Dr. Brown is a tough grader but you better be prepared to work your butt off. She offers a lot of her time to help her students and she has a nice sense of humor. If you are a lazy student do not take her.

Comment:

Dr. Brown seems like a good professor on the outside as she offers numerous hours of help to her students. However, her grading system holds no logic and her main goal of teaching is to deduct points rather than help a student actually learn the material. Understanding the material holds little value as she only cares if you put down what she wants

Comment:

Dr. Brown is great at teaching. However her organizational skills are lackluster at best. There is no logic to her grading as she grades on how she feels about you as a person. Beware when going to her office hours as you will get sucked into a 20 minute conversation about an irrelevant aspect of her life that you most likely dont care about.

Dr. Brown is an awesome lab professor. She will help you with any lab and she always helps you answer the lab questions. She gives a quiz at the beginning of every lab, but if you prepare for lab by reading you will be fine. She also explains lab procedures very clearly. Overall a great professor and very energetic!

I am so glad that I got Dr. Brown for Chem 121 Lab. Initially from what I heard from everyone was a hard ass and if you wanted an A they told me they shouldn't take her class. They were wrong . She's amazing and accessible all the time. Will push you to improve your mistakes and show you where you went wrong in calculations and in lab. TAKE HER!!!

Dr. Brown's chem 121 class is extremely difficult but she is an awesome professor nonetheless. The homework helps you learn the material and her office hours are very helpful. Although her exams are hard, she offers extra credit on almost all of them. I would definitely take her again

dr brown was the best professor i could ask for with the first chemistry course i took in college. while there is a lot of homework, she provided five or six office hours where you could come and ask questions. she provided a lot of study sessions for exams and really cared about how you were doing. i would take her again

Don't be fooled- Dr. Brown is a very difficult teacher. But her class is certainly manageable! You NEED to go to office hours, and don't start the homework late. But, if you do everything she says, you can get a good grade! There are three exams so don't write any of them off as easy even if you think you know the material. Good luck!

Very tough grader and gives you an excessive amount of homework. Her tests and quizzes are extremely hard, and half the class usually fails. You can do well in her class if you study and maybe get tutored on the side, but even doing that I didn't do well. Nice lady, but don't recommend taking her.

Awful. Worst Class Ever. If you want to pass chemistry, choose another professor. Expect a huge workload, confusing and long exams, and difficulty understanding the material. She bails on office hours and gives homework that will take you 6+ hours on a weekly basis. Material in lecture vs. Material on test: completely different stuff.

The hardest class I've ever taken, I've never wanted to drop a class more in my entire life. She over complicates everything and expects chemistry to be your whole life. Although she is passionate about what she does, she expects everyone to love chem as much as her, which is not my case. Avoid like the plague

I did not take her lecture but I had her for lab. She is the toughest grader that I have ever had as a teacher. She finds the tinniest little things and will mark off .25 points (probably just because you didn't date your paper). That's how hard she grades. She frequently cancelled her office hours and she barely ever responded to emails.

I have never been so happy to get a B in a class. Take this course if you are not afraid to work hard for your grade. Exams are really long, so do the workout problems first. She is a hard grader, but always puts time aside to help. Complete her practice exams that she posts. Do well in lab to boost your final grade! START THE HOMEWORK EARLY!

Expect 15-30 pgs of written homework a week, as well as multiple online assignments which take anywhere from 30 min-1.5 hrs Doesn't explain material well, and words questions to try and trick students. Expect to teach yourself the material if you want to pass. Lectures are a waste of time and make material more confusing.

There is a lot of unnecessary bad talk about Dr Brown. She wants her students to be successful and works really hard to do that. She has a ton of office hours and will always help. She makes her class difficult and assigns a fair amount of homework to make sure students understand. When it comes time for the final you will be glad you took Dr Brown

Dr. Brown wants you to succeed she is just an intense professor. She is a very tough grader and her tests are difficult. She has office hours and is on campus a lot so it is easy to get help. Don't bother asking for extra credit/extensions. Do the work and ask for help and you will most likely pass the class. Put in the time and you will succeed.

She does give a lot of homework but you'll be thankful for it because it helps to understand the material better. She's there to assist you through her group office hours that she makes, take your homework there. She creates time if you need it, there are SI sessions and other office hours for other teachers. She's dedicated to helping her students

Was very clear and precise from the start that her class is more difficult than other teachers because she forces you to understand the reactions and equations rather than just memorizing them to pass. Her exams are very long but if you did the homework and went to her office hours for help than you should be able to manage a B on them. Great Class
