Comment:

She spent about the first hour of the lab talking about the experiment, and labs almost always went over. (These are hard labs that needed a fair bit of explaining, and whoever made the manual should've made them shorter because they cannot be done in 3 hours) She was helpful whenever I had a question, and she's a nice person. Strict grader.

Comment:

I went to sleep in her class everyday and still passed her class with flying colors. I did not read the book, I didn't take notes, and I did not pay attention to her. The hardest part of the class was the lab which was really fun.

She's a very hard teacher that doesn't put up with any excuses. She loves to help people, though so if you go to her office and ask for help and attend class...she does pretty good with you.

Comment:

Mrs. Claggett is a great instructor. She's very helpful and is willing to help you if you go to her and ask. The lab is a class in itself but it is very interesting and I enjoyed it. It is hard and a lot of work, but if I can do then you can too.

Comment:

Ms. Claggett is a good teacher, but Chemistry is a hard course. I made a good grade in there, but it requires A LOT OF READING the book to simply understand. I think she is a great person, but Chemistry is just a hard subject period. I would still recommend her though.

Comment:

If she picks on you, it is because you are stupid. And as for her being "weak-minded" I doubt more than 1 or 2 kids that have ever passed through USCS are smarter than her.

Comment:

Very rude and self centered teacher. Her entire attitude is based the fact that she is better than the students. She doesn't know the labs, she just makes the student copy them. Weak winded, unhappy lady! STAY AWAY.

Comment:

Mrs. Claggett only helps those who make an A on the first test. Everyone else she just looks for you to get it on your own. Not very good at explaining things. Gives a lot of unneccessary lab work.

Comment:

Ms. Claggett is not a good teacher. She helps the people who make A's on the first test. If you don't make that A don't look for her to help you much. When she lectures she will confuse you, won't answer questions. Avoid at all costs.

Very rude, not very helpful. Gives ridiculously difficult prelab work. Take my advice and get Rick Kruger instead. The class average for her midterm exam was a 63.
