Reviews of professor Rachel O'Brien

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. O'Brien is super accessible during and after class. Most of the class centers around real-life applications of analytical chemistry, which is very useful. Some of the assignments seemed redundant or unhelpful. Open-note midterm and final.

IA is a hard class no matter who teaches it. This was O'Brien's first time teaching it, started out rough (moves very fast through material on PowerPoint slides) but she adapted. Posts video lectures every class. Notes sometimes unclear, but her door is always open to help. Bubbly personality, and invested in the subject and her students.
