I loved her! She gives out study guides and extra credit, which really help. Don't cram for her exams, though-- they cover A LOT of material. Her personality made the class really chill. The homework is irritating.

Very kind professor kind and very intelligent, which is why a lot of people get lost. Expect iClicker questions every lecture for attendance points, which isn't such a bad thing. Her notes during lecture are so scattered, if you fall behind taking them down, you will be very confused. Biggest tip: get tutoring, be consistent, always do optional HW!

If you're taking this class you're either a Chem or Bio major so you know what you're in for. Just don't expect her to be there during her office hours...I usually just went to some other professor and talked to them about my questions.

Suzanne, as dorky as this sounds is inspiring. It's nice to see a smart woman in her position who is both intelligent and passionate about her subject. I had her in the fall but forgot to review her. She is spectacular! I highly recommend her.

Comment:

although attending lect. is not required, I highly recommend it, she will tell us side stories about things in her life then put questions about it on the tests. She explains things fairly well and is very open to helping or even doing a study group for the final.

I really enjoyed her as a teacher. Very laid back but knowledgeable. She does a good job using her enthusiasm to keep you paying attention the whole lecture. Enjoyed her class a lot, but lab was hell!

Comment:

She is always willing to explain if you have questions, and it's nice that she puts the lecture powerpoints online. However, it's important to go to the lectures because there are test questions that cover information given in lecture that aren't on the powerpoints.

She's cool. The fact that she really loves what she teaches makes the class a little easier. If you take ANY notes at all, then the exams shouldnt be a problem

Professor Williams was VERY helpful. She offers a lot of extra help and really seemed to care a lot about her students. Her test are very clear and she also has study groups that has a lot of the questions on the test. She provides very fun extra credit options. Overall she was an excellent professor and I would recommend her to anyone.

Comment:

Some people really did very well in her class, as long as you are willing to put forth effort to study your butt off, it will really pay off. This is not one of those classes though that you can afford to miss lectures, too much information is covered in one lecture for you to try to catch up on!!!

Suzanne was so excited about teaching that it made the class sorta fun! she moved a little quick sometimes and she doesn't write the greatest tests, but she tries to make everything interesting and fun! Having her for disc. helps, she goes over what you really need to know. She makes me laugh!

Comment:

Susanne is apporachable and I have seen her snowboarding so she cant be that bad. But she is not good at bringing across information. If you are lucky you will get Dave Erickson for a discussion teacher. What she takes 2 days to make kinda clear he will make clear in 10min. Alot of xtra crdt though.

Comment:

Oh My Gosh!!! How boring could lecture possibly be? Discussion helps you out way more than lecture ever will. You get the notes for her class on the computer, and with that you don't really ever need to attend lecture. Lab was easy but never helped with the class. Get DaveErickson for discussion

The class goes at a fast pace and if you haven't had chemistry before it can be a little difficult to understand. The Dis and Lab help a lot for your grade. The teacher also gives extra credit assignments that help out a lot.

Great teacher. The best college prof I've ever had. Always willing to help and explain. Extra credit was nice to have and the group assignments made for 50 easy points. The material got a little difficult at the end. She was very easy going and made class fun.

If youve taken chem in high school, dont come the first week or two. After that she picks up and does a decent job. Shes not all too hard, uses webct a lot, so thats nice. All your notes that you need she has posted on there. I would recommend her.
