Dr. Gates is an excellent instructor and by far one of the best I have ever had. Chemistry is a very challenging subject, this course is meant to provide challenges equivalent to a 4-year university course, but Dr. Gates provides far more help or guidance than you would get elsewhere. Read the textbook and watch lectures, go to the SLC for homework

Not very clear expectations or instructions

She is such a sweet caring person but this class is not it. I do not recommend taking her specifically for chem. You won't get stuff back till over a month later, the review answer key is wrong sometimes, weekly quizzes, lectures ranging from 40-1hr (at home). Labs are ok. Literally was lost day 1, even with "help".

Dr Gates is an amazing teacher and genuinely cares about her students. There is a fair amount of homework, lectures, labs, and reading to be done but nothing excessive for what is expected of chemistry courses. She always has a bright and inspiring attitude which really helped me learn the material.

Professor Gates is an alright teacher. She constantly canceled labs (often times with little notice and no information as to why) this made me feel like I wasn't getting the full benefit of the class. She will answer emails however her lectures are not clear and the lighting for going over homework is non-readable.
