Comment:

If you truthfully do the Prob Sets, Lec Ex's, go to lecture, and ask for clarification, there is no reason to not get at least a B on all the exams. Her exams were always derivations of questions we saw. Not necessarily easy but we knew what was coming. Her lectures were straightforward, most people just do not put in the effort to be honest.

Comment:

She understands the material, but overcomplicates when she explains it. Basic examples of problems are done in class, but are more complex on test. You must study outside of class to receive a good grade. The textbook cost OVER $200 and was a waste of money. Print out the notes and bring them to class. Overall good teacher, but is the only teacher.

Comment:

Puts in a good amount of effort to teaching. Doesn't try to fail you but the class is hard so if you don't do work you'll fail yourself. All material on tests will be covered in her lectures or occasionally during lab. Test questions are similar to homework and reviews are very helpful for studying. Don't buy textbook except to study from/practice.

Comment:

She puts in a lot of effort n explains concepts with detailed ppts. Gives out in class exercises which count for a grade, meaning attendance is mandatory, but these exercises are super helpful and those same types of questions come on the exam + the study guide that she writes out all answers for. Stay on top of masteringchem and constantly practic

Comment:

She is a great professor but her lectures are pretty boring. Exams are not too hard if you study. Many students do poorly on the exams so she will add bonus points to pick up the low average. Textbook is not needed, the mastering chemistry homework is plenty. Lots of homework, and if you do it all and use it to study for exams you'll be fine.

Comment:

I loved having Professor Stewart. Prof Stewart wants her students to succeed and do well. I bought the book but stopped using it halfway through the semester. She gives random lecture exercises so show up to class or you lose points. Chem is hard so you have to put in a lot of outside work.

Make sure you attend her class because she gives out random assignments. She's a nice person but sucks at responding to emails. No matter who your chem professor is the material is going to be hard so study A LOT. She forgets to review a lot of things during lecture but puts them on the exam not sure why. Don't be like me, keep on top of everything

She's a great Prof, she realizes heavily on lectures so don't miss any of those. shes really cool and one of the best chem profs at Umd. The exams are hard but she does provide a list of exactly whats going to be on the test. Be prepared to study outside of class a ton and this class takes up a lot of time with the studying and the homework. If som

This class was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. Web-Assign takes forever, but if you can do it without google, you can pass the open-ended part of the test. You HAVE to go to class. She doesn't put everything in her notes. She also gives out class exercises randomly. Lab will help your grade. The final is easier than the tests.

I love Ogie! Very clear explanations, and always makes sure to emphasize important concepts. Will answer any questions you have. Clear expectations. Wants you to succeed. Wish I had her for chem 134 - one of the best chem profs at Dearborn.

Comment:

Most of the people here complaining don't have a solid understanding of chemistry and just take Chem 134 straight away. If you want to succeed in this class, take Chem 090 first then take Chem 134. If you do have a good understanding of chemistry, then go ahead and take Chem 134. It's really not that hard, just apply yourself.

Dr. Stewart is a phenomenal instructor and person. She honestly cares for her students and works with you if you show effort. I had her for summer 1 and I have to say her exams are tough, but if you study hard, go to SI, and do her study guide and homework you will be just fine!

Comment:

Professor Stewart is on the outside a tough and strict professor, but if you dig in she will go above and beyond for you. Exams are tough, so know your material, but don't be afraid to email her, go to SI, or office hours. She will not hesitate to make sure you know the material. Also, she says she doesn't curve (But we all know she does)

Took this for the winter semester! Amazing professor, had her for both chem classes and got A's for both. Gives notes that you go over in class and the test is majorly multiple choice and has to do with calculations. Just study the notes and practice the calculations! She was amazing and definitely one I'm going to take for all chems that I can!

She manages to make even the difficult concepts understandable. Excellent Professor. She makes the notes clear and concise and provides students with an outline for all the notes. Just do your studying and you'll get the grade you deserve.

Comment:

If you want to pay to watch someone do all of the problems from the book, go ahead and take her. Otherwise, I'd stay away. Doesn't teach much from a conceptual standpoint, rather choosing to teach by encouraging rote memorization. Disappointing after reading the great reviews.

Amazing professor in my opinion. Made it easy for me to understand chemistry. Gives lecture notes to follow along with class, and posts everything online. Tests are hard, but if you know how to work her examples and go to SI, you'll be fine! Definitely taking her for my other chemistry!
