Reviews of professor Andrea Gorce

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She's a really sweet teacher, just not the best professor for people who aren't naturally good at chemistry. I studied for hours each day and still did not receiving a good grade in this class. If you're one who struggles with chemistry, I would not recommend this professor.

Dr. Gorce is not as bad as people perceive her to be. O-chem is a difficult subject, and to succeed, you must not rely solely on the professor.  Dr.Gorce is sweet and is always there to clear up any misconceptions about the material. All her exam questions revolve around the h.w problems , and her lecture can be confusing but  the book will help.

She has this overwhelming desire to make sure that everything is extremely specific in her lab to the point where you wonder if it is necessary. She is strict in most regards and it is hard to get the information needed to pass this class.

I had to take Gorce for both of my orgo labs and I feel like she intentionally sets you up for failure when it comes to the quizzes and the final exam. I never got below a 92 on my reports and still ended up with a C because of this. She wont let you review and study your quizzes because she is too lazy to come up with new questions for the final.

Gorce is really just a rude person. She is not understanding and hard to reach through email. Her final exam was very hard and the content on it was not clear. I only did well in this course because I had an amazing TA, Baldwin is much better and has better exam reviews. I would avoid Gorce at all costs.

Dr. Gorce's class is by no means easy but that is to be expected with organic chemistry. She gives weekly quizzes, which are not the guessing game every makes them out to be. Read the procedures, learn the mechanisms and write detailed lab reports and you will do just fine in the course.

She's very judgmental.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
While Gorce wasn't my favorite prof, I believe the other ratings on here are a little too harsh. The lab is taught by the TAs, so you don't see her much. She can come across as a bit condescending but in my personal experience she was kind and informative any time I had questions or concerns. Pay attention to the syllabus and lab report guidelines!

She did not explain labs or concepts very well. I was confused and had to do research on my own in order to understand the labs. Baldwin is wayyyy better for labs!

This is the worst professor Ive ever had in my entire student career. I saw the rating at first, but didn't believe what was saying about her cuz I thought I can handle it. Unfortunately, I couldn't and I don't think anyone can. dropping from the class was the only option cuz of her attitude with the students.
