Reviews of professor Andrea Gorce

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The class was based on 3 exams, 5 quizzes, and a cumulative final. I'm still in touch with people taking the class currently (Spring 2024), and I was told that her idea of extra credit can in fact be a pop quiz. She doesn't emphasize any material in class and expects you to know everything before coming to class. Practically an online class

Dr. Gorce is by far the worst professor I have ever had. Her teaching skills are subpar and as a person she's condescending and rude. She expects you to basically teach yourself, refuses to curve, and expects that you know everything before entering class. If you have ANY choice at all, do not take Dr. Gorce.

Dr. Gorce is friendly but stern. I enjoyed her class because she usually explained concepts well. She offers plenty of extra credit. Her exams were fair and worth a reasonable amount of points.

She is the worst! She may be sweet and nice in person but is one of the worst professors out there. She doesn't even know what is going on! The exam can drop you a whole grade even if you do well on the quizzes and lab reports. Depends on TA if you will pass/fail. Heartless, cold, and idiotic. She'll truly makes you feel like you should end it all.

Does NOT give a single F about students. I legit had the flu (doctors note as proof) and she made me come to class. Do NOT take her courses if you can avoid it.

Had her for chem 208. She lectured and basically gave you all of the answers to your pre-labs. Her exam study guide was literally her final test with different numbers. If you do well in the labs and do the study guide for the final exam you should pass this class easily. Also, the questions during her presentations are extra credit.

Like all labs, this class was very dependent on your TA. If you're TA was a lenient grader, then this class will be super easy compared to 208. Gorce doesn't require attendance, but extra credit is given during class which is helpful for the final.

Dr. Gorce was nice but her lectures never helped prepare you for the labs and the final exam review session barely reflected what was actually on the final.
