Comment:

Dr. Bud is probably one of the best chemistry professors I've ever had. Her lectures are interesting and full of crucial information. My advice: Do all the packet problems after lecture, do all the optional assigned textbook homework problems, and do all the problems on the study guides.

7 quizzes, 2 dropped, 3 tests (1 dropped), 1 cumulative final, and 12 points extra credit. Your grade solely depends on quizzes and tests. Class is not easy, the concepts are not easy, the tests are not easy. If you plan on taking this course make sure to work three times as much as you would for other classes. Not an easy A.

Comment:

She squeezes in last-minute subjects that she'll put on tests. doesn't give enough time for her HEAVY tests & expects u to know stuff you can only get from the textbook, which isn't assigned. Grade is based only on your tests/quizzes so if you can't depend on this then don't take it. Willing to help you but it's pointless, test will throw you off

This professor is amazing. She is organized, and an experienced professor. She will test you on homework and on the material she goes over in class. Take her if you can!!! I only wish we had more time to take the exams, but overall she is one of the best profs at Mesa. Take her!!!!

Please take her classes if you have chance. She is the most helpful chemistry professor at San Diego Mesa college. Her explanation is so clear. There are three exams and final(MCs). If you do homework and problem sets that she provides, you will get an A for all exams and learn alot.

Excellent teacher if you want to learn Chemistry. She does teach fast, but she gives out all the information you will be tested on very thoroughly. One test and two quizzes are dropped. Anyone could pass this class if they just study and practice the material she assigns

She teaches really fast, so you have to keep up with the material and practice at home. The homework is not collected, so its up to you whether you want to pass by doing them. One test is dropped not including the final. Quizzes every other week two dropped (easy if you study). Labs are easy she really explains every aspect so theres no confusion.

Dr. Bud is a one of a kind professor, who is wise as she is smart. Her lectures are one hell of a ride, that if you ask the right questions, will bring you to a higher place of understanding.

Comment:

Chem 201 is an extremely difficult class that moves very fast and covers very difficult material. However, she keeps her lectures interesting, does lots of practice problems, and has an awesome sense of humor. Her tests are extremely difficult. Don't only practice the material, practice doing it fast! I ran out of time on a test and the final

Comment:

Dr. Budzynski is very fair. Offers many chances to gain points, make up, and makes getting an A doable. Exams are tough as to be expected in a chemistry class. Sometimes too easy with late assignments, so don't shoot yourself in the foot like I did. Would definitely recommend.

Dr B is probably the best chem professor I have ever had. Very clear lectures for 201. Acid base is hard. You must buy that lecture packet. Practice and practice and you will be fine. Remember "A students get A's."

We aren't done with the semester yet, but I just felt like dropping a review for Dr. B. Professor Budzynski is very clear as to her expectations and what you need to study. For the exams she gives study guides and it's in your interest to do them. For lab, your best bet is to be well prepared to do the lab. Very helpful during office hours.

Great teacher. Very clear about what you will be tested on. Follow the packet she gives you, do the homework, and check out her website that has past quizzes and tests. Very similar types of problems. She's awesome.

She was great! I really wish she would teach organic chem though :( She makes the material really clear and concise. She may go too fast sometimes only because she drinks a lot of coffee but she's very nice and happy to help. Her tests weren't hard.

Extremely clear, helpful, and thorough. Shows lots of examples, assigns lots of HW, and gives really useful lecture. Notes are part of the course pack too, so that makes lectures even better bc students don't have to worry about writing notes quickly and missing out on what's being said. Answers questions. Provides plenty of feedback via quizzes.

Comment:

Very leaniant with partial credit , she drops two quizzes and one exam. Final is very easy, takes major concepts only. Class is very boring at least for me. She tries to break it down for you in lecture but I found it easier to just read the textbook. I didn't pay much attention during lectures but reading the text gave me a B.

Personally best chem teacher I have had yet she explains the subject so well and if you listen you will understand. A lot of students try to ask questions but she explains it in great detail just be a good listener! She is an amazing person has adopted children loves teaching it seems like she enjoys watching students succeed and understand! :)
