She teaches in a way that makes org 2 understandable. 1010. Her kids are adorable. I hope she keeps teaching, because the other org profs are absolute trash.

Comment:

Great professor! She really has a passion for what she teaches and she teaches it well. Just when the hour-and-a-half lectures start to get long, she takes a break from testable material with a "Science Capsule," which consists of her sharing something in any science that she finds interesting. I cannot imagine a better professor for this course!

Comment:

Decent teacher, very passionate about her topic. She wants her students to succeed and helps out a lot by providing us with a lot of practice problems and other additional resources on MyCourses. The tests are pretty tough and sometimes there are discrepancies between what she taught us and what is considered correct on the exam (practice is key).

Her way of teaching was very clear and example based. So much better than any of the professors in Org 1. This class felt easier than Org 1 thanks to her. I hope she keeps teaching for the sake of future students!

Comment:

I absolutely love this woman. She is so kind and caring - like a prof who suddenly becomes your motherly figure. Her midterms were very doable if you did the practice ones - but for the final you really need to give yourself a couple weeks to go through everything. It was way harder than the midterms. KEY TO SUCCESS: ace the midterms!!

Professor Auclair is one of the BEST profs ever. She's so organized, her notes are crystal clear, and she provides past exams and midterms to practice. Take her class, you will not regret it!

Comment:

She is definitely one of the most caring profs you will ever meet. She genuinely cares about her students and will do anything to help them out! Opens up additional office hours for those that need it. Lectures are crystal clear. Synthesis problems on the final can be somewhat tough, but overall not very difficult to get an A!

Comment:

Most organized prof I've seen so far. Extremely clear and writes awesome lecture notes. Very good at making things black and white for the exam, leaves no grey area. She gives a nice break in class with a science capsule. Clearly cares and is very willing to help. Extremely fair midterms, exam was more challenging.

Exam difficulty is imbalanced. Hard final exam, easy midterms.Organized prof for sure. Lazy to make new questions and picks from last year exams. GOOD: way she teaches BAD: way she evaluates

Comment:

The 80+ class average in the midterms reflect how incredible this prof is.The class takes place awfully early i did mind getting up because you would not want to miss an interesting lecture. She won't bore you and she takes a little break to go off topic and talk about factual stuff. Great looks too!

As someone who took Organic 1 in CEGEP and waited til 1 year later to take Organic 2 I was totally dreading this course... but it was actually a great class! She is an amazing prof who really wants you to do well and is extremely clear! So cute too!

Possibly my favorite prof at McGill, I can't imagine anyone who could make such awful material more interesting. It will be a sad, sad day when she stops teaching this class.

Fantastic prof, one of the few who truly cares about the students' learning and interest. She is very clear when going through reactions, and gives loads of practice questions, which are similar to those on the exam. Very helpful when answering students' questions. Great prof, great course!

Absolutely phenomenal professor. I was dreading taking organic chemistry 2, but after her course, I came to really enjoy it, largely thanks to Prof. Auclair. Im now taking organic 3 for interest! :D
