Reviews of professor Margaret Pavlac

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Pavlac is a good person but as a professor is really hard! Expect intense workloads that will be more than your overall course load as a science major and to spend much more time on her work than any other classes/let alone science classes. She is extremely patient and helpful however; but the grading and coursework is intensive and pulls your GPA.

I hated her. She was the worst professor I have ever had. She is incredibly passive aggressive and makes you feel stupid when you ask a basic question. Her tests and exams and super hard and she words them oddly which makes it hard to understand. Suffolk needs new chem teachers asap, they all low-key suck.

This woman was bullying me through the entire semester I took her course. Her exams are nothing like the lectures or practice exam and she HATES female students the most as she graded them harsher and was less willing to help than males. She made me hate my major and this course with everything in me.

Dr. Pavlac makes a hard subject like chem much easier to understand. She is very available over email and during office hours. She is very personable and is willing to give a lot of help with all assignments. There is a lot of work and the pace of the course moves quickly, but Dr. Pavlav does a good job with lectures and labs.

Chem112 is an EXTREMELY tough class. However, Prof Pavlac gives you all the resources you need. Review slides, practice exams, AND extra credit on all tests (including the final). Idk what other college professor is doing that. Anyone that says she's an awful professor probably just didn't put in the work that this class requires to succeed

Pavlac is a nice person, but I don't care for her teaching style. She FLIES through material - easy to fall behind. She is a little condescending to students who don't come to office hours? Tests are crazy hard, get ready to study a lot.
