Key questions
Is this an easy A?
A grades are possible, but students repeatedly say chemistry, tests, quizzes, and participation require real work.
Online evidence says grading is tough, while in-person evidence says students can do well by attending, doing homework, and studying.
Is the course easy?
The material is chemistry-heavy, sometimes rushed, and supported by difficult tests and weekly quizzes.
The online review gives little content detail, while in-person reviews consistently describe CHEM141 as challenging but manageable.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance appears important because lectures are not PowerPoint-based and one review says missing class affects work and lab participation.
In-person evidence clearly points to attendance importance, while the single online review does not establish attendance policy.
Is this professor recommended?
Students recommend her for help and care but hesitate because grading and exams can be demanding.
Online evidence is negative, while in-person evidence is more favorable but still notes difficulty.
