Michele Dube

As far as the lecture portion goes, I loved AJ and she made class as interesting as Chem 104 could be. She made her exams super simple and similar to homework or class problems, especially the midterm. The final was graded incredibly generously, and AJ was the best. The lecture portion is a would take again, as well as very easy. However, the lab was brutal. Michele is unfriendly and stern. If you want to do well on the labs, you have to meet with her and your TA and learn how to formulate a really strong lab report just the way Michele likes it. She is not afraid to knock off points for tiny little details, and those add up. My best advice is to start the lab reports early and go meet with her and your TA as often as possible. Don't expect her to sugarcoat anything or be friendly in those meetings though. She will sound really judgmental and mean in her feedback.

Dube's grading is authoritative and punitive, she grades for formatting more than understanding. You could include all of the information in a lab report and still score a C on it because it wasn't repeated 6 different times in 6 different places. AJ was a very good lecture professor, really just didn't love Dube.

Professor Dube scares me a little. She’s nice one day and the next she’s making passive aggressive jokes when the class doesn’t answer. The labs are fun tho and she’s helpful during lab. Pre lab work is a little time consuming but not bad. She goes over what you have to do in lab before we start anyway. Lab reports are long and tedious. Way more specific than Bio classes I’ve taken or Physics classes. They take a couple days to complete if you want to do well on them.
