Reviews of professor Sonia Hirschauer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She was extremely helpful, organize, and clear with everything she did. Lectures are amazing and not boring at all. You learn new things every day with many practice problems during lectures. Homework is extremely clear and straightforward. Lectures and homework correlate with each other. She is super caring and understanding

She is both extremely knowledgeable and is also very caring. She gives you notes to fill out so either print them out beforehand or use a tablet/stylus. Her tests are very much reflective of her practice problems. I never needed to study from the book. She has lots of office hours, so go to her often! She's very approachable and understanding.

She is a fast lecturer, but gives printed notes you fill in. I would recommend taking her if you already have a decent understanding of chem. You have to study everything. Overall a good person, nothing against her but not very specific on what will be tested on, anything is fair game from the book. Attend everything. Grade is dependent on exams

She gives blank notes that you fill out as you go through lecture, and she posts filled out notes online. DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS, since they're very reflective of what's on the tests. Tests are fair, but have a few questions that might catch you. Very accessible during office hours. Go to class and discussions, since they're all very helpful.

Sonia is one of the best professors Ive ever had especially in a stem class. She is super nice and approachable and willing to help. Unlike most ochem profs she makes the challenge seem less frightening. Her notes are insanely helpful and organized. Her lectures are so easy to follow and she does so many practice problems in class its so helpful.

She is an amazing professor. She makes going to 8 am a bit more doable. She gives students breaks during lectures which shows she knows 8 am are hard. LOL She podcasts her class and gives outlines for notes. However, she isn't very specific tbh, so I would recommend reading the book even though it isn't required.
