Dr. O is a very motivated teacher. She tries to get everyone to understand everything before moving on, and is willing to help outside of class. She posts the notes online, but going to class is recommended. She does in class quizzes to helps grades and curves when necessary. Great teacher!
Excellent teacher. Very patient and helpful. YOu have quizzes, and she curves when necessary. You'd have to actually attempt to fail on your own, passing this class is not a problem.
She is the best teacher...I loved her. She was very helpful! She does her best to make you understand. Take her if you can!!!
She is a good teacher, and I beleive she will only get better. The work load is not hard, and she grades her tests fairly. If you are taking Ochem take her. I have Welch for Ochem2 and it is not working out as good.
She was a great teacher who tested only from her notes (textbook not required, but she does give you suggested problems if you do buy the book)Tests were straightforward, not easy but if you studied then you understood. She was very flexible and worked hard to help you understand the material. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her.
Explains things well...tells you what will be on her tests and what to expect...always willing to help if you have questions...
Very good teacher, I would take her class again
Good teacher, very helpful if you show your serious. She tests completely on her notes and she won't make you learn all the reaction mechanisms, which was a plus. I had some concern that some of the material not covered would be necessary in 3342 but there wasn't much left out. Study and you'll do fine.
I love her! she is willing to help an will repeat something for you a 100 times if u need it, she cuts out all the bs u dont wanna know and probably dont need and is a great teacher.She is very fair, and cares about your grade.
Definitely get in her class! She is very helpful and a fantastic teacher!
TAKE THIS CLASS. Dr. O is extremely helpful. She answers every single question even if it is a dumb question. She is very smart and knows the material and is all about helping you make a good grade if you are willing to work a little. Powerpoint notes and tests are semi hard, but she curves alot and gives plenty of extra credit.
VERY GOOD TEACHER. She answers all of your questions and moves at an easy to follow pace. She is very laid back and she knows exactly what she is talking about. Her tests are kind of hard at times, but she curves alot and she gives a bunch of extra credit opportunities. Take her class for sure.
GREAT TEACHER! She makes the tests fairly easy, just go to class and do the homework. She gives LOADS of extra credit and it helps your test grades tremendously. Her extra credit can make a C go to an A.
BEST PROFESSOR THAT GSU HAS
Dr. Osborne was a great teacher. I hate chemisty and I am horrible at it and I pulled a B in the class. She will do whatever it takes to help you succeed in the class. She wants her students to understand the material and make the best grade possible.
Dr. Osborne was an amazing professor!!! She is probably the best professor at GSU. She cares so much about her students and REALLY knows the material. Ask for help, and she will help you until you completely understand it. I loved her class, and highly recommend her for anyone that's going to take her!
The best science teacher I have had since high school . I am not the best at an science but she is the best teacher at Southern hands down . She provides you with help and study guides and the homework is manageable and so are the quizzes. Extra credit given on each test AND THE FINAL . Take her because she is very helpful . Put effort in : ))
I Loved her. She was straight forward very willing to assist and a very nice lady. Tests are straight off notes that you can print out. Easy enough...
Professor Osborne was amazing she gives a ton of extra credit which can really make or break some of your exams. Ended up with an A on the final purely because of extra credit. She is easy to talk to and very willing to help you, but I wouldn't recommend asking for help at the last second.
Dr. O is an amazing teacher! She was very helpful and explained everything very clearly. She gave a ton of extra credit opportunities which really help your grade. While all her lectures are online going to class helps you understand everything much better. She will help you get the best grade possible. I am bad at chemistry and got an A.
Best teacher Yet! she is still teaching just not Bio and Org Chem. So sad For YOU! So clear and more than willing to help. Will give pop quiz so you wanna be there. Just listen and you'll be fine!
Dr O is great. She is so real. I have a B in the class so far, but Im trying to make an A. She helps out anyone and she can basically teach Chemistry to a dummy. She does not take attendance for her class, only for the lab. She gives extra credit on every test. If everyone does bad on a test or quiz she'll change the grading scale.She is great! :)
Dr.Osborne has been my best professor yet. Extremely helpful. She will basically reteach and give more info in office hours. This course is relatively easy if you study. Notes are put online for every lecture. Lab is easy to get a 100 in. Extra credit is available for every test.
TAKE HER!! she is a great professor. She helps the students out a lot by giving out extra credit. Also classes aren't mandatory, but if you should up every once in a while, you should at least get a B in the class. I REALLY RECOMMEND HER!
Dr. Osborne is an AMAZING professor! She teaches very well and I definitely recommend her. She gives out 10 EC points for every test and 20 for the final. Replaces lowest test trade with your final test (if higher). Attendance for lab is counted though. She posts grades the same day as you take them. I made a 94 in her class!!
Dr. O is AMAZING. She gives a ton of extra credit & is super helpful. The labs are mandatory. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!
She is a great teacher. I hated chemistry in high school and started this class thinking i would be lucky to get a C but i ended up getting a 98! she gives out a ton of extra credit and rewards those who show up to class. she really knows how to explain chemistry and i learned more than i expected to. if you have the chance you should take her!
Dr. Osborne is a great professor! I'm not a chem fan so class was pretty boring for me, but she's very clear and very willing to help make sure everyone understands the material. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but for me it helped a lot. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT & go to her after class or during office hours for help when needed. I highly recommend her.
Osborne was a GREAT professor! Attendance was not mandatory but the only way to really grasp the material was by going to class. do ALL of her extra credit because it'll REALLY help your grade, i ended up making a 98 on her final due to 20 points extra credit. she's very helpful but doesn't like when people wait til the last minute. TAKE HER!
Professor Osborne is AMAZING! She really helps the students, and she explains everything until it is as clear as glass wiped clean with windex. Chemistry is a hard subject, which makes her all the better. Definitely recommend her. She gives tons of extra credit, and attendance is optional (though definitely recommended). Whatever you do, take her!!
She's the bomb!!!! She's so freaking helpful! Attendance is not mandatory. I got an A!
Dr. O is the BEST! I seriously do not think i would be passing this class with any other professor. The material is hard and attendance is not required, however I highly recommend it. She is very helpful and great at explaining things. Don't even think about it just TAKE HER!!
Dr. O is AWESOME. She's such a great professor. She is extremely helpful and I feel like I actually learn stuff in her class. Attendance isn't mandatory but I recommend going. She explains things very well and if you don't understand, she'll go over it however many times you need it. I actually look forward to going to class. TAKE HER!
Dr.Osborne is by far the best professor i have ever had. She gives extra credit on tests and final which helps a LOT. i got a 97 in her class she is very helpful and knows what she's talking about. attendance for class is required but you should definitely go she will answer any and every question until you fully understand she's AWESOME!
Absolutely loved Dr. O! Makes things very clear. Ended up with a 98. Attendance isn't mandatory but it makes a difference. Definitely take her!!
AWESOME professor. Some of the material is hard, but she makes it easy to understand. Gives a lot of extra credit and is always willing to help when needed. I definitely recommend her.
She's really nice and the best chem professor at GSU. The material's a little dull/hard (in 1152) but Dr. Osborne is helpful...it's just that the lectures are BORING but you will definitely get an A if you just study and try. You dont need to get the textbook cause everything's in her powerpoints
Sweetest professor you will ever take. She offers a lot of bonus on the tests. The final was cumulative, but she gave us an opportunity for 20 points extra credit. Also, she dropped lowest lab grade and lowest test grade. TAKING HER IS A MUST!
LOVE HER! I highly recommend her! Super helpful and understanding. Made her PowerPoints easy to understand.
Dr. Osborne is an awesome professor! The material is hard but she makes it easy to understand! She offers a good bit of extra credit! She is truly the best!!
Dr. Osborne is the sweetest! She is a wonderful teacher - she knows what she is talking about for sure. Do the work, GO TO CLASS and you will be fine! I Highly suggest her!
Dr. Osborne is the best professor! She explains the material so well and gives ample extra credit. She is extremely sweet and helpful. I strongly recommend taking her class!!
Great professor. Tests are not difficult if you attend class, and she gives a lot of extra credit. Highly recommend her. If you are decent at chem, it's an easy A.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! she is the best chem professor for 1152. she makes the material very easy to understand. she give A LOT of extra credit points. she is EXTREMELY fair and not intimidating at all. you definitely want to go to class because the material is not easy but she dumbs it down well. DEFINITELY TAKE HER!!!!!
Dr Osborne was one of my favorite professors this semester! I have never been very good at chemistry, but she dumbed everything down to my level. The tests were a piece of cake. EASY A!! (as long as you attend class lectures) She was also always willing to help! LOVE LOVE LOVE her! Definitely would recommend to take her. :)
easiest teacher I have ever taken! Her lectures were easy to understand, she broke things down so people who are clueless can understand it. Got a C in chem 1151 and got an A in her course!! YOU MUST TAKE! Love her! she is so sweet, helpful, and is by far the best teacher iv ever had in my life!!!!
Dr. O was very helpful. All the tests reflected her lectures and power-points, which she posts online. Very understanding and such a sweet lady. Take her!
I took Dr. O for both Chem 1151 and 1152. She is by far the best Chem professor, in my opinion, on campus. Absolutely loved her. Such a sweet and understanding lady.
Dr. Osborne is the best! Her lectures are easy and she breaks everything down to help you understand. Her power points are online so print them out they will help a lot. Her tests are so easy and very fair. If you want an A take her!!!
Dr. Oz was awesome. Her lectures were clear and easy to follow due in part to the fact that she posts lecture notes the day before class. She answers any and all questions asked during lecture and she will explain a concept as many times as necessary until you understand it. She offers SO much extra credit and easy points to boost grades.
Dr. Oz is a wonderful professor, my favorite actually. If you go to class (especially on quiz day), attend SI, do all of your homework, and attend lab, you will do well. Attending class is optional, but if you want an A or B, attend. If you study for the tests, you should do well. I missed a homework assignment and failed a test.. still made a B.
I love Dr. Osborne ! BEST PROFESSOR at GSU. lectures are the test, if you get 1 wrng that she bragged about she will give you a pop quiz next class. I'm taking her online course for the summer term. Helpful, only 3 test but you have to pass or you will fail. Participation matters just because she will probably give you extra credit but I LOVE HER.
Great professor! Really wants you to learn the materiel and is always helpful if you have questions. Tests are straight from the lecture, never bought the book. Some simple in class pop quizzes by clicker and online homework for each unit. Easy A as long as you put in the effort and take the time to study.
Dr. Osborne is the best Professor at Georgia Southern. Chemistry 2 was one of the hardest courses that I've taken here, but Dr. Osborne is there to help when you need it. This course is difficult, but she is the only professor worth taking with it. She also gives plenty of opportunities to boost your grade. Dr. Osborne is AMAZING.
She is super nice and a wonderful professor! She also really bonds with her class which is a nice change to what we are used to.
Amazing teacher who really wants you to learn. You will work for what you want but if you work and pay attnetion you will pass her class. Very sweet and funny. She cares about her students
She started the semester going through lectures very slowly, but got behind and had to rush through the second half of the semester. She blamed this on the class and got very angry about it. Also, the points stressed on homework generally are not reflected on the tests.
She is an incredible and hilarious professor! Chemistry is not my strong suit, but tests are very straight forward and cover exactly what she covers in class. She gives you study guides and extra credit opportunities. Print out notes and go to class, and you'll get an A. She even replaces your lowest test with your final exam grade if it's higher!
Lordy, she is the best of the best as far as Chemistry professors on campus. Finishing up online and we had a Module due every week ( Discussion, Quiz, & Lab or Worksheet). Overall, everything was explained well and if you needed helps she was there for you. I struggled to keep an A in 1151 but with her, long as you put in effort it's not hard!
Love her! Although I didn't pass the class I will take her again. The class is only hard if you don't study and go to the tutoring classes her TA offer. Her notes are great and lab is great if you have good partners. Study and ask questions!
It's chemistry so of course it sucks, but she's such an awesome professor. She actually makes lectures worth coming to. She makes sure everyone understands the material before moving on to next chapters. She also enjoys making relationships with her students and offers extra credit and tutoring sessions. Highly recommended
BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Went into Chem not knowing what to expect but she is by far the most reasonable, fair, and understanding teacher I've had. She is probably the only professor ever who will it get behind in schedule just to make sure that all your questions are answered. Shes also very available for office hours and will break things down.
Online Chem sounds scary but was completely doable with her. I had her for lecture before this and she was amazing during her office hours she'll lecture you gladly so your never really all on your own shes extremely helpful and is willng to work with you as long as you put in effort. She is the Best.
I had to retake this class and I was so glad that I took Dr. Osborne. She is quick to respond to emails, has a good sense of humor to keep lectures interesting, and does many examples for the material in lecture.
Dr. Osborne is the best! She is so sweet, caring, and hilarious! Her tests are very fair, and they mirror what she teaches in lecture. She wants you to do well in her class, so she will answer any question and will return to something if you didn't understand it. She also gives a lot of extra credit! She genuinely cares about all of her students!
I took her online and heard great reviews but I felt like she graded very harshly online. She is ALWAYS willing to help via email but some of her online lectures didn't really correspond to the quizzes and the labs were tedious. She gives you some basic information and then the tests and quizzes are VERY specific. I recommend taking it in person.
I had to teach myself somethings but she definetly is a good teacher. She will answer any question no matter how stupid, she gets that its a hard class and gives lots of time to ask questions. id take her again
She is brilliant, caring, fair & all around a great person & professor. She is willing to help you as much as possible if you put in the effort. She makes chemistry easy to understand, & if you are having trouble understanding, she will take as much time to help you. She is by far one of the greatest, if not the greatest professor, I've ever had.
I love Mrs. Osborne! She knows the material up and down and will always help you. She's funny too, but don't disrespect her! I had her for 1151 and am taking her again for 1152 OL soon, and I'm not even nervous because I know she is willing to help anytime I need her.
She is a really informative professor, and she's very willing to answer questions. Her lectures are very detailed as well. However, her final was extremely specific, and over half of the course material wasn't on it. I took her in person.
I took her chem 1152 class online and it was way easier than I expected. Her online lectures are extremely detailed and helpful. There isn't too much work for each week and the labs are pretty self explanatory. I would take her again, even if it was an online class.
Professor Osborne is the best professor I've ever had. I've never understood chemistry until I had her. She is extremely good at explaining the material and she constantly reinforces everything. There are extra credit opportunities before ever test and if she sees that you are trying and you don't like your grade she will help you. Great teacher!!
Professor Osborne is probably the best professor I have ever had. She cares bout her students and gives the best descriptions to help her students understand the concept. I was apprehensive when I got signed up with an online class with her, but its essentially exactly the same as a lecture course. She replies to emails promptly too!
I took her 1152 course fully online. The lecture notes are general, while the quizzes and test are very specific. She assigns worksheets that are really difficult, and the lecture notes do not help with the worksheet enough. She's willing to help if you email her to ask questions though.
Dr. O is by far the best professor I have ever had! I had her for both 1151 and 1152, and she's so consistent in her teaching. She cares so much about the students and will help in any way possible. She's so personable and easy to talk to. She knows Chemistry like the back of her hand, and knows exactly how to explain it so everyone understands.
Dr. Osborne is the most amazing professor at GSU. If you try and put forth effort, you'll get an A. Chemistry has never been my strong suit, and she made it happen.
Osborne is the greatest! She gives clear expectations and gives you a study guide before each exam. Exams are pretty simple if you study the guide. Homework/quizzes are an easy A. She is always willing to take time to answer any questions that you have. Take her!!
Great teacher! I was horrible at chemistry in high school and did great in this class. Attendance is not mandatory but go because she goes through the notes and gives examples. She also notices when people are there or not. She's very funny and makes lecture fun.
Having Dr. Osborne was so enjoyable. She made me enjoy chemistry and I never thought that would be possible. I had her for lecture and lab and I loved that she was personable and got to know everyones name. She always joked around in class, and I always felt comfortable asking any questions. She is so intelligent and if you get her, you're so lucky
She is awesome!!! There is a lot of homework, but it helps you for the test and most of the time she uses it for extra credit on the tests. First 2 tests are in class, 3rd is take home and then the final. She gives so much extra credit for the final because it is so hard, so you end up doing well. She will help you with anything!! TAKE HER!!!
Theres a reason this wonderful lady was made teacher of the year in 2018. Shes one of the few professors who really gets to know her students and made chemistry really cool and enjoyable. She notices the slackers tho so keep that in mind if you think you can slide through her class. Overall, great professor!
Dr. Osborne is too legit! Two tests that aren't insane, but enough to force your effort followed up with a take home exam. If you fail this class, you're lazy and dumb.
The material is hard but she makes this class really easy. You have to be extremely lazy and never show up to fail. Attendance isn't mandatory but shes super observant and notices and you'll know she knows by your quiz grades and final grades. To get an A study,do the homework,show up, and talk to her so shes familiar with you. MAKE YOURSELF KNOWN!
DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE. Told us not to buy the book bc everything would come from lectures, but that is FALSE. Everything's from a test bank. Great if you're ok with cheating, I guess. I go through all the lectures and take notes and I'm still STRUGGLING. Usually an A student, have a C currently. She's very nice but I hate this class.
Dr. Osborne is AMAZING. Hands down the best professor I have ever had at GSU. Chem isn't easy but she really knows what she is talking about and makes it so much easier. She is a great teacher but also just a really good person. She takes the time to get to know everyone and takes into account your participation when giving final grades.
Dr. Osborne is an excellent chemistry teacher. Chemistry can be a very difficult subject, but Dr. Osborne does a great job breaking down difficult concepts. The labs and course are much more involved than the first chemistry class, but Dr. Osborne is there to help you all the way through. I would highly recommend taking her!
Dr. Osborne is the best professor I have ever had! She has great lectures and she is always available to help. She is constantly asking for class feedback so she can make future changes and she always listens to her students. She is a great professor and her class is a great class to be in.
Took her class over summer semester. She is a great teacher! She really cares about her students, and does everything she can to make sure they are getting the help that they need. I used the textbook for the first few weeks, but after that I stopped because her material was all I needed to learn. If you can, definitely take her class!
I wish I could take Dr. Osborne for every course. She really is great.
Dr. O makes chemistry seem so easy. She actually cares about her students and you can tell by the way she teaches. She gives extra credit opportunities and is very understanding. I wish I could take her for every class. She is the best professor I have had at this school. I definitely recommend taking her. She is the best!
She was literally amazing. I wish she was my chem lecture teacher as well. She explains everything so well and makes sure you are doing well in the class. I would love to take her class again. She answers back on emails in a timely manner as well :)))
She is very sweet and cares for all of her students. She gives extra credit opportunities for each test. The only bad thing I have to say about her is that she teaches at a fast pace and it can be difficult to keep up. But other than that, she is the best chemistry professor at GSU!
Dr. Osborne probably has to be one of my favorite professors! She cares about her students and always offered extra credit before exams! She has great lectures and is always willing to help answers questions! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs to take Chem1152.
Professor Osborne is the best. Took her class for fall 2021 semester CHEM 1152. Her lectures are well explained. If you can, definitely take her class!��
Dr.Osborne is really amazing. Class may be a little hard if you don't do your work but overall she explains it very well. Very understanding and responds to emails frequently!
Dr. Osborne is the best! She is very clear on assignments and due dates. Some of the work is difficult but her lectures help out a ton! She is very quick to respond to emails and help in any way. Definitely recommend!
Dr. Osborne is the best! I struggled a lot in high school chemistry but I have truly learned so much in this class. Some of the material is difficult but the homework really helps you to learn the material better. Attendance was not mandatory but we did have pop quizzes on I-Clicker that you had to be in class to take.
I took Dr. Osborne for Chem 1151 and 1152; she is AMAZING. I could not recommend her more! She has by far been my favorite professor yet because she genuinely cares about her students and their grades. She holds weekly help sessions if you need extra help outside of class. However, you do have to put in the work for your grade.
Dr.Osborne was an amazing professor I took CHEM 1211k and she was great. Attendance is not mandatory yet I went to every single class, she offers lots of extra credit. She is very flexible with meeting outside of her office hours as well. Her teaching is great I understood every lesson.
Dr. Osborne is a great professor! Her expectations are clear and simple. You typically have homework, a lab, and quiz each week. They are time consuming, but for the most part easy. If you manage your time in completing the assignments you will do well!
Very good easy going professor.
She was a great professor! If you go to class (not mandatory) and pay attention + study, you should do just fine. I spent a good amount of time studying but she gives so much extra credit. On every test, I got nothing lower than a 90 after extra credit. On the Final, I did pretty bad and got a 52 but after extra credit, I got an 80!
Dr. Osborne is an amazing professor who genuinely cares about her students. Her lectures are super helpful, and she offers extra credit and support sessions. unstuck ai was a lifesaver for studying and prepping.
If there's one thing I can offer, it's to GO TO CLASS. I had an A all year long until the final exam (cumulative). I failed it miserably, but she curved it a lot so I was able to end with a B+. I missed 2 classes, and there was a pop quiz in both of those classes. I would have gotten an A. Don't be afraid to ask questions. She was awesome!
There are a lot of office hours for you to learn and develop within Chem. I would say even for a lab class the work was as expected. She really cares for your success and she will be there to help you through it. While I am not a chem major it was really awesome to take this class. I learned a lot more than other classes and she is an awesome prof.
Chemistry is tough and exhausting, but Dr. Osborne was a very supportive professor. She explains concepts very well and her study guide is very helpful, if you play your cards right you can pass easily with a high grade even if you bomb the final. The online labs were fun, and there really wasn't that much work to do, just a bunch of studying!
