Dr. Ellenberger is by far my favorite Chem 1212 prof at UGA. She takes time to actually briefly explain the material and then goes into practice problems. Also, she'll sometimes give bonus clicker points if you show up on days when a lot of students are expected to skip. Also, she's good at explaining the material well and helping if needed.

So UGA chemistry is already pretty challenging no matter what professor you have. I think Sue is a pretty solid choice. She actually covers material that you need to know and I think she does a decent job of it unlike my 1211 professor. She is pretty funny and actually makes the class enjoyable. She asks lots of clicker questions which is good.

Sue is one of the nicest professors I've had at UGA. Chemistry is already hard enough and Dr. Ellenberger will sit down with you and help you understand the material. I would definitely recommend going to her office hour if you are ever confused and start early because you don't want to go too long without getting help. Study her powerpoints!

She's a very good option for chemistry and was much better than the other UGA chemistry professors I've had. She takes time to make sure that she covers most of the types of questions that are on the test in class. However, the class is still extremely difficult (the nature of chemistry, not because of her), and was harder than the first chemistry.

Chemistry is hard no matter what teacher you take but Professor Ellenberger is a solid choice. She explains things very well in her lectures and answers all questions. Grade mainly based on 4 tests and a final so make sure you know how to do the homework (most questions come from there). She uses clickers religiously so show up to class.

Sue might be the BEST one for GenChem! She takes more time to explain the material instead of only doing clicker questions. She made our exams more conceptual, but half the exams were old or similar to progress checks. Keep up & understand the material after each PC!

She is a good professor, but UGA chemistry will kick your butt no matter who you take. She is really accessible outside of class and her office hours allow you to learn so much better than in class. Overall, chem is hard, but she is definitely one of the better chem professors at UGA.

Dr. Ellenberger is a really good chem professor. It is obviously a hard class (which is why she is rated a bit lower), but she does everything she can to make it easy. Highly Recommend

She's honestly one of the best chem professors UGA has had because she really cares about her students.

Professor Ellenberger as an instructor is amazing. She really wants to help you understand the concept, especially if you attend her office hours. She does a lot of clicker questions but in a limited amount of time. But the content itself is very hard, and you have to do some extra studying outside of class to really understand. Good Luck!

its gen chem at UGA so y'all already know its difficult. like chem 1 its gonna be the outside work you put in that makes your grade not the professor. she is the SWEETEST lady and has the voice of Phyllis from the office but I luv her. she talks to the class during lecture to make sure they understand and if not she will work the problem.

its gen chem at uga so yall already know its difficult. like chem 1 its gonna be the outside work you put in that makes the grade, not your professor. she is the SWEETEST lady and has the voice of Phyllis from the office but I luv her. she talks to the class during lecture to make sure everyone understands and if not she works the problem.

She makes the progress checks and the exams, so most of her clicker questions are similar to the ones you will see on those assessments. She will thoroughly explain clicker questions if the majority of students didn't get it right, but even if the majority did get it right she will still quickly setup the equations and quickly explain the process.

Organic Chemistry at UGA is difficult, however, Dr. Ellenberger makes it much more manageable. She has office hours every week, but will drop everything to help you whenever you need it. All lectures are very clear, and she gives tons of sample problems that are very similar to what you will see on the test. Overall, I would highly recommend.

Dr. Ellenberger is the only Chemistry professors that I've had that truly cares about her student's success. I've had her for Chem1212 and now for Chem2211 and she is awesome. Really accessible and willing to help in her office hours to make sure you understand the material. Organic Chem is hard, but Dr. Ellenberger will do everything to help you.

The UGA Chem department has issues of its own but Ellenberger is a decent choice for Chem 1212. She makes the tests and most of the progress checks, so you'll have a good idea of what to study. Her clicker questions are great practice for the tests as well. Just make sure to study conceptual stuff for tests because her lectures are more math-heavy.

I think Dr. Ellenberger is the best choice for Chem 1212. The class is a lot of work no matter who you take, but Ellenberger makes the tests and Progress Checks, so her classes usually have the highest grades. She explains most things clearly and goes at a good pace doing problems in class. I would definitely recommend taking her for any Chem class

UGA o-chem is infamous, but Ellenberger is a great lecturer who tries to ensure that students are getting it. It's an absurdly fast-paced course but she's patient and helpful if you meet her outside of class, and posts practice worksheets for reviewing concepts (though I'd advise incoming students to still be wary, since the tests are harder).

Such a nice and caring professor. Her lectures explained concepts very well. She was also willing to give students the benefit of the doubt most of the time. One of the bests chemistry professors at Uga hands down.

After a bad experience in CHEM1211 I was not looking forward to this class; however, I have loved Ellenberger so far. She is a sweet professor who cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She is also willing to go over confusing problems so that everyone understands. It is a tough class but that's CHEM at UGA. Be prepared to do the work.

She made attending worth it if you paid attention due to explaining the clicker Q's. Worked them out and gave plenty of examples. After our first exam, my class had the lowest grades out of her other two, so she decided to take more time lecturing the material between clicker questions. Very helpful. Better than other prof's in CHEM department IMO.

CHEM 1212 is hard no matter the professor just because of the material, but her powerpoint that she does in class and posts online really helped. She's not too boring during lecture and she made the exams (I don't think she will be anymore though) so going to class really helped.

This was my first semester at UGA after taking 1211 at another University, and I knew what I was getting into. This is one of the hardest classes at UGA, but if you put in the time and go into her office hours, you will pass the class. This is coming from a terrible test taker.

Ellenberger is cool because she often makes the tests. She occasionally has to miss class but she always tries to get Du to fill in for her because she is aware of our hatred of Blankenship. Chem at UGA sucks, but Dr Ellenberger is willing to work with you and help you through best she can. Not the best, but she is okay.

Ellenberger is a queen, CHEM at uga is a bad department but she makes the class much more bearable. She really uses clicker questions so get ready to participate in class. Do the reading, do the problems, and you'll get an A.

Ellenberger is definitely a solid choice for 1212. Many students say that 1212 is easier than 1211, but I personally struggled a lot more in 1212. Ellenberger isn't always the best at explaining clicker questions, but attending class and paying attention is definitely worth it. Overall nice prof and would take again.

Any chemistry class you take at UGA is going to be difficult. Ellenberger has a very funny personality and I think she is a good professor also. She gives us a bunch of clicker questions to do in class which helps for the tests. She is the one who makes most of the tests so having her as the professor helped my grade A LOT. I highly recommend.

She is a great teacher and very kind!

She is the most caring chem professor I've encountered. I liked her lectures better than 1212 with West--she moves fast but explains it way better. Very VERY homework heavy and lots of studying--don't take more than 15h or you'll wanna die. My only criticism is that she is kicking our butts with online class. There is twice as much work!!

She's easy to follow in lectures and practice problems, just make sure you read the book so you can understand what's happening. Also remember reading and progress checks; they can be a decent grade booster at the end of the semester.

the UGA chem department is awful but ellenberger is the lesser of the evils. her lectures are helpful but most of your learning is still done outside of the classroom. The textbook can help explain some concepts. there are many assignments due throughout the week and clicker questions each class. keep up with assignments.

UGA chem is going to be awful no matter which prof or class you take, but Ellenberger is definitely the best you can get. She probably does the most actual teaching and posts all of her annotated slides which is super helpful. She was especially a gem when we moved to online class for covid-19 because she gave lots of helpful worksheets and ppts!

I really enjoyed chemistry with Ellenberger. After coming out of Chem1211 I was nervous about another semester of chemistry with potentially harder topics. This was not the case. Ellenberger is a great lecturer and I found her powerpoints very useful when studying. During class she is usually happy and knows what topics we find confusing.

Dr. Ellenberger is a really solid choice for CHEM1212. Her lectures move at a very reasonable speed. She writes most of the exams. All her annotated lectures are online and there are worked out sample problems. TurningPoints actually help for exams. She's empathetic of students' problems.

Ellenberger is a great choice for chem. Her lectures are well presented and the information taught in them pretty much line up with everything on the exams. Compared to 1211, this class is so much better and is not as much work, but you still have to put in the work to receive a good grade.

I sat in the front and made an effort and did well. She is funny and appreciates students making an effort. She cares a lot for her students and wants to see them succeed. She remembers you out of the classroom and is super willing to help in any way shape or form. 100% shes awesome if you are willing to do what is expected of you.

Chem will always be hard and honestly, having a good professor only helps with part of the grade (like a better exam?). You have to study on your own for these weed out classes and thats the only way to succeed. I thought she was a solid gen chem teacher and probably better than the other already bad professors.

I had Dr. Ellenberger during COVID. Those who had a difficult time probably didn't put in enough effort. She really only cares about you as much as you care about your grade, and that's good. Most of my understanding came from problem-solving office hours where she walked us through homework and gave us answers. If you care, then she helps you.

Eh... this class was about what I expected. She is a fine instructor and has really helpful OH. Weekly worksheets and progress checks (took during COVID). Better than 1211 w/ Blankenship. Tests are very conceptual so if you struggle with chemistry I def suggest outside sources (like ScienceGuyz) to prepare.

Super sweet lady, hard tests but she prepares you well. Made an A and studied 2-3 hours a day

She was very helpful. Make sure to attend virtual problem solving sessions for help on worksheets. These sessions were like office hours. She made sure to explain any questions we had. There was a lot of work, but it only helped you to know what was going on. These worksheets helped to work on problems based on the lectures.

I LOVE Ellenberger! All chem professors are going to be hard, but if you have the option take Ellenberger!

Ellenberger is one of the best professors in the chem dept. She is very helpful & her office hours help a lot if you have any questions to clear up. I definitely recommend going to lectures, you won't pass if you don't. It is chem so you definitely have to study a lot but her review material is good and she will answer any questions you have.

Suzanne is a fantastic teacher. Her lectures are super clear and make the material seem easier than it is. She writes the tests, so her lectures are better focused than others'. She's also really sweet and makes the class feel inviting. The content challenges a lot of people but I think she's probably the best choice.

I've had Dr. Ellenberger for 2 semesters, and I wish she would teach ochem. So funny. Ngl you have to do lots of practice problems, but they def help on test. Attendance isn't TECHNICALLY mandatory but there are attendance points. Still recommend scienceguyz or something cause chem is hard but I think she is best choice for chem 1211 or 1212

Chem is no joke and you really have to work for your grade. However, Dr. Ellenberger is the best option for this class. She knows what she is talking about and uses lots of clicker questions in class for practice. She's really funny and overall cares about her students. Despite the difficulty of this class, she made chem more enjoyable.

Dr. Ellenberger writes the tests for 1212 & therefore teaches exactly what's on it, so she's a solid choice for this class. She always asks for feedback after the test to see how we felt about it and overall really cares about the students. Chemistry at UGA is a pain regardless but I really enjoyed having her as a professor.

Dr. E is my favorite professor. I've had her for 1211 and 1212 and I wish I could take her to Ochem with me. Chemistry at UGA sucks but she really tries to help you understand. She's super sweet and listens to students' concerns. Go to office hours, especially before exams. I haven't had other chem profs, but I'd say she's the best option!

Absolutely loved her course. The course material is quite difficult, but her explanations of concepts are very clear and she is very very approachable with any questions. She would be patient with you with questions, and her PLAs are very helpful (USE DISCORD!). She is really humorous and likeable, if it matters a lot to you (it does to me).

Dr. Ellenberger was pretty great. She taught us for the second half of the semester, and she was always caring and reasonable, open to feedback. The class is of course hard, what chem class isn't? But Dr. Ellenberger is very fair and understanding, putting out grades quickly and helping you learn wherever she can.

Dr. Ellenberger taught half of the semester and her half was amazing. You can tell she clearly cares about her students and she is very easily accessible. She gives plenty of practice problems to help you prepare for the tests. While the tests and subject matter are hard, that is because it is chemistry and it will be hard with any teacher.

Dr. Ellenberger taught the second 1/2 of the semester and was great. She was super organized, accessible for office hours, and genuinely wanted us to be successful. She offered ample study materials for exams and graded assignments quickly. General Chemistry is hard by nature, but Dr. Ellenberger made it more bearable.

Had her class in the summer. She has a great sense of humor, very extensive knowledge of chemistry, and is very understanding of the difficulty of learning the subject. She offered extra credit and was lenient on grading assignments throughout the class. The only gripes were she is not very tech savvy and was slow to put in grades.

Dr. Ellenberger is super sweet. She really tries to make sure her students understand the content of her lectures, and she gives a bunch of practice worksheets to her students so they can practice before the test. She goes off script from her powerpoints a lot to include extra helpful information, so make sure you're actually listening to her.

I had her over the summer and she was amazing! Always stayed 2 hours after class and did extra questions anyone had. Tests are hard but go to office hours because she will make sure you get the concept down! Never got annoyed with questions and is absolutely hilarious. She is also extremely encouraging and caring

Take her for chem1212 or anything, best chem professor at UGA

Literally the sweetest human alive. She was so funny and engaging during the lectures. She's also willing to help her students with absolutely anything, even non-school related stuff. She is so knowledgable too and does her best to help students understand the content. UGA chem is going to suck no matter what, but dr. e helped so much

Dr. E is probably your best bet for CHEM1212. She's caring and definitely knows what she's talking about, as well as always willing to meet to talk about the material. The chem department at UGA isn't great, but she makes it much more bearable and I'd take her class again.

Overall a great teacher. As head of the Chemistry department she had the power to change policies to help her students out.

dr. ellenberger was very nice and helpful. she is very pleasant and easy to talk to. she makes the tests and is always willing to help during office hours. she is funny and makes chemistry enjoyable.

Dr. Ellenberger is the best chemistry prof I've had at UGA. She's the department head for gen chem, so she writes all the exams, which is super super helpful. She's very helpful if you go to her office hours and ask questions, and genuinely wants you to succeed! Definitely take her for any chem class!

Dr. Ellenberger was a very good professor. She explains the information very clearly and makes sure all her students understand the content. She is sometimes slow in lectures, but that is okay since she makes the tests herself for the CHEM1312H and CHEM1212 tests. Take her! You won't regret it!

I loved Dr. Ellenberger. She was amazing to take over the summer, and I would definitely recommend her over any other chem 1212 professor at UGA. Exams were hard but the material on exams reflected what was covered in class.

Dr. Ellenberger was one of the best professors I've had so far at UGA. A lot of people complain about how many clicker questions she does but I felt like actually doing practice problems made me learn the material better than just looking at slides.

Dr. Ellenberger was hilarious, and although she taught slow-paced, she's the one who writes the tests so she sometimes gives you general information about a certain problem on the test. She is also very attentive, I would recommend going to her office hours, she is very helpful one on one.

Chem 1212 is a difficult class but Dr. Ellenberger did an excellent job at covering material at a good pace and ensuring the class understood. I felt well prepped for tests. Office hours were also very helpful. Annotated lectures posted but there are class participation graded questions

Ellenberger's CHEM1212 is a tough class, but worth taking if you want the best shot at a high grade. Her lectures can be slow, but she gives helpful hints for the exams. Unstuck ai was a game-changer for my study prep.

Dr. Ellenberger is such a sweet professor. She does her best to make sure students understand the material and does lots of practice problems in class. She gives tips and tricks on how to approach the test and certain problems. She is a teeny bit slow with lecture so make sure to keep up outside of class. I would HIGHLY recommend to take her!

Ellenberger was a very sweet person. My only complaint is she might go a bit slow compared to the other chem classes. It is a chem class so ofc there is a lot of work but she tried to make it as easy as possible for her students.

Her lectures are great. There is a good balance between her actually talking and her giving practice problems. She is also very approachable, and her office hours help a lot.
