Reviews of professor Janet Ochola

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I don't recommend Janet at all. I'm currently taking pt. 2 with a different professor and the teaching quality is way different. Janet expects you to know everything, and lectures very fast. Tough grader and does NOT give you enough time for tests. 2nd midterm, 99% of the class didn't finish due to time constraints. many cried. final = brutal

organic chemistry is a tough class but she prepares so well for the final exam. her lectures are very clear and she is good at re-explaining things if people don't understand. she's also very approachable and charming. I think most of the negative reviews are people that don't go to class.

Put the work in and do all the worksheets and assigned homework questions and you'll do well in her class. She explains things very clearly and her quizzes help a lot when studying for tests. Labs are easy just have a good partner.

Janet is great teacher, she explains everything really well. Although, when you ask a question, she doesn't really answer it (she asks the question back to you which get frustrating). 

I also find her a little bit intimidating as she seems like someone who doesn't like nonsense. Which most chemistry teachers are like in my opinion.

Janets super nice and easy to go to for extra help, although I found she does talk fast like others have said I believe she's trying to prepare her students for harder higher level classes. I found this course easy to understand the material but without practice you will not do well. Don't rely completely on the textbook practice questions also

Great Prof but lectures are very boring, she hands out practice pages which if you do every class you will easily get a good mark. IMO she is a very lenient marker and she posts a lot of content online to help you learn.

Janet goes very fast and will expect you to be able to keep up. There is a lot of memorization and she doesnt give enough time on tests so barely anyone finishes. She doesnt really do any proper review so the textbook is a lifesaver! I mostly had to teach everything to myself. The labs were straightforward, but didnt involve many class topics.

She expects us to know most of the material from the previous pre req courses, sort of a review. I lost my notes and can't keep up about what she's talking about. She talks fast and is redundant, hard to understand. This is my second class with her because no other choice, no one teaches chem 2321. Be prepared to study the lecture and you'll pass.

Not a fan of Janets teaching. Janet is the type of teacher to put things on tests that are barely covered in lecture notes. As a student in her class, I get the impression that she looks down on students and fails to have any sort of connection with students. Her teaching style also comes off lazy and there are times I question if she's winging it.
