Comment:
She is very annoying and cannot stand being wrong. She makes you feel dumb when you ask her questions by asking questions back at you. Not difficult at all, just annoying. Avoid it if there is other options

Comment:
She is probably the worst teacher here! She's mean, rude, and not helpful at all! She does not like to answer questions and will complain about how terrible you are as a student. She has made me dislike chem now. There is a lot of work and time to put into this course. Her grading is easy but I would NOT recommend taking this unless you have too

Dr. Bordell is extremely tough and very intimidating, but, by the end of the semester, if you can withstand the mass dropout, she will become one of your favorite professors.

Comment:
This was a very difficult lab class. A full lab write up was due every week. She isn't a tough grader but she has so many requirements it makes the write ups stressful. The labs always had multiple parts making them hard to finish in time. She was very helpful though, before lab she ran through the main points and would answer intelligent questions

Comment:
Prof. Bordell taught the honors lab as though the students were in high school. She made everybody sit on the ground and listen to her go through the lab procedure step-by-step for an excruciating half an hour. I had flashbacks to kindergarten. Her grading was fair, but she does not think much of her honor students' ability to work independently.

This class is not hard if you DO THE WORK YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO. If you don't read the labs or pay attention, the class is impossible. Do the work, get the grade, simple as that.

AVOID THIS BY ANY MEANS NEEDED. It is amazing how much work this lab involves. Unless you love chemistry beyond belief stay with Gen Chem to avoid this lab alone.

She is so htough its ridiculous. She is nice outside of class though. Honors Chem and Bio Inquiry are not good to take together. Stay with Bio Inquiry to avoid this lab (unless you love large volumes of work).

Refused to answer questions, and was very disrespectful towards us. She might be better in lecture than in lab. Grades seemed somewhat random.

Comment:
she would only answer a question once, even if it was 1 on 1 with a student while the class was working. asking questions was like pulling teeth, kept us 1 1/2 hours after lab, and was kinda harsh even on a personal level. did know her stuff when we could
