Comment:

All of the below comments are true. She wastes so much class time making mistakes, and her work is illegible. Her tests are made up of ridiculous/unimportant material, and the stuff she stresses is barely on the test. She is obsessed with things her way and won't update her teachings to today's technology, bc as she says, 'shes old'

Comment:

AWFUL professor. Comes to class completely unprepared and makes constant mistakes on the board and has to start over multiple times to get anything right. there's often 5 minutes where she sits in the front of the class and stares at her note sheet, trying to figure out what the hell is going on. detriment to bucknell's teaching. AVOID

Comment:

Absolutely the worst professor I have ever had. Miserable person who enjoys seeing her students do poorly. Information not even taught encompasses the majority of her exams and she can rarely answer questions when asked. Never ever take her if you can avoid it!

Comment:

the recitations are her only strength, which doesn't come close to outweighing her rampant flaws. she's terrible at math, there's mistakes all over her answer sheets and in class when she does problems. the class is difficult and learning goals are unclear. the lecture is USELESS, be ready to teach yourself from the book.

Comment:

Awful awful teaching. Useless information becomes suddenly relevant for tests. She's simply getting back at the world and doing it through the teaching of general chemistry. I like the subject, but this class is an insult to the tuition money I pay for Bucknell.

Comment:

She is the absolute worst professor I have ever had. I love chem, yet I can find no redeeming features about this class. The teaching method is slow, vague and unhelpful. Tests are stupidly hard- things that are mentioned for 10 minutes of one lecture will make up 10% of a midterm test. She is terrible at explaining things outside of class.

Comment:

By far the worst prof I had this semester. Always seemed more interested in fulfilling her administrative duties and conducting research. More helpful in recitation, but otherwise seemed apathetic about teaching. Don't take her if you can help it.
