Pop quizzes where more about memorizing and not about the concepts we were learning. At some points, we would be doing labs on things we had not yet learned.

Julie is probably one of the sweetest, most kind, and caring human beings on the planet. She is incredibly patient and understanding of her students. The labs are easy to prepare for and the only real way to lose marks is by having small math mistakes throughout your lab reports.

Dr. Lunniss made the monotony of general chemistry so much more bearable. She gives good feedback after each lab report and does an excellent job of explaining concepts. Definitely the best chemistry prof I've had so far. Would highly recommend!

Julie is such a sweetheart. Throughout the labs she is more than happy to help you work through any questions you have. She teaches you to problem solve instead of just giving you the answer. She's super friendly and obviously cares a lot about her students. She made my first year CHEM 121 and CHEM 126 labs way less stressful and more fun!

So kind and caring! Julie is a true teacher at heart. Great at leading students to answers and was very clear. Lab was the best part of 121, an otherwise extremely difficult course.

Julie Lunniss was an excellent lab prof. I was never great at lab but I ended up getting a decent mark in her class. Very informative and nice when you ask for help. Practical exam was easy as heck and very manageable to get perfect on. Final was a little harder but if you study the lab manual you shouldn't struggle too much

Julie was a really good lab instructor. She is great at leading students to the answers without giving them directly. I frequently went to office hours and found them very helpful. The labs are well thought out and fairly marked. She is kind and understanding but not a pushover.

ok, so shes a pretty nice person, but she doesnt give you anything outside LonCAPA to prep. And for labs 5,7,8,9 the stuff doesnt even relate to what's taught in 122. Shes approachable for help, but it isnt worth taking with her. I would reccomend taking 126 with James Zhou because he apparently prepares students more for labs, and its relatable.

Julie has been my favorite professor since I've been at SFU, she is so sweet, and engaged with her students. I often times skip going to the TA's and went straight to Julie as she was able to guide you towards the correct answer. I thoroughly enjoyed the labs with Julie.

Julie is a very sweet individual and very accessible outside of lab for help. You can always feel free to ask her questions anytime, if the TAs don't know anything. Make sure to stay on top of LONCAPA as most of the lab reports are similar to those questions. You also switch partners a fair bit.

Lunniss is a great lab instructor, she is very approachable and really does want her students to understand the material. My TA was a hot mess, so I often went to Julie if I needed to ask a question and got As on most of the lab reports. The labs often do have pop quizzes with a very short time limit, so doing the LONCAPA assignments is a must.

A super sweet person, she was always more than willing to answer any of my questions no matter how dumb. She didn't always give the exact answer, but put me on track to find it myself, which was great. Really nice atmosphere in this class. But do be ready for pop quizzes.

She is the reason why I love chem labs. yes, they can be stressful at times, but she is always there to help, not to criticize. She is so approachable, and she is not out there to make sure that you all get a low mark, but she really pushes us to the best of our ability. I honestly was so satisfied with this class. Hands down best class this sem.

Dr. Lunniss is really sweet! Her prelab lectures are nice and short AND they help you with the lab report if you didn't understand something from the LONCAPA. Sometimes the LONCAPA assignments were a pain so don't leave those last minute, final exam was pretty much the exact same as the prelab.

She is pretty nice. But her tests are so messed up, she loves memorizing. She made us memorize the periodic table. I wouldnt recommend her.
