Comment:

I had her for lab and enjoyed talking to her. The labs were written by her so she expects them to be perfect. She reads everything in your notebook so sig figs and units are extremely important because she will take points off. I would not take her for lab but she would be fun to have lunch with.

I had her for the lab portion and she was great! She was super helpful and understanding. She was happy to teach and explain things and could easily be reached outside of class.

I loved Dr. O'Reilly. Even though chem was hard, I learned the material really well from her. Make sure to do optionally assigned problems, they will help you on tests! I wish I could have taken her for CH106

Comment:

Dr. O Reilly was an amazing professor. She was very lecture heavy and every class period was ONLY lectures, no worksheets or quizzes. Graded solely on 3 exams and a final, you had to WORK for an A. Recommend if you already took AP Chem, she goes at a kinda fast pace but material is understandable. I recommend reading the book and studying HARD

Comment:

Dr. O'Reilly is very knowledgable and shows it. She comes across as hardcore and appears to not care about her student's success. She teaches things harder than they need to be and purposely makes her tests tricky for students who aren't advanced with chemistry. She is very loud and intense during lecture and encourages you to use book problems.

Comment:

OReilly is my favorite professor by far. She is the kindest, most sweetest person I have ever met and is so willing to help you. I know a lot of people struggle with her tests but if you do the textbook problems from each chapter, you will be absolutely fine. Her tests arent harder than the book questions. Just prepare and you will do well!

Comment:

I struggled A LOT with her tests but she is very willing to help you succeed if you put in the work. I would say doing the book problems are a must, but just be prepared that the test material is going to be 10x more difficult. In the end I am very glad that I put myself through her class because she prepared me for ochem very well!!!

Comment:

O'Reilly is a great lecturer but she is very unapproachable during her office hours and her tests are ridiculously difficult. You will learn and understand the chemistry concepts but your grade will not reflect what you know. I recommend her if you want a serious challenge but chemistry is already difficult in college as is.

Comment:

O'Reilly give the best lectures! Hilarious, caring, and very energetic lady. She is a tough (but fair) grader and the class is test heavy. Here's the breakdown: three exams (50% of total grade), a final exam (25%), homework/quizzes (20%), and lab (5%). Do ALL the optional work and you'll do well. *dont buy the online access code she doesnt use it*

Comment:

O'Reilly is a great teacher that is very passionate about the subject. She wants her students to do well, but for them also to work for the grade they deserve. She is not the easiest gen chem teacher but will better prepare you for ochem and more science classes in the future. She does study sessions before exams and usually posts previous tests.

Comment:

Dr. O'Reilly is SUCH an awesome person. She is so funny and witty. She is a very good prof and expects a lot from her students. With that being said, she grades very tough. If you put in a lot of effort I am sure you will do fine, but this is NOT a class you can slack off in. She prepares you well for O Chem.

Comment:

Dr. OReilly is an amazing person and a very good professor, although she is tough. She is always energetic and helpful inside and outside of class. Her class is difficult and you will need to study a lot. I would strongly recommend taking an upper level class from her, it may be a hard adjustment for some to take her first semester of college.

I really like Dr. O'Reilly because she is hilarious, willing to help students, and incredibly knowledgeable. That being said, I will not be taking her again because her class, particularly exams, requires immense study time. If you have a heavy course load, do not take her because studying for chemistry will take up most of your time. Good prof tho

Comment:

Dr. O'Reilly is one of the most caring professors I have met. She really gets to know her students and their strengths and weaknesses. She is always eager to help you outside of class. She has tough tests but gives partial credit and will always help you out when you need it. I wish she could teach all my chemistry classes.

Comment:

Dr. O'Reilly is a fantastic lecturer, professor, and person. She is fantastic at explaining chemistry and is very passionate about it. That being said her 3 exams this semester were quite challenging, and much more difficult than other professors. I love O'Reilly and her class, but the tests were hard. You will get the grade you deserve.

O'Reilly is hard, but fair. If you work hard, you will get a good grade. She makes the work hard so that you know the material better, not to make you suffer. She cares about her students. If you're the type of person looking for a fair challenge, she is the perfect choice. If you want to breeze through Gen. Chem., I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

Comment:

One of my favorite teachers of all time. She lectures well, cares about her students, and really tries to get to know them in lab. Her tests are harder than most other gen chem professors', but it's not a problem because she is a great teacher. If you really want to learn, take her. She is the best. Protip: she doesn't use MasteringChemistry.

Comment:

Professor O'Reilly is amazing at getting her point across and lectures go by quickly because of how energetic she is. Her tests are definitely very challenging and getting an A in the class needs to be earned. She does really care about her student's learning though and helps in almost any way she can.

Comment:

Dr. O'Reilly is an interesting one. She has a hard shell but really is passionate, informed, and great at what she does. She lectures very well but also has pretty difficult tests. She holds review sessions before every exam and will answer really any question. I recommend looking at the book questions to aid with preparation. Talk to her too!
