Reviews of professor Maria Fernandez-Ochoa

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Ochoa is a very nice teacher who does a great job at teaching you the basics of Chemistry. There's a lot of homework that you have to do but it is to beat the concepts into your head and it's worth it in the end. She tries to get class interaction which is nice because it keeps you awake. If you are on top of your work the class is easy.

Professor is awesome, yes she is a tough teacher but she is very helpful and available anytime. She even offers chats, email and text message to help you. Take her and she will help you succeed. Test are hard so study but overall doable. Read the book and take lots of notes. Love her so much and she is lenient. She takes late work.

Dr. Ochoa wants to see her students succeed. She'll give you a solid foundation for future classes. Plus, she lets you turn homework in late. And if you have questions, she'll take the time to answer them. She has a passion for chemistry. And it shows.

I took chemistry 141 with her she is the worst teacher ever. She doesnt help at all she makes the class harder than it is. She often gives a practice exam which it has nothing to do with the exam completely different. She also gives a lot of homework. Her grading with lab reports are so harsh. I dont recommend her at all.

All the assignments were easy and interesting. Don't buy the textbook, I did and never used it. I took this class online over summer, so it was a lot of work but if you take it for fall or spring the work load won't be that bad. Take notes of all the quizzes because they are the same questions for the final. TAKE HER !!

I took Ochoa for both Chem 141 and 120 and shes honestly amazing. You will have to work hard to get an A but she has office hours and does a really good job of explaining and breaking down hard concepts. She gives you lots of opportunity to get a good grade. Anyone who thinks she is unfair or too hard is an idiot. She is also wildly beautiful.
