and money with her.
Dr. Boydston-White is very transparent with her expectations of students. She gives lots of resources to help students understand a difficult subject, and is available many hours throughout the week to assist any students who need help. Class attendance is not mandatory, but she suggests that students attend, and goes over the material thoroughly.
She is the worst professor ever. She didn't explain a thing, she sent us a lot of homework, and if you have a question you need to come to her, and she will explain the exercise. You will have to find an explanation yourself and learn by yourself. English is my second language, so it was tough to find a good explanation online and for free.
How'd she take points off my grade because of someone had left the station dirty. Brought it to her attention and she STILL didn't fix my grade; she even blamed me as if I can control others.
Unbelievable. Took her last semester and most of us failed! She don't teach, you need to self study. The test are in person, but you need to study by yourself all over the semester!! No classes, only office hours!
No lectures/zooms etc you have to self teach 20 chapter of chem by yourself. Literally only comes to school to serve tests and only actual work she does is grading tests. she practically just collects her check and poof gone like she's never there all of her classes are struggling.
tests are 60% of your grade if you ask her abt when lectures will be like i did on the first day of classes which also happen to be the last day to change classes she will avoid the question does not grade anything else but tests her "help" does not help at all. she makes me stress so much especially if you are a nursing major, shes such a pain.
This prof was really caring & nice. This class was structured horribly. I self taught before happily, but the textbook was AWFUL to understand. Async w/ no recorded lectures, relying on bad comp programs & vids from other sources- it was a very diff. ask of an already hard subj. She had office hrs if needed & seemed like she might teach better irl.
A lot of work today and very little explaining
Worst professor ever! She does not care if you pass. You only see her once a month (and that's only on the day of the exam). She doesn't reply to emails and when she does it's all attitude. Don't waste your time taking her as a professor.
If you need to take this class, please don't take her as your professor. She is awful, full of attitude, makes up periodic tables, exams are way harder than the practice quizzes that she offers. Her personality is a big no, always looks mad and makes you feel uncomfortable. Do yourself a favor and get a different/better professor.
Please steer clear of this professor she is the absolute worst! Her lectures do not align with her tests. (And that is if you can manage to extract any information from her lectures in the first place) She answers questions with vague explanations, many times I was left more confused than before I asked her for clarification.
Worst class ever. I aced Chem 1, but with this professor, I'll be lucky to pass Chem 2. Instead of lectures, she posts 4-hours worth of YouTube videos, assigns weekly quizzes, and dodges direct answers to questions. None of the practice worksheets, quizzes, or exams match up with the material, so you end up teaching yourself everything.
She look nice but she gives a lot of homework. Every week, she give multiple choice with 40 questions and it not for homework. It for student to review for the quiz. It will be nice if she actually teach but she can't. I wouldn't recommend to take this class professor. If you are, RUN!!!!
The course needs improvement. The professor provides minimal explanations, assigns over 100 slides weekly, unrelated videos, and ungraded practice questions that don't match quizzes or exams. With unclear help and unclarified zeros on assignments, students feel set up to fail. Many are dropping due to lack of support; a better approach is needed.
This is worst professor I have ever had.Very unhelpful ,disrespectful and rude.If I could I would give zero on her rating.Please save yourself if you can by not taking her class. Department does not helps when complain about the professor.Taking this professor bad decision
Avoid her class if possible. She makes chemistry harder with tough exams, strict grading, and significant penalties for minor mistakes. Though she helped me improve from a C- to a B, I suspect this was partly because only 5 of 20 students finished the course.
shaking my head …
very strict about grading topics and will not give any credit even if problems are solved correctly. Does not provide clear and constructive feedback to improve in the course.
Her rating means EVERYTHING. This is not a joke nor an exaggerated claim: Two-thirds of the students dropped their class before the end of the semester, and the rest either failed or barely passed. She is strict, and she does not know how to teach. The biggest takeaway I had from her class is that you can still fail even if you put effort.
Susie clearly doesn't like chemistry, teaching or students. Often produces incorrect answers to her own questions. Does not give clear instructions (about how many significant figures to use, etc) and then punishes students harshly for not being able to read her mind. Refuses to give any guidance about what will be on exams.
Absolutely terrible professor. Didn't really go over anything , tests were terrible and she was no help at all! she doesn't seem to care about the students much and i had to drop this class because of how tough it was. DONT TAKE HER !
The rating is not a lie. I tried taking her class 2x and I just cannot get it. Her lectures dont help at all for what she test on. Doesnt help that tutoring is non existent for this class.
The rating is the truth!!. The lectures do not help at all on what you are being tested on, Only thing that helps is that afer every exam she sends a check in on how your grade is projected to be.
She is extremely strict with pre-labs and will ask students to leave for small errors. Her tone can feel passive-aggressive, and the class environment caused many students to feel discouraged. Several classmates dropped the course and frequently expressed concerns also she doesn't really explain things and exams are extremely hard.
