Reviews of professor Renee DeWitte

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She was very accessible and supportive. Willing to meet with you outside of classtimes to work through questions, quick responses to emails.

I learned more about her family life and past job than I did Chemistry. She continuously rambles about things off-topic. Better off reading the book than going to lecture.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Talks way too much about tangential things. She could easily teach the content in half the time she takes but decides to repeat herself too much and give too many pointless anecdotes.

She's not a bad teacher, but she has a habit of rambling on about things unrelated to the course, or less important things. She does grade harshly, but it's not to be unfair, it's to help you learn. There is a lot of work, and she's not an easy teacher by any means, you just have to be committed to the class and seek help outside of it.

If you do your homework and read the book you will do fine in this class. She is a very reasonable professor and sets her expectations and deadlines out clearly. She will not accept any late work which was a tad annoying, even if you are 10mins late to lecture its a 0. Lecture helps solidly whatever you read in the book/still have questions on.

Used pre-written notes on screens and moved way too quickly. Impossible to take notes during lectures. Unclear on what is on tests. This class should not be only 5 weeks... She can also be rude and condescending at times.

I appreciated her clear guidelines. When you do your homework, read the chapters, and make sure you stay on top of thing's you'll do fine in this class. Just listen to her advice and do it. It is a lot to learn, and you'll have to put the work into it.
