General Chemistry II

AJ is wonderful. She is super enthusiastic about what she is teaching. She is fast-paced in her lectures, but she is more than open to reaching out to students and always answering questions. The course involves reading a few sections of the textbook every week, completing a weekly problem set, engaging and applicable lectures, and two exams (midterm and final). I felt more than welcome while speaking and asking AJ questions outside of class as well. She is always there to help you. She may be busy but utilize her office hours. Office hours were super helpful for clarification. Overall, I would suggest any person (stem or not) take this course with AJ.

AJ is not the best lecturer. They often seemed a little disorganized and all over the place and were sometimes hard to follow. That being said, AJ is literally the nicest person ever and her tests are easy. Dube is a tough grader and the labs are a lot of work but she is very smart. I think she was an analytical chemist too.

AJ was an awesome lecturer, all of the material she presented was very clear. There are only 2 exams (both are a large portion of your overall grade) but they are pretty representative of the problem sets assigned for homework. The problem sets are graded online which is nice, and gives you unlimited redos at a only small expense of the grade. Overall this was a very fair class and a great intro to chem.

I really enjoy Professor Vasiliou's enthusiasm when she teaches this course. With a relatively larger class size, I never felt intimidated to ask questions during class or reach out to her. The only downside would be getting in touch through email—she's incredibly busy, understandably so, and rarely responds to emails in a timely manner.

I took chem 104 with Dovey and found it to be fairly straightforward. While chem 103 focuses more on chemistry concepts, 104 was math-based which I liked. The exams all were reminiscent of the homework assignments so I felt prepared going into them. That being said, exams were out of very few points so any errors, even when partial credit was given, would significantly impact your overall grade. Lab was definitely the hardest part of this class.

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.

My lab professor, Professor Dube, had very specific standards and expectations for lab reports, including how they should look and be organized. In my opinion, they were a little too strict. I often went to TA office hours for help with the lab reports and found other students and even some TAs were confused as to what she wanted. This lab did have more homework than STEM labs I've taken before. Professor Vasiliou was an engaging lecturer and I enjoyed her lectures more so than other lectures. The tests were challenging but fair.

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.
