Prof Luersen is so helpful and truly cares about all her students. She makes chem entertaining, and easy to learn. She is easily accessible outside of class, and has office hours constantly. While test grades make up the vast majority of your grade, she lays out all needed info in the study guides and really helps to prepare students for tests.

One of the best professors at QU! Really encourages students to work hard on exams and on examples in the text book. Doesn't just teach but helps you understand the materials that are used. Tests are just like study guides and if you do well on one of them she adds extra points to your last test. TAKE HER I LOVED HER!

Professor Luersen was one of the best professors I have ever encountered. She was always ready to help you understand different concepts. Lectures were work filled but always answered questions and made sure you understood. Exams are just like study guides and don't be afraid to go to her office hours. Best 8 am class I ever took!

The best professor ever!!!! Very sweet and caring and is always willing to help. She has her own workbook with all the slides in it and lets you have a cheat sheet periodic table for each test. Homework assignments are usually due a few weeks after assigned. 100% take her if you can she is an absolute angel.

Professor Luersen's lecture was the first time I ever understood chemistry in my life. Her slides are amazing and the way she teaches just sticks to you. She is always able to help, and is super nice. On top of that every test you get a cheat sheet so it made the class 10x better. Love her!

Luersen is amazing! Her lectures are super chill, all you do is take notes and some things are already pre-written in the workbook for you. Very accessible outside of class, responds to emails quickly + has multiple office hours. Easy exams too, what's on the practice exam is on the actual exam. Overall, she's nice and truly cares for her students

She is amazing! The labs were never the full 3 hours, and they were not too difficult. You have to do a pre-lab worksheet, which is pretty easy and a lab report every single week. Sh simple, and she allows you to email it to her prior to submission and gives feedback. The final was exactly like the study guide.

Professor Luersen is great, being very clear with all expectations and topics covered. If you have any trouble understanding don't be afraid to ask a question in class. If you are still having trouble, she is extremely available outside of class as well. With the cheat sheets allowed during tests, the class is very passable.

Fantastic. Posts lecture videos online that are extremely clear and tell you everything you need to know. Almost all assignments are graded by best attempt. Even if you go into this class not caring at all you will come out of it seriously versed in the topic and have interest in it.

Loved her! She is the best professor I have ever had. She is amazing at teaching the material needed for exams. She also allowed a cheat sheet for every exam, not that you really need it because she is a great educator. I always liked attending her class. I recommend sitting in the front if possible.
