Comment:

She seems tough at first but she teaches pretty slowly and makes sure you understand everything. You'll only be tested on what she says in class so if you go to class you'll do good! I made a 96% on the final.

Comment:

Definitely a nice woman with a decent understanding of chemistry, but some of the ways she tries to explain concepts make no sense (covalent bonds as skin?). My TA explains a lot of the concepts that she neglects to cover well much better than she does. The last exam was written very poorly as well. Overall though, a pretty easy course.

Comment:

I have always done well in chemistry classes until I had this prof. She does not understand most of the concepts she seems to be teaching and even went as far as to confuse me of things I previously understood. I suggest studying out of your book before listening to her lectures for ALL exams in this class.

Come to class everyday prepared and you will learn. She explains the concepts very well (she does research in chemistry education) and makes use of excellent demos. She is a very skilled and knowledgeable.

Comment:

Awesome teacher, she was really a great teacher, explained things really well and was straight to the point. demonstrations were helpful, and her exams more reflected understanding of the materials. she should teach all the classes of 115/116 instead of the old guy or francisco

Best Chemistry Professor...after she explains a concept she applies it to a real world example...if you dont have her I suggest you transfer to her lecture...she makes lecture worth going to

She went out of her way to screw us over, and her lectures were so boring I wanted to gouge my eyes out.
