Reviews of professor Florentina Pavel

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is the only teacher on this side of the chem department who doesn't have proctored exams, but she has a hard time getting her message across. Some people stopped going to class because her handwriting is atrocious, and she gets angry and annoyed easily. Only take her if you can pass this class asynchronously.

WOW! Dr. Pavel is hands down the best professor I have had so far at UNCC. She is just a caring and funny professor. She truly cares for her students and their grades. She provides a lot of resources to truly learn the material and her exams were not bad. I was terrified to take Chem 2, but she made it my highest grade for the semester. TAKE HER!!!

Its Chem, its going to be hard but take Pavel! Her lectures aren't anything special but she is a great professor. At first she seems scary but she cares a lot about you doing well. She gave an extra credit assignment that added 18 points to your lowest exam grade. Tests are pretty easy and usually old homework/practice test questions. Fun class!

She is passionate about Chemistry and will do her very best to ensure all students understand. ASK QUESTIONS! she will take as much time as needed to explain, she also gives guided notes (not for grades, just for personal use) to make sure you understand key topics from each chapter. She uses the extra practice questions on the tests, so do them.

I had a GREAT time! She may come across as harsh/cold, but DON'T take that personally. Very passionate about chemistry and willing to help. She is funny and will joke around with you. She is worth getting to know, and I would love to take all labs from her forever! She doesn't play favorites. Her pre-lab lectures run long.  Love her!

Uses PowerPoints with typed out mathematics, rather than solving and explaining by hand.

If you end up having her as your lab instructor, you're in really good hands. She explains how to do each section of the lab step-by-step in her instructor recordings. Watch the instructor recordings and lab demonstration videos! They are essential for doing well on the lab and lab quizzes.

Drop everything right now and register for her laboratory class. She's really a gem.

Took the synchronous online class. She just reads off slides during lecture. She will work problems if asked but she doesnt explain the concepts well.

Good Luck. Horrible. I have never seen a professor have errors in every lecture that students had to pick out for them. These errors would never be corrected because the professor never could seem to find the answer to them. When you ask a question she will sigh, and more than likely ignore you and complain. HORRIBLE.
