Kristina Shrestha
Shrestha doesn't deserve all the hate. Her teaching style is hard to follow sometimes because lectures aren't super clear. Office hours are very helpful and try to get to know here and this will make the course easier.
She wasn't a helpful lecturer and she made mistakes when she explaining stuff. However, there's a lot of video online that you can learn from. And I did a lot of self-studying and the problems set in the book is also helpful
I had to take this course as a prerequisite for my major, but I disliked both the material and the teaching style. Prof Shrestha is very kind one-on-one and cares about the subject, but her lectures are confusing and disorganized, and she struggles to communicate ideas clearly. You're better off just relying on the textbook. Despite its introductory label, this course is not structured toward people without a background in chemistry. If you are constantly on top of homework, do all the reading, and attend office hours often, it is possible to get a good grade.
