Comment:

Patell is one of my favorite professors at K-state. She realizes when students don't understand and will go over information at the pace of the student's ability, even in a classroom of 200 students. She gives great lectures and puts her notes online, which are easy to follow. Just go to class to learn concepts and you'll do great!

Comment:

Dr. Patell is the BEST teacher at K-State. I was incredibly nervous about taking Chemistry before this class, and now I'm pumped to be taking CHEM230 with her next semester. Do the worksheets and practices tests, and follow along with the notes and you will succeed with flying colors. She even rounded up my high B without asking after the final.

Incredible teacher. Attend lecture because she explains everything very well and it is harder to understand if you don't. If you do all of the practice work sheets she gives you and practice exams, you will do very well on the actual exams. Just attend lecture and pay attention and you will do fine in the class.

Comment:

I had already taken chemistry courses in high school, so the amount of material I learned in this class is minimal. That being said, her lectures are so clear and straight to the point that even someone who has never seen the periodic table before could do well. If you print off her chapter outlines and fill it out as she goes, you'll get an A.

Dr. Patell is a great chemistry professor especially for beginners. She explains the material at a level almost anyone can understand. There are many practice exams posted online which if you study those you can get an A or B on most exams. She is very willing to help and if you need to contact her she is accessible. Wednesdays are clicker quizzes.

Amazing lectures, gives you all you need to pass with a good grade. Despite the fact that its a big class, she would notice if your grade is improving and encourage you to do even better. Just study lecture notes then the worksheets, then the practice test and you should be able to do very well!

Patell is a great professor. She explains material very well so that everyone understands. Lectures are usually pretty long, but mostly bearable. Tests are exactly like the practice exams she gives out. Doing well on labs and lab exams is crucial for a good grade. As long as you go to class, pay attention, and put a little effort in, it's not bad

Comment:

I wish I would've had Patell for Chem 1. Chemistry isn't a strong area for me but she does a fantastic job of explaining things to people who don't have chem brains. She will stay after class to help you understand something which is AMAZING. She's a great professor. I suggest waiting to take Chem 2 with her.

Granted, chemistry is a tough subject, but Dr. Patell is helpful in any way possible to get you to pass. Utilize her office hours, and never skip a lecture.

Clearly explained expectations. Almost every exam question is demonstrated in class, in the study material, and on the practice exams. Nearly no reading necessary, Dr. Patell makes her slides available and completes notes/practice questions along with the class. No extra credit, but homework can be repeated for perfect scores.

Comment:

Patell is such a great instructor. Chemistry is a hard class, but she makes it completely understandable. I would highly recommend NOT missing any classes if you want an A, because her explanations of the subject matter is invaluable. Didn't really use the book, just print out the notes and bring to class.

Dr. Patell is great. Chem 210 is a rather difficult class, but manageable. She has clear notes and is good at teaching. You can get by with skipping a few lectures, but need to show up for clicker quizzes.
