Best chem professor EVER. She needs to teach more than just orgo... or, she needs to teach the rest of the chem department how to be like her.

Comment:

By far the best professor I've had at Providence. Genuinely cares about how the students are doing and wants us to learn the material. She breaks down the notes in a way that we can understand and her exams for the most part are fair. Definitely go to her office hours to get help or just to talk to her about anything. I highly recommend her.

Hands down, Dr. Adamus is by the far the best professor I have had at PC. She is very sweet and approachable. Not only was she extremely helpful, but grades a quiz or test the day that it's taken and is posted on Angel. In addition, the way she taught has motivated me to be a chem major. My only complaint is this is the only class she teaches.

By far the best professor I have had at PC. She not only made organic barable but she almost made it fun for me even though I hate chemistry. She made it extremely clear and covered everything in class. Unlike most chemistry professors she was not out to trick you, she wanted you to succeed. Absolultey amazing.

Dr. Adamus is the best. Makes everything understandable and is very willing to help. It's obvious that she wants her students to do well. Quizzes and tests reflect what has been taught in class. Make sure to keep up with the reading and doing the assigned problems. Best prof for any science class I've had.

She is extremely nice and very interested in both the students and the subject matter. It is still a hard course which requires a lot of study time but if you commit to studying it makes a lot of sense. She is one of the best profs at PC

Comment:

Material is clear and understandable but she goes out of her way to make quizzes and tests unreasonably hard. Homework assignments are often extensive and you are responsible for ALL of the material. I learned a lot in this class but my grade wasn't reflective of that. Take at your own risk you will learn a lot but GPA will suffer.

Comment:

One of the best teachers I've had at PC. Orgo is VERY hard but she explains it clearly and makes sure everyone is following her and understands. She lectures straight from her notes using the chalk board. Always willing to help and very approachable, class is a lot of work but any orgo class is, tests are very hard so you need to always be studying

Comment:

Tough on lab reports, but an AMAZING professor. After hearing all the stories about organic chem, I was scared, but she made the material very clear. She's fair and balanced with tests and quizzes, and really loves both chemistry and teaching. Chalk talk is an added bonus. Orgo analysis=another awesome class! Dr. Adamus is one of the best at PC.

If you have to take Orgo take her or Dr. Pike. Both are awesome. Dr. Adamus is very dedicated and will help any student that goes to her for help. The quizes and tests are challenging but very fair. If you put in the effort you will do well.

Don't be fooled her tests are very hard. People can tell you she is easy but she is not easy at all. she wants you to know your stuff very well. She doesn't use a scale unlike all the other chem teacher in the school.

I don't know if she's easy, or just clear, but she makes organic chemistry seem like a breeze. Always willing to help, even as the dept. chair her door is always open to students.
