The good thing is that she doesn't take attendence or count tardies so you can show up late. She's really understanding and will work with you to make sure you do well. There are plenty of SI sessions and she has problem sessions before her exams. Depending upon whether it's needed or not she uses a curve.
If you do avoid showing up, Lecture notes are placed online and the course books is available online too. These are es |

| course comments : | It's required and basically an extension of high school chem but more in depth. It obviously gets harder as the semester progresses but...thats all classes. I love chemistry so i found it interesting...but many probably won't. |

| instructor comments : | She was a terrible teacher!!! i wouldnt recommend her to ANYONE. She lectures (if thats what you call it) way too fast and she just likes to play with pictures off the internet and show models. She has no notes and uses mrs.sandbergs powerpoint. She doesnt explain things and just says "It's in the book" So if you like to read and outline books for your own enjoyment and like to get everything on your own...get her as a teacher. However, her tests come straight from the webassigns and aren't |

| course comments : | Required course - sorry I can't say that what you've heard isn't true, but it is: this is a weed-out course |
| class : | Fall 2003 section 002 |
| grade received : | F |
| class rating : | 1 - Bad |
| class comments : | You'd better be willing to dedicate many, many hours outside of class to mastery of the material, because it won't happen during lecture. 2 to 3 webassigns per week (these can really bring your grade up). Go to class, because she has in-class questions that you have to input into webassign (going is the only way to get these). Exams are fairly difficult, but there's nothing on them you haven't seen before. Go to SI. |
| instructor : | Petrovich |
| instructor rating : | 0 - Horrible |
| instructor comments : | There's material in the course that she admits to not being able to explain adequately (at least she admits it). Not student-oriented in the slightest. Grades fairly, but thats about the only positive. Not recommended |

| instructor comments : | Petrovich was a great teacher for the material. All though she lectures like she's hooked up to a caffene IV, her enthusiasm keeps the class awake and makes Chem bearable... She's very fair in grading and extremely helpful outside and inside of the classroom....I would HIGHLY recommend her. |

| class comments : | She's a decent teacher but it's a huge class and lots of times you get people sitting around you who have been in it 3 times and still continue to be obnoxious, or you get the kids who shouldn't be in 101 who ruin the curve. |

| instructor comments : | She's ok. Actually incorporates attendance and HW well into grades and give you bonuses. Her tests though are always a bit different than what you studied for :-( However, she is prompt with grading and willing to talk to you about questions etc. |

| class comments : | Fairly easy class. Generous attendence policy, something like you only had to be at 2/3 of the lectures. She did a lot of demos in class, which were pretty cool. The book for this class is pretty terrible, and you'll get a whole lot more from the online book or from the lecture. |

| instructor comments : | Willing to answer any questions, allows questions during lecture, and will stick around after to help you when you need it. Very fair grading on tests, and gets them back FAST! She's got a good sense of humor and it shows in class. Overall, Petrovich is a good prof. |
