She is a good person and explains concepts fine. Just that she does give us a short amount of time to learn a lot of material in little time. Weekly quizzes and tests every three weeks. Labs every week too. Very hard class. You will need to dedicate a solid 10 hours or more each week to this class. Stay on top in the class for sure.

This is definitely a hard class, especially online. Be ready for a lot of assignments. Watch all the lectures and study a lot for tests. Ask for any clarification, she will get back to you. Nice and good professor, though I would wish she made her own lecture videos. But that is a minor detail as the lectures she uses are good. Good choice.

DONT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! She doesnt teach during her lectures and gives practice problems to "resemble" the exams but they arent similar to anything on the exams. Exams during online class are timed and you cant go back to questions after you are done or have any reflection on which ones you missed.

We take a quiz almost once every week and some of the practice stuff she gives us to "help" on the test does not prepare at all us for the quiz or exams. She has lecture videos in her modules but it isn't even her that is doing the recorded lecture. On top of this, she does not teach during her lecture times, instead she does 2 practice problems.

This class with take a toll on you mentally. Her practice tests are nothing like the actual tests at all, only like 5% of the practice test material is on the actual test. The amount of material thrown at you will make sure that you have no time for other classes except hers, and failing even one test can doom you. Avoid this class at all costs

Dr. Ricardez is good at responding to emails and wants to help. It was hard for me to keep up sometimes because she skips steps when working problems out sometimes, so it takes a second to understand where she got certain numbers from. Other than that, she is straight forward. No extra credit offered and no additional leniencies. Okay, overall.

DO NOT TAKE HER! I'm a straight A student and this class ruined me. She's horrible at responding questions and she never emails you back. Her lectures and practice exams are nothing like the exams. All of the practice sheets and worksheets that she makes you do, does not help at all. Save yourself the headache and the stress. Do not take her.

Her lectures are terrible and she is horrible when explaining topics especially when students have questions about it. Her practice exams don't compare to her actual tests (MUCH more difficult), and for the final she changed it from 20 questions to 37 questions and didn't tell her students till about 10:30 PM the night before the final. NO CURVES.

Comment:
She's the best at delta, if u wanna pass. The other's have horrible comments. Honestly, go to lecture and memorize how she teaches math(chem) problems, memorize formulas and small concepts. Do the worksheets for confidence even tho its nothing like exams, and ask questions- she will literally help to make u understand.

This class was pretty hard and the end of the semester really gets boring, but she is better than other chemistry professors. I wanted to take Chem 1B with her but she only teaches it in the fall.

I had Dr. Ricardez for Chem 3A, 1A, and 1B. She is very nice and caring. You need to pay attention in class, ask questions when you are slightly confused, do the practice problems she emails, and review. If you have questions she will help and she loves to do so. As long as you do what she says you will likely get an A or a B. Good Luck!

A really great professor. She hands out lecture notes in order for you to follow along. If you have trouble with the subject, don't wait until the last minute to study! Her tests are easy if you study the concepts as well as if you know how to do the calculations for the math problems. 4 Tests plus the final. Weekly Quizzes. Be there for the labs.

General Chem isn't an easy A class, but Dr. Ricardez tries to make it as easy to understand as possible. Receiving an A in the class is doable, but be ready to work for it. READ and PRACTICE daily. She emails the test practice problems beforehand, offers SI and tutoring; SEEK help as soon as you're lost and try not to fall behind. I recommend her!

The professor is nice, but isn't really good at teaching her material, we constantly use worksheets from other professors, and her test are confusing, get to to look over your test countless times, study guide only helps with around 10% of the real test, everything else you have to read the word problem over and over

Study guides are nothing like the exams, every question on the exam is tricky, doesn't teach very well, moves on with material very fast and expects everyone to know and be ready to be tested on it, Quizzes are very confusing, Tutoring barely helps, Get ready to hurt your GPA with this class.

Comment:
U need to know Calculus there is a lot of math involved nothing like chem1a. She drops 1quiz and quizzes only have 6 questions so you need to know everything. There is a lab exam she lets you use notes pick a good lab partner or you'll regret it trust me. Ask questions go to office hours. Test and quizzes are very hard and lots of tricky questions

Comment:
Professor Ricardez makes Chemistry understandable and is willing to help you out with any of it. I strongly recommend reading the book, doing the practice exams, and reviewing all quizzes before the exam. Lectures are also key to passing the class. Take note of what she says and review all examples given during lecture.

If you are not good in math do not take this class. Yes most of the topics are on youtube and they help. Go to office hours she lets you do study groups and she really helps her students. As long as you study her practice exam questions you should pass. The test are really difficult and tricky need to understand chemistry concept and Calculus.
