Reviews of professor Francis Mann

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Mann has a great way of explaining concepts. Her lectures provide a great deal of insight into the material. The only issue is she only explains 60 to 70 percent of the material on the exams. This means you must learn from your book and from homework. Neither book or homework were great teachers so make sure you see her during office hrs.

Dr. Mann does a good job at explaining concepts. She gives lots of practice and doesn't go to fast. There are a lot of opportunists to build up points so even if you fail the tests, you should do alright in the class.

Me and my colleagues all find Dr. Mann to be a little overwhelming. Her lectures are rushed and it seems like she's flustered all the time. It may just be because it's online though. The homework and exams are pretty straight forward. I go to Dr. Ray's lectures most of the time, she seems more relaxed and she's easier to understand when teaching.

She tells you exactly what you need to know during lectures. GO TO LECTURES! You can read from the book, but she will explain chem in a different way to help you understand. She is busy with research, so it can be difficult to see her outside of lecture or lab. Make an appointment.
