Prof. Wiser is a fantastic lecturer, easy to approach, and obviously cares about her students. If you take the time to seek her out for clearer understaning, then you will do okay. There are tutors available for this class also, which I definitely suggest utilizing, as it shows her that you care abut your grade. I highly recommend her.

Prof. Wiser is a lovely lady. She is great at teaching chemistry, and she really takes the time to make sure students understand the material. She will meet with you one on one outside of class for any questions or concerns you may have. She is also super approachable, which is nice for those who have concerns about their grade.

Professor WIser made chemistry UNDERSTANDBLE AND FUN. She is very helpful and cares to get to know her students. Although she was always busy, she found even 15 minutes to squeeze students in her schedule to help them out. IF YOU GET THE CHANCE, TAKE CHEMISTRY WITH HER!! SHE IS AWESOME!! and take advantage of office hours!!!

I'm taking it now. The material is really interesting and Professor Wiser makes it even more invigorating. The math and the concepts are sublime giving insight to a quantum universe that we are just now beginning to understand.

She is so helpful and she can explain the material really good. When you go for help, she is very kind and explain everything to you. Nice professor. Because she explains very well, and the tests and quizes are mostly related to the homework, the course is very easy as long as you spend time on it.

My friend at Grinnell College failed his P-Chem course.I told him he should transfer here and take it with Wiser.She spent a lot of time one on one to make sure I got it and she gave regular help sessions too.
