Comment:

Also had her for CH109. Still terrible. Georgiadis does not teach in prelab and obviously does not communicate with TFs, the grading is so unclear and unfair. Never any feedback provided. Go to prelab in case there are TopHat questions, which is a program she can barely use. And don't go to office hours she just rambles and makes you feel stupid.

Comment:

Absolute worst. Can't teach for her life. She teaches CH109 Prelab and is supposed to prepare us for lab. Instead she rambles on for the 75 minutes about anything except lab. She had talked about Greek olive oil, unrelated chemistry, and things way over our head. She uses TopHat which counts as participation, so go to lecture. Would not recommend.

Comment:

You would think that having personally designed this course and teaching it for years, Georgiadis would be an amazing lecturer - unfortunately, she isn't. Avoid going to her office hours - she'll just trap you there for hours, making sure to subtly belittle your intelligence. She gets angry at you for following the TF's instructions as well.

Comment:

Personally failed almost every single discussion quiz and got a 37% on an exam and still ended up with a C+. She isn't the best at explaining things, but if you go to her office hours she will try her best to make you understand a topic. If you don't naturally excel at chemistry it is important to use every single office hour and resource available

Comment:

CH 101 is hard and she doesn't make it any easier. I had her during the fall semester and eventually had to drop it and retake it during spring. Nothing changed in my study habits but I went from almost failing to getting an A-. The difference? The teacher. She's intelligent she doesn't present concepts well and often contradicts herself.

Comment:

I had Prof Georgiadis for both semester CH101 and CH102. She was a lot better during CH102 because our class was smaller. She actually took a lot of time to explain topics and i agree she will help you a lot with the lecture quizzes that Dill makes. She works better with fewer people, so if youre struggling, go to her office hours.

Comment:

Georgiadis is caring, never condescending, super funny. She sometimes struggles with technology or makes mistakes during lectures, but is quick to correct them. CH101/102 is hell, but its not her fault. Will sometimes literally give you the lecture quiz answers and will try her best to explain difficult concepts to you outside of class.

Comment:

most professors will say that "A" leads to "B". Prof. Georgiadis takes her students on an adventure; she will go from "A" to "G" to "R" to "X" to "Z" and back to "H" and then to "E" and maybe you will get to "B" if you are lucky

Comment:

Some people are gifted teachers and others aren't. Professor Georgiadis is a strong example of the latter. She is an incredibly intelligent woman, but cannot teach for the life of her. The reason she is a teacher at all, much less at BU, escapes me. She absolutely cannot explain things, is never prepared for lecture, and is overtly rude to students

Comment:

CH101 is hard no matter who you take. Georgiadis isn't the best professor, but she's completely fine. Most learning is done in discussion, and lecture is mostly to explain concepts before you apply them. She's completely acceptable, and I would rather take her for CH102 than Dil. You have to try to get a good grade, which people don't like.

The lectures were hard to follow and left me even more confused than when I got there. I went to office hours and was told I was going to fail (I guess she was right lol) also can be a little rude/condescending when helping.

Comment:

I'm a freshman and barely hanging on, enter this prof who takes up the whole lecture to ask two quiz questions and then not even bother to explain how she got the answer, following that she takes up the remainder of the time to explain or "talk about" some trivial/easy subject like the shape of a molecule...

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. Especially if you do not have a strong chemistry background. Plus office hours do not help.

CH101 is already a hard class but Georgiadis makes it even harder. I had to watch other professor's online lectures during the whole semester so I could understand the material.

She is not helpful at all. For someone who had credits for this class but still chose to take it anyways, I had difficulty understanding the things she taught. Very poor, not suitable to teach a complicated subject like chemistry.

Comment:

Good researcher, ok person, terrible prof. Problems with tech (mics and powerpoints) plagued literally every lecture, answers questions with questions, doesn't finish half her sentences, often says things that are incorrect and only realizes when called out. Maybe if you love chem and you're great at it you'll love her, but for anyone else-DON'T!

Comment:

She gets a bad rep. Is she the greatest professor? No. However, she does do a decent job of explaining concepts, if you pay attention. She tends to use verbal responses and hand motions to explain concepts, rather than drawing on the board; this is why some people do not like her teaching style. But she's just as good as Dill, if not better.

Comment:

She teaches very linearly, it's as easy to follow as chemistry can be, and she's funny! I have never once fallen asleep. She does not make fun of students for asking "stupid" questions, and tries to answer each question to its fullest extent. She explains concepts and starts students off before asking them to try and work through a problem.

Comment:

You'll see a lot of comments on here calling her a bad professor and I don't understand. I truly loved her as a professor and I am taking her next semester again for ch102. She pushes you to work hard but in the end it's worth it because when tests come around you know all the material. I think most people don't like her because she pushes students
