Comment:

Shultz is absolutely the worst professor that I've had thus far. Her lectures not germane at all to test content and homework assignments. She is absent-minded and incapable of teaching even the most basic concepts of chemistry. Avoid her class; take CHEM 1!

Comment:

She is a very nice person, but is unable to teach even the basic concepts that are required to even begin learning chemistry. I took CHEM16 as an alternative to CHEM1/2 and was expecting a breeze through, but the workload was way more than anyone predicted.

Comment:

Incompetent professor. Material is very nonstandard (compared to chem 1) and she doesn't teach it well. Hard to understand lectures/textbook (which she wrote). Quizzes not AT ALL representative of study guides, which was very disappointing, led to class arguments regarding quiz material. Median jumps from 60 to 85 and she refuses to curve grades.

Comment:

Prof. Shultz is the worst professor I have had so far. I usually do not give prof ratings unless I feel strongly about him/her, but if you read the rest of comments below, you'll understand. Disjunct lectures, hard-to-understand textbook. Quizzes are VERY hard to study for--her study guides are dangerously misleading. I would go for Chem 1 instead.

Comment:

The first day she asks you as a class if you know what H2O is. You are treated like 12 years old's from then on. She has a poor method of teaching, and she wrote the book for the class. Yea.. Its tough. Some ups to the class are 88-100 is an A, 76-88 is a B. Unless you know someone who has gone through the class already, avoid it.

This was the worst class that I have ever taken. The book is HORRIBLE! I became so frustrated with the book I went out and bought another one. Avoid this class at all costs!

Comment:

I loved Chemistry before taking this class, but after taking her class, I dislike it . I heard it was going to be easy, but it is THE worst class I have ever taken. She does not explain anything and the book is just as bad. I bought a different chem book and used that to teach myself the material. Beware!

Comment:

unclear teaching style, wrote the text for the class, which might be the worst thing i've ever set eyes on. Lectures are structured poorly, homework assignments are often due before material in question is taught.

Comment:

This class SUCKS, but if you already know the material you'll be able to get through. She's a TERRIBLE teacher, wrote the WORST book I've ever read (seriously -- the book is still in alpha stages, and she forces us to use it). You learn nothing in class.
