Comment:

Dr. Willard is one of the best chemistry professors. She is a great person and a professor. She seems very tough in the beginning then she treats you as her family. She is so hilarious and uses very funny examples to explain. She is so knowledgeable and cares about her students. She takes point off but you will learn a lot. She explains very well.

Comment:

Dr. Willard is my favorite professor at Grossmont. Dare I say it, I actually enjoyed CHEM 141. The formal lab reports I wrote were never more than 5 pages (including calculations) and I got an A/B on all of them. Her problem sessions are hard, but she provides the previous years EXAMS and HINT: THEY ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THE EXAMS SHE WILL GIVE YOU.

Comment:

Whenever i asked her for help she told me to visit her in her office hours, went to her office hours basically told me that she was busy and told me to figure it out on my own. She also gives quizes every week that are super confusing and they have nothing to do with what u studied that week.

Comment:

Cary Willard is my favorite professor so far at Grossmont, she really cares about her students, she will tell you consistently to visit her in her office if you have any questions, plus her labs are not hard but she does take a lot of points off for not writing a good report

Material was tough, but she explained the material perfectly to us. Her old exams are on her website which helps a lot of the exams.

Comment:

She likes hard working students and your grade will show at the end of the semester *wink *. Her tests are tough, but she has review sessions for you to ask questions. You can skip a few lectures of you and it won't hurt you too much if you're studying the material from her lecture notes, but the lab is nearly mandatory.

Comment:

Honestly, probably one of the WORST science teachers for me. She made everything so much more confusing and can't teach if her life depended on it. I'm good at the math portion, but the way she teaches it is so confusing. If you want to or need to pass Chem 115 DON'T TAKE! She's terrible and confusing. Grades harder on those who don't understand

She is goofy and interesting during her lectures. Definitely made me work to get my A. Gave plenty of warming to prepare for all quizzes and tests and provides access to old quizzes and tests that is very similar to the ones she gives in class. Also provides study guides to let you know exactly what will be on the tests. I did not buy the textbook.

Comment:

GENIUS! she is so passionate about chemistry; if you dont get a certain topic; she would always give you a life-related example that makes you understand. Her tests are tough, but she provides you with many online accessible help that may prepare you. If you are willing to put the time in this class, TAKE HER.

Comment:

Doctor Willard has an amazing personality. She expects a lot from her students. Her grading is very unfair and tough in the beginning of the semester yet gets smoother when the semester rolls. Great teaching skills, yet very unhelpful in labs (during the lab and in the formal reports). Take it w/ someone else if your not naturally smart in chem

Willard is an amazing person, yet a very tough teacher. She expects you to master your 120 skills before taking her class! Shes a tough grader too especially on labs I wouldnt recommend her unless your major is chemistry

Comment:

Willard is not an easy instructor. She will prepare you very well for the next level because her main goal is to get the students know their chem back and forth more than caring about what grade they get! shes a nice person but you need to work very hard on her class in order to get the grade you desire

Comment:

Cary was a great professor and she makes you work hard for your grade. Her exams are exactly the same as the previous years because she use the old tests to make the new ones. she is a hard grader and she will definitely check your math. lectures are a little bit hard to understand because she talks fast, go to her office for help! take her.

Her tests are extremely hard. And she is very unhelpful. When you see her in her office hour, she acts like she does not care and when you ask for help, she tells you to figure it out on ur own. I've never had a professor like her all my college year. Regret taking her

Comment:

She explains topics in a very roundabout way, almost as if she doesn't prepare for lecture. The class is very passable, but with much more effort to understand the material on your own than in class. She is approachable and will help with problems, if you ask. The biggest problem is she uses mostly online homework that doesn't give feedback.

Comment:

Cary is a great teacher, and, if you listen, ask questions and study, you will be totally fine. Chemistry is a really interesting, and she can prove it. Don't hesitate to ask questions and also - attend tutoring sessions having ready the sample exam she always provides you with. It helps a lot. Goof luck, and don't be afraid of her class, please.

Comment:

Yes, chemistry is hard and the amount of work you put in reflects the grade you receive but Willard is by far one of the greatest science professors I've ever had. Her exams are tough and she isn't the easiest grader, but she really wants her students to succeed. She explains the concepts so well & tries to make lecture funny. Highly recommend her!

Comment:

Her tests and quizzes are basically her old test and quizzes, and she wants you to know that! In the beginning she grades pretty tough but once the semester rolls through she grades very easily and doesn't even check that well for lab errors. Not hard if you already know a bit of chemistry
