CHEM 1200
CHEMISTRY II
Pros: Teaches what needs to be learned for Chemistry II as though you already know all the things that come before. Is willing to answer questions
Cons: If you didn't know a particular subject from earlier chemistry she gets angry. If you ask about a chemistry topic she considers too easy she dismisses you with "you should have learned that in high school."
I don't think she's teaching anymore since she had a baby

CHEM 1100
CHEMISTRY I
Pros: Great at teaching, would do demo experiments to keep us interested(actually made 8AM Chemistry worth doing), knew the course material, did example problems & also related material to what we did in lab. Always kept us up to date on tests, HW due dates, etc.
Cons: Nothing. Best teacher I've had at RPI so far. The problems I had w/the class weren't her fault.

Do the homeworks before the quizzes and you're all set. Read her notes for quizzes and tests and that's all you need.
