Comment:
I absolutely loved Dr. Bates. She is amazingly nice, even though her lectures can be boring. She is also very knowledgeable and always willing to help when you aren't understanding something. Her exams are hard, but definitely manageable. I never used the book, I relied solely on her notes.

Comment:
She's a nice lady, but does not do much to keep your interest. Also, she does not seem to like answering questions in class. Half the time when questions were asked, her answer would be, "I don't know. I'll have to look that up." No one was ever given the answers to those questions.

Comment:
Dr. Bates does not keep lecture interesting, but she does give good notes if you pay attention. To be successful, you should do the homework and look at the old quizzes that she posts online. Her quizzes are harder than some of the other professor's quizzes, but you can drop 2 of them. The exams were difficult because very limited time was given.

Comment:
Pretty good professor. Her quizzes are okay, but she expects you to know more conceptual stuff than she teaches. Great at explaining the math though. I should have put more work in this class, but I thought that since I took AP chem in HS, I would be awesome. Do the homework if you want a good grade.

Comment:
Bates is very easy and helpful. I took AP Chem in high school, and I don't think I learned one new thing all semester, but it was just GenChem1. I very rarely did the optional problems for each chapter, and that was the only reason I ever opened the book. Take Bates as long as you can stay awake!

Bates isn't a bad professor to have for Gen Chem, other than the fact that she puts you to sleep. It's not her fault...it's Gen Chem.

Dr. Bates is one of the better Gen Chem teachers. My only complaint is that she's a little boring. Tests are like every other test in the department, so they aren't her fault.

Great professor. Notes are easy to take and understand. However, she can be really dull during lecture and can put you to sleep! Always willing to help you. Would highly recommend!

Dr. Bates is a very good teacher. she knows what she's talking about. Downside: lectures are really boring and her quizzes can be really hard. On the bright side, she is very helpful and explains stuff really well. Also, he midterms/exams tend to be easier than the quizzes.

Bates is not as good of a teacher as people made her up to be. Her lectures are boring and I love chemistry but I just could not stay awake. Her quizzes vary in difficulty and the exams aren't hard or easy.

Dr. Bates was an extremely wonderful chemistry professor. I've only had one other chemistry compare to how much I enjoyed Dr. Bates' class. Would highly recommend her.
