Comment:
She is literally the worst. Do not take her. If you have no other choice and she is the only Chem 132 teacher left, just rethink your undergrad plan. Only take her if you can teach yourself. Unorganized and does not give feedback. I would have given her grace but she is genuinely a terrible professor.

Comment:
She doesn't give feedback or let you see what you got wrong on quizzes. This is especially a problem because she has made mistakes grading. She gets annoyed when students ask questions. I basically taught myself using the online homework and book.

Comment:
She yelled at students when asked any questions, and always had mistakes in her quizzes and practice problems she went over in class. She was not clear in lecture, would rarely respond to email. She only let us see some quizzes and because she always made mistakes it left us wondering if our grades were correct. only take if ready to teach yourself

Comment:
Lectures were riddled with mistakes, annoyed sighs at any question, and a bad internet connection. Refused to acknowledge her poor internet connection even though her RECORDED lectures had plenty of evidence. Make sure you check your graded work because she's careless and makes mistakes on everything. Easy class if you read the text and practice

Comment:
Taken during COVID, she's too unaccustomed to online learning. Assignments were graded harshly, we got 0 feedback, and we didn't finish all the syllabus assignments due to her negligence. Had very little sympathy for students, answered questions with annoyed sighs and insults. Learned mostly through Pearson study modules & the textbook.

Comment:
Your grade is based on one exam, weekly quizzes, recitations, and homework. The professor flies through lecture slides, but lecture recordings are posted. She makes a lot of mistakes in class and can be rude to students. We had to fight for extra credit that was in the syllabus. If you have the option, you might want to choose someone else.

I took her during the fall while covid was happening and she was not helpful at all. She taught it like we had been it for 20 years like she had. I had to teach myself, not sympathetic about mistakes on her end. Argued with students.

Professor Ladon was not a terrible professor but she was a little disorganized. She was not great at answering questions when asked and she was a little passive-aggressive. I suggest you study every chance you get and complete all the practices!

Comment:
Not accessible outside of class. She rarely answers emails, missed many office hours without giving notice, and does not post most grades. The tests and quizzes were very error prone so make sure you check all of your assignments. However, she makes it extremly difficult to do so. The class was much easier before we transitioned to online though.

Comment:
Professor Ladon is very caring, but she can be a bit off. She is very disorganized and often misplaces a lot. I really enjoy how she handwrites all of her notes on a projector, but her handwriting could be better. Just study for her exams and do the homework and you should be straight

Comment:
For exams, be familiar with all problems covered in class, and know how to manipulate equations and logarithms to solve for any variable. To do well, practice problems are absolutely necessary -- the more, the better. The final was hard, so be careful about relying on final forgiveness. I found her intimidating, but she's a fast and fair grader.

She is very unclear in lectures. She doesn't use blackboard at all and if you want to know your grade you have to go into her office with her to calculate it. Email her, she probably won't reply. As if she's against technology. The textbook will really be your lifesaver as well as the online study modules and Pearson homework. Drops lowest quiz.

She is a fair grader and tells you what you need to know for the exams. She can be a little rough around the edges but overall is a good professor and teaches the material in a manner where everyone can understand. As long as you study and practice for the exams, the class is not that bad.

She knows what she is talking about in chemistry, but honestly she is the type of teacher that assumes you get it really fast. She is super nice but a little unorganized. If you go to her after class she will definitely explain it to you which works better for me since I feel like throughout lectures she would rush.

Honestly this wasn't a bad professor at all. She does not follow the syllabus because she asks the students their opinions on when tests/homework should be due. She teaches quickly but is open for questions and use the chem extra help center!

DO NOT take this class if you're in chem 121. The professor is not good at teaching that class. She is disorganized and does not go off the syllabus. The tests are ridiculously hard and you would get a much better grade taking Van Huizen. My lab partner is in VH's class and is much better prepared for everything.

Ms. Ladon is very helpful, she also runs the tutoring center. For a hard class like chem131, she breaks the material down very well although she tends to go off track sometimes. The exams are very straightforward and direct, there wont be anything you didnt learn. The four exams basically make up your grade. B in the class.
