Comment:
Dr. Groh is incredible as a professor and advisor, but she doesn't go light on any course. I had CHEM 111 and 112. Those courses felt like getting gut punched repeatedly for two semesters, and 2/3 of the students who entered dropped out of the major, but I came out of it so much more knowledgeable and prepared for the future courses my major has.

Comment:
Dr. Groh was one of my favorite professors. Her class was extremely difficult, and I wish I had put in the time to go see her during office hours to get help. She cares about her students and puts in so much effort. Original test material so you NEED to study. One of the most caring profs and I wish I could take her again.

Comment:
The class is difficult not because the professor is bad, but because the material is challenging. That being said, the quality of lectures is very good, lots of study materials and it is defiantly possible to do well with effort. Do not blow off problem sets and be ready to form study groups. Exams are hard, but doable. Very good honors class.

Comment:
If chemistry is part of your major, or you enjoy it, have Groh as a professor! The class cycles every three weeks with the first being no assignments, the second having a problem set due, and the third having an exam. Problem sets are difficult and time consuming but you're allowed to work together. Extremely helpful for problem solving skills.

Susan Groh is as good as you can hope for from an introductory chemistry course. She gives such a good overview of the material that you'll need for the next years, and it's a joy if you enjoy chemistry. Terribly hard, but you can work for it and pass.

Incredibly difficult but sincerely intelligent and caring. If you want a comprehensive chemistry background, this is the class to take. Be prepared to work. Her point recapture system is the best mechanism for ensuring that you learn and retain all the material in the class. Fair grader.

Just like in the fall, Prof. Groh was outstanding. When not discussing important chemistry principles, Groh went into great detail about real-world applications of the concepts. Still, CHEM112 was a very challenging class; be prepared to invest lots of time into problem sets, making orgo flashcards, reviewing discussion keys, and etc. Great course!

Groh was one of the highlights of my Freshman fall, and if every class was taught with her level of attention and care I don't doubt I could learn anything. She loves chemistry, and the only thing that she cares about more are her students learning. Still, get ready to work. Yes she curves. Yes people still got F's. It's not easy, but it's worth it

Even if you had a strong background in AP chemistry, this class is a nightmare. If you don't immediately retain everything from her dense lectures, you will spend hours upon hours on the homework and studying for exams. All grades except the final include partial credit, which is lenient and is the only reason why I passed. Very demanding class.

Wonderful professor; has a real wealth of knowledge. She gives really interesting lectures. Groh is very accommodating of the needs of the students and is a fantastic resource. Her class, while very challenging, is also incredibly rewarding. The problem sets and exams should not be taken lightly.

Dr. Groh is the best professor I've ever had! She really cares about her students and it's obvious that she truly enjoys teaching freshmen. She's patient, understanding, brilliant, funny, and she really wants her students to succeed; not just in her class but in every aspect of their lives. She's such a wonderful woman!

Comment:
Material may appear straightforward, but the exams and problem sets extend well beyond lectures -- be prepared to WORK and STUDY. The exams are very tough, perhaps too tough for an introductory chemistry class designed for first-year students. It may be best to take the non-Honors section and ease into the coursework of freshman year.

My best professor. She's so caring and gives students food during her office hours and exams. Her lectures are amazing and cannot be skipped; the amount of material covered per lecture is high. Class is super fast-paced and the exams test you on EVERYTHING you learn. Her problems are very good. With her classes, you'll be prepared for future chem!

The most caring teacher I have ever had. She really wants the students to learn. If you need extra help, go to office hours and she will make sure that you understand. The exams are the hardest exams I have ever taken, the first one will end you. However, if you really put the work in and go to extra help, you will see that hard work pays off.

TAKE THIS CLASS. I had the opportunity to take chem classes beyond the scope of AP Chem in high school, but Dr. Groh's class gave me a broader and more in depth understanding of chemistry than all of those classes combined. My only regret is that I won't be able to take another class with her after CHEM112H. Oh, and do your problem sets early!

Groh is truly a wonderful professor who loves to teach and seriously cares about her students. The class is hard as hell with very long problem sets and the exams are easily harder than anything you have ever taken in high school. Unless you have a lot of experience with chemistry don't take the class. But if you have her, get ready to study HARD.

A really tough course especially if your Chemistry background is not entirely strong. Professor Groh is very knowledgeable and willing to help you understand the content covered in class as much as possible. Exams are difficult but manageable with intensive review and Problem Sets are really difficult. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!!
