CHEM0203 with Lindsay Repka7 days ago

Honestly, it wasn't that bad. I was really scared going into this course, but Lindsay Repka is by far the kindest professor I have ever encountered. Her lectures were a bit confusing at first, but she does have a very predictable (positive connotation) format: review the very short, multiple choice review assignment from the night before, then go over the content for the day. She is even organized in the way that she splits the chalkboard during the lecture. She teaches by showing general concepts, and then examples of their application, which was always super productive for me. In terms of assignments, it was kind of a cake walk. We had JiTT, which is a google form that is filled out before each lecture. That is the very short multiple choice assignment I mentioned earlier. Then there's SmartWork, which is due weekly and typically has 8-12 questions that give active feedback and can be redone for partial credit. She does bi-weekly problem sets which are challenging, but if you go to the TA hours you basically get spoon-fed answers and great explanations. Plus, time spent on the problem set is time spent studying for the exam. Her exam format is identical and questions similar to the problem set. This semester, she did take home exams which was nice. The final is in person though. Lab was also easy and fun. Overall, super chill and good. Would highly recommend taking this hard course with her because she makes it very doable.

CHEM0104 with AJ Vasiliou13 days ago

Take this course with AJ—its as simple as that. AJ was incredibly accommodating and placed emphasis on her students learning the material rather than charging ahead with more content. AJ saved me from dropping out of chemistry as a whole with her pedagogy. HIGHLY recommend.

CHEM0103 with Kristina Shrestha14 days ago

The course it self was very difficult but O struggled more with Shrestha's teaching style. She was very approachable during office hours and would help explain 10x better but it was a must to go to office hours to better understand.
