Comment:

Had a A+ through out the whole semester and come final time and tank and end the class with a B+. The final was extremely difficult and unrelated to the contact given in lab. Absolutely awful and unsympathetic towards students. Class average for the final was a 64 and no curve. What kind of professor wants students to fail that bad?

She was really great this semester! Took it in the summer and was great the ACS final sucks with who you have as a teacher but she gives practice problems. There test include multiple choice and all the questions are in a publisher testbank which you could buy for $30. ACS study guide you can find online for free.

Comment:

She is very intelligent and gives great lectures. She gives a lot of resources for you to succeed in her class. She has a condescending tone, however, but if you can get past that she's fine. The ACS will suck no matter which professor you have, but at least she gives you a study guide.

Comment:

This is a very organized and relevant lab that actually lines up with orgo 2 lecture. The labs are also on topics that have already been discussed in lecture which is usually not the case in other science classes. The lab exams are fair and Zibuck did a great job organizing this course.

Comment:

Zibuck is intense but she cares. She is the best prof I have had at Wayne by far. Orgo is hard in nature but if you practice every day for 30 minutes it will go a long way. She is very fair but you must earn your grade. She teaches to the ACS exam which is awesome. She only teaches orgo 2 in the summer and I would not have taken it with anyone else

I loved her class. She gives so much problems to prepare you for exam, she has a lot of resources to ensure success. Listen to her echos again at home, and you will pass.

Comment:

Regina Zibuck made this class far more difficult than it needed to be. Some of the content in her exams were straightforward--others we had barely discussed. She can be very intimidating to ask help from, and this only makes things that much harder. We do have quizzes and homework, but they're a drop in the bucket compared to the exam points.

I took her online class and it was very easy. I never listened to her lectures but read the chapters and looked at her online notes. I hear she is a TOUGH grader for other chem classes, but her online class is easy. Regina knows her stuff and will help if you need it. I emailed her once though and she never responded. Do your work ahead of time.

Favorite prof at Wayne. She is the easiest prof for orgo and a really great teacher if you want to actually learn orgo. This is a hard class and if you dont put the effort in you will not do well. Exams are fair but there is no partial credit so it is easy to do poorly. There are a lot of extra points on exams and sometimes when you go to class.

Amazing lecturer, she made me love chemistry. Her exams are very fair ( a little easy if you ask me), but she is a tough grader.

I love Dr. Zibuck. She is a great lecturer and she explains everything in depth. The only down side i experienced was her grading. She is so tough and does not like to give partial credit. But if you want to learn orgo, take her.

Comment:

This class is hard by nature, it organic chemistry its not going to be easy with any professor. However, Dr. Zibuck could teach chemistry to a wall, she goes at a very doable pace and is always willing to slow down when asked. She always warned when chapter would be hard so we knew to really buckle down. Taking her for orgo 2 without a doubt!

Very good professor, but her attitude and exams will ruin your experience of organic chemistry. take the course with a different professor if possible.

Dr Zibuck is absolutely amazing! She releases all of her past exams and gives a lot of extra credit. She is very to the point with her lectures and doesn't give any surprises or curveballs. This class isn't easy considering its orgo 2, but she definitely prepares for the ACS exam and beyond.

Comment:

She's ok, its obvious she uses materials from past years for instructions so it gets confusing because you don't always use all of what is posted on blackboard. It's irritating navigating the excessive content from old sections to find needed material. So much extra credit. Must go to labs to get points. Not much instruction in lab.
