Chemistry overall is a very difficult topic, but Dr. Atterholt made it easier for me to understand. If you don't understand something, go to her office hours- it helps tremendously! I took her for Chem140 as well, and continued to have nice results. Exams are a heavy part of your grade, but if you understand the homework, you will do well.

All she did was lecture. Was not engaging in this class. Lots of homework. She did respond to her emails quickly though, but I did not enjoy her class overall.

Professor Atterholt is a very nice and generous professor. She always offered good help for tests and quizzes. Her notes were thoroughly explained and provided good problem examples. Quizzes were given each class, but if you practiced the lecture materials, they were not hard. I did not take AP Chem in high school and this course was still easy.

She is a bad teacher. She only shows PowerPoint and never teaches you how to actually do anything. Instead of working out problems in class, she reads what you can on your own and there are 4-6 assignments a week that are online and paper. No help is given from her and every practice homework is graded and affects your grade negatively. TERIBBLE

Dr. Atterholt explains chemistry in a comprehensible way and has plenty of homework assignments to balance out the tests. She makes it very clear when she is accessible for office hours and is such a sweet and kind woman.

Atterholt is a very sweet lady and an excellent teacher! She explains the material in a clear way, and will always go out of her way to provide help or to answer questions. Definitely one of my favorite professors!

Lectures are extremely long and tests have to much information

Lovely and sweet professor. Willing to help. But did not like how she taught by reading off powerpoints. Come to class and do well on the homework and quizzes and you'll be fine on the tests.

Very sweet lady! Her lectures can be boring, but there is no better professor to give you a solid foundation in chemistry. She is very kind and is always willing to help in and outside of class. She is respectful towards all of her students! If you struggle with chem she will explain it in many different forms until you understand the material.
