Comment:

Dr. Franke is well-educated and has a clear and easy lesson/grading plan. There is a lot of room to earn points (passing is easy) but you need to work a bit for an A. Do the online 20 points EC, it will help a lot. Homework is often irrelevant to lectures, focus on notes and examples for tests/quizzes. She is hard to approach, but wants the best.

Knowledgeable in the subject, but terrible at explaining the concepts. I only learned from watching YouTube videos. Her work is really extensive and can make you feel stupid when you're confused. She has office hours at least.

Comment:

Dr. Franke's class was something else. Her lecture really is just her reading off her own notes but she does go through every single practice problem with the class, which makes going to lecture worth it. Labs were pretty straight forward and she gives you 2 weeks to finish one lab, which is pretty great. Overall, she was a good professor!

Comment:

Professor Franke was very knowledgable in the subject, but her teaching techniques need massive work. All she does is read from her slides, making going to class basically worthless. She also showed a lack of compassion and consideration for students. Graded our paper ridiculously hard. She also does not drop or replace a test score with the final.

Comment:

Professor Franke is very knowledgeable on the subject, but I struggled a lot just to pay attention during lectures. She is super particular with labs and grading, and does not do the best job at explaining concepts. Whenever I asked her a question, she would be condescending and expected me to already know it. She's also super dry and cold at times

Nice teacher and person. Does examples from notes in lecture. Discusses applications of the material. Supports class participation. Graded on HW, tests, quizzes. About 20 extra credit pts available. resources are provided online. HW was online. Amount of HW could get steep at times but straight forward.

Comment:

She was a great professor. She taught the subject well and provides a lot of opportunities to bump your grade with homework, lab, and extra credit. I would take her again if I could. It's definitely a doable A if you put in a standard amount of time. She can be a little cold at times but overall is a very sweet lady.

The class was pretty straightforward. The homework is graded in front of you and youre able to do corrections for extra points. She also gives you around 20 points of extra credit thats also helpful.

Very passive aggressive teaching style. Very anti-social type personality and has horrible writing which is illegible. If you take this class, prepare to be confused nearly the whole semester. Terrible experience.

A very good professor. She will help when you ask questions. Her notes are organized and her examples are helpful. But studying and practicing more than the usual is important if you want a very good grade in the class because her quizzes and tests are challenging.

Overall, this class went well. Franke has her moments of being extremely condescending but I believe she wants everyone to succeed. You will definitely have to work for your grade, but points are available to allow you to succeed. There is extra credit available and the lab points are weighed.

Comment:

Professor Franke is a good person overall I just didn't really agree with her teaching style. She's extremely organized which is nice but I struggled in this class. The biggest problem I had was that she doesn't do enough examples in the notes. She's funny and approachable even though she may seem like she's not in lab. She wants you to succeed.

Comment:

Dr. Franke is a great teacher. Her lectures are clear, but they go fast so pay attention. Her tests are moderately tough (except test 4, its painful), and she gives a bunch of (pretty) easy quizzes. Mastering Chem and labs give a ton of credit to get an A. Overall you're gonna have to work for the grade a bit but an A is definitely not far fetched.

Comment:

Really enjoyed her class! Her lectures were so good, I never needed the textbook. Gives a few options for extra credit. I was literally half a point away from an A at the end of the semester so I talked to her and she gave me the A. She tries to be funny, sometimes it works out. She's super nice even though during labs she may seem condescending.

To be honest I really liked Professor Frankie. When grading tests or quizzes, she gives you the benefit of the doubt and sees where you messed up in your calculations. She gives you a lot of opportunities for extra credit. If you are ever confused about a topic she is always willing to help. STUDY THE NOTES! She tests what are on the notes (online

First off, I think people need to realize that she only has one semester to teach the class 12 chapters of material! That's a lot of chapters!!! And honestly,if you aren't ready for a fast-paced, not-going-to-hold-your-hand chemistry class, please take intro chem first. I think she did fine for the amount of time she had to teach all the material

Comment:

She's a cool person but she makes the entire class period so boring. Her notes will have one example from each new subject which sometimes doesn't even help because on the test it's 100 times harder than the question in the notes. In my class there were about 3/4 of the class still finishing their tests after class was over each time. Find better

Comment:

The worst professor ever. I do not understand how she is the 2nd best. She is extremely rude and inconsiderate of student feelings. Her sassy comments should not be aloud in any school environment. Lectures are a waster of time, she just reads from her dry notes. The only thing useful are her practice problems on the notes. Her class is Bull.

Overall 3 exams and an ACS final. She's really boring and not very clear in her lectures, but as longneck as you go to her office hours and do the same exact problems in the lecture packets you can easily Ace the exams. The ACS final is much easier than her exams, at least in my opinion.

Comment:

She's super boring. If you simply do the work you'll pass with a C. Don't bother studying anything but her notes to do well on the quizzes/exams. She can be kind of rude in a really nice way. My advice, don't take her unless you don't have another option. She's soooo boring.
