Reviews of professor Rupa Gokal

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This is my second time with Gokal and she did a good job at teaching ochem 2. It was frustrating to not know what would be on the exam until a coupe days before. Do the textbook problems!! Easy to make small mistakes, so take advantage of office hours or time after class.

OChem is brutal and incredibly time-consuming no matter who you take it with, so I really can't complain about Gokal. She creates organized, legible notes for every unit. I wish that she picked out certain textbook problems for us to practice rather than just telling us to do textbook problems, when there were about 400 per exam.

I am currently in Ochem 2 and I would sell my soul to be in her class again. She is so helpful and cares about getting you a good grade. She expects you to read from the textbook before class so she can go more in-depth during lectures. I never got a good grade in gen. chem but I got an A+ in her class. The bad reviews are from students who failed.

Awesome professor lectures were extremely helpful and she was very flexible with her office hours outside of what was on the syllabus.

She was an amazing professor it is horrible that she is leaving, but honestly if you are taking her at whatever university she ends up working at you are very lucky. She made o chem something fun and very engaging with plenty of helpful practice and discussions during office hours.

She's given a bad rep but she tries her best for her students. It's just unfortunate she's always spread so thin by the department. The course is hard because it's ochem 2.

I'm personally not a fan of her way of teaching which involves heavy use of clickers and almost a flipped classroom scenario in some lectures. It does work for others though.
