If you enjoy reading off of a PowerPoint, then you'll enjoy her class. She's very sweet towards her students and is always willing to help. Make sure to do the labs! When it comes to labs, she's not an easy grader and they're worth a lot of points. If you don't keep up with all the work, it's easy to fall behind.

I've taken chem 101 and 120 with this professor and both times she was great. She always tries her best to make sure the students understand what she is teaching. She definitely makes you work for your grade as her tests and quizzes are pretty hard. Of course she always offers extra help for those who need it. I definitely recommend this professor.

Dr. Harper is amazing! The best professor I have taken at AVC. She is really caring towards her students and is really helpful when you have any questions. Chemistry is a tough subject though so you need to study and make sure you do the homework. She gives a total of 4 tests and extra credit towards the end of the semester. Overall 10/10 class!

Professor Harper is the sweetest person and she really is there for you to succeed. Her teaching skills are great but Chemistry can get confusing, especially towards the end of the semester. She is very helpful and has a lot of office hours. I 100% recommend her for chemistry 101. 4 exams and homework assignments for each chapter. Solid choice.

She's really patient and explains things as many times as needed, so be sure to go to office hours. Do the online chem homework at least 2x before the quizzes and study guides 3x before tests, or you won't get an A. Be sure not to procrastinate; study at least 1.5 hours a day. The topics don't build off each other; study for each chapter separately

Professor Harper is a super sweet professor, who really wants to see you learn. If you participate, she gets really excited about helping you. That being said, Chemistry 120 is a hard class, no matter who's teaching it; don't expect an easy A. If you want to pass, do the hw twice before taking quizzes/tests. Go to office hours at least once a week.

jessica has a very mild disposition, but do not let that fool you because the severe nature of her test will wreck you. sometimes i think she uses her tests as a means to release her pent up aggression. you have to REALLY know ur stuff, especially how to apply what youve learn. also!! be thorough on ur labs because she will grade them thoroughly.

Dr. Harper is a very nice lady, however her class is no joke. Start reading the textbook from day one, because her tests are a different breed. The way she makes them makes you really think about how everything relates to one another so you NEED to know your stuff. Other than that I cry myslef to sleep becuse of this class. Super nice though.

Professor Harper is a very nice lady, but when it comes to her teaching style its very unclear she faces the board and is quite and tries to be funny but mainly just stands and stairs if no one answers I didnt understand anything she taught whatsoever and not my preferred professor. If you like studying on your own go ahead and take her

Dr. Harper is the most caring person youll ever meet. However, I was not a fan of her lecture style. She does try her best but shes not a good explainer is unconfident in her answers leading you to not fully trust her explanation. She is accessible outside of class and will always try her best to help. Just be prepared to do a lot of studying.

If I had to take another chem class I would definitely pick her! She was very clear with her lectures and gives study guides for all the tests that really help you get prepared! She is great at helping you understand things you dont understand and very positive! She is so sweet! Definitely my favorite teacher at AVC so far!

To excel you have to put in the work. Dr Harper cares for the students and expects them to put 100% into their work. You don't get something for free. she's a great teacher and person.

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Harper, however the class itself is difficult. The tests are hard. Labs are interesting and fun. Homework is online. Overall, this was a tough class but its not impossible. You will work for your grade.

Dr. Harper is a very kind and sweet woman. She is extremely helpful and forgiving towards her students. The class itself is tough and rigorous, so the best thing to do is see her during office hours to clear up any confusion. Also, go to her SI sessions and do the homework! Otherwise, if you're willing to learn, she's willing to teach you!

She's such a sweet professor, she has so much enthusiasm and charisma and really cares about her students learning. That being said, she is not an easy A. You only need 70% to get full credit for a skills quiz (41% of the grade) but they are hard and they really challenge you. But she is always willing to help and gives you chances to succeed.

Dr. Harper is the sweetest woman. With that said, I & many others struggled heavily in this class with her teaching style. People who did well read a LOT to master/learn the material or were self proclaimed "natural chemists". Her slides would be MUCH more helpful if they had answers (not just questions) on them. She wants her students to succeed.

You'll learn a lot from her class but oooooo homegirl is not playing NO GAMES. Her grading critique is insane and is very strict when it comes to labs, tests, and so on. If you're up for the challenge then take her.
