Reviews of professor Shakila Tobwala

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I used to hate chemistry due to the amount of calculations and the confusing nature of it. After taking this class, I now have a basic understanding of chemistry and it is 100% due to my professor. She actually has a passion for what she is teaching, which is evident in her lectures and Im sad that she isnt teaching Chem 120. Would recommend.

Amazing professor! Before taking her class, I had never taken chemistry before and I was afraid of going in, thinking it would be difficult. She tells us what kind questions will be covered in tests and quizzes beforehand and is also approachable. Labs are all individual and a prelab is required.

Tobwala really cares about her students and wants them to do well. Tests were ok and not much hw She helps during labs and answers questions. I had a last minute emergency and emailed her 30 mins before a test and she let me retake it. Tobwala is understanding and she also is very knowledgeable since she has studied chem a lot.

Professor Tobwala is such a caring teacher who genuinely wants her students to succeed. Chemistry was never my best subject but she makes it so much more understandable. Her exams and quizzes are pretty accurate to what she is teaching and she doesn't add anything that she hasn't gone over.

Dr. Tobwala teaches the material well, but she can be tough and mean at times. When you don't understand a concept, she will either be happy to explain it again or be fed up by the fact that you didn't understand it the first time. She's nice but makes her students feel dumb, unless you really understand the material. Hard but fair teacher!

As long as you show up to class and do the work, there is no chance that you'll get below an A due to the insane amount of extra credit she gives.

She is an amazing professor. She truly wants you to succeed and helps you in any way she can to help you achieve your goals. Yes, this class is hard. You have to work hard, but she will help you every step of the way. Highly recommend.
