The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Getting an A appears difficult because students report hard tests, heavy studying, and harsh or limited partial credit.
All evidence comes from in-person chemistry reviews.
Is the course easy?
The chemistry material is demanding, and several students say they needed outside resources or hard studying to understand it.
Only in-person reviews are available, and they consistently frame the course content as challenging.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is not described as strictly mandatory, but reviews say lectures, labs, and practice are important for avoiding surprises.
Attendance evidence appears only in in-person reviews and is indirect.
Is this professor recommended?
Students recommend her only conditionally because she is helpful, but her teaching clarity, exams, and grading are inconsistent.
All recommendation evidence is from in-person reviews with sharply mixed opinions.

High confidence · Best fit for Effort For Reward
In-person reviews show a demanding chemistry instructor who can be helpful, but whose tests and explanations frustrate many students.
Main concern
Hard exams, confusing explanations, and harsh partial credit are the main risks.
What students said
“You have to use a lot of outside resources to fully comprehend the material she is covering.”
“Tests aren't incredibly hard but she is very harsh with partial credit.”

The exam experience is strict because students report hard tests, confusing finals, and harsh partial-credit policies, while specific book or proctoring rules are not proved.
Assessment risk
Strict
32/100
Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person exam comments support hard tests and limited partial credit, but do not clearly prove open-book, closed-book, proctoring, or software rules.
“I was worried because there were basically only 3 tests all quarter.”
“her finals are confusing and she gives no partial credit.”
