Notes are all over... she doesn't know how to properly teach a class! The worst part is she isn't even nice one on one... Thinks she's smarter than you and makes stupid sassy comments. Avoid if possible

She is extremely bland and hard to follow as you get very bored throughout the lecture. Nice and clearly very smart lady, just not very good at teaching one of the harder first year courses for bsc.

Comment:

This course was much easier than CHEM*1040, but the prof was terrible. Almost fell asleep in most of the lectures because she paces through the hall and talks. This is very ineffective in this particular course, as it relies heavily on math and equations that must be manipulated. You're better off self-teaching the course to yourself.

Comment:

Lori Jones is a good professor and knows her stuff. The powerpoints are fill in the blanks/problems that she helps you solve, and also leaves extra practice problems for you to do yourself. Her lectures can be content heavy leaving you confused and sleepy, but this is just the nature of a chemistry course. Labs were better than in 1040.

Comment:

Lori was a fine prof for a first year course. She was not the coordinator and didn't write the exams but they were fair. She was a little boring in lecture and notes weren't the best but she did explain things well and was helpful when asked. Chem 1050 is a lot easier if you can pass 1040, which Lori often coordinates.

Comment:

The whole course is honestly a joke. Her notes don't match her slides, her voice puts you to sleep. I don't know what she's saying half the time and she's not helpful at all. Better off getting the filled in notes from a friend and learn it yourself.

Love the prof! Very respectful and nice tries to interact with class and give lots of examples useful for the exams. Dr. Jones lectures based on presentations so if it's not your style of learning so it would probably be boring to you.

Comment:

The best way to go through this course is by teaching it to yourself Dr. Jones has amazing notes but she is not that good teaching them, to be completely honest I failed the first midterm but it was because I was too dumb to ask her for help when I needed it, I had to completely focused on this course

Comment:

Her lectures are aweful. She structures her slideshow projected on the display different from the lecture notes so half the time you spend figuring out where the example is in your notes. She gives minimal examples in class, and when she lectures she gives drawn out confusing explanations. Having a monotone voice is just the icing on the sad cake:(

Honestly one of my favourite profs. She is extremely helpful and accessible outside of lectures. If you go to her office with a question, you will not leave that office until you understand it. Well organized lectures, the textbook also helps a lot. FInal was fair, midterm was a bloodbath though.

Comment:

A bad class with a bad prof. Found Lori to be condescending, but she is a very intelligent woman and had a lot of office hours. Unfortunately, similar to 1040, the course combined with the profs and course coordinators is designed to make you fail. I found 1050 easier than 1040 though.

Comment:

The lectures were very dry and boring. I am a chem major and even I couldn't bring myself to pay attention in her class. Her notes are well-written and the fill in the blank parts are obvious, so you don't really need to go to lecture.

Comment:

For a first year course, Prof Jones outlines exactly what you need to know for exams and labs. She is helpful when asked questions and wants to help you. I found it difficult at times to relate the lab material to lectures as we often were doing labs on topics we had not covered in class yet. Good prof, but I hope they can reformat CHEM1050 better.

Loved Lori Jones!!!!!!!! She is such an inspirational woman and I aspire to be just like her when i graduate from university! I loved how she spoke with a mono-tone voice during her lectures and strolled around while she was teaching. I highly recommend taking a Lori Jones Lecture at least once in your life it is so life changing!

Comment:

Jones is extremely boring, sorry! I can barely stay awake. I feel like I take away very little from her lectures, and can do well without going to class; her notes are barely any fill-in-blank and she reads off her slides most of the time. Doing masteringchem yourself and comparing with the notes (that she would read anyway) would help you.
