Comment:

Dr. Trick is a very sweet lady and she genuinely cares about her students. Her class is definitely lecture heavy but she explains topics very thoroughly and answers questions completely. She really wants you to know the material and understand it all the way. You have to put in work but she tells you exactly what you need to do to succeed.

Dr trick is very nice she really likes to see you try your hardest and will help you all you need when you go to office hours. She does give homework on owl which requires reading. it takes about 2 hours to finish it all and be concise with it. do the review questions because those are on the quizzes that you take on friday afternoon.

She's great! I currently have an A in her course and let me tell you haha I didn't think that would happen. THE BEST chemistry professor at Dayton- she's really clear and concise! I love her! She made me love chemistry again! TAKE HER IF YOU WANT AN A IN CHEMISTRY! Don't listen to the negative reviews- they come from lazy people.

Never hops off her high horse. Very condescending and will make you feel small and will insult you. Does not help at all outside of class. DO NOT TAKE unless you want to be disrespected and be unsuccessful.

HORRIBLE teacher. She is so mean, I got an A in the class thanks to me sitting in on other teacher's lectures. I can't believe they still have her as the assistant dean & a professor cuz she needs to enroll herself with a degree about leaning how to respect and encourage her students without being a selfish b word. Never again folks.

Great Teacher! Expects a lot from her students. She tells you exactly how to pass her class. You have to do all the work. Sometime you can not read and just study the powerpoints. But it really isn't worth it. You have Clicker questions often. And test are hard to pass if you dont know what you are doing. Best bet, make a study group. Great teacher

Comment:

Dr. Trick as a professor is not bad. She makes you read basically the whole book, and at the end, this make your learn. However, don't ask her for flexibility. She is totally careless if you have other things going on. She posts a quiz every Friday afternoon which is due Saturday evening. If you want free time during the weekend, don't take her.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST CHEM PROFESSOR AT DAYTON! You have to put in the work to get a good grade in this class! You will learn so much in this course, hello you are in college, no one is giving out an easy A! She is great for meeting for office hours. Dont be shy, she likes students who take initiative to learn. Good luck!

Comment:

Dr. Trick is a great professor and I actually learned and understood concepts. The class was a lot of work, but well worth it in my opinion. The class is initially frustrating due to the OWLs and review questions, but is quite manageable once you get the hang of it. I would definitely recommend taking a class with Dr. Trick. You will learn a lot!

Comment:

Trick is a great teacher and severely underrated. She is challenging but excellent at explaining concepts and making you think. If you do the work, you'll do well. She teaches what's on the test and is the best chem teacher at UD most likely.

Comment:

When she was willing to teach, she was excellent. However, majority of learning came from the textbook. Most days she is on her high-horse about how students should behave, in and out of the classroom. You're not our mother, stop talking down to us. We want to learn about chemistry, not hear a thirty minute lecture about being responsible on campus

Comment:

Dr. Trick is great for CHM 123 if you are willing to put in the effort and teach yourself the concepts. There's daily OWL assignments and weekly quizzes, but it keeps you up to date on the material and helps to prepare you for the tests, which are in no way easy unless you study. I've worked hard to earn a B+ in her class.

Undoubtedly one of the best. Knows how to keep me honest and dedicated to my studies and classwork with the regular assignments and quizzes. I think she is giving me a strong foundation for my future chemistry courses-even though I'm always tempted to ease up on my time commitment and relax a little.

She is a good teacher but she expects the student to do 85% of the learning on their own. But she gives credit where it is due. Not a bad teacher. But a lot of work.

Just terrible.Requires/expects 1-3 hours of owls and reading/taking notes on the book 5 nights a week. Quizzes and more owls due every Saturday night. She doesnt teach much in class, just teaches concepts after theyre needed for owls/quizzes. Class is mandatory b/c of clicker questions. I put 10x more time into this class than my others and got a C

I really enjoyed her as a professor. I wish I could take her in 124. You really learn in her class and she expects a lot out of you. If you want a good grade, you have to work for it. She is a fair grader and will help you if you are prepared and willing. If you want to learn then definitely take her because it will be worth your while.

Excellent teacher and is will to help anyone. Expects a lot out of students. Weekly quizzes and online homework before every class. Tests are fair. This is the best teacher to take to be prepared for future courses.
