Reviews of professor Sharifa Love-Rutledge

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very nice person, you can tell she cares a lot about the students, but not the best teacher. Expect a lot of work: in-class assignments and questions, and homework, papers, and worksheets. She did not provide much instruction on assignments yet was a very picky grader. I wouldn't say it was an extremely hard class, but I also did not learn much.

She teaches as if you have taken AP Chem already. Very difficult to understand the material the way she teaches it. Awful office hours. Get ready to read a LOT!

She does not teach what is on the test. She continuously messes up examples and doesn't explain everything. She may have some knowledge of science but she can not teach or do low level algebra even if she is copying the work from her notes.

Shes incredibly kind and really wants all of her students to succeed. I explained to her what my career goals are, and she has actively mentored me for the past two years. I took two of her classes, and she is a great teacher. The people that are upset with her, are the people that arent prepared to put in the effort to pass.

She is very nice and will help you if you have questions in class or during office hours, but in class she just reads off of the slides and doesn't really explain the material in a way that makes sense. If you take this class with no prior chemistry experience, expect to go to the PASS sessions. I learned most of the material there.

Dr. Rutledge is a nice professor. However, she reads straight from the slides and can not answer any questions. On group projects and assignments, her rubric does not match her critiques. She said that she added homework to help us prepare for the test, but it turned out to be a waste of time. AVOID if possible

Reads right off slides but doesn't really explain anything we'll. Teaches like you have already taken a lot of chemistry already

Good person, awful professor.
I got to waste plenty of time studying for exams using materials provided [PASS (though I was already going), study guide, practice worksheets, class PowerPoints, homework, lectures, my own, etc.], just to be met with plenty of questions differing from what was actually taught in class and/or on study material.

The worst part of my college experience so far has been sitting through her painful chemistry lectures, and I love chemistry. I truly have no idea why she still has a job here. If you are signed up for her class next semester I highly recommend you change professors, if shes the only one with spots open, wait a semester to take the class.

Assigns too much busy work. Would not recommend taking her.
