Reviews of professor Karen Thickman

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The post-lab quizzes were difficult to get a decent grade in. It wasn't until 1/3 through the quarter that the teaching team decided to do something about how the quizzes were formatted. In my opinion, this course was too time-consuming for a 2 credit class. However, I will say that she responds to emails promptly and seems to be very knowledgeable

Karen made this class much more difficult than it needed to be. As others have said, the assigned reading is almost impossible to complete before each class. She expects you to teach yourself about 75% of the material and come to class mastering it. Her lectures are difficult to follow and she comes off as condescending. Regret taking this class.

 This teacher used the manual, which she created by herself. This manual has never been peer reviewed by anyone. It contains tons of mistakes.The organization of the lab is worse, no time in lab outside the class, not enough time to really enjoy during the time class because she put a lot of different experiments per lab. No safety rules!!!! Shame
