I love Dr. Stone! She is very nice, has a good sense of humor, and really cares about her students. If you show up to class and complete/study the worksheets she gives, as well as do the practice tests she provides online, you will do fine.

Comment:

Took Dr. Stone last year for general chemistry 1, she was a solid lecturer and I did learn quite a bit. Somewhat hard to reach outside of class, but she does care a lot about her students. Tests seemed often harder than most other teachers since she expects a fair amount of memorization, definitely need the book. Not a class to fool around in.

Comment:

She honestly is not how people say she is. Yes, you have to re-teach yourself the material but its chem! You cant expect to understand every lecture instantly. Like she says repetition is key to retention. Shes very understanding and helpful. If you have any questions, shes always willing to answer them for you and will do more if needed.

Comment:

One of the worst professors that I've ever had. Her lectures are lacking in any material and she relies on you knowing the material yourself by just reading the book. It makes her lectures pointless and I learned most of the course through watching videos on YouTube. Avoid her completely.

Nice lady, but her teaching skills aren't the greatest. Many errors in her slides. She doesn't do a good job of explaining small details either. There is a lot of homework, sometimes 100+ questions a week. It was very repetitive and did not help much on the tests, just made me even more confused. Definitely made me feel stressed.

Do not take this professor. She seems like a nice lady but not a very good teacher. Does not break down the material well. I would take a different chemistry teacher if you can. By far the worst teacher I have ever had.

Comment:

We meet three times a week, 50 minutes a day. She spends 20 minutes a day trying to get her computer working and when she figures it out, she realizes her information is incorrect. She spends more time making the animations for her slides than actually teaching as she is supposed to do and what we are paying for.

She uses the iclickers 24/7 during class and does not go over most of the answers. Does not teach at all in lecture, struggles to get the electronics to work which takes a lot of time. Very nice person, but a terrible Professor. Do not take her class!

Comment:

She is the most frustrating, counterproductive and hostile professor I've ever experienced :( after lab I'd always leave confused and sad, because she'd never help me make sense of the labs. My semester was miserable because of her temperamental "teaching" style. She would raise her voice when I asked for help and would leave her office when I came

I took Biochem 1 with Dr. Stone. She was very fair from the start. Everything that is on her notes WILL be on the exam. I never used the book once. As long as you keep up with the website assignments and do them correctly you will get B's or better on her exams. She also gives 50 EC points if you sign up and be a tutor.

Took her for chemistry 1100 and she was a great professor to be honest. She is pretty good at telling us what we will be tested on and she gives a lot of examples that are nearly identical to her tests. Would definitely recommend her if you want to pass chem.

I really don't understand why so many people complain about her. I had her for chemistry and she was one of the easiest professors I have ever had. I am generally not good in sciences, but I am glad I took it with her. She explains everything and gives similar examples to work on that will be on the quizzes. All you have to do is practice.

Get ready for one of the hardest labs you will take at this campus. You need to read scientific papers to obtain your own procedure. These procedures will take longer to complete than the time given for the class. Be ready to figure out how to complete the lab analysis on your own.

Comment:

Took Chem over the summer and the class itself is not difficult, however Dr Stone should not be teaching. She is rude to just about everyone when you ask questions and you have to teach yourself the material. The worst part is that she has horrible communication skills and her mistakes often have negative effect on your grade. !DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Took Chem 1 over summer because I thought I would do good in the class since I have never done bad in any of my science classes, but I was so wrong. Basically she doesn't teach and she assumes that the students already know everything. The quizzes have 1 or 2 questions from the practice quiz and the rest is some random stuff that we "should know"

Shes pretty cool. I took gen chem 1 over the summer with her. She puts practice quizzes that are almost identical to her real quizzes. She is kind of confusing, but not too difficult. You definitely need to study and stay on top of things in class. I highly recommend taking her :)
