I love Dr. Cole. Just attend class, take good notes, and ask for help if you need it. She is very clear on how to pass this class. No tricks from this one.

Dr. Cole is a great teacher. Things to know: Her class is based on tests only, don't skip her recitations, test are difficult, and you need to put effort into her class outside of the classroom. She cares about her students, she is very kind and willing to help. You have to be responsible, and should be studying everyday while in her class.

Very clear explanations and examples of problems. Expectations clearly stated and reasonable. Must be willing to put effort in outside of lecture. Class lectures and examples were so thorough and inclusive of exam material that I never had to use the book.

It is true that grades are based off exams only. But, she goes over the material clearly and lots of in class examples are worked on so that you understand. She is very nice and goes out of her way to ensure you succeed, PROVIDED YOU DO YOUR PART AND PUT EFFORT INTO IT. This isn't Halloween where A's are given like candy to kids. Earn your grade!

Extremely tough grader on partial credit on exams, but presents ideas in lecture clearly with lots of examples. Grade is solely based on exams, homwork isn't turned in. The class isn't difficult if you go to all the lectures and take notes!

the grade in this class is entirely based off of exam grades- no hw, reccitation, quizzes. i worked SO hard but didnt do well in this class. so if you dont do well on tests, take Chem with stewart or rowe! i wish i had- she doesnt even put up her power points online. so unhelpful.

Literally the worst teacher I've had (and I'm a sophomore in college). Sorry, not teacher- DOCTOR. She doesn't like teaching, doesn't like students, and doesn't care about us. I've never worked so hard in a class in my life, and I'm still not going to pass. Also, I LIKE chemistry. Do NOT take her classes.

the strictest grader I have ever had. Helpful during office hours but rude in class. forces students to do problems on the board in front of huge lecture classes. If you have to take this class and aren't already a chem genius TAKE IT WITH SOMEONE ELSE!!!

Absolute worst professor i have had and hopefully will ever have. Incredibly strict grader and most students recieved 30s and 40s on exams. She was very rude about it and i was never stressed about a class as much as i was in her class. Avoid her!

Very difficult and rude person.Exams are very hard as she is an incredibly strict grader.Gives no partial credit even if there is only a minuscule mistake and if there is so much to needed to be memorized.Online homework is a pain because if the answer is missing anything it will mark it wrong and you will be clueless as to what is wrong.

Comment:
She is rude and not very helpful at all. If you ask a question she'll struggle to answer it and end up saying the same thing that made you ask the question in the first place. Warning, you will receive zero credit for actually showing work rather than doing her stupid one-line multiplication with fractions method.

Horrible teacher. Very uninspiring. A job for a proffesor is to help us but she just spends more time telling us how horrible we are! Tests are nearly impossible to pass unless you are perfect which no body is. Dont take chem with her!Most of us are failing!

She was probably one of the harder teachers for this course but if you payed attention, took notes, and did the homework you should be able to get a B. All you need is the notes in order to do the homework. I hardly opened the book. Practice tests are really helpful and similar to actual tests.
