Lindsay Repka
Professor Repka is an incredibly nice person. She's a bit awkward but a solid lecturer. Sometimes she will take a little bit too much time trying to make sure everyone understands something and will fall behind on material. She's super accommodating of whatever needs you have. I took this class during COVID year and exams were take home and not all that hard.
Lindsay is a gem of a human and is very understanding of any situation in which you may need an extension. Her teaching is very lecture-based, which for Organic Chemistry, is not necessarily the best thing. She focuses heavily on how to write scientific papers and leaves the practice for doing mechanisms outside of class. This means that you will spend most of lecture not taking many notes and kind of wondering what's going on, and then feeling frustrated when trying to do the weekly problem set because you haven't actually walked through the mechanisms needed to complete the assignment.

Much luck most of the other course Lindsay teaches, she goes at a relatively relaxed pace. While there is a good bit of work outside class, it all helps teach core understanding. Frankly, she could move a little faster through material but I'm not complaining
