Professor Snow really cares for her students & wants everyone to succeed. I took her online, and it was very clear what was expected of you and easy to follow along with the assignments. Her class may be a bit difficult if you dont have a chemistry background, but if you utilize other resources while studying and doing homework, you will be fine.

Prof. Snow is the best Chemistry teacher I have ever had. She genuinely wants her students to succeed, and will do anything to help. She gives really easy extra credit. As long as you do the homework, watch her panopto's, and do the quizzes you should do well in her class. She's very understanding and very easy to work with. Really great teacher!

My favorite professor at UAH so far! I took her for CH101 and 201. Her classes are straightforward with lots of opportunity for bonus points and pretty easy to pass if you're going to lecture and doing the homework. If you miss lecture she posts recordings on Canvas. She also posts her old tests, which is awesome! She's really helpful and kind.

She lectures the whole entire time (until the last second of the last minute of class) so get ready... but she does give bonus points if you go to class so thats a plus. The tests were very hard!!

She gives generous opportunities for bonus points and offers many chances outside of class to review and better understand material. She makes the lectures interesting, shes funny, and shes available to help students. I greatly appreciated her and would take a class with her again.

TAKE HER! I would take her every semester until I graduate if I could. She explains concepts very well. PLENTY of extra credit. Lecture recordings, notes, study guides, and old exams (which are nearly IDENTICAL to the ones she will give) are on Canvas. Her class never felt like a burden, yet I felt like I was learning every day. Loved having her.

Comment:

Great professor. Hardest part of the class was the online homework, but you can basically guess until you get the right answer and still get credit. She offers so much bonus that it's hard to fail as long as you put in a reasonable amount of effort, but you HAVE to go to class to get the bonus points.

Professor Snow is an amazing teacher. She loves what she teaches, give lots of resources to pass tests, gives lots of bonus opportunities, and cares about student success. My only complaint is she doesn't allow phones or laptops. If you take out a phone or laptop she will call you out in front of the class. She doesn't care to embarrass you.

I cannot speak highly enough of Mary Setzer! Posts lecture notes online. Gives tons of extra credit. We had 3 multiple-choice exams (all with extra credit) which were very similar to her old exams she posted online. My word of advice: when she says memorize something, memorize it! The final is departmental so study carefully for it. Great teacher!

She was fine. Her lectures moved quickly if I tuned out for a minute I would be lost when I came back.

Comment:

Mrs. Setzer is a great, lighthearted teacher. I had her for chemistry 101 and decided to jump into elementary organic chemistry right after that. Having said that, the material wasn't as hard as I had expected, but I still don't understand the process of reactions between benzene rings (a good chunk of the material) and got out with a B+.

She's awesome! She is willing to help you anyway she can even with the lab that she doesn't even teach. She gives her old tests online and that is all I ever study. I have 115% in the class. There is online homework, but it's not hard.

LOVED HER!!! She breaks down things so simply so its easy to understand. Says cheesy jokes that actually help to remember things. Gives A TON of extra credit, even on the online homework (you need an access code for this). Puts up old tests online for you to study from which are exactly what the test will look like. Textbooks not needed. TAKE HER!!

Setzer was passionate about Chemistry, which helped a lot because I hated it. She also does her best to keep the attention of a 100+ person class. Go to class, do the homework, and you'll do fine.

I wish I could highlight and bold "Gives extra credit." Seriously, she gives so much. If you show up, you get attendance points. If you get clicker questions correct, you get extra credit. I would have had an A if I hadn't skipped class all the time. Tests can be tough, but she gives great study guides. Prepare for hilarious, punny dad-jokes.
