Shes a really good professor. Her lectures and notes are amazing. She is very clear with her expectations. Quizzes and tests are pretty hard and shes a bit of a tough grader and expects a lot. Would recommend and take again

She is an awesome teacher. Her lectures are very clear and understandable. She does not teach just to teach but she wants her students to actually learn about what they are doing and why they are doing it. Tests and quizzes are very much based off her lecture notes. Take notes!! You should definitely take her class. Don't even think twice.

She's a really great professor. If you did well in Chemistry back in high school, you'll do fine in this class. Her lectures are extremely clear so much so that you don't need to read the book.

Cool professor overall. Her tests are a little bit more challenging than Ansari's but her lecture more engaging than Ansari's. She demonstrates cool experiments in class. Her final was relatively easier than her tests.

I don't know why her rating is low. She is as easy as Ansari, but with better lecture! Her lecture is so good and lets you feel energize. She has passion and super approachable! Only test what she lecture and won't have a surprise. Wonderful wonderful class!

You DEFINITELY should take her. She is the best teacher ever!! Her lecture is crystal clear and hilarious sometimes. I never took a nap during her lecture. Love her teaching style and her passion towards chemistry. She is a fair grader on exams and quizzes too. Do her practice on canvas and study some of the textbook problems, you will get an A.

Prof. Huber is the best! Her lecture is very clear and she provides practice problems on Canvas for us to prepare the quizzes and tests. Her grading is very clear and as long as you ask questions when you have and put your effort, you can do well in her class. She is there for you and answer questions and very knowledgeable in Chemistry.

AMAZING LECTURES! But tests and quizzes can be tough. You really need to put in a lot of time and effort. PRACTICE THE PROBLEMS SHE POSTS ON CANVAS. They are really helpful. As for Labs, she does explain it beforehand. Got an A.

Comment:

I have to say Huber's class is too hard!! 1B is harder than 1A; I took her class in the spring and it was brutal. Tricky quizzes and difficult exams. Many assignments and need to study all day in order to get a good grade. However, result is good. Not recommend to students dont have good background of chem and seriously, you need to work a lot!!

Comment:

One of the clearest professors in my life. She's so experienced and explain things very well in 1B. Helpful and will learn a lot if u go office hours. -1 point on every quiz and test for wrong sig figs and pretty tough grader for not showing all steps. Do tests and quizzes step by step and study her stude guide on canvas will ensure ur A.

Pretty horrible to part-time professors. Saw some things during a class that I did not like. Seems nice but is not genuine nor professional.

Comment:

Mrs. Huber is a wonderful professor. Her lectures are very clear and you can tell she loves chemistry. She does have quizzes about every week or so but as long as you take good notes you'll be fine. A lot of people say she's a hard grader but I don't agree (all science profs check sigfigs). But, if you want an A you do have to to try.

Comment:

She marked me down for not showing units in my work and marks you down for skipping steps in your work even if your answer is right with the correct sig figs. Very fair professor though, lectures are crystal clear and she provides you with problems via Canvas that she writes herself to help you study and to understand how she writes her tests

Comment:

She is a nice woman, but her tests do not align with her lectures. She puts things on the test you've never seen before. She explains pretty well, but can be hard to approach. She's a tough B, maybe C. If you're looking to pad your GPA, do not take.

Odd combo of hard & helpful. Inflexible about many things, yet offers math workarounds for calculations. Good lecturer. Doesn't like DSPS forms so take that into account. Encourages students to go to office hours.

Comment:

She's okay. I wouldn't put her on a golden pedestal like most people here say. She's probably the best you can get for 1B, but don't expect her to make it easy and clear. The material is hard and she puts in an average amount of care and effort to teach it.
