Reviews of professor Katherine Frato

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She definitely cares about her students success. It's a difficult class, but it's chem, so not at all surprising. Stay on top of ALEKS and daily quizzes, and make sure to study for exams. Very accessible outside of class by email or office hours, and she will help you work through problems and corrections.

Dr. Frato is a nice teacher, but she can be... very awkward at times. Mainly during interaction outside of class. Other than that, her teaching is very liberal. There are a lot of prep quizzes, and other activities to do in her class which is due consecutively. Just make sure you are on top of everything.

Dr. Frato's class was usually a short lecture and a lot of group work on in class activities. The homework wasn't crazy, just prep quizzes and two big assignments per week. First test was hard and she doesn't offer much study guidance, but the problems from the textbook do a good prep job. The textbook is free, but the homework site was like $60.

She is very friendly. Her class is made up of mainly group worksheets and therefore she makes learning very interactive. Although she doesn't post lecture slides before classes, her lectures are very informative and easy to understand. Her exams are difficult, but so are the chemistry exams from other professors.
