Reviews of professor Lauren Wugalter

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Lauren was not good. The class itself is unnecessarily tough. A LOT of work so don't expect much free time when taking this class. Tests every Monday too. She can be very passive aggressive and rude when you don't understand something, and she definitely won't hesitate to degrade you in front of the class. Avoid taking her.

She is an incredible instructor. The way in which she relates abstract concepts into clear cut ideas! It was cut up by watching prelecture videos and then actual class was group work based on those videos. Sounds intimidating but it worked really well. She is very particular with grading, but you get the hang of what she is looking out for overtime

Lauren is an amazing instructor. Taking chemistry 161 with her really helps you understand the basic concepts of chemistry overall. If I had the chance to take Lauren for my General Chemistry series and my Organic Chemistry series then I definitely would!!!!! If you're struggling in the class GO TO OFFICE HOURS. Lauren is extremely understanding!!!

Unnecessarily strict and difficult. Her entire style of "discipline" is authoritarian with impossibly high standards. Takes points off for made up reasons, won't accept work if it's 30 seconds "late" no matter the reason. Had to go back on my anti-anxiety meds entirely because of her. Avoid if you value your mental health.

If you prefer flipped classrooms, Lauren is great. Lectures are not too heavy most of the time and edited in a way that makes content digestible. Grading expectations are always clear, there's a class schedule that keeps class organized, and she responds to emails and questions quickly. Her feedback is great, worksheets and group work are helpful.

Lauren was great! I took both Chem121 and Chem161 from her and both classes were great (probably my favorite classes I've had so far at Highline). Although it's a lot of work to keep up with each week, if you actually do it all you're set. Make sure to ask questions if you have any, Lauren is very caring and really makes learning fun!
