Comment:
Great lab professor. Goes over everything so the lab is clear if you didn't catch everything from reading it over. Only cons were that it was from 6 to 9 and we wrote a bunch of reports...but I feel that kind of helps in the long run.

Comment:
Chemistry is not cool. BUT with Prof. Cessna, I actually understood what was going on during her brief lectures before lab. She is really helpful. One of the most helpful lab instructors that I have had yet. She is willing to help you out if you go to lab early, and is a very easy grader if you put for the effort. You'll get a B at least if you try

She does neat science experiments and is an interesting lecturer. Grades are based on in-class assignments, homework, and test. Tests are straight from objective sheet.

Comment:
This class is def not an easy A. The in-class assignments and weekly article summaries become annoying and are the reason you can't miss class. She's a nice lady, but tests are extremely hard and include the smallest things. Worked hard for a low C.

Very nice lady. Class is pretty difficult, but could be a lot worse. Writing assignments are annoying, but the class is definitly manageable and isn't that boring.

Straight forward notes on powerpoint. Tests are extremely hard, almost impossible to get an A. Must come to class everyday for in class assignments, and one paper due every week and a half. No other homework. Do not take this class, too difficult.

This class is a typical Gen-ed. It is something that is boring if you aren't into it. Gretchen is very fair and cares about her students. Be ready for work and study, she actually treats it like a college course.

I was always bad at science, and sure enough, I got a C in this class. But I worked hard and, I know it sounds funny, but I feel pretty good about that. The class is interesting; there's 'real - life' kind of stuff in it.

Way too hard and on random topics...too many notes. Tests are impossible, even if you go to class, read, and study. Not a good class, we don't like Cessy.

wow... can we say lost? I have never seen anyone get sooo excited about huts and clay pots in Africa. I can appreciate her sense of style , but, I would like to UNDERSTAND why I was struggling to understand what was going on in my Gen Ed Science clas
