Comment:

She is truly an astounding individual. I would take her again. The class is hard, all orgo classes are. But I really understand the material and I know so many people who says she truly prepares you for health and science professions.

Outstanding professor and mentor. She dedicated her life to preparing her students for both chemistry and life. She definitely had tough love, but I wouldn't be as successful today without her.

Comment:

Avoid this professor like the plague. I took her "advanced" gen chem lab class (which was disbanded the year after I took it- not sure if they brought it back) and STARS. Totally unhelpful, was absent for most of class, her choice of TAs is questionable. An easy A, but definitely not worth the frustration or busy work she gives you.

Comment:

Most helpful advisor I have every met. She will ensure that you go places in this tough world. She gives you tough love: Learn to deal with it. She is the most candid person I have ever met, she won't supply you with any of the bull that other professors give. She is challenging and rewarding!

Comment:

Extremely inpatient, rude, although she will commit time after class for additional help and she says to ask questions, she makes you feel like a moron for asking a question. Just seems very unhappy like maybe teaching at a jc is beneath her since she was at Yale. I simply do not like her!!!

Not a great professor. She was disorganized and made us buy a book we NEVER used. She tries to be dedicated, but she really is not a lot of fun to learn under.

Comment:

extremely disorganized. very unhelpful. miserable,and wants you to be miserable. loses tests and lab reports. misses class/lab. doesn't clearly answer questions (that's if she even knows the answer). if you're a minority, she thinks she has the right to not treat you well. very unprofessional in every way. i strongly do not recommend her.

Comment:

VeRy HaRd...tets are ridiculously hard...you think you know the stuff in her class then the material on the test is 10x worse. Willing to help but it sometimes seems as if she'll only really help the people she favors. She does want you to succeed, though...
