I think she is a great professor and the way she tells stories to link them to the material that we are learning is very helpful in my opinion. The text book is not required and she does gives extra credit

the class is hard, its orgo. she has a lot of bad reviews but I think she is a great teacher. she is smart and she helps as much as she can. no curve but will give extra work for extra points. SHE WANTS YOU TO PASS!! don't expect for the grade to be handed to you but the extra credit, homework and office hours will help.

Comment:

Shes the best chem prof. !! you should absolutely take her because you will know more stuff about chemistry from her than from any other chem prof. She teaches very thorough. Her tests are straightforward and only have stuff that she already teached, no tricky stuff. Anyone who took chem 1 with her always follow her until organic! Shes that gud!

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFFESSOR !!! One of the worst professors at this college, expects you to know everything, and does not teach at ALL. When asking for help, she comes off very rude. She doesn't clearly explain the lab nor the pre lab quizzes, you have to take before every class. Do not take if you actually want to learn !!

From the first day you could tell she didnt want to be there. If you want help, good luck, youll be greeted with attitude and treated like youre an idiot for not understanding. The class itself isnt hard but if its not answered/done the way SHE wants it then its wrong and she wont tell you its wrong until youve already got a 0 for it.

Comment:

I had to take CHM1046 in 6 weeks.. not my first choice. However, I found her tests really stressful; at times she'd take points off for silly things like sig figs or capitalized letters. I believe if the student understands the concept & shows the work they should receive credit when its due. After taking her course I wouldn't recommend her.

Comment:

She is a decent professor. Her lectures can be sometimes be confusing and you have to teach yourself but the test are pretty easy. First half of the test is mainly multiple choice which consist of vocab and general questions. Second half is like balancing and etc. If you study and do the practice problems that is on her her google page youll be ok

Comment:

She is your worst option. I was warned about her but I took her anyway, horrible mistake! She explains things in ways only she would understand, many of us were confused. I had to constantly teach myself everything and was often anxious and in panic when I would get stuck on something I couldn't understand. This was my worst experience at pbsc :(

Comment:

During my semester w/ Prof. Judd, she was late 2 or 3 times, which is fine, but what's not okay is being completely absent twice in a row for class. There are students like myself who drive 60 miles to and fro class. I was never good in Chemistry, but her lectures are unnecessarily bland. Her enthusiasm to teach matched my own to keep attending.

Comment:

My poor grade is a reflection of my poor time management. She is nice, polite, and funny. She makes herself available as needed. She is very clear about the content in the course and answers all questions asked. I will be retaking her in other courses. Practice sets and notes are a must for quizzes.

DO NOT TAKE HER! take any other professor. go to a different campus! Judd makes things 100x harder than they need to be. needs to be fired. does not explain anything and expects u to know the material as well as her even tho shes been teaching it forever. worst professor on this campus. 1 of her class was canceled bc barely anyone signed up!

Worst professor I have ever taken. dont recommend her at all no matter how good u r @ chem. Ive always been good at chem but she really makes it more difficult than need be. Doesnt care if u pass or fail. Laughs when the class average is bad. seems to take joy out of kids failing. doesnt explain anything. i promise u will regret taking her.

Comment:

Honestly, Judd is amazing. Im not sure why people dont like her. She only lectures on what is going to be on the test, goes over the math/reaction problems on the board, and is always to the point. I whole heartedly believe she doesnt get the credit she deserves. If you like teachers that go step by step and arent all over the place, take her.

Alright Y'all, If you want to pass with minimal effort, don't take Judd. But if you're serious about learning and love chemistry, Judd is one of my favorite professors. I took her class from Chm 2 through Orgo 2. She tests you on comprehension, these are SERIOUS tests, this is not a walk in the park, panzy art class. Study hard, 2-3 hours a day.

Comment:

Professor Judd lectures all class. She is terrible at explaining and in my opinion just wants to get the lesson over and done with. I had to retake chm1045, I took it online and received an A! I wish I would have withdrawn from her class sooner. You have 5 tests and thats all your grades for the entire semester, no extra credit. Good luck
