Comment:

Dr. Pence is a fantastic professor. She is incredibly smart and engaging in class and just as friendly outside of it. Anyone would be lucky to have her. The class has a decent amount of short essays and annotations, but she provides the textbook and the work overall is enjoyable. The class discussions foster a really friendly environment!

Comment:

Dr. Pence was by far one of the best professors I've ever had. You have to request to be in her lecture if you're not a biochem major, and I took it at 8 am but it was totally worth it. She does demos in each lecture, and she does review sessions every week. As long as you work hard, you'll get a good grade.

Dr. Pence is by far the best professor I have had. She breaks down topics and explains them so that they are easy to understand. Her teaching is incredible and if you show up to her class and pay attention, you will have no problem getting a good grade. She is very genuine, caring, and has a lot of corny jokes. UHART is very lucky to have her.

Comment:

Laura Pence is a wonderful professor at Uhart. I had not taken chemistry since freshman year of high school and she made it very easy to understand and do well. I missed a test due to an illness and she was not only accommodating to my problem, but genuinely made me feel like I had a parent at the university that cared. Her jokes are corny, but gr8

She's great. She actually cares about you and is willing to help you anyway she can. Her teaching style is great and she makes sure you're on track. She's funny too and always happy even at 8am. If you can, try to get her for chemistry. You won't regret it, I promise you.

Professor Pence is literally the best professor I have ever had. I already loved chemistry before taking her class and now I love it even more. She finds ways to make an 8 am lecture fun and keeps everyone engaged. I am going to be looking for more classes taught by her in the future.

She is easily one of the best professors I've ever had. Very clear in lectures, gives great feedback. Homework is optional but if you do the homework your grade will reflect that. Performs live chemical reactions at the end of the week. And the best part is she offers multiple test examples for each exam so you can study them. Plus I love her jokes
