Comment:

Gen. chem 2 is not an easy subject, she really tries to break down the material as much as she can for you. Definitely go to SI whenever you can, itll help solidify some of the concepts. Youll have a quiz every week/every other week over a single chapter, reading quizzes, and group quizzes, which is nice because it gives your grade some cushion.

Comment:

She gives about 2 quizzes every week, one of which is a group quiz. The quizzes are to replace tests, but I'd much rather have a test once every four weeks like normal! Not to mention she gives hours worth of homework and when you ask questions in class like she tells you to, she is very condescending with her answers.

Comment:

Amazing professor especially for chem majors, helpful caring and she wants everyone to succeed and for chem majors to understand what the need for later classes. This class is fine as I said but it might be time consuming and needs a lot of attention, if your are taking lots of credits, maybe working and school; this is not the ride for you!

Comment:

Her class is fast-paced and hard to keep up with. If you want help you need to go to SI. Aleks in her class is nearly impossible to keep up with if you work and also have other classes and want to sleep. It's possible to pass but a ton of people fail. Her grading is harsh if she doesn't like you and Aleks doesn't go with the class so it's confusing

Very nice professor but very hard class. You never get a break and be prepared to spend a lot of time studying. Quizzes are at least once a week and exams are every other. She does offer extra credit. Only good thing about this class.

Lots of homework and assignments to do outside of class. A quiz or two about every week. Quizzes are not that hard if you understand material and show up to class.

Comment:

THE best chem prof at UCO! she is extremely organized and extremely helpful. Tons of bonus and opportunities for extra help. She makes her class so that you study/read a lot outside of class, but you do examples in class, and it's so worth it. Take her for chem 1 and 2!!

Frech is one of my favorite professors at UCO. She does give extra credit that will definately help you towards the end. Keep up with the bookwork and the eHW and you will do great! The team points fall into a large category whenever it comes to your final grade so be a inspirational leader. Chemistry is hard but she makes it interesting and doable

Took her for Chem 1&2 because she was so amazing. Really wants you to learn and understand. Is an amazing woman all together. She really made me push myself, but I'm a better student because of her. She also helped me find my own study method in order to be more successful. She's my favorite professor and I'd take her again in a heartbeat!!

I had her for lab and then professionalism in chemistry. She is really helpful and considerate. Consulting and asking questions in her office is always very welcomed. She is also quite efficient in correcting lab reports and replying emails.

Great teacher who does a good job making sure you understand the material. That being said, she has very high standards and grades tests and quizzes harshly.

Dr. Frech makes you work for it but it's worth it. You will know the material and be ready for the next step. Do not jump into her class if you're going to try and skate. It won't work and she will treat you like someone who is wasting her time.

Dr. Frech is a great professor. She is very passionate about her class. I would recommend taking her if you get the choice. I haven't took Chemistry since 2013, but I learned so much in her class. She is a tough grader(DO NOT FORGET SIG FIGS!!!!), but she gives plenty of opportunity to pass her class. Go to class! Take notes! Do the book work!

Comment:

Dr. Frech is an amazing professor. Always willing to help when you go to her with issues regarding the material. My advice to you would be to do the problems in the back of the book - they are exactly like the mastery quizzes you will receive - and to read each chapter assigned as thoroughly as you can.

You're going to have to study and do extra work if you want to do well in Chemistry. It's a difficult class. But Frech has been a great teacher and gives you tons of opportunities to learn the material. She goes over problems in class and explains things well and is very encouraging. She also gave chances for extra credit and to retake 2 quizzes.

Comment:

Mrs. Frech is really nice but her class is really hard. She gives a lot of homework & its just a pain in the butt to do. There are extra credit opportunities & she lets you retake two quizzes. I wouldn't take her unless you're majoring in Chemistry. It is really tough to get an A in her class. She also makes you work in teams :/

Comment:

Hardest A I've ever earned. You have to have the textbook read before every single class, have to do every bit of online homework AND bookwork or you don't stand a chance on the seven quizzes (no exams). If you want to REALLY learn the material, take her, but don't expect an A unless you study several hours a week, sometimes up to 10-15

Comment:

The thing I hated most about her class is that she had you read the chapter ahead of time and would give you a quiz on it before lecturing about it, which obviously caused me and a lot of other people to do bad. If I took the quiz grades out of my grade, I probably would have gotten an A. Overall I liked her and would take her again.

Comment:

I had her for Chem I and II, I absolutely love her. She is very straight forward. If you want an A will have to work and study a lot. Tests are easy if you actually stayed focus during lecture and do some practice work outside of class. The class is fun, if you have lab with someone else, be prepared because she is behind most of them.

I actually really enjoyed Frech. She teaches a tough subject but she does examples in class and if you pay attention and take notes you'll do great. Read for the reading quizzes and it'll help you a lot for the quizzes and the final. Also do the book work that is optional. The quizzes are just like the examples in class in the book work.
